T0WNSHEND
Enthusiastic Meeting Of Finance Com
mlttee,

nlttee.
An enthusiastic meeting of the finance
committee of the West River Valley as
ISOLATION was held in the Townshend Inn
Saturday. There was large attendance
and the meeting was protracted and
very successful Plans were formulated
for the carrying out of the purpose of
the organization, and much enthusiasm
was aroused for the project under con-
sideration.
There seems to be no reason why
Townshend should not be made an ideal
summer resort. We have the pic
teresque scenery, the cool nights and the
invigorating air common to Vermont.
We have also a quiet, law abiding, in
telligent, enterprislng, and moral. people,
denghtful sites for cottages or bunga-
lows, near farmhouses where water, milk
butter, eggs and such produce as might
be necessary for food can always be OBJ
tanned in the summer time. There is al
most no lawlessness In the town, an ar
rest for any offense being exceedingly
rare. Church privileges are all that can
be desired, regular services are held
every sunday, both morning and even
ing, in the two churches In the village
and at West Townshend. Sunday schools
are supplied with competent teachers,
and there is a spirit of union among the
churches which is always a pleasing fea-
visitors.
We lack nothing but a better train
service for anyone who may wish to
board at first class hotel, or in private
families, or who wish to build cottages,
or camp out on the mountains. Why
not talk 1t up to your city friends and
advertise it for the benefit of strangers +?
Nor is the summer sojourner the only
one to whom the town is of interest 1t
is good field for those who are con-
templating settling on a farm. There are
many farms which can be bought at a
reasonable figure, and some which have
not been worked to their full capacity
of late would yield a good living for
honest people who are willing to work.
There are excellent educational privil-
eyes, with consolidated schools in the
village which fit for entrance to the
academy and Leland and Gray semi
nary, college preparatory school with
free tuition for all who live in the town
or state.
While the population has changed con-
siderably in the past few years, the new
corners have proved to be a fine class OF
people for the most part, and have kept
up the record of the people of the town
for intelligence and morality. We have
room for many more like them.
