BEEKEEPERS HELD FIELD DAY AT GALLUPVILLE

Sixty men of the Eastern New York Beekeepers’ association met at F. J. Hinman’s “Shady Nook” apiary at Gallupville last Thursday, for their annual field day and picnic. Several honey buyers from New York city and vicinity were rivals for the producers’ crops, 19-½ cents being the highest quotation, while most of the beekeepers are holding for 25 cents.

Most beekeepers reported an average crop of extraordinary quality and flavor, but owing to more than a fifty per cent winter loss of bees throughout the United States the crop would necessarily be a short one. Some fine examples were shown and sampled at the dinner and pronounced the best ever.

NEW SALEM — SOUTH END.

Mr. and Mrs. Bert Wilday, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. William F. Hallenbeck, enjoyed a very delightful trip Sunday, motoring through the Berkshires, going through Pittsfield, Lenox and Great Barrington, Mass., and Hudson, N. Y. They report the scenery most beautiful and the roads are fine.

VILLAGE NOTES.

— Frank Pino, an Italian living in the old bakery building on Prospect street, created considerable excitement for a short time Tuesday afternoon by pummeling and stamping on his eldest son, James. The timely arrival of Adam Henry, living opposite, who forcibly stopped the rumpus, prevented serious injury to the boy. The residents of the entire neighborhood were witnesses of the affair and were very indignant over the Italian’s brutal action. We understand no measures have been taken to arrest the man and teach him a few points of the law. Police officials of the village should see that our residents are not forced to witness such scenes in the future.

— The house and lot owned and occupied by Mrs. Carrie Loucks, on Lark street, has been sold to parties in Albany. Consideration, $4,000. Possession will be given in August.

CLARKSVILLE.

An automobile owned by Emerson Wagner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Wagner, was stolen on the market square in Albany last Friday. He left the machine a few minutes to deliver a crate of berries and on his return it was gone. No clue to the whereabouts of the auto has yet been obtained.

McKOWNVILLE.

At the Firemen’s picnic held last Saturday at McKown’s grove a very exciting baseball game between Guilderland and McKownville was enjoyed by a large number of people. The McKownville nine won by a score of 6 to 3. On July 27 the McKownville and Guilderland teams will play at Guilderland.

THOMPSON’S LAKE.

While being driven from the pasture to the barn recently, one of Charles Pitcher’s cows was knocked down and rolled over by an automobile. The animal escaped with a few bruises.
