BENNINGTON NEEDS A HALL

date of the elections has been moved
from September to November it is

lies in this state The weather man
has favored the speakers during the
present month aud there have been
some open-air addresses by the diff
ferent candidates and other speakers
but We all know from experience that
weather conditions such as have pre-
vailed during October, 1914. are not
usual in Vermont Two years hence
it may be impossible to speak out of
doors in October and certainly not in
the evening.
While Vermonters are good patrons
OF the newspapers. nevertheless
many of them form their opinions of
political issues and policies to
large degree from the arguments
that are presented to them by the
speakers during the campaigns. Take
for instance. such an address as was
delivered by Senator Dillingham; al

The address was largely made up OF
facts and arguments. 1t was an ab

Some thief or thieves have been making raids on various private stables for the past month. Among the losers were Geo. P. Taylor, Russell Graham A lderson & Co., and others. No clue could be had of the thieves
 Last Friday night, however, the Standard Oil Co.'S stables were raid ed and some fine harness taken The agent hearing that Mir. Simpson, of Tennessee, was at Brinkey with his trained trail hounds" word was sent to him, and on Saturday he ar rived with his dogs. The dogs were taken to the stable, where the tracks were very plain. The trail was fol. lowed faithfully through the country and finally lost on the public road. The thief is still at large and the har- ness has not been recovered

Old Score Settled.

At special meeting of the city council held on "Wednesday night the matter of the old note held by the Forrest City Manufacturing Co, against the City of Forrest City for 4,O60 IS, was finally settled City scrip was issued in 1908 as collateral security on this note, but in some msnner the note was lost and the city councils of each succeeding admins tration had refused to pay it off until the note was presented. At the meet. ing Wednesday night. representatives of the Forrest City Manufacturipp Co, and the First National Bank of Forrest City, through Attorney S. H. S, II. Mann, agreed to indemnify the city with a good and sufficient bond against the appearance of the note in the future. Upon this basis what has been a "bone of contention in the city council for a number of years was settled and the board agreed to accept the scrip issued as collateral on the S4 100000 note to the Forrest City Manufacturing Co, in it's annual settlement with the county.
