MARIAVILLE 
— Picnickers are disturbing the equilibrium of the cottages on the shore front by camping there and throwing bottles and rubbish in the water and on the lawns, parking cars, and lying around in semi-undress. They refuse to move when requested to do so and steps are being taken to remove the nuisance by the Civic association. 

DELANSON 

— Mrs. J. Norman Bennett entertained twelve ladies in the interest of the Missionary society at her home Monday evening. They were treated to a trip from New York to San Francisco by stereopticon pictures, showing places of note along the route. Light refreshments were served, and all had a most enjoyable evening.

— This quite peaceful village was aroused last Thursday evening by the sounding of the fire gong and the blowing of the coal plant whistle. It proved to be nothing more serious than that the fence around the coal pocket had caught fire in some way. To say we have a very efficient fire company is putting it mildly. Every one is talking about how quickly they respond and get to business. They surely deserve praise.

Le Grand Schell has a three legged duck and it is doing well. 

ESPERANCE
Hunter Dale, the young son of Mrs. Mildred Dale, fell from a place in the barn several feet in height. He struck his face on a concrete floor and is thought to be injured internally. The reason for the fall was probably due to the fact that Hunter had the use of only one leg, the other being in a plaster paris jacket. 

VOORHEESVILLE
The M. E. church is closed for the remainder of this month, owing to the absence of the pastor, Rev. Paul Morrisson, who with his family are camping at Riverside, Troy.
