HUDsoN's dining rooms and ice cream
parlOrs, in the new Putnam Block, is an
addition to the town that we have long
needed The confectionery department
is especially nice, the candies being of
his own manufacture. 1t has become
quite custom here for families to take
their meals out, and Hudson provides
Just the place to accommodate all such.
His restaurant is in charge Of one of the
very best cooks IN the country
ACTIVE preparations are in progress
for an entertainment tn be given in the
new Opera House, on the event of ST.
Patrick's Day, for the benefit of st. Fran
els de Sales church. A curt and highly
interesting lecture, a short drama of a
very pleasing nature, few well selected
specialties, arranged by Mr.. James Whit
new, and an uprOariOus farce entitled
1.-THE Ilish Doctor" will leave not ing
in the line of amusement to be desired.
THE nearest approach to the lepetition
of the scenes of 1928. during the recent
| blizzard and deep falls of snow, was that
of two lady employees of Campbelrs mill,
who live on East Main street. They had
been down the road visiting over Sunday
and started from Troy on the sleeper
Sunday night for Bennington. They
reached here along towards morning in
the midst of the snow and he thermOm-
eter away below zero. There was but
little time between their arrival at the
house and the hour when breakfast was
ready, after which, nothing daunted, they
set out to go to wOrk-a distance of near
ly mile. All went well until Dewey's
place was reached when their strength
nearly failed, but they finally rallied and
reached their destination in saIety. We
are of the opinion that few men would
care to endure as much in the biting cold
of Monday morning.
THE project to establish an Ensor In
stitute here for the cure of the liquor
habit, ETC., is rapidly gaining ground.
Mr.. w. J. Thompson, to whom we re
ferred last week, met goodly number
of our citizens Gncluding a number of
ladies', at the Probate Office Friday
evening. The assembly was so large
that an adjournment was had to the vii
lage rooms. Mr.. Thompson explained
the nature of Dir. Ensor's remedy and the
results where it had been tried in the
West, and it was voted to support him
in a trial of the cure. Mr.. Thompson
represents Vermont for the cure, and his
proposal to demonstrate the efficiency of
the treatment by taking a number of
lDcdl pdlltnJS lnOb WIFI Il HOdily CU-OpeT-
alton. The work began Saturday and
has since been continued. The otfic is
with DR.. Potter on Main street, that of
DR.. Rogers, who kindly gave its use,
proving too small after the first day or
two. This morning we learn that all the
patients are doing well, are themselves
satisfied and hopeful. We trust they
may become entirely free from the habit.
The cases SO far are chronic and their
discharge as cured will certainly demon
strate the efficacy of this treatment, The
outlook now is bright for an Institute
that will bring into town a large number
Of patients. The Ensor Remedy Com.
paDy is corporation of South Omaha,
Neb. The treatment proceeds on the
assumption that the liquor, morphine
and other habits.is disease and must be
treated scientifically.
