THORN POINT Hotel, at Cedar
Beach, is approaching so near com
plstiOn rs TO deserves word Of praise
for the contractor aud builder-Mr
William A. Deputy-whO has made
highly credi.able job Of il. The
building is in much the same shape
rs the old Clark Hotel, which was
burned nine years ago. 1t fronts the
Bay AS the fOImer hotel did, but sets
much higher on the stone piers. II is
50x30 front with an l. for double kit
chen 20xlS feet, dining room 29xl9
In the southeast end are bay parlOr,
with private parlOI in the rear, "a spa
ciOus hall runs through the building,
ten feet in width. In the secOnd-stOry
are eleven bedrooms, with two stair
ways-there is room in the garret for
six OF eight other rooms, but they are
not included in the contract. Not
only is the workmanship aud design
Of Mr.. Deputy worthy of special praise,
but the same extends to Mr.. Marvel,
who is doing the brick work and plas-
Lering. Que thing very Objectionable
Ia the old hotel will be missing Ia the
new one, aud that il, the bArrOOm,
which Is not in the hotel at all, but
being in another building some dis
anee off on the opposite side of the
'Oad. Thorn Point WAS once highly
popular place of resort, especially by
he citizens of Milford. 1t was visited
~ some of the first people of the State,
rom as far off as Smyrna while kept
~ the late Thomas Clark, and there
5 no reason hy,ifprOperly conducted,
Is popularity may not return. II is
wO miles nearer to Milford than any
,ther beach resort, and is quite near /

Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1889-11-01

A wealthy woman recently gave
5000, 900 to establish summer resort
for poor mothers and their children.
God bless her; this is only one in.
stance among thousands where wo-
man has conceived and executed grand
ideas. Women are rapidly entering
every branch Of the useful arts. ant
aspiring to every money making EN-
ployment. "What shall we do with
our girls" is no longer mighty prob
lem for mothers and fathers to solve.
Some one has said cit takes a woman
to set a hem" and so it does. The
most successful poultry raisers are
women. We have had in mind a
woman who has for years raised finer
poultry and got more eggs from her
hens at less expense, than her male
neighbors,-practical men too. Let
your girls engage in the poultry i'm
dustry, as many are doing. Give
them fair share of the profits, and
they will soon convince their fathers
that girls are mighty handy persons
to have about the old home. With
the aid now offered any person can
make hens lay even in cold weather.
Out of twenty=four gold coin premiums
offered last winter for best results, one
third were won by women who used
Sheridan's Condition Powder to make
hens lay. For example Mrs. Henry
Baker, Holliston, Mass, won $40 and
got from Is hens during three months
trial 1859 eggs; Mrs. L. J. Wilson,
Northboro, Mass, got 3343 eggs from
100 hens. Mrs. Edwin Brown, East
Greenwich, r. l., from 81 hens got
2464 eggs; Mrs. E. BARLEY, Freeport,
Pa, got 1929 eggs from SO hens; Miss
Ada L. Ross of Mt. Sterling, ILL.,, from
10 hens got 1856 eggs; and Miss Maggie
Crushorn of Ottobine, Va, got 1000
eggs from 80 hens; each of the last
five ladies also won II $500 premium
from |. 8. Johnson & Co., % Custom
House ST., Boston, Mass. Every per.
son who sends this firm now 81 20 fora
can of Powder, and desires it, can
have his name entered as competitor.
If the premiums are again offered. For
80 cts, they will send two % cent
packs of Powder; for $1.00 five packs
postpaid; six cans for $500, express
paid; large can of powder, also one
years subscription to Farm-Poultry
monthly, both sent postpaid for $3.50.
Sample copy of paper 8 cts. Send
stamps or cash. Testimonials sent free.
