THE HOTEL PROJECT.
Total Amount Subscribed 33,ooo-State-
ment From the Committee.

This time it is sink or swim. Every
two days from now on there will appear
in this paper the amount actually signed
up for stock in this new hotel. Stock
that we are expecting or that we have
promised as sold will not appear in this
list until signed up on application
blanks In going over what stock APP
plications we have, we find that lS9 peo-
pie have subscribed. Some of this is
by firms where there is more than one
member. BY this you will very readily
see that all have not taken all they
should. Some have.
1t is surely not what one would ex-
poet in city as prosperous as Barre,
city of all cities in Vermont where a
good hotel is most needed, and If your
present committe has anything to do
with it, it will be first t-class hotel or
none at all. The location will be right,
the organization OF the hotel company
right and if you are stoekholder it
is for you to say who shall be who.
We have a large membership in our
Board of Trade. They all want to help
Barre in some way. That is what they
par their S4 for. Now. gentlemen, if you
are to get all that is coming to you, you
will have to help your committee all
you can, and just now you can do no
more than to talk hotel to everyone
you meet. Keep it up for week or so,
take what stock you can, sell some to
your friends and then see the hotel stock
grow.
To-day we have applications for $685.
10000 OF stock. Watch Thursdays
paper to see how much it will be then.
Talk hotel to the committee They
have news to tell you that you have not
heard. Those who have not been solicit
ed will have chance to take stock very
soon BE thinking over how much and
not how little you can take. Every
one plan to take stock. You won't get
rich on a few shares, but you will get
as much as the average investment
and if rightly planned you will get more.
You can see by there now being l89 APP
plieations for stock that it is not to be a
one-man or several mems hotel. 1t is
to be owned by the community, who will
select managers to build and operate
A vote of your stock is as large as any
ones. Take all that you can. When
you help local enterprise, you always
help yourselves.

Sir Thomas Barlow, physician to

when Mr.. Reid's illness became acute,
and his regular physician, DR.. William

had suffered at considerable intervals
On Wednesday last asthma supervened
and the asthmatic paroxysms became
very severe. leading to extreme ex,

1T was hoped that he might rally,
as no pneumonia symptoms had ap-
peared. With difficulty the paroxysms
of asthma were got under control, but
the exhaustion became extreme and
he died from pulmonary oedema."
