WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

Vermont 1907" published by the
state board of agriculture, Is being
criticized by some of the newspapers
because their particular portions of
the state are not given more space
and attention and because some other
portions, particularly Barton, are
given so much. We understand that
the Barton board of trade cooperated
with the state board in securing
good representation for it's town.
That is as it should be. Ii other
towns want to b. noticed let them
likewise speak up. Those who ask
are apt TO receive.-Bellows Falls
Times.
When our friend John E. Harris
took the editorial control of the Hard
wick Gazette he took occasion to
criticize the state papers for discuss

comes the said Harris into print with
the interesting announcements that
Judge George Nj. Powers will have
strong support for senator when il
becomes necessary to consider a sue
cessor to Senator Proctor, and that
Mr.. Fletcher is being labored with il
the interests OF harmony TO Withdraw
