HEATLESS MONDAYS OFF.

Washington, Feb. 14. — Suspension of the heatless Monday program was announced yesterday by Fuel Administrator Garfield with the reservation that it may be put back into force before the ten weeks period expires if a return of bad weather brings any breakdown in railroad transportation.

DELANSON.

Mr. and William Letts are very much alarmed over the continued absence of their son Hirschel. The young man disappeared about two weeks ago and has not been heard of since.

MEADOWDALE.

Teacher and pupils of the school gave an interesting literary program Tuesday morning in honor of Lincoln’s birthday.

NEW SALEM.

A few of our residents are confined to the house with colds and other ailments. So far, however, this village has been quite immune from very many cases of serious illness.

CLARKSVILLE.

A very fortunate thing for the people of this place was the 100-gallon tank belonging to M. F. Barber. Had it not been for his kindness in supplying the people with oil, many homes would have been without light during the past week, as the stores were all without oil and were unable to get any.
 

STATE ROAD SOUTH BERNE.

William Hayes, an old and respected resident of Switzkill, died at his home on Tuesday, Jan. 20. He had been in failing health for some time, but his death came as a shock to his many friends here. He was over 80 years old and had lived on the farm for more than 40 years. He was a faithful member of the church and was a regular attendant there and at Sunday school. Surviving him is one daughter, Mrs. William Jewett, who has tenderly cared for him.

Town of New Scotland.

Notice is hereby given that a special Town Meeting of the Electors of the Town of New Scotland, County of Albany, will be held in Red Men’s Hall, Village of New Salem, on the 23rd day of February, 1918, for the purpose of voting on the following question:

“Shall the Town of New Scotland borrow the sum of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00) on the credit of the Town for the purpose of removing snow from its highways?”

VILLAGE NOTES.

— J. Elwood Pangburn, who is one of Altamont’s young married men, and well known in this section of Albany county, has bought the meat market business recently owned by the late Charles Loucks. He will begin doing business at the same building on Maple avenue on Monday, Feb. 18.

PERSONAL MENTION.

John T. Severson left Tuesday morning for Owego, where he will visit his cousin for a few days. While there he will spend some time at Ithaca and attend the Farmers’ Week being held there. It is rumored that John’s visit to that section of the state was not exactly in the interest of the dairy business, but more likely toward a matrimonial venture. Time will tell, however.
