after ttie war of 1812, and the develop

the two great turnpike line*—Boston

peculiar business facilitlea were 'ecog.

Tills distinction aililt-il to other causes
made our Inn the mosl popular ami
nnU'it In the Wtiulham County of that
ilale. That lltpior float'll freely goc*
w tilioul say lug It abounded In other
taverns, ami a-as dealt out toeuslom
ere In every store. Our Stiles Inn aa-s
highly respectable according to the
si ami ant of the tiniea—a jelly, royaler
tiiK rendezvous, a here man anil tieast
fiuinil congenial entertainment, hut no
tale of any especialoutrage or inhuiua
nltv darkens its memory
It was the opening of railroads anil
the growth of manufacturing interests
that changed all this, banished the
stages, diminished private travel, ami
left lh* v lllage stranded upon Us hill
tip No wonder that balance should
tk' loal In such a change of, < nt< !-s. Vet
the change urn gradual, tine by one
the various Industries declined, the
nuintsi of stores lessened railroad
centers drew- away trade and custom
ers. Conditions were reversed. >i-ttt
Slatis. modUlcd iht'tr laws amt “wed
dttigers were less In evidence. In |s*i
Captain •'tiles removed to the West,
ami the Inn lost Us prestige. It revived
again under the administration of Mr.
Stephen Crosby, inaugurating what
may be called the era of the returned ]
Natl v e and Sum me boarder—boys who
hail gone out into U e w orld, returning
| to the old iun w th their families.
These founded home* ot their own,
and drew In other cottager* and tempo
rary residents, and thus by detrree* the
transformation was effected from a
business mart to the typical New Kn
gland hill villa ice.
The Kip Van W inkle who had slept
for sixty years in some shady corner
would Indeed rub his eyes in amaze
ment. In place of the clatter of slaice
coach and hum of industry, the busy
i streets and active workmen, he would
find one general store ami nineteen
closed houses. As he l«s,ks about the
town he would see greater changes,
frown in the valley he wouldsee mam
moth factories, turnimr out monster
bales of marketable productions, stores
and shops of every variety, churches
filled with hearers of alien race and
toiiKue-s—a ureal population gathered
into a community far exceeding that
of Thompson Hill in it* palmiest day*.
All over the town he would *ee mark*
of progress Hut what would the
rnowt arouse his astonishment is the
total ahwenee of spirituous beverage—
Hill and “l,#ine" taverns, rum-hole'
and “Wns” li<juor-»eIling stores—all
alike vanished. Front one end of the
town to another not a drop can he pur
chase to cheer his homesick heart. He
turns (jack for solace to the old Vernon
Htiles on the Hill-top. There It stands
on the turnpike the same long, low,
while country tavern, Ponog, with La
fayette swinging Ids hat In welcome.
Hut the bar has gone, and the row of
red-faced loungers. And there In the
old parlor, what of all things would
he find hut a band of white-ribboned
women, chanting the praise ol Tempe
rance. Never, in all its past history,
had the old Inn witnessed such an as
semblage, and we join with our old Kip
in wonder at the change.
As before said, it marks art epoch—
it typifies asocial and civ ic revolution, j
The New Knglnnd of today Is not the j
New Kngtand of our fathers. It con
fronts great problems of adaptation ami
reconstruction. New conditions bring
in ('inflicting if not antagonistic ele
ments. While we see great material
growth and pmspcrily, we see tilings
that sadden and alarm. If "there are
g tins lor all our In-scs," there ate al-n
"losses for our gain*."
Hut here again we lind in this old
Vi trion Stiles Iiiii not only a type but
an omen. The old building is the same,
-landing (irmly mi It- old foundation*
Ini it has taken oil nindern improve
merit-- 11 tins appliance* for draining,
bathing, healing, lighting- in clcatili
lu -s and taslefulm— it far exceeds that
of funnel vein*, and oilers a most de
sirable place of icfuge for winter a
well as summer. So we may bn|ie that
all unfavorable and harmful condition* [
rimy, in time, lie outgrown; that all of
the piisl that is Knurl, true and whole
some may la- preserved, and all that
la stimulating and helpful in the new
tie assimilated, and as these kihsI Sis
ters from all parts of our town unite in
maintaining its leui|ieranee standing,
so hilltop ami valley, native and for
eigner may harmoniously work toge
ther lor I he last Interests and highest
good of our old Thompson Town.
