THE fashion shows signs of coming in
of addressing and stamping envelopes on
the back, in which case, it is assumed,
any tampering with the contents could
be more readily detected.
THE morning freight train from here
to Rutland and return, that was temper
arily Withdrawn few weeks ago, began
running again Monday, the business of
the road being on the increase.
C. B. SURLEY, the Free Library cloth
| Ter, is having great sale of summer
clothing-in fact he can hardly keep up
with the demand in some popular lines.
The reason is shown when prices are
considered.
WHEN it comes to clothing the one
price spot cash store of G. G. Cole, is a
| good place to call at, and we commend
| the Opera House clothing store as one
of the places to have on your list when
you come TO town.

SOME merchants say they cannot af-
ford to advertise. They mistake. They
cannot afford not to advertise. Every.
body reads newspapers. Hence they
are the best medium through which to
reach the public. Use the columns of
the favorite home paper, the SEMI
WEEKLY BANNER.
WE would suggest to the Water Com
pany that when it is necessary to shut
the water off from large portion of the
village, as was done Sunday, that some
notice be given to their patrons, so that
q supply can be drawn, and not compel
them to go without for several hours, as
was the case Sunday. 1t is customary
in other places to give such notices.

THE Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire boundary line commissioners met
at Brattleboro, last week, with Col. Kit
tredge Haskins and Judge L. NJ. Reed of
the Vermont commission, and Prof. Bar
Der, the engineer who ran the line for
them, and this morning they have gone
down to South Vernon to establish the
corner for the three States. They prac-
tically agree that the Hazen survey of
1741 was erroneous and that if it had
been run correctly it would have given
the whole of Mortified to New Hamp-
shire and altered the line east and west
accordingly for both Vermont and New
Hampshire, but they seem to agree also
that it is not advisable to disturb the
line of of occupancy that has existed for
a century and half. They will report
these facts and conclusions to their re-
spective legislatures for suitable action.
There might be quite complication if
some criminal should take refuge in this
strip really belonging to one State where
jurisdiction is claimed by another.
