ONE OF TIRE OLD TIME TIs PEDDLERs.
While at the Manchester Fair. last
week, trying TO induce the average
house owner 10 keep his roofs rain
proof. my old friend, John Davis, came
along, and we had an old-fashioned
visit. Fifty years ago he used to drive
a tin cart, in fact, il is but a short time
since be abandoned the old-fashioned
cart. Honest, frugal, and good Judge
of barter, he amassed some wealth.
built large building at the Depot,
owned il aud several carts until, few
years ago, he sold out 10 his son, who
runs the business as his father did.
John tells me he has sold out his real
estate in Manchester and now lives in
North Bennington, but he still buys
furs and ginseng, and looks as bright
and steps as spry AS ten years ago. He
is one of the many who, born in Peru,
that home of hardy, honest boys and
girls. have come down into this valley
and become a success. He is a veteran
of the civil war who in the service of
his country became partially disabled
and draws pension. He says he aims
to get his effects into shape so that
when the Grand Master on high calls
him he can go and leave no cause for
litigation over his estate. We hope he
may remain to visit us often, as of such
men the real valuable citizens of Yer
mont are made, and we cannot have
too many of them, and it is pleasure
to grasp their hands and visit with
them. 81 CLONE.
