LACE was q member of the Board of Ex-
aminers of this excellent institution. An
event of commencement will be the lay

THE death of William L. Barnes, at
the residence of his son Charles Barnes
in this village, was not altogether uneX-
pected and yet it was quite sudden. For
a couple of weeks he seemed to improve
but it was ephemeral. The remains were
taken to YOnkers, n. Y, and laid beside |
those of his wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles |
Barnes, and Mrs. G. NJ. Yauch of New
FORK city IA daughtcr), accompanying
them. Mr. Barnes was man greatly re-
spected IN this community, where he
lived several years.
LAST week we announced that Miss i.
f. Leahy had succeeded to the millinery |
business lately carried on by Miss A. NJ.
Griffith in the Hawks block, Main street. |
An inventory disclosing the fact that
more capital was required than she could
command, the stock, good will, etc, was
to Miss NJ. II. Sibley, . lady |
well known here. Miss Sibley will en-
ploy a competent milliner, has already
received new goods, has more on the
way, and hopes to merit the patronage
of the people.
ONE of the military companies expect
ed for our centennial has revoked its de-
cision and will not attend as a body. |
This is the Norwich University Cadets |
from Mortified. Gen. Gilmore, being
gives as the reason for this
move, the expense first, and secondly |
the fact that this being vacation time,
the BOYS will be scattered through several
States and would find much trouble in
getting together. Their action is to be |
regretted as the Norwich Cadets are an
exceedingly well drilled company.
WE are requested to say that in the
publication of the "early closing move
ment last week, wherein the days men
toned were stated to be Tuesdays and |
FRIDAYS, that Mr.. L. l.. Nichols signed |
the paper with the distinct understand |
ing that Thursday should be the second
evening, and not Friddy rs stated. He
says that he agreed to close Thursday and |
shall do so, opening Friday as usual. |
This matter of misunderstanding lies be-
tween the committee and those they
called upon and we trust it will not lead
to an abandonment of the whole plan,
now that accomplishment seems assured. |
VIM Il. MORGAN is doing the sensible |
thing in his repairs upon the Morgan"
homestead. While adding greatly to its |
convenience he retains the old part and
the inside finish is to remain antique.
This home is the historic Stafford resi-
dence erected in IVA, and is the oldest
structure in town. 1t has an old-fash-
Toned chimney 10xl0 feet, in the middle
of the house and several tire-places. |
These will be retained. The stairway is
the same as originally built and is fash
Toned after the style coming into vogue
to-day. This elegant home when com
pleted will be odd without any aifecta
ton of Queen Anne or other archi-
lecture.
THE early closing movement is a
reality, as will be seen by the cards dis
played in all our shop windows. The
exceptions are the druggists, harness
shops and newspaper offices. Beginning
next Tuesday the agreement is to close
at o'clock Tuesdays and Fridays as
stated last week. This will be quite a
relief to business men as well as to the
clerks in their employ Possibly the
summer arrangement may become so
well liked that the parties in interest
may conclude to make the arrangement
permanent as is done in BrattleborO and
other villages mentioned by us last
week. We suggest that this be thought
of with the possibility of changing the
weekly prayer meetings from Thursday
to Friday evenings.
KEEP your eye on our advertising
columns, and see which of the Benning-
ton merchants want your custom and
are sufficiently courteous to invite you
to call. There is much more in adver-
Using than you may think. 1t is not
only to tell of his goods that man ad-
vertises, but it is to invite the people
