A Correction. 

The following paragraph appeared in the Lawson’s Lake items in the Enterprise last week: 

“Mrs Bertha Blessing announces her engagement to Private Asa B. Golden, who has just arrived from France. The wedding will take place in the early fall. Both are well known in the surrounding vicinity, and have many friends, all of whom wish them a long and happy wedding life. After the wedding they will reside in Pittsfield, Mass.” 

This week the following letter was received by the editor of the Enterprise: 

Mr. Editor: 

I am somewhat surprised, to say the least at the enclosed announcement in the last issue of the Enterprise. My son does not contemplate matrimony with any one at present, certainly not with a widow with eight children. The ladies have the right of suffrage, but it is a little out of order to marry a man without his knowledge or consent. It always takes two to make a bargain. Kindly make room for this in your columns this week.

BERNE.

— Rensselaer Stevens, who was one of the first boys to go overseas, has returned home and was visiting friends in this vicinity the past week. He received three machine gun wounds in the shoulder and was compelled to submit to three operations spending many weeks in hospital. He is surely glad to be in the good U. S. A. 

— Clyde Ball expects to start repairing his house at Switzkill Tuesday, Harry Weidman doing the work. 

GALLUPVILLE. 

The Schoharie County Farm Bureau picnic will be held August 22 at Barnerville on the farm of Morgan Myers. 

Free Postage for Mrs. Roosevelt. 

Free postal privileges for Mrs. Roosevelt, widow of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, are provided in a bill favorably reported to the House of Representatives by the Postoffice Committee. When passed, it will mean that Mrs. Roosevelt need only sign her name on the upper corner of the envelope used by her, in the usual place where stamps are affixed, and her letters, or parcels of any kind, will be transported free by the government. The same rights were given Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. Harrison, and Mrs. Grover Cleveland. As yet no bill has been offered to provide Mrs. Roosevelt with the usual pension of $5,000 yearly, the sum given heretofore by Congress to widows of presidents.
