VILLAGE NOTES.
— Some new books are soon to be added to the library, and the co-operation of library patrons is requested in making out the list of volumes to be purchased. Please leave names of books you would like placed in the library with the librarian, Mrs. Stephen Ostrander, or send the list to the chairman of the book committee, Mrs. Joseph Zimmerman. Kindly attend to this matter at your earliest convenience.
— A public meeting will be held at Enterprise hall on Saturday afternoon, April 10, at 2 o’clock, for the purpose of ascertaining the wishes of residents of this community in regard to the holding of a County fair here this year. The matter will be thoroughly discussed and threshed out, and all who are interested in continuing the fair for another year are urged to be present. Let everybody attend and signify their willingness to keep alive this very important institution that has taken years to establish. The directors of the fair association give notice that unless the community at large is willing to co-operate with them, no fairs will be held in Altamont in the future.
— Christian Thomsen, who with his wife and family has occupied the old Crounse farm for the past year, will move to the Garrie Martin farm, south of New Salem, April 1st. Mr. Thomsen is a native of Denmark, but for several years managed a large ranch in Kansas, where he raised horses, cattle and hogs. Mr. Thomsen’s present farm consists of only 40 acres, with 20 acres planted to apple and small fruit trees.
