HARDWICK

With the fall of snow the past week
snowshoe talk is again rife in the old
town and to the end that the old Mo
hawk club may undergo revival this
winter meeting of all old members of
this club, all new ones wishing to join
at &c each and in fact everyone who
loves this wholesome recreation are not
only especially invited but requested to
meet at the scout rooms this week on
Thursday evening, Jan. 8, at Sis, when
plans will be made and discussed as to
the advisabi'ity of recognizing. If
enough are present and show the proper
spirit officers will be elected and plans
made for several hikes in the near flu
ture With the boy scouts and campfire
and pathfinder girls organizations with
good memberships at present, there is no
reason why the Mohawks should not
flourish this winter, because all signs
point TO the fact that we are to have an
open winter, at least it will not be so
cold as last winter, when snowshoeing
was almost an impossihility. Bear this
date in mind and come over to this meet
ing and take part in it.

The Hardwick academy basketball
team had an uneventful but long trip
home from Montpelier last Friday The
eyentfuI things happened in that city and
we're two in number. Number one was
their defeat at the hands of the Mont
pelier high school team, and the other
was the high cost of mot living but
sleeping at the Montpelier house. When
the manager came to settle the bill for
two rooms containing two beds each, or
for seven persons and heard the words or
rather figures coming from the mouth of
the proprietor of the hotel, 1856, the
team manager was rendered unconscious
and has not yet recovered, in fact, it
knocked out the visit to the high school
building that morning entirely. The boys
are in hopes to get part of this money
back.
