have had in contemplation for some
time the project of an organization for
the purpose of calling the attention of
city visitors and capitalists, also those
wishing to purchase farms, to our

quite number of those interested in
the parlors of Winooski Hotel to talk
over the matter After some inter-
change of thought it was deemed best
to make an informal organization and
G. O. May was elected temporary
chairman and y. H. Dwinell secretary
and treasurer. 1t was then voted that
the organization should be known as
the "Cabot Development Associat-
ton" 1t was voted to call an exper-
fenced real estate agent to come and
look our town over and see what in
ducements we can offer to call in cap
italists and visitors, and G. O. May, O.
II. Rowland and George Gould were
elected committee to procure the
real estate agent and show him about
the town. This will be for the pur-
pose of bringing into notice through
the city papers and agencies the adj
vantages of and inducements for capt.
talists and city people to come to our
beautiful Vermont town. M. ID. Wells
and O. III. Dwinell were elected
committee to prepare articles and by
laws and present the same for consid-

then voted to adjourn till Saturday
evening next at O'Clock at the same
place At this meeting let there be q
full attendance as this is move in
the right direction and it will be with
the farmers and business men to show
whether it will succeed or not.
Perhaps your correspondent never
had the same experience that our
Williamstown brother correspondent
has had in his twenty-five years of
writing in which he says a promise
was extracted from him never, to use a
certain woman's name in his items
while she lived in my thirty-tour
years of correspondence for the Watch
man. But did have request after
passing the box one Sunday morning
in church taking the usual collection,
from one of the members, not to stick
that box under his nose again. and the
request was obeyed.
