ROAD CONTRACT LET

Low Bid on Altamont Road is $27,851; On Loudon-Crescent Strip, $47,414

Bids were opened for the construction of three Albany County highways at the office of Edwin Duffey, state highway commissioner, last Friday. The Curran corporation of Middletown, Conn., was low on the Dunnsville-Altamont Road, at $27,851.50; David H. Craw of Ravena on the Dormansville-Westerlo-Ford’s Corners Road, at $56,736.75; and Thomas H. Karr of Troy on the Loudon-Crescent Road, at $47,414.25. Competition was keen on all the nineteen roads for which construction proposals were received.

Work on the Dunnsville-Altamont Road will undoubtedly be underway within a few weeks, as we understand the contractor has arranged to move machinery and tools here at an early date. Which end of the road to be constructed first is still unsettled.

Comstock-Crounse Nuptials.

Seldom have guests witnessed a prettier wedding than that which occurred at Fair Acres, near Meadowdale, on Saturday afternoon, June 5, when Mabel, the youngest daughter of Mrs. George F. Crounse, and Mr. Jasper S. Comstock were united in marriage by Rev. A.A. Frederick, the wedding ceremony being performed on the spacious lawn in the presence of about forty guests.

The bride was very becomingly attired in a simple but beautiful gown of softest crepe de chine, and carried a handsome bouquet of roses and lilies of the valley.

After the ceremony, an informal social hour was spent congratulating the groom and showering best wishes upon the bride. This was followed by a bountiful luncheon served in the parlors of the home. The wedding gifts which include substantial purses of gold, furniture, silver, cut glass, linen, etc., were very beautiful and express the esteem in which the young couple are held.

Mr. and Mrs. Comstock left by automobile about seven o’clock and are now guests at Sunset Cottage on Tupper Lake in the Adirondacks, where they will remain about ten days. They will be at home to their friends after August 1^st at Fair Acres, near Altamont.

MIDDLEBURGH SNOWED IN BY A.H.S. BASEBALL TEAM

The Altamont High School baseball team administered a terrible beating to the Middleburgh High School Nine on the home grounds last Satruday afternoon. the score of the contest was 16 to 1. Hess, who pitched for the visitors, was pounded hard and heavily. The local boys had a field day at the bat, making hits and runs so fast that it was difficult to keep count of them. The Middleburgh team was expected to put up a good game, and it was a surprise when they went to pieces so thoroughly. Becker pitched in his usual fine manner for A.H.S.

Horse and Wagon Abandoned Here.

Tuesday morning a horse and wagon were found standing under the Lutheran church shed and, as no one could be found to claim the rig, it was taken to the Commercial hotel barn to await the arrival of the owner. On Wednesday morning Luther Foland, proprietor of the White House, Middleburgh, arrived and claimed the property. It appears that on Monday Mr. Foland had rented the horse and wagon to a man giving the names of Perry and Ray. Evidently the man drove as far as Altamont that night and, having no further use for the horse, abandoned it and took other means of getting out of the vicinity, probably taking one of the early morning trains for Albany.
