DORMANSVILLE
We wonder how many noticed the sky last Saturday. It was a pretty yellow, and the sun was a bright red ball and appeared to be very close to the earth. The moon was also a bright red. 

CLARKSVILLE 

— Several of the children of the primary department of our school are at home with measles. Miss Spenceley returned to take charge of her room on Monday. 

— Thomas Radley, who has been at West Coxsackie since selling his property here, was in town Decoration day with his new Ford. Mr. Radley has decided that traveling with horses is entirely too slow and out of date. 

VILLAGE NOTES 

— Joseph Snyder requests that the person who borrowed a ladder from him during the winter, return it at once, as he is in need of it. 

— Miss Jeannette Totten, who has been in the village for several days endeavoring to interest the people of Altamont and vicinity in a Community Chautauqua, returned to New Haven, Conn., on Wednesday. Thirty-two signatures were obtained by Miss Totten, and the Chautauqua will be held sometime in August. 

— During the month of May 572 books were circulated through our library. Four hundred six books of fiction and 16 books of non-fiction were taken by adults; 143 books were issued in the children’s department; 7 books of non-fiction were issued to the juniors. These facts attest to the growing popularity of the Altamont Free Library. New books are being added from time to time, and the people of the village and vicinity have been very generous in the support of this venture which has given good reading to so many. 

MEDUSA 

— A party of soldiers came here on Wednesday and decorated the soldiers’ graves in our cemetery.
