FARMERS TO PICNIC
HERE AUGUST 25 

The second annual picnic of Albany farmers held under the auspices of the County Farm Bureau will take place on Saturday, August 25, at 10 o’clock, at the Altamont fair grounds. The event promises to bring thousands to this village to enjoy a day of pleasure, picnicking, visiting and sports. 

Manager Crittenden and his picnic committee have planned a most interesting program for the day. One of the events is to determine who drives the slowest flivver and another auto contest is a “cranking one.” 

Hon. Peter G. Ten Eyck has donated a pure bred registered Guernsey bull calf which will be given away at the picnic. Any farm bureau member who is present will get a number free which will be used in determining by lot who wins the calf. 

DELANSON 

Joseph Champlain is putting down a septic tank to connect with his bath room. People say that Delanson is built on a swamp, but Mr. Champlain finds after digging a few feet down that he will have to blast through five feet of solid rock. When this is completed Mr. Champlain will have a home with all the improvements of a city house. 

NORMANSVILE 

— Many tourists are seen traveling through here each day from all over the United States. Tuesday night a party pitched tent in the orchard of Bernard Klink. 

— While Albert Duval of Zvar avenue and Eugene Boais of Arcadia street were walking along the highway near here Sunday evening, they were hit by a passing automobile which never stopped. The men were taken to the Albany hospital by another automobile which came along just then. Both men were severely hurt.

NEW SALEM, NORTH END 

William Higgins was stung by a bumble bee and he is sick from the effects of it. 

KNOX 

Saturday morning the girls from Knox and vicinity started on a hike to the Indian Ladder. Fun was the only program, and fun was what they had if one judges from the amount of laughter. It was rather a warm day and a lift from a kind passer-by was very acceptable. At the Ladder the girls went over the bear path and through the crevice. Some of the girls who are rather stout wondered how they ever got through such a narrow crack. A number of young men were invited to come with their cars to a hot dog roast and take the girls home afterward.

GUILDERLAND CENTER 

Harding Memorial Service 

A very impressive service in memory of the late Warren G. Harding, America’s lamented president, was held in the Reformed church last Sunday at 11 o’clock. 

A beautiful large picture of our last President was obtained through the courtesy of Dr. F. H. Hurst, and was much appreciated. The entire service was one to be long held in memory.
