TERMS IN ADVANCE.
An error, perhaps harmless enough, but

An error, perhaps harmless enough, Dut
an error, after all, appeared in our local
columns, Saturday morning, in reference
to the "pioneer druggist and the first
drug store in Rutland. In the "new Rut-
land that built up STAGE 1S49 the state
ment was correct. but We had druggists
and drug stores in Rutland ahalf century
before that time. We have not our mem
oranda before us, SO as to state who was
the first druggist in Rutland, that is who
"kept the first drug store" or the exact
date at which that branch Of business was
introduced into Rutland. AS early, Ger
iainly, as 1918, doctor Thomas Hooker
had a drug store here, and his title of
Doctor was derived entirely from the
fact that he had drug store. We cannot
fix the date, but James Porter, NJ. D., had
drug store on Main street-we think on
the site of John A. Sheldon's residence
more than half century ago, as did his
son, Henry W. Porter, either with his
father Or alone, to ourpersonal recollection,
some thrty-five or more years ago. We
think, but are not sure, that the POrlcrs
pccuvicd place u lii,lc north Of that oc-
cupicd by DIR. Hooker, and that they sub.
sequently removed to the brick store, now
standing on West street, the second build
ilg west of Main street. These corrections
may not be of any particular consequence,
but the future historian, in writing oc Rut-
land, might, without them, say that wc
bad to send TO Troy, Albany, or Boston for
uur Mclicines prior 10 1919 OF 1850.
