DUNNSVILLE. 

— Supervisor Frederick J. Van Wormer, Lester W. Crounse, and William A. Brinkman went to Albany Tuesday, where they were given a hearing by State Commissioner of Highways, Herbert S. Sisson in regard to the construction of the Western Turnpike as a concrete road. They received a much more favorable report for its early construction than was given at the hearing two weeks ago. 

— Chicken thieves entered the premises of Jacob Becker last week and took about 35 fowls. Apparently they were scared away as they left 20 of them on a pile by the road fence with their necks wrung. At about the same time while Lester W. Crounse was coming home he entered the barn yard from the rear of the barn and there he found a horse and wagon tied, and found a man in the barn. The man claimed he was lost. After a hot lecture by Mr. Crounse as to his intention there at that time of night, the man went toward Dunnsville and a little later went toward Altamont. 

BERNE. 

A physical training conference of the teachers of the Towns of Knox and Berne was held in the village school on Monday. 

VILLAGE NOTES. 

— Mr. and Mrs. Alanson F. Dietz celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary on Wednesday, March 16. Very few people in Altamont were aware of this pleasant event in the lives of this couple who have passed nearly their entire married life in Altamont. Mr. and Mrs. Dietz moved here from Guilderland Center about 35 years ago. 

— How many persons in Altamont are interested in having a good baseball team here during the coming season? Those who are interested are invited to attend a meeting at Enterprise hall next Tuesday night. If the number in attendance is large enough, an organization will be formed, and the ball will start rolling. 

QUAKER STREET. 

A near-accident happened in the public square on Tuesday night. The driver of an auto coming from the west direction did not see a team approaching from the east and the driver of the team must have figured wrong as well. As a result the near approach of the auto caused the horse to rear up and come down on the front of the machine,making some dents and sliding off on the ground. No great damage but “it might have been.” How about lights on vehicles and careful driving of autos.
