| Vermont has distinction equalled
by no other state in the union, with
an output of over half, or, to be ex-
plicit, 58.65 per cent. of the entire
marble output of the country. And

Dogs have just killed several hun
dred dollars worth more of valuable
sheep in West Rutland. Before
sheep raising can take its proper
place as one of Vermont's profitable
agricultural pursuits, cur dogs will
have to be put on the black list and
read out of respectable country life.

The business condition in rural
Vermont is good. Farmers are
commanding the best of prices for
their products. Crops for the past
season have been better than the
average. Lumbermen are making
preparation for busy fall and win
ter. All can find employment. We
have no reason for complaint, there
fore no reason why all cannot smile.

Judge Henry H Powers re-
marked some time ago that $780,
OG0 worth of untaxed personal prop
erty could be dug up right in Nor
ristown. The voters thought he
was about the right party to dig it
up and put him in lister. And the
joke of it is he found it all right.

We hope that the incoming legis-
latu,e will not devote more than
three fourths of it's time to fish and
game laws. The amount of time
that has been consumed in the past
two sessions on this kind of legisla-
ton has been ridiculous and the lid
lcule has not been too severe More
attention to state permanent high
way and less to fishing would GER
tainly be more beneficial Water

In state convention, in Ludlow
last wee the Baptists again went on
record as favoring state prohibition
in preference to the existing local
option law, yet it is quite likely that
some of the delegates in this con-
ven'ion were delegates in the re-
publican state convention last spring
which gave the local option law
strong endorsement. A good num-

The Randolph Herald and News
sums up the accomplishment of
whole week in the following meaty
paragraph:
"Twas q great week for President
Max Evarts:: His State fair won
sIgi al success; his big boss graced
the occasion as his guest; his daugh-
ter carried off the prize in the fitting
contest, and his woodchopper made
good his boast and his bet"
Mr.. Evarts is an excellent exam
pie of the men who do things. 1t
is only few years since he came in
to prominent notice in this state,
and yet he has done more to pro-
mote The development of our State
and secure for it that publicity we
are all advocating than a host of
men of me ms who might be named.
1t is mete and proper that he should
have hearty and thorough co-opera-
ton on the part Of press as we'll as
of our people.
If we study The situation in differ
ent parts of our State, we will be
surprised at the extent to which the
development Of communities has re-
suited from the enthusis site and
persistent effort of men who have
large interests outside of Vermont,
Iut whose love of our Green Mount
aims and the people thereof leads
them to devote their time as well as
their means to the promotion of
worthy enterprises within our bor-
