Village Improvement societies, as a
rule, have a hard time of it in keeping
alive. We know, however, of two socie-
ties in this state that are decidedly pros.
porous and they are those at Lyndonville
and Enosburg Falls. The secret OF their
success is due to the fact that they are
managed by the ladies. A visit to either
Of these thriving villages will show what
the ladies have accomplished in various
ways OF village Improvement. Wouldn't
it be well for other places to initiate these
villages in this direction ?-[ News and
