Royal Male Quartette
Very truly,
G. F. SMITH

Don't forget the concert by the Royal
Male Quartette of players and singers
which occurs Thursday evening, Jan. l 8.
This concert forms the third number of
the Entertainment Course under the aus
pices of the Woman's Club, and will
doubtless be to many the most interest
ing number of the course. The young
men who make up the quartette have
been working together for seven years,
which of course assures splendid ensemble
work, and in addition each member of
the organization gifted individually, so
that the program comprises not only
quartette singing, but orchestral selec-
tions, instrumental solos, vocal solos and
readings. The occasion should prove a
rare treat to music lovers. Remember,
tomorrow evening, at the town hall.
Single admission SOC.

Mrs. Henry Fisher,
Pres. MorrisviIle Woman's Club,
MorllSviNla, Vermont.

| Pres. M0rrisvile Woman's Club,
| Morlsv''e, Vermont.
My Dear misunderstanding that voul
Clue was Interested, some time ago, il
starting fund for hospital, and think
ing you may still be interested in such q
| move, | wish TO present proposition tt
| the members OF your Cub. | will 90
| discuss at length the needs of hospit a
| for the town or county, but briefly the
advance IN medical science and surgery
the large number having to be taken tC
Burlington or. other pitfalls, the emer
| gency cases, the better care that could bt
given to many who are unable to secure
the services of a trained nurse, and the
many lacking room or conveniences foi
a trained nurse in the home, make hos
pital a necessity in this day of civiliza
tion. We have talked with citizens ol
Hardwick, st. Johnsb bury and Barre re.
gai ding their hospitals and they are en-,
thusastic in their praise for services rem
dered the communities.
For some time we have been impressed
that dorchester Heights' was the most
desirable place for hospital that could
be found in the town or county. The To-
cation is ideal and the buildings were
planned for it. The house has laundry
in the basement, five rooms beside halls
and pantry on the ground floor, six
rooms and bath on the floor above, and
nearly as much more room on the second
floor above. Plenty of stable, storage and
garage room, nice ice house and hem
merry with a capacity for 100 birds. 1t has
u acres of land, two or three acres of
which is pine and spruce grove. All
milk, cream, eggs, poultry, and vege-
tables, truit, etc., for the hospital could
ha Il m. pd an YNlC of iY,isN
cost. and would always be fresh and of
the finest quality.
The Time has come when we are ready
to dispose of this property at reasonable
price. While it is very desirable place
for any one wishing to keep summer
boarders, or for people desirous of a
pleasant home where Vermont's scenic
beauty is at is best, yet being sufficiently
interested in hospital for Morrisville
to try to secure the same, we are gong
to make your Club the following propO-
sition.-We will name three business men
in MOrrlsville, who are acceptable to
your Club, or committee from it, said
men to have no special interest in or
friendship for us, even excluding any per.
son connected with the M. E. society.
Said men to apprase the property at
what they consider fair cash value. We
will sell at their appraisal
If your Club is sufficiently interested
in this to canvass the town to secure the
necessary means to buy the place and
create an endowment fund for the hosp-
tai we will give $1,000, toward such funds
Were we able We would like to give the
for a public hospital. With
many in this and adjoining towns much
better able to give large sums, together
with hosts of people who will be glad to
give smaller sums, good endowment
fund ought to be raised.
Trusting you may be interested in this,
we remain,
Very truly,
G. F. SMITH.
