The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, August 2, 1889 As Good As There Is. 8/2/1889 [From the St. Johnsbury REPUBLICAN.] Old Vermont is about as good a country as there is, to live in. It is true, as the old saying is, we have eight months of winter and four months late in the fall, but some things we do not have, such as Pennsylvania floods, Western tornadoes and cyclones, Charlestown earthquakes, yellow fever, etc. If we only had a Fort Payne boom here, especially when a 35 per cent dividend was declared, we would be all right.
