The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1920-05-15
BRATTTEBORO SATURDAY,

a market day when buyers and sellers may
meet each other and conveniently tran
sact their business. We do not know that
our suggestions have been considered or
that they have even attracted attention,
but we should be glad to learn the views
OF any person or persons who desire the
prosperity of this community, in regard
| to this matter Is the plan practical? Can
| it be accomplished? How can it be eff
fected? Who will start it? .
We took the initial last year in sug-
costing General Washburn for governor
| and our choice was confirmed by the
\ state. We now take the liberty of sug-
/ costing Hon. Julius Converse of Wood
stock as a candidate for our next chief
magistrate, a man, who by character, at
talnments, experience, knowledge of pub
lie affairs and gentlemanly demeanor, is
every way fitted for the Office and if
chosen will fill it worthily and we think
acceptably to the people of Vermont.
One day last week, Hiram Atkins, editor
of the Montpelier Argus, had occasion to
go from this place to Wardsboro Re
turning through West Dummerston the
axle of the carriage suddenly broke, spill
ing the occupants of the carriage promis-
| cuousy into the road Our informant says
Atkins was knocked sensible by the fall
and that he had fears for few minutes
that the Democratic party of Vermont had
ceased to exist.
On Sunday and Monday the 18th and
10th insts., we had a touch of summer,
the mercury rising to 81. Vegetation is
coming along very rapidly and the sea-
son is a week or two III advance of last
year Gardeners and farmers are busy
putting in seed for future harvest.
We take pleasure in announcing that
St Michael's Episcopal church has been
made the recipient of very fine organ
of large size, the gift of a few individuals
| belonging to that church 1t was pur-
chased of Johnson of Westfield, Mass, the
price 81 600 1t is said to be first rate
instrument and we congratulate the church
on their good fortune.
|, We understand that j. Estey & Co.,
have lately sold four or five of their build
ing lots advertised in previous numbers
of the Phoenix. The prices of the lots
ranged from 5000 to $500. At these reas-
enable prices we judge there will be no
difficulty in disposings of them all within
a limited period. The day is not far dis
tant, we imagine, when there will be quite
settlement in that part of the village.
Humphrey Carpenter OF West Brattle-
boror reports the labors of one of his bid
dies which is worthy of mention. She
laid in succession SIX eggs averaging three
ounces each 1t is not an uncommon
thing, as our readers know, for a hen to-
make single great effort and produce
one big egg, but for a biddie to bring
forth six in succession is now put on
record for the first time.
We need in this village an association of
our most active and enterprising citizens
to consult and work together and in har
mony to accomplish two specific objects.
One is business revival the other moral
reformation Who will take the iniatory
steps?
