A LIVELY VERMONT VILLAGE.


NfTOn the Barre llmeS.)
The town clerks census of Bethel viii
lago for the present year showing an in
crease of nearly 400 persons over the Uni
ted States census of 1910, Is very encour-
aging inasmuch as many villages and
towns of Vermont are most likely losing
or standing still. 1t Is probable that
Bethel is at the present time the fastest
growing community in the State because
the population has increased approxi-
mately 40 per cent. since the federal
census was taken. This Increase is at
tributable largely to the development of
the granite industry in that community.
even as a similar industry is to be given
credit for marked growth Of several 9TH
er places in Vermont The granite busl-
ness has been big help to the little
Windsor county village and it is bound
to make 1t more than ever one Of the
prosperous, progressive centers of the
state, to which more and more people
will be attracted,
There is one feature about this kind
Of growth, too, which is sometimes over
looked. The increased population Of
towns and cities having granite indus
tries in their midst is not recruited to
any appreciate extent from other COM
munities in Vermont, but it draws from
other States and even other nations,
since skilled workers in this line of In
dustry come largely from far away stone
working centers, the percentage of resi-
dent population going into the business
and learning the trade being negligible
Therefore, the smaller communities are
mr. 1Cain oh
the granite plants and the net gain to
the state in population is almost in pro-
portion to the gross increase of the gran
lite towns, excepting, of course those who
may be attracted to the growing centers
of population as offering better advan-
tages for profit than the country COM
