Bennington semi-weekly banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 1894-1902, 1894-05-01


THE chapel bell at the Soldiers Home
will ring every week day at IL AS a. m
during the summer.
AN exchange says that whaling has
gone out, but whether an industry Of
the north seas is meant OF that of the
country school house, does not appear
THE price of the SEMI WEEKLY BAN
NER is two cents per copy. To sub
scribers the price is the same, $1.50 pei
year, and there is no difference in the
clubbing rates.
WE notice that H. w. Scott has been
shipping, to-day, a number of his fulline
mills, the hest in the world. This would
indicate that there is little business
done even in these hard times.
THE Eagle Square Company of South
SALISBURY have secured the contract to
build the addition to the Soldiers Home
hospital and will commence it imme-
diately. 1t will contain extra rooms exc,
and extend north about midway of the
lEpresent building.
NOM CONE, while putting in sewer
pipe, was severely injured on the head
while bending down to adjust some
pipe, by lot of stone falling on. him.
His head was cut in several places, and
it was some time before he recovered
consciousness.
BISHOP HALL, in response to an invit-
alton to be here three days of this week,
and to preach for the Knights Templars
Ascension Day, writes that he is engaged
until July LIST, and regrets he cannot
como. He will, however, visit ST..
Peters later in the season, of which due
notice will be given.
DIR. F. W. GooDALL's condition con-
tinues to improve and he is able to sit up
a portion of each day. This will be
good news, not only to his friends here,
but to people in the northeast part of
Vermont, where he formerly resided.
and enjoyed large practise.
THE new hymnal of the Episcopal
church, will come into general use in st.
Peters church, this village, commence
ing next week. We are inclined to think
that our people prefer, for the musical
hymnal, that of DR.. G. L. Hutchins.
Both the Tucker and Hutchins have
heretofore been in use.
JOSEPH DANIELS, late sergeant Co.
K, End Vermont regiment and Serrill
Brusenn, late Co. A, 9Th Vermont, have
been dismissed from the Soldiers Home
for repeated drunkenness. 1t is pity
that the old veterans of the Home are
able to buy whiskey in town with so
little trouble, that discipline of this kind
becomes necessary.
On Friday afternoon, May 4th, at
o'clock, Miss Sheldon, graduate from
the Emerson College of Oratory, will be
glad to meet at the rooms of the Young
Womens Club, all who are interested in
physical culture. AS Miss Sheldon de-
sires to form a class in physical culture,
she will explain her work and give some
of her exercises.
OUR readers should remember that the
clubbing rates of the Weekly Tribune
with the SEMI-WEEKLY BANNER are
$1.50 per year, and that person with
this combination has almost library of
current literature at command. The two
pages of market reports in the Tribune,
especially, is worth more than the COM
bination costs, while the opportunity to
get all the local news twice each week is
something desirable.

Troy Press, gives the following: "Warm
waves will cross the Western mountains
about April 9th and May ind, the great

4th, and the Eastern States about May
LIST and 9th. Cool waves will cross the
Western mountains about April Both and
May 5th, the great central valleys about
May 2nd and 7th, and the Eastern States
about May 4th and 9th. May will aver
age warmer than usual. The first half
will average moro above the normal tenn
perature than the last half. Rainfall of
the month will be about the general

the Eastern States, except within 200
miles east of the Rocky Mountains,
where rainfall will be below the general
average. Most rain will fall during the
last half of the month. The hottest
weather will occur in front of the storm
S<ave that will cross the continent from
theA9th to the 18th, moving eastward"
