William J. Hicks returned Friday
evening from Weston with a doe.
Ned Eddy got small buck a short
distance out from North Bennington
on the SALISBURY road.
Three Millington boys living in
White Greek each got deer The
elder boy came into the village be
fore the season opened and purchased
a red sweater at Coles store to wear
in the woods He was the first to
make successful shot. Upon his re-
turn the second oldest brother insist
ed that the red sweater was lucky
and he, too, wanted to wear the gar
ment into the woods. Brother No. 4
soon returned with a deer and the
youngstor of the family. a lad of IL,
begged to be allowed to take the gar.
ment The older brothers did not
take kindly to the request but the boy
persisted and got the sweater. He al
so got a deer and now the three in

sible for the deer.
Fortunately there have been no ac-
cidents in this vicinity, There have
been one or two narrow escapes. how

within three feet of a hunter and lod

bert Hill OF Bennington were lying
on the bunk in a cabin in the Dun

long distance away, for they distinct

through the building and directly over
them.
George Burgess shot at deer with
single shot rifle and missed. The
deer stood watching him long enough
to have been killed several times but
George was fumbling in his pockets
for the cartridges which he finally
found in his inside vest pocket
If hunters who went to the wilds
of Searsburg and vicinity had been on
Park street Friday evening they could
have easily secured a deer. One
passed through the back yards on
Park street and going up Gage to SAT-
ford street, made its way south tow

Basis of Reasonable Unity

Basis Of Reasonable Unity
Hartford, Conn, Oct. 29.-At the
closing exercises here yesterday of
the Episcopal missionary conference
of New England. which has been in
session several days in Trinity
Church parish house Bishop Hall of
Vermont electrified his auditors by
proposing a union of the Congrega-
tional and Episcopalian churches in
one catholic and apostolic faith.
Following Dr. Hall many earnest
speakers attested their hearty enthu-
saism over the proposed amalgama-
ton and it was decided to arrange
conferences at many points through
out New England to consider the pro-
position and by getting local opinions
In various places to ascertain if the
idea is feasible and likely 10 succeed
The Episcopalians who departed
for their homes last night are almost
unanimous in the belief that the
question will be near adjustment be
fore their next meeting. Bishop
Halls address will be published in all
the journals of the Episcopalian de-
nomination
Bishop Hall said that religion must
have definite meaning for people
who are fast falling away from the
churches, and to obviate this it would
be necessary to unite under one
creed and do everything possible to
bring in other denominations rather
than lose valuable contribution by
permitting separate sects to exist
The other speakers agreed that the
matter was one of contribution-of
how much a given church might con
tribute toward a new catholic faith,
and not how much it might keep of
its old belief
In most cases there is no definite
faith at all said Dr. Hall, and my
idea will result in a revival OF the
endeayor of Christians TO unite on
Just the one thing set up by the apos-
lies of Christ as his creed. The
Episcopal church stands ready to give
its thirty-nine articles of religion and
is willing to give up its name of
Episcopal and to sink its identity
in return for truth, simple and def
mite"
