dustries, more particularly relating to
the Deerfeld Valley, from the pen of the

have a change in their advertisement in

this sign of prosperity. The space be-
tween the two stores is to be occupied
by cashiers desk and the enlarged
quarters gives ample room to carry a
larger line of clothing and furnishings
than has ever been displayed in Ben
nington. With their guarantee of honest
goods and low prices they are making
the clothing business lively.
THE March number of the Graded
school paper, The Star, is just out. 1t
has full account of the closing exercises
held in the Hall, March Goth, several
very readable essays, letters, etc written
by the pupils and quite an array of
Twinklings. The paper is printed in
smaller type than usual and it
quently contains about third
more matter than heretofore. No
one can read the articles, written by the
children and printed in this paper over
their signatures without feeling that the
'New Education affords a degree of
practical knowledge and culture
unknown in the schools of the past.
The Star may be had at the BANNER
Office and of the editors at two cents a
copy.
The Free Press says it will be well for
Vermont sugar makers who desire to re-
ceive the Government bounty on their
product in 1892 to remember that they
must file their applications between
April and July of the present year.
1t is estimated that there are 10, 900 sugar
makers in Vermont whose annual pro-
duct is about 100000 pounds, equal in
value to 100000 in round numbers,
which represents the sum that the farm
ers of this State will realize from the
bounty. The coming season promises
well for the farmers of this State, but
the year following will be better by just
the sum indicated by the above figures.
LAST year we reviewed at length and
made copious extracts from neat little
publication issued by the Bennington

interest of summer homes for city peo-
pie. This is to be repeated this year as

Herald: Passenger Agent SpaffOrd of
the Bennington and Rutland road is
sending out pamphlets entitled Summer
Homes Among the Green Mountains
The road has done this for the last two
seasons. The pamphlet gives brief de-
scriptions of all the towns on the road,
