CLARKSVILLE 

— Round Lake or Saranac Lake has nothing on us for spring weather. Some youngsters were skating Sunday morning. On their way home they picked arbutus buds and pussy willows. They were determined that spring was here to stay, but we older ones knew better. Spring never settled so early before, for we hadn’t cleaned house yet. Monday morning the children said, “Guess Mom was right.” 

 — Mrs. Adelia Mathia passed her eighty-ninth birthday Friday. She received many pretty gifts and congratulations. If you are downcast and gloomy, call on Mrs. Mathias or Ma Tice as everyone calls her. The gloom will soon disappear, for she is always cheerful and makes everybody so, who comes in contact with her.

VILLAGE NOTES 

— Dr. A. I. Cullen’s 70-foot aerial mast, which has been under construction since early last fall, was placed in position last week and anchored fast with several guy wires. During the heavy gale Monday afternoon and evening, a couple of the wires gave way, allowing the mast to fall. Investigation showed that it was considerably splintered by the fall, and will be in need of extensive repairs before it can be raised again.
