Durham county schools that
have opened and are in full blast
for the fall term Of 1903 show
that there is an increase in the
number of school children attend
ing school in Durham county this
fall.
In the county schools there are
1856 whites and 2.228 colored
children, and the city schools
have 8,253 colored. The grand
total is therefore 1888 as com
pared with 10. 1853 the preceding
year.
The gains have been largely
among the schools Of East and
West Durham. 1S9 being report
ed in the city departments.
This is a clear difference of 4S5
in favor Of the census Of this
year. Mangum township shows
a gain OF about GO children and
Oak Grove holds its own. but the
general tendency Of the country
districts is towards a falling off
and the city and the suburban
schools are saving theattendance.
Interesting likewise in these
satisfies is the illiterate feature.
These as returned show that
there are 73 whites and lis Of
enool age who cannot read or
rIte II dosen't mean Of course
that there are only l9i persons
III Durham who cannot read and
write, but cnly that number who
are permitted to 20 to school and

The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1909-01-07

The signing by Governor Prouty of
the bill providing for the construction
of new court house and Jail at Ben
nington and the repairs of the build
ing used for similar purposes at Man
chester concludes the legislative Dor.
ton of this project. The referendum
feature of the measure gives every
voter in the county an opportunity
for an expression of opinion in the
matter at the coming March election.
1t is therefore, to use an expression of
the street, up to the people" to de-
eide whether or not existing condi-
tons which have been condemned by
grand jury after grand jury should be
remedied. The general unftness of the
present county building cannot be
denied, the worst feature being the
Jail in which confinement, because of
the msanitary arrangements, the lack
of sunlight and opportunity for exer-
else, is almost unhuman. The Ban
ner believes that there is sufficient
public spirit and pride in the county
to complete the work begun by the
legislature. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that during the time that must elapse
between the present and the annual
town meetings whatever opposition to
the prospal may exist, will in a large
measure disappear and that the en-
dorsement at the polls will be en-
phatic and united.

HUNDRED YEARS in BUSINESS
Hannibal Green's Son q Co, Round.
ing Out a Century

The present year marks the happy
termination OF an entire century OF
business in unbrOken succession and
the suspicious beginning Of second
century. for the firm OF Hannibal
Green's Son & Co, and their unfurled
flag proclaims the important fact --
This business was originally estab-
lished by Jacob Hart and Henry NazroH
in 1893, under the firm name Of Hart
& Nazro at No. Lanes Row, on the
east side Of River street, near the
south end of the site, of the present.
Hall building. The great fire OF 1920
practically destroyed their stock
New buildings were constructed and
business was resumed at No. Lanes
Row. The firm continued there until
1921 when Mr. Hart withdrew and Mr..
NazrO formed partnership with HenA
ry ]. Curtis under the firm name OF
Nazro & Curtis, opening a new store
two doors south of Southwick, Cam
non & Warrens, on River street and
continuing until 1927. In that year
Mr.. Curtis retired and Henry Nazro
continued the business alone, at PIG
River street, until 1899, at which time.
he formed a copartnership with A. Al
Thurber and Hannibal Green, under
the firm name of Nazro, Thurber &
Green. That existed until 1884, and
was succeeded in direct line by Nazro
& Green, 1884 to 1898, Green & Cram
er George H. 1888 to 1852, Hannibal
Green 1852 to 1875 and Hannibal
Green's Son & Co. from 1875 to the,
present time. The great onfagration
of 1920 referred to, which destroyed
most Of the business portion Of the
city, was the only fire which any Of
these firms ever had.
Edward N. Green, senior partner OF
the present firm, is a son of the late
Hannibal Green, a former highly re-
spected proprietor of the business,
well and favorably known at home
and abroad.
William NJ. Sanford, junior member
and general manager OF the concern,
is so widely known to business circles
of the United States that any introduc-
ton here would seem superfluous. Suf-
fee it to say that the SO years Of life
which he has devoted to the interests
I of the business constitute garland
of industrious toll and well deserved
| success.
The business is now conducted in
the building erected by Hannibal
Green in 1855 and occupied by him In
December of that year This was the
/ first warehouse erected on Broadway,
