The VA Vings Bank

For the purpose of allaying fear and to
give people confidence in the soundness
of the Bennington County Savings Bank,
against which there has been a small run
this week, we have taken pains to get re-
liable information as to its condition.
We assure our readers that it is not only
well managed but that we believe there
is not a safer bank in existence to-day
than ours. It's securities are first class
its deposits have steadily increased for
years and rum on it at this time is a
very senseless proceeding. Indeed the
run is dead after very brief existence
As near as we can ascertain this furry
was all caused by false stories that one
of the trustees was financially en-
barassed. This grew to include the
falsehOod that the trustee aforesaid,
owed the bank, and hence the rumors
and consequent unCasiness of the deposit
tors, or a certain portion of them. None
of the trustees have or can have the use
of any funds, as we state in another
place to-day. During this week every
body thus far has been paid who desired
it, yet the following bylaw of the bank
is well understood. Sec. II says:
''While the trustees are expected to keep
on hand sufficient funds to meet on de-
mand, all the ordinary and reasonable
calls of depositOrs, the latter cannot ex-
pect tc have their money so loaned as to
| produce them interest and at the same
time be in the bank earning nothing.
Therefore, to guard against contingent
| cies and to enable the trustees to meet
all the obligations of the bank within a
reasonable time, although any deposit or
part of a deposit not exceeding SO will
| be paid on demand, for larger sums the
| trustees are authorized TO require notices
as follows: Over S25 and not over $50,
five days; over $50 and not over 500, ten
! days: over 500 aud not over 5000, TWEEN
| ty days: over $500 and not over $500
! thirty days: over $500 and not ovel $500
fifty days; over 5000 sixty days. Pro-
viding that no depOsitor by dividing his
deposit otherwise than as above, shall be
entitled to require payment any sooner
than he would have been entitled had he
given notice for the whole at once "
We learn from the officials that there
is positively no ground for fears. Our
readers will recall that under Vermont
laws it is practically impossible for a
savings bank to fail; none to our knowl-
edge has ever done so. 1t therefore re-
mains with the depositors largely to say
whether by their future course they shall
injure an institution that is of so much
blessing to this community or not.

nCRmn Comfort. y

DR.. H. c. Day in the Troy Times of
Tuesday, has an article which we copy:
The Green Mountain Summer Home
Company is conceiving and maturing
plans for the outing season of 1892. The
preserves of the company, on which are
located Camp Comfort, a comparatively
new though well-known summer resort
AMI Little Pond, picturesque lakelet,
two or three miles from the camp and
six miles from Bennington, will undergo
marked improvements another season.
Just what these changes will be is not
known, but it is enough to know at
present that plenty of push, money and
influence is back of any scheme that the
company will be likely to set on foot
One thing is certain, and that is that
more forest lard will be bought. The
Little Pond property will be managed by
club, the trustees of which are Colonel
L. W. Winchester, president of the Ma
tional Express company; e. w. Quin-
tard, a well known banker; ex-Collector
E hardt and ex-SuTogate Rollin, all of
New York; Albert \. Sampson and r.
D. Starkweather of Troy, and II. w.
Martin of Bennington. At present a
good road, bit steep at one point for
about three-quarters Of a mile, leads
from the camp to the pond, where a
plain but good-sized hotel was erected
nearly two years ago. Next year good
road of easy grades will probably be
opened 10y way of Woodford CITY" the
hotel facilities enlarged, n number of cot
tages built, convenient paths and avenues
opened, the margins OF the pond fitted
up in good shape and trees removed or
trimmed so as to admit air and sunlight
and produce an artistic effect. The lake,
which is a gem flashing in the sunlight,
is about =, 800 feet above the level of the
sea, AMI is considered one of the draw
ing cards of the region. 1t is certainly
picturesque, as 1t lies enshrined in the
rocky bosom of the hills and sllrted by
| grand forests. 1t is claimed that in the
/ HIGH attitudes about Little Pond, where
Towering vegetation is scanty, there is
immunity against hay fever Several
