Owing to the dry condition of Bennington four of our young men went to Calhoun Monday evening and incidentally attended the dance at that place. They certainly found the moisture in the form of a soaking rain and also a frost. 

After several weeks of limping around Rev. Brooks reports that he is again in good walking trim and will put in an appearance at Bennington next Sunday morning. Services at usual hours. The place will be announced after his arrival.

 Quite a little excitement was created Tuesday evening by a cry of robbers being raised by Mrs. Cunningham. Hearing some kind of noise on the stairway of her house and thinking of burglars she cried out for help and in five minutes the entire population of the town was on the scene. No one was seen entering or leaving the house and nothing was stolen.

 The Fourth of July celebration under the auspices of citizens of Bennington was complete success. Cloudy and threatening weather kept the crowd back until a late hour in the afternoon. Although it was a wide open unsafe and insane Fourth but few accidents were reported and those of trivial character. One accident, which was the result of trying to be smart, might have resulted seriously. After having some minor injuries dressed by a physician Adolf Kurth fell off the curb in front of the drugstore, dislocating his jaw and other wise cutting and bruising himself, which put him entirely out of commission. Other than this the celebration passed off very nicely.
