H. Sprout & Sons secured six Chevrolet cars from the factory at Tarrytown-on-the- Hudson the laer part of last week. These cars, fresh from the factory, were driven to Montrose over the Catskill Mountain region, where many of the roads had been just worked, on high gear, it not being necessary to throw the machines into low gear even on the steepest hills, a remarkable test of efficient construction. Four of the cars were speedily sold, the buyers being Bert Morgan and Henry Morgan, of Montrose; Arthur Topp, of Louden Hill farm, South Montrose, and Dwight Rhinevault, of Birchard- ville. ALSO Fiſty-two persons will go on a special car [trolley] to Scranton to witness “The Birth of a Nation.” The car will leave at 5:10 and arrive back about midnight. All are looking forward to a good photoplay and a fine scenic trip over the trolley line. Heart Lake – Our opening dance was very well aended consider- ing the fact that on Decoration Day it rained nearly all day. Realizing there were some who staid [stayed] at home on account of the bad weather, we have planned another dance on June 13th and look for a big crowd. Our dance floor has been waxed and is in A No. 1 con- dition. Come and bring your lady friends. Mack & Jenkins, Prop. Gela – Galusha McNamara, who has been in the mercantile business at Bearston, N. Y., for sev- eral years, has disposed of his busi- ness. He and his family are spend- ing some time at the home of his wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Taylor. ALSO We regret that Mrs. D. C. Sparks had the misfortune to lose a cow, as did F. E. Barnes. Brooklyn – In spite of the rain Tuesday a goodly number partici- pated in the observance of Memo- rial Day. At 10 a.m., automobiles conveyed the veterans to Mountain View cemetery and Evergreen cem- etery to decorate the graves. At 2 p.m. a drum corps led the march to the cemeteries in the village where aſter decorating the graves the ritualistic service of the G. A. R. was observed. At the M. E. church later a quartee furnished excellent music. Mrs. J. C. Miller read Lin- coln’s Geysburg address, Mrs. H. C. Tewksbury gave an appropriate reading and R. H. Holgate’s speech was greatly appreciated. ALSO When passing over the state road near Oakley’s garage, last Sunday, Glenn Voss, who was driving a touring car containing his wife, his father and mother, C. E. Voss and wife and his grandmother, sud- denly found himself in a pocket in the road when aempting to pass some horse-driven vehicles, and a head-on collision resulted, striking an automobile driving by a lady whose name we have been unable to learn. The Voss car was badly injured and some of the occupants came home with A. W. Lyons, who happened to be nearby. The car driven by the lady was slightly in- jured, the fenders being bent and the lamps broken. No one was injured although given a bad scare when the gasoline steeds strenu- ously disputed the right of way. South Harford – Automobiles seem to be geing to be the things. We sighted O. F. Maynard, of Har- ford, out with a new car, Cliſton Brainard and O. F. Miller also; but they were not as swiſt as the three which went through here one day last week. Clifford – Mr. and Mrs. P. A.

The ceremony was wit- nessed by relatives and a few inti- mate friends. Forest City – Memorial services were held in St. Agnes Church on Sunday. At the conclusion of the services, a procession formed and marched to St. Agnes’ cemetery, where the graves of the old sol- diers were decorated. ALSO Clark Brothers, of Scranton, have opened a store in the Knapp building. It is their 21st store now. S. Ararat – Lennie Barnes and family, of Gela, are at their coage at Fiddle Lake.

Mrs. Mecca Marie Varney will speak at the aſternoon session, June 13th, and will give a lecture at the eve- ning meeting. Alford – J. M. Decker, Alford’s postmaster, merchant, and propri- etor of the Alford Blue Stone Co., has a business which is among the county’s large and prosper- ous industries—his pay roll each week running into handsome fig- ures. Last month twelve car loads of curbing were shipped from Alford, and the business will run much heavier for the months to fol- low. The quality of the stone from the Alford quarry is excellent and “repeat orders” take the product as fast as Mr. Decker can load same on the cars. Lynn, Springville Twp. – Spring- ville’s base ball team crossed bats with the Lynn boys on Saturday af- ternoon last on the laer’s ground, resulting in a score of 3-7, in favor of Springville. Rev.
