All this week these examinations, covering the work of the past few months since Septem ber, have been given in place of the third six-week examinations.

GRAMTEVILLE Teachers in Barre Town Get $i Per Week Raise, Beginning Dec. i. A petition for an increase in salaries and signed by the teachers of Barre Town was presented to the school board last month. On Jan. 1, the members of the school board held a meeting, and as a result of this meeting the teachers in town have been given a raise of one dollar a week, beginning on Iec. 1, making an increase in teachers' sal aries of $24 for the school year. This is not much by way of a raise, and the teacheTS are hoping something better can bo offered after the March meet ing of the voters of Barre Town. John Smith, who has been confined to bis home with grip, is making a rapid recovery. Mr. Smith hopes to be able to resume his duties at the K. L. Smith quarry next week. Mrs. 1).

The account was opened in March, lOLi, Biid the account was apparent Jan. i, 1917. It Was closed at different times, including Sept. Li. l!I5, Oct. 27, 1015, June 1.1, 101(1, July 3. July 14, July 20, lOlti. 'Mr. Stickney is president of this bank and he inquired at some length about the Graham balance ami the closing of an account. Mr. Perkins was asked lo testify about the deposit slips but objection was made because the question called for a conclusion, so the question was not permitted. m ' Mr. Stickney offered a concession that all these checks could be admitted as allowing that Mr. Graham did his busi ness through that bank in part and that they were the orders handled in the regular routine of business. He did not see why it was necessary to go through the acceptance of each order, for the orders showed for themselves, there being no question about their collection at the bank. He was willing to admit the concession trt help along the work because "it had been slow enough," he said. He was not offering the state suggestions as to how lo pre yent its casij lint saw no need of follow ing every order through the banks, for Mr. Graham banked them and had the avails of them. Mr. Barber tried to have it conceded that the avails went tit Mr. Graham's personal use, which was denied. One of the endorsements was blind and Mr. Stickney aaid the big banks, through which this check had passed, had smoth ered the endorsement of his bank, which ' brought laughter in the jury box. Gilbert K. Woods of the Citizens j bank at St. Johnsbury was the next; witness. This banking was when (ira-'j ham & Skinner carried an account, of which Mr. Graham had the checking; authority. He could not say whether' Mr. Graham drew a check for his per- j soiial use. It was brought out that; probably Mr. Graham will take the stand, for his attorney stated that Mr, Graham probably could tell the use' that was made of the checks when he came to testify. No cross examination i of Mr. Woods occurred. The orders de- j posited in his bank went by concessions i of the respondent. j James K. McCarten of the' Newport I National bank was 'the last witness; yesterday afternoon. He testified as to j Mr. Graham's carrying an account in ' the bank there and that; it was not closed Jan. 7, 1P17." Mr. Barber asked him if there were any overdraiU against the respondent during the time that he had carried an account in the bank. Mr. MCarten referred to his books and found that Mr. Graham had overdrawn in the several years some 10 times in small sums. Three of these were three days together, when the accounts showed an overdraft of $1.56 for each day. Another was $4.17, while another was $3.02, and the largest amount at any time was $24.C7. There were also several deposits shown dur ing the course of the examination. Then the matter of the orders that were passed through the bank were dis cussed. All were conceded excepting two, one of which was not on the bank at all and had been mixed into the lot in some way, and another which Mr. Barber withdrew. Mr. Barber asked the cashier to tell what Mr. Graham's multiple balances were and the cashier replied he did not know what the attorney meant, after which the matters of overdrafts made by Mr. Graham was again discussed: but the cashier could not tell whether Mr. Graham was notified of the overdrafts. The records showed that there was a balance in the bank Jan. 7. Beginning Jan. . l!l)7, the cashier read the bal ances backward until Dec. 13, and each time showed Mr. Graham had cash on hand and excepting one date, Dec. 23, there was a sizeable amount on hand. That date the account was as low s $4.70. Most of. the time it was over $250. Some of the time over $300 and three times over $400. Mr.- Barber then asked about a de posit Dec. 14, which showed $700 de posited and the slip showed that $'!00 was bv a check on the Cltirens bank, while 'the other $400 was upon the Bethel bank, which ended the day's work.
