The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, August 2, 1889 Mendon 8/2/1889 At this time of year a large number of people visit Mt. Killington, some going for a day and others for a longer time. The Killington House has been repaired as have also the roads, and the property otherwise improved. Stages go almost daily from Rutland, going more through the "Notch" than the other roads. A new attraction has been placed there in the form of a United States signal station, under the charge of W. M. WILSON. Mt. Killington is one of Vermont's noted summer resorts, and is fast growing in favor with the people. Rev. D. W. DAVIS went to North Haverhill, N. H., last to remain over two Sundays. Mr. DAVIS will preach on the mountain the Second Sunday in this month. Mrs. Edward POMERY of Rutland, daughter of James RANGER of this town, has been very low; but was more comfortable the first of the week. Farmers are nearly through haying, and report an unusually large crop. There was a good attendance at both churches, Sunday. The potato crop promises a more abundant yield in this section than in some others. Potatoes will undoubtedly bring a better price, this year, than last, as they will not on an average be as good throughout the state. Mrs. T. E. SNELL is expected home in a few weeks from Sutton, N. H., where she has been stopping for several months with her sister. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT
