11 06 Hon. J. B. Bennett of Washington, D. C., was a guest of George W. Hawkins and other old friends here the fore part of the week. This being his old home, he came here to vote on Tuesday last, residents of Washington not being allowed to vote there. Mr. Bennett was for many years Watertown's largest manufacturers, manufacturing threshing machines, seeders and farm implements of all kinds. All his old friends gave him a most hearty greeting. While in the city he was a pleasant caller at The Gazette office. He reports his sons, John and Ruben Bennett well, both being engaged as machinists in the navy yard at Washington. WG
