board Of trade is interested is the 7
granite quarry opened 10y c. Victor |
Grant on the Vernon road. Very few
people know anything about tins IN
dustry, but it looks promising and we
can reasonably hope it will develop iu-
to one of considerable magnitude in
the near future. The stone appears to
be of excellent quality, and lays in
the very best location for easy and
cheap handling.
Our hoard of trade can reasonably
| take much pride in the organization
Of the Wiudham County Agricultural
association. We now have our county
agent with Us, and, As he comes very
highly recommended by the director of
| the agricultural department at Wash

colleges from which he graduated, he

felt for the better aud more profitable
agriculture in Windham county.

good workable foundation, the direc-
tors feeling that the Loan association
was an object well worthy OF our best
efforts; and it now an assured fact
that the Cooperative Building and
Loan association will become perma-
nently established and placed among
our prosperous institutions.
The West River Valley association
has the support of the directors, and
we have endeavored to enlarge the
