— A new feature of the Altamont Free library is its magazine department. The library subscribes for the Literary Digest, the Outlook, National Geographic and American Boy, which are loaned the same as books.

People may then take them and need not return them.

Theodore Hotaling, Sr., was walking along the bank of the church farm creek and found a turtle with the date 1894 and the initials A. W. C. on it.

H. 1923.
