AT the Canton meeting last Monday
the regular nights of meeting were

by this organization at the prospect of a
fine drill room in the Opera House block
when completed.
THE sons of Lemuel Bottum, who live
on the Stock farm south of this village,
captured an old coon and two young
ones one day recently. They evidently
did not know the toothsomeness of
"coon," for the meat of the old one was
thrown to the hogs, saving the young
coons for future disposal These lively
little fellows dug ont of their confine-
ment during the night and so the result
of the coon hunt inventories one skin.
SOME people think that all of the mills
here will increase their business very
much in the near future, and conse-
quently will require more room, making
it necessity to build on additions. If
this comes about, as is probable with
HarrisoE's reelection, large number of
dwellings will have to be built to accom-
modate the new help that will come in
from out of town. This increase of
manufacturing is what is wanted to give
us confined boom.
JUST how the State bank system, to
which the Democrats would have us re-
turn, used to operate in the exchange
between States is well illustrated in the
experience of Boston banker as related
to the writer. Said he: at was COM
lOI mt III years pIGNlOuS
to 1860 to sell bank bills of the Beverly,
Mass, Bank in Chicago for $1.15 on the
dollar and then to purchase Wisconsin
Bank bills for half of their face value
for disbursement in that State. That
was common proceeding"

visited here, returning to Boston. Mon
day. Miss Norton speaks before ladies'
clubs and has fine programme of adj
dresses, and we understand that the
Fortnightly of this village hope to engage
this talented young lecturer for one of
her fine addresses during the coming
season.
EVERY school should celebrate Column
bus Day, Oct. 21st. The raising and
saluting the American flag is made a
prominent feature of the programme,
which viii be found in full in another
column of this paper. Many school
districts have their flags already, and
those who lack one should have it, and
now is a good opportunity to get one.
The Bennington Graded schools will
celebrate, but their flag may be seen
floating from its staff on all public days.
This school we believe to have been the
first to fling "old glory to the breeze, las
far back as 1874.
