Mr. Stonewas either born in Benning-

baby and his boyhood was spent
here. With his younger brother,
"Den," he left here in 1888 at the age
of 10 to join a circus, both boys hav-
ing become proficient in various feats.
The night before the boys left, hey
were given supper at the old Fnnk-
lin House which stood where h Pat
nam House now is
After an absence of % years ormore
and after he had become famou, as a
circus performer, Mr. Stone returned
here and spent one or more winters,
He had with him his trained horses
and kept them in practicein a building
standing where Olin Scott's shop is
now located.
Since he retired from the ring per-
manently, 30 years ago, Mr. Stoue has
visited several times in Bennington.
He was an uncle of Mrs A, S. NJ.
Chisholm. His boyhood home was in
house standing on the site of c. w.

SURVEY FOR
NEW ROAD
That is to Connect Bennington
With North Adams.
SURVEY IS COMPLETED.
Plan is to Enter This Village by Way OF South
Street But Not to Follow
the Highway.

Four civil engineers from Spring
field Mass, Burton Wiliston, w. S.
Durkee, George Sackett and William
johnson have been making the Put
nam their headquarters for several
days, The party has been engaged in
the preliminary surveys for the pro-
posed Bennington and North Adams
electric railroad The survey was
commenced at Wilhamstown, to which
village road already runs, and which
will be united with the new one.
According to the survey the distance
from here to Williamstown is 13 Ia
miles. According to the surveys the
road will not cross the Hoosick river
at all, neither will it follow the high
way. 1t will run so near the river
however in some places that piles will
have to be driven, and it will cross the
highway in several places The steep
est grade encountered was between
South Pownal and Pownal Center, it
being a rise OF five feet in each hun
dred.
According to the surveys the road
will enter the village near the resi-
dence of Isaac Pratt. 1t is intended
to run it in the rear of the residences
until Elm street is reached through
which it viii come, striking South
street near Brant's blacksmith shop,
then running to the projected terminus
which viii be at the Putnam house.
Here connections will be made with the
Bennington and Hoosick Falls electric
railroad.
A survey is also being made to have
the entrance to the village near the
Cooper Manufacturing company in the
eastern part OF the village, but the
superintendent thinks that the promo
ters will accept the first route in pre-
ference to the other.
1t Is expected that the surveys for
the levels and cross roads will be
completed this week when the plans
will be drawn.
1t is not expected that anything will
be done towards constructing the road
this year only to arrange preliminar-
les and secure rights of way. Accord
ing to the measurements made by the
surveyors the distance between here
and North Adams is a little less than
Is Smiles.
Mr. Durkee the foreman says that
electric roads of the future viii not be
built in the highways, the principal
reason being that it is much cheaper
to maintain them when not in The road

HOSPITAL WARD NEEDED.
oversssr Of the Poor Offers Suggestion For
Coming Town Meeting.

Mr. Editor:
A few words Of explanation to the
tax payers of Bennington.
Bennington hasa trim farm of $50
acres more or less in first class culti-
vation, also a farm house with al
modern Improvements Including rum
ming water, steam heat, bath room,
closets, etc, with excellent sewerage.
In fact we have a home for the poor to
be proud of, but nevertheless it has
been apparent to me as overseer ct the
poor and must be to others who are
familier with the facts of the case that
it would be matter of but short
time when we would have to enlarge
the building for the growing needs of
the town.
The house at present contains l3
small sleeping rooms two of which are
located in the attic and with 13 inmates
you can see the room is limited and
the house is taxed to its full capacity.
We have besides several other outside
charges who are wholly or partially
taken care of by the town. Some OF
these are sick others old and intirm.
Therefor would beg to offer sug-
gestion that if the ta. payers vote to
enlarge the capacity of the poor house
at the coming town meeting, they fur
nish one large room on the ground
floor suitable for hospital ward of
six cots capacity, three on a side for
the accommodation of the inmates of the
house or available at any time for
outside town charges. The sick then
win be away from the other inmates
and be concentrated together for
easier and better treatment.

Victory VictOTyl
One two three.

The Bennington Baseball Club met
the Green Mountain Boys of Fart Ar
lington on the Flatiron Saturday and
easily defeated them. This is the
third victory out Of four games play
ed by the locals.
After the first inning the Benning-
tons shut out the visitors easily for
the next six inniugs, allowing them
one run in the eight and two in the
ninth in order as they said to make
the score look better.
The addition to the team of Cray at
second base and of Welsh in right
field proved good team tonic. Both
are from Bellows Falls and are en-
ployed here by the Coy Babcock Pa
per Co. The home team batted well
at all times and gave the pitcher ex-
cellent support.
Manager Barnes is to be congratu-
lated upon the orderly way in which
the games are conducted and the team
has the support Of all lovers OF good
baseball in town. Two more games
are booked with Hoosick Falls, one of
which is to be played on the local
grounds. A challenge has been sent
to the Olympics of North Bennington
and several other first class teams.

These photographs promise to be the
best work of the kind ever yet offered
in town. They have been taken re-
Gently by the same artist whose work
in other parts of New England was
recently on exhibition at the Old
Academy. The exhibition just held
attracted much attention and interest
because of variety and excellence of
the work. There were in the collect
ion many pictures which have recently
appeared in the magazines.
