THIS historic towns western name
sake has 'fallen from financial grace"
Witness the following despatch from
Topeka, Kansas, under date of May 30:
"Cyrus Corning, Populist, proposes to do
away wi h money. His plan is to estab-
lish exchanges In different parts of the
State, where the purchaser can trade
whatever commodity he has for what
ever he wants in the stores stock, or can
take checks, which will be honored at
any of the exchanges. The farmer can
also deposit his money with the ex-
change, and checks will be loaned, Sc
cur.d by 60 lateral, without interest.
Such an exchange has already been es-
second one will soon be in operation at
Topeka. The exchange at Bennington
has in stock $1,000 worth of goods" Our
namesake will get sick of this before six
months has passed, and we will bet a
new hat on it.
SINCE our item ON "change of time"
was in type, we learn that another time
card 20 INTO effect next Sunday on the
Fitchburg and B. & r. railways. By it
the flyer north will leave at 2.20 p. m.
and the flyer south at 3.05, virtually re-
storing the former time, except that the
northern train will leave few minutes
later than during the winter. The Leb-
anon Springs also changes. Ii will run a
train to the Junction, sleavihg here
at 2.25 10 connect with the Boston Elk
press, and return At 3.35ss~This train
has been RUNNING at 3, 30 and arriving
at 4.40 p. m. The morning train leaves
at S.25. and the evening at $40 (nstead
of 5.45), making close connections east.
BY the 2.25 train one gets east just as
soon as via HOosac Junction at 1926 p.
m, and arrives in Springfield, Mass,
early in the evening, besides making
other good connections. 49,
THE Troy Times, referring to the
death of Mrs.. Uel NJ. Robinson, says
1.-THE deceased was the oldest resident
living in Bennington who was born there
having been born October %, 1798 Only
two older persons now living were born
in Bennington: Mrs. Emily Hyde Grin
nell of Georgia and Mrs. Sophia Wal.
bridge Winnie of Albany. Mrs. Robin
son was descended from a long-liyed fam
lily, and at a reunion few years age
there were present six whose average
age was eighty-six years. Her husband
who was a lawyer and died many years
ago, was cousin of Col. Samuel Robin
son of Benniugton-battle fame. She
had been in fair health for her age buI
the sudden death of her son. Judge
Alfred Robinson during the hurricane
of April 20, is supposed to have con
tributed largely to her deaf death.n The
last sentence is incorrect. There was q
general breaking down of the vita
powers of life. -, "r
THE Hon. John V. Carney was, by the
statute passed at the last legislature,
made special commissioner to super
wise the repairs upon the Bennington
Court house. That body made an apprO
priatiou of $1,000, which is now being
expended. When the whole is com
plett d Judge G, rney will have accom-
plished great work towards renewing
the S0unty building. In the first place
the court room proper is have a new
steel ceiling manufactured by the K n
nears Company of Columbus, Ohio. Thii
elegant and durable ceiling, elabUratcC
with centre pieces and panels will set of
the new decorations of the walls, so tina
it will become the finest court room II
Vermont. This work is well advanced
The structure il to have a new roof b
American thin fact all the stock Is o
American manufacture. The othe
rooms of the Court house, the { ffices, etc.
are to be redecorated, and renewed
This is proposal that has long beer
under contemplation and much needed
Our people will scarcely recognize tn
old Court house interior when they com
up to the December term of court.
