: on the east occupied by Messrs. Hart ant
Hitchcock look fine since they wer
. painted those delicate light colors.
4 MAJOR CoFFEY has commenced hay
2 ing, and soon the grounds of the Sol
diers' Home will look fine. If thu

would not last long.

nington wooden mills is Mr.. +. B. Carver

THE concert and social at the Putnam,
Monday evening, by the Polyhymnia
quartette, assisted by the Philmarmonics
of Cohoes, and Miss Miller of Troy, N.
Y, and by Frank Gage of Boston was a
grand success. The avails are to be ap-
piled to church purposes.
FROM Chas. r. Sanford's residence in
Bennington Centre, all along the front
age of the John Wool Griswold farm, for
about three-fourths of a mile, the grade
is perfect and the grass is moved as
evenly as possible-from there drive
through the streets of this village and
see the contrast. VIII the citizens, and
the Village Improvement Society and
the village trustees, all combine and SEQ
what can be done ?
OUR local readers should all recolloct
the special village meeting, next Tues
day afternoon at one o'clock, and turn
out. If this is done there will be no ques-
ton as to the result-the motions to dis
miss the articles in the warning will be
SO prompt that we shall hear no moro of
special meeting expenses. 1t is too late,
gentlemen, in the 10th century to turn
back the hands. The village survey is
bound TO stand and the improvements TO
continue on systematic plan. Turn
out, voters, at one o'clock.
THE change of time on the Fitchburg
and Bennington and Rutland railways,
noted in another place, shows how great
| has been the increase of service by the
4 summer arrangement that took effect
the Goth of June. For some time Supt.
Bennett has been working to bring about
the putting on of flyer between New
York and Montreal, but until low the
plan did not appear feasible to all the
parties in interest. 1t is an assured fact,
however, and vestibuled express train
runs daily, except Sunday, between
these points. The route has very
properly been named Screen Mountain"
it will greatly enhance the summer
travel to our section because OF fast
trains and many of them. See time cards
for details.
THE Bennington County Savings Bank
declared its usual semi-annual dividend
of two per cent. July LIST and carried
very handsome sum to surplus. The
latter is from the accruing earnings of
the past six months, above the dividend.
This bank is one of the very best in the
State and its history is a pretty correct
index of the prosperity of Bennington.
The number of depositors are increasing,
and especially is this true of the people
of smaller means. The deposits are also
increasing in volume having reached, in
round numbers, the large sum of $780,
600, an increase Of some $4,000 within
the past six months. Bennington has
reason to feel a laudable pride in the
success attending her savings bank, now
one of the strongest in Vermont.
