Whitehull.

A great excitement prevails over the re-
suits Of the action of the board of excise
which met this y. m. A committee, select
ed from the best of our citizens, composed
Of ladies' and gentlemen, called at the trus-
tees rooms, where the board then con.
vened, and through their secretary, Mr.. ID.
p. Nyc, ex-sheriH of Washington county,
presented a remonstrance, signed by over
2,100 citizens Of this town, praying the
board to grant no license this year to any
one to sell Intoxicating drinks. The board
is composed of the trustees, w. +. Bascom,
Pres, r. w. Chaplin and A. II. Tanner.
They received the committee with due
courtesy, and after receiving the remon-
STRANGE, Mr.. Bascom replied in few we'll
chosen words. The committee retired, and
the board, after due delberation, decided
not to grant any license, and adjourned for
one month.
Temperance people feel this is a good
omen for the cause the other side are
much excited, and it is rumored that the
1uell Hotel and the Dill Hotel will be
closed if the Hall brothers can
be persuaded to close the Hall House.
If such should be the case it would only in
iure them, as the citizens would at once
open all private houses for the accomoda-
ton of travellers. A calm, cool survey of
the whole subject will set all things right,
and our town will be redeemed from the
curse that has so long hung over it,

LUDLOW wooLLN MILLS,

Located in the very centre of this thirty.
ing and beautiful village is large bricl;
building which bears on the outside and all
Its surroundings the sign of prosperity, and
person passing By it is greeted with the
sound of machinery and many faces are
seen through the windows all being oc-
cupied in some business. 1t is the Ind
low Wooden Mill which was first Organized
in 1885, by a party of men which were
possessed of but moderate means and had
but little knowledge of the business of man
ufactufing.
They adopted the name of the Screen
Mountain Manufacturing Company" and
Mr. Stephen Cummings n long time mer.
chant of that place was appointed its agent.
The company did not succeed financially
and in 1887, during the great panic the
company succumbed and until 1871 or 2,
the mill was not used. About that time
parties I ON ont of the state negotiated for
the property and soon the busy hum of its
spindles and looms were again heard" The
firm who leased the works was Geo. s.
Coffin Co., and they adopted for the mills
the name "Okeemo Mills"
This partnership was continually being
changed by some retiring from the firm and
others taking their places until finally the
Messrs. Adams of this town then among
our most prominent business men secured
possession of the largest portion of the
property, and after several years, during
which time this mill ike many others did
not prove financially a success, it came
completely into the hands of Messrs. Ward
and Buffum two practical manufactures,
and from the date of their association with
the mill the success OF the works has been
uninteruptedly going on.
They continued in the mill until about
twelve years ago when they disposed Of
their interests to the present proprietors
Messrs. Geo W. Harding & Co., than
whom no more energetic successful and
| practical business men II be found any
where in the country and to them the peo-
pie of the town owe debt of gratitude.
| for the pains they have taken to add to the
prosperity and growth of the place, and
every interest of the town is in n large de-
gree affected for good by the successful
prosecution OF
