THE Bennington BANNER in its last
issue devotes on-half column to a roast
upon G. w. Oman of Los BanOs, Cal. 1t
claims that Oman is fraud in all his
belongings, that he has taken the BAN
NER for many years, and now refuses to
pay. The BANNER should send one hun
bred marked copies of this roast to
the town where Oman is principal of a
school. A man that will take a paper
from the Office for years, and then re-
fuse to pay, deserves to be shown up as
the arrant knave that he is.-Poultney
Journal.
THE entertainment at Free Library
Hall Tuesday night, is sure to be de-
cided success. 1t is not often that the
people of Bennington have the opportu-
nifty to see so accomplished a magician
as is Mr.. Jewett He is the friend and
associate of Hermann & Keller and his
collection of tricks is pronounced by
them to be as fine as any in the world. A
New York paper which deVotes particu-
lar attention to magicians, reviews the
career of Mr.. Jewett in its May issue and
predicts that he is the coming star"
among magicians. To see Jewett alone
is surely we'll worth the price of admis.
sion, so it is not surprising that the peo-
pie have already shown much interest in
the coming entertainment since it af-
fords them the opportunity TO hear Mrs.
Rushmore as well. The Y. NJ. G. A. Or
chestra is practiCing faithfully and will
add not little interest to the pro-
gramme. 1t is very probable that
special train will be run from North Ben
nington.
