We seldom boast of our attrac­ tions but we think it can be truthfully' said, that for enterprise of our citizettsv for beauty and fer gener al health since our existence as a town, the city of Woodstock, in proportion to popula­ tion, is not surpassed by any town or city in the United States. Rents are reasonable, property for residences and business purposes can be purchased at fair rates for cash or on reasonable terms.

V- ,« J6T*lt is said that at the Centennial "one of Philadelphia's fairest daugh­ ters, a lady of culture, and a member of one of the best families, wore a dress costing only fifty cents?" Oh! Oh!
