April 10, 1877 - "Mrs. Francis W. Smith of West Newton, Mass, who was president of the women's temperance association in St. Albans while here, writes to a friend as follows: "It was my fortune last summer to be in St. Albans a few days, when I heard of the efforts of the Women's Temperance Association to establish a club room on temperance principle. I was highly gratified at this intelligence, as it seemed to me a practical move in the right direction. During my own brief connection with the association three years ago, I always advocated the plan of substituting temperance resorts for men, for bar rooms, and I shall look with great interest for the good results which I am sure must attend the experiment. My sympathies were always heartily with those ladies who have labored for the cause with so much patience, and I heartily wish them God Speed in their undertakings."".
