The Graded Schools Columbian Exercise

The Graded Schools Columbian Exercises.
The Columbian exercises of the public
schools took place this afternoon, in
Graded School Hall. The hall, which
was filed to overlooking with the stu
dents and their parents, was handsomely
decorated with the National colors.
Here and there were beautiful flags, one
of which had been purchased by each
room, and around their flags were seated
the students. The exercises, which
were opened with a prayer by Rev. NJ. L.
Severance, were carried out as published
in the BANNER of last week. Judge
Carney was unavoidably absent, having
been called to Boston last evening.
The proceedings were of wholly
patriotic nature, and while the exer-
cises were honorary to Columbus, yet
the opportunity was taken to present to
the people an excellent lesson in patriot
ism. The musical part of the programme
was under the direction of Prof. Downs,
and the whole was under the charge
of Prof. Davis, who deserves the credit of
pushing to such successful end these
patriotic exercises.
On the platform were seated the
pastors of the different churches the
school trustees, Mr.. II. 7. Cushman, I'd,
Judge Darling, Hon. A. P. Childs, DR..
E. B. Daley, and other prominent ti-
zens. After the exercises in the hall an
elegant flag was presented to the school
by Col. Olin Scott, and flung to the
breeze from the new flag pole just erect
ed on the lawn.
The Bennington City band was in at
tendance as was also detail from the
Bennington Rifles.

Hill himself well knew. at the time he uttered

opinion.
Since then Dir. Cleveland has undergone no
change. He.has said nothing and done nothing
in the last four years to lessen the confidence
of his fellow-citizens on the contrary. his
words have all been words of wisdom and
he has borne himself throughout. and is now

Famine prevails in Russia. In France also,
