viii II. Loomis is canvassiug the
town for a daily afternoon newspaper
which will be started by the publisher
OF the Banner and Reformer if sub
sciibers and advertising enough can
be secured to warrant the venture.
So far Mr. Loomis has met with most
remarkable and gratifying success,
receiving scarcely a refusal to sub
scribe among the families in town that
he has visited.
1t is of course evident to anybody
that in order to make daily sue
cess the people must give it unanimous
support at the outset. If the people
want it, now is the time to get Z. and
we request all who are willing to sub
scribe to give their names e Mr. LOO
mis- when he calls.
The subscription price is July Is
cents per month to be paid afler the
first issue, which will be about March
], If present plans are carried out,
AT the outset daily paper will of
necessity be an experiment, but once
under way we are confident that the
people OF Bennington county would be
glad to have it and proud to give it
cordial and hearty support.

We do a great deal of boasting
about this suit, for it is the kind
Of suit that will stand praise. It
is the kind of suit that will stand
the most severe test that the
most strenuous boy can put it to.
The building Of these suits is di-
rected by men who understand
the construction Of boys suits
not by dressmakers.
To say that every seam is
sewed with silk thread a and
taped; that the trousers are re-
inforced with large double seat
and double knee, would give you
only a partial idea of its ex-
cellence. The wearing quality in
the Plymouth Special SIS suit

PLYMOUTH ROCK IN DANGER.

people CT Provincetown and the Cape

pose not only to erect Il large stone
monument upon the spot where first
they trOd,' with beacon light upon
it, which will shine thirty miles out to
sea- but to have the histories revised 50
that they truthfully shall show that the
Pilgrims did not land first on Plymouth
Rock, but upon Provincetown Rock,
and that twas in ProVincetoWn harbor
that the Maytiower found safe haven.
and in that harbor the famous 'com :
pact was drawn up. Probably if there
We're inhabitants on Clarks Island they.
too. would put in a prior claim and "a
Clarks Island rock, for it is a matter
of true history that some Pilgrims
landed there also on their way from
ProVincetown to Plymouth
This is not the worst. The Boston
Advertiser goes so far as to intimate
that what is now known as Plymouth
Rock was five miles away from its
present location When the Pilgrims
