Success.
East Montpelier can do some thing
even if it does rain and several hind
RANGES are in the way. Anyone WHIT
doubts this assertion should have beer
at their first annual fair. We say IAN
nual," for when our people once begin q
good thing they will not let CO. and VIZ
prophesy that next year the fair viii
greatly surpass this, the first for many
years. Despite the lowering skies and
frequent showers, the crowds came by
twos and threes and singles, each one
bringing something to add to the inter.
est and exhibition. The Marshfeld band
