ntetjtl Bt Bennineton Post-Office a Second Matter. Rural Mail Delivery. Rural mail loutes are being established all over the country, and Bennington can very easily secure one if the proper effort is made in that direction. It remains with our people to decide whether they dosire one to be established from here or not. We would like to re ccive expressions of opinions from our citizens on the subject and if they favor the project we will do all that we can to assist in getting it.

The Jrl R.

Hicks 1901 Almanac Whatever may be said of the scientific causes upon which the Rev. Irl R. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of storm and weather, it is a remarkable fact that specific warnings of every great storm, flood, cold wave and drouth, have been plainly printed in this cow famous Almanac for many years. The latest startling proof of this fact was the destruction of Galveston, Texas, on the very day named by Prof. Uicks in his 1900 Almanac, as one of disaster by storm along the gulf coasts.

Tfee 1901 Almanac, by far the finest, most complete and beautiful yet pub lished, is now ready. This re markable book of near two-hun dred pages, splendidly illustrated with charts and half-tone engrav ings, goes as a premium to every subscriber who pays one dollar a year for Prof. Hicks' journal, World and Works. The Almanac alone is sent prepaid for 25c. Older from World and Works Pub lishiucr Company, 2201 Locust 19 Street, St.

Louis, Mo. More Rural Delivery Routes. The farmers and country people of Leavenworth county are to be congratulated on the fact that three new rural delivery routes are to be opened up for their benefit within a lew weens ana two more are probably to be established within a few mouths. Rural delivery for which the farmers have to thank the progressive administration of the Republican party is beinj. rapidly extended not only in Kansas but all over the country.

It is not only in a material' sense most profitable and convenient fo the agricultural communities, adding to the comtort and enjoyment of life, but it is a great civilizing agent. It will enhance the value of farm lauds and euable the farmer to keep iu daily touch with the state of the market and ho noII hU produce to betW advantage.

Iletetolore, the residents of the cities have had access to all thee advantages; now it is a matter of satisfaction that the farming community can come in for its share.

October 31st was passed in Bennington. The little city has just cause to be proud of her schools. They are in excellent condition. Unfortunately, Miss Mayme Tart was absent from No. 2 on account of sickness.

Mr, Truitt Hatfield successfully managed the room for one week and then Mrs. A. F. Setter was secured. The work is going on smoothly, but all hope for Miss Tart's speedy recovery.

We noticed a language exercise in the primary that might be used to advantage in other schools.

It had all the interest of a puzzle for the little fellows. Miss Eacker in Messenger. Always Make Love to your wife.
