1t had been more than year since
the Editor of the News visited James

with the good people of Russell coun-
ty, but the warm greetings, the
friendly hand shake and the kindly
expressions Of welcome, making him
feel at home-among no better Ken

business men of Russell county have

it started, twenty-three years ago

Upon this visit which was necessarily
cut short, we failed to see many of

was impossible for US to see them all
in visit lasting only few hours.
The many we did meet, however, re-
newed their subscriptions, and quite
a number OF new names were added
to our list. We are also indebted to
those who gave us job-work which
will be executed promptly aud deliV'

Bennington high school Saturday af-

high school team on the Will.amstown
field by score Of 1S to Z. 1t was
a hard fought contest that kept the
spectators interested up to the final
whistle blast.
Bennington kicked Off to Williams
town. The college town boys tried
to rush the ball without success and
they were forced to punt. Sumner
received the punt and ran the ball
back to his own forty yard line At
this point occurred one of the pret-
tiest plays of the game. Sumner tos-
sed long forward pass to Cushman
and the speedy little end outfootea
the entire Williamstown team for the
first score of the game, Sumner
kicked the goal.

time, Cushman crossed the goal line.

was necessary to take the ball over.
