The Crime Oft.

The BANNER believes that Superin-
tendent Davis has made our schools the
best the place has ever known. This is
the opinion of our teachers, who are sec
ond to none in the State. There is no
thing in Mr.. Davis's work for which he
should be turned down. but everything
in it to make him worthy of every mans
support. His enemies, however, have
been bound to drive him out of the school.
Finding it impossible to do this on the
ground of poor work, they have secretly
circulated destinations not only against
him, but against the reputation of our
teachers Such work constitutes black
and damnable crime against the good
name of every man and woman in this
place. If one can be broken down by
such helnous methods, so can any man
or any woman be destroyed
Not only in the name of those basely
wronged, but for the social safety of the
community, and particularly for the pun
ishment of the criminals engaged in
sporting with the names of good men
and pure women, we challenge proof of
the statements made against these peo-
pie Is not this a fair demand?
The BANNER stands for no man in this
matter and for no set of men. 1t stands
for truth and justice. We believe we
have a right to ask thinking citizens to
unite with us against those who for
years past have borne false witness
against their neighbors. TO this end
and to the end that fair. minded. candid
men may say with us that justice shall
he done, we ask for satisfactory proof
that the slanderous statements circulated
against Mr.. Davis and some of our teach
ers are true. If the statements referred
to are true the BANNER wishes to know
it. If not true the BANNER wants to
known what the people think about the
wrong that has been done.

SERVICES in the Methodist church Sun
day will be held at the usual hours.
morning subject: 'Our Lords Agony in
Gethsemane. Evening: The Gospel,
What is it?'
j. j. CURTIS, general agent of the
American Book Company, temporarily
stationed at Rutland, and who is now
canvassing Vermont in the interest of
the firm, says: that he has talked with
the principal educators in five leading
counties in regard to the ability of Prof.
Davis of the Bennington Graded schools.
The universal testimony of these men is
that he has brought our schools up to a
point that is equal to if not superior to
any school in the State. And that they
could not work Prof. Davis's methods
with one half the success that he does.
This is in all respects an unpreiudiced
testimonial.
THE one hundredth annual meeting of
the general convention of Congregation.
al ministers and churches of Vermont
will be held in the Old First Church at
Bennington Centre in June. The con
vention sermon will probably be de
livered by the Rev. Henry Fairbanks of
st. JOhnsbury, the substitute being the
Rev. Chas. H. Merrill of the same place.
The reports to be presented to the con-
vention will show an unusually prosper
GUS year with gains everywhere, except
in benevolent contributions. These will
show a slight decrease over the year be-
fore. The number of churches, 2O3, is
the largest ever reported. The member
ship, q, l34, is the largest sine 1913. Spec
ial care has been taken in the revision of
the rolls of the churches, and the num-
Der of removals by discipline was unusu-
ALLY large during the year. During the
year the net gain of members was 1853,
which has been exceeded but three times
in fifty years. Among the oldest mem
bers of the convention are the Rev. JO-
Siah B. Clark, now residing in Ellis,
Mass, who was ordained in December,
1888, and the Rev. Parsons S. Pratt, who
was ordained in lS47, and who in May
will complete the thirty eighth year of
his pastorate over the Congregational
Church in Dorset, the longest continuous
one in the State. Both men are mem
bers of the Bennington county assoca-
ton, the former being retired from ac-
tive service.

both mines were in attendance. 1t was
gala day, for there is a rivalry between
the employees of the two hotels. Level

sympathies are with the Grand. The Deni-

The spectators differ as TO just how the
fight began or who struck the first blow.
Some say Robinson struck Level and the
latter drew his knife, ,whereat Robinson
struck him with ball bat. Some say
Level went at Robinson with a knife, while
others say Level simply ordered Robinson
to the bench. Any way, Robinson swung

. Prominent German.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1S.-An international
event, the most notable of its kind
socially that has ever taken place in st.
Louis, was celebrated at 2 p. m. at the
Church of the Messiah, corner of Gar
rison avenue and Locust street. 1t was
the marriage Of Miss Clara Hazel
Busch, daughter of Adolphus Busch,
the brewer, and Herr Paul Won Con-
tard, prominent citizen Of Germany.
The beauty Of the bride, the wealth Of
her father, the station of the groom and
the magnifcence Of the wedding ar
rangements made the affair one long to
be remembered. Rev. DIR. Snyder,
pastor of the Church of the Messiah,
performed the ceremony.
1t is estimated that the wedding ar
rangements cost Mr. Busch fully $780,.
600. The wedding gifts were numer.
Gus and costly.
