At the close Of the business session
the program opened with singing, fol
lowed by very interesting and in
structive talk by Mr.. Butler He CAV,
something of the early history of tn,
town, comparing the conditions of tina,
time with those Of today. The frst
settlement was made in 1777. afte1
which the town had rapid growth
until 1860, when there was a popula
tion of over 1000, making this tbs
third town in size in the state. ThcI
were these hills and valleys populated
with enterprising farmers. while We
today, Mr.. Butler said, are only specu
lators or specialists. To be a farmer
one must raise something in excess OF
what he buys. He believes that we
have reached the extent of our decline
and that the town has a favorable out
look for the future.
The program closed with a few selee
tions on the victrola. The next regu
lar meeting of the club will be held al
the River schoolhouse ON the evening
of the first Tuesday in December.
