Mr. Murphy has obtained a four months’ leave of absence, during which time he will have personal charge of the work of delivering milk to customers on the route. He is anxious to succeed, and invites patronage from all persons desirous of securing good service and the best quality of bottled milk obtainable.

Favors were jonquils. Dancing followed the dinner, Westervelt’s orchestra of Albany playing. Chester Bradford, the president, was presented with a handsome suit case.

Mrs. Clifford Wormer presided. We were greatly honored in having with us three clergymen and their families. Rev. Mr. Bennett of Guilderland offered prayer and also addressed the meeting, referring with appreciation to his sojourn among the people of Guilderland and community.
