BrattlebOrO Hospitality.

Brattleboro business men are stir
ring each other up to make a sue
cess of the visit of the 200 Springfieli
men who will visit there Friday The
president of the Brattleboro Board
of Trade. Dennison G. Cowles, has
eXerted influence to have all the bus
mess men do all that they can to help
along the pans. Bratteobro feels
strongly that the visit of the men from
that city is of Importance to their
town, and there will be an eXcer-
tionally good opportunity for Spring
field business men and the SPRING
field Board of Trade to extend their
influence by better acquaintance and
talking things over" The Brattle-
boro people are not giving away all
that they have up their sleeves" in
the way of little surprises and pleas
ant features for the benefit of the
visitors, but their anxiety to make
the event a first class success is a
guarantee that the hospitality will
be of the best sort. AS the Springfield
men are going by special train there
will probably be announcements
made in places along the way of the
passing through of the company from
Springfield, and perhaps some display
of "aliveness" for the benefit of those
who see the train pass,
