turning home few days ago.
THE BANNER Stationery Store is in re.
ceipt of handsome line of photograph
and autograph albums, papeteries, etc.
You should remember that the mill
store is booming, if the advertisement
hasn't been changed for a week or two.
See another column.
WIN. B. SHELDON is quite i'll and con-
fined to his house. Mrs. Sheldon is also
sick. We hope to hear soon of their
convalescence.
JUST our luck. ''GoOds for song" at
Walbridge's and we can't sing. How
ever, some of our readers are better sit
uated and can take advantage of the
bargains offered at the Main street furni-
ture emporium.
How to arrange, dis-arrange, rear
range, in fact any range" whatever may
be learned by reading what Winslow of
Main street has to say in another place
to-day. A call on him will surely ar
range all to your satisfaction.
THE resignation of Secretary Flindt
was quite surprise to our people. I'm
der his management the Y. NJ. c. A. of
our village has become firmly established
and has grown to a high state of eff
cheney. We are not advised as to his
successor.
THE Waldo Emerson Company, who
gave the first entertainment in the Y. NJ.
c. A. course, were greeted by large
audience Monday. The elaborate pro-
gramme was finely carried out. The
next in the course will occur Nov. 10TH
Remember the date.
The BANNER Stationery Store is in re-
ceipt of new stock of photograph and
autograph albums, scrap books, porte
monaies, ink-stands, and other seasonable
articles usually kept by us in stock
Cards and tally-cards for progressive
euchre, ETC., etc.
SEVERAL places about town need fix
ing up to get ready for winter. Unless
several sidewalks are raised and the
street graded so as to let the water run
off freely, there will be trouble before
spring. Isn't the village liable lor dam
ages from water caused by such neglect?
PARTIES intending to order blank
books made to order, for use Jan. 1st,
should do so at once, that they may be
made up few weeks in advance Of the
time wanted for use. They will be all
the better for it. No better blank work
made than is turned out by the BANNER
Bindery.
THE postotfice boxes about town have
been painted red. We notice that this
seems to be favorite color with the
postfice authorities as the boxes of st.
Adams and several other towns have
been painted red also. This color can
be seen in the night time letter than
green-the displaced paint.
IF some one will kindly break leg, or
otherwise severely injure himself while
attempting to walk from the corner to
the railroad on either side of the street,
it is possible that the trustees will then
wake up and see that the two patches of
sidewalk on West Main street are raised
to grade. 1t would break snakes back
to attempt to crawl over it.
THE pratt" homestead, owned by DR..
C. G.. r. Jennings for few years, has
been purchased by A. X. Richie as a
site for business block. In the trade
the "Chandler'' property is traded, that
was purchased by Mr.. Richie some
time ago. We learn that building will
begin in the spring, the present house to
be moved to face Union street.
HOWARD c. FIsKE of Melrose, Mass,
son of Wilbur D. Fiske Whom some of
our local readers will remember), was in
town yesterday. He made collection
of Bennington Centennial views and
brochures. He represents Knowles
Steam Pump works of Boston, and sold
the Lasher Stocking Company pump,
to put into their new mill in connection
with the Sprinkler system of fire pro-
lection.

THE annual meeting of the non-parti-
san w. c. T. L. was held in Waterbury
this week. Miss A, G.. Park presided
Misses Morgan and Hutchinson of this
village delivered the papers announced
last week. 1t was voted not to retain
the name, Comparison Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union" but to take a
name the national convention may adopt
Miss Anna c. Park in her address de-
described the Kelley cure for drunken
ness. The paper of Mrs. j. c. Houghton
of Middlebury tended to show how the
old organization of the w. G. T. U. is
distinctly partisan, but also its mistake
