FAIR OPENS MONDAY 

The big event of the countryside opens on Monday at Altamont, when from many farms and gardens will be brought together at the Albany-Schenectady County fair the best of the products of 1924 and be placed in array for the thousands from city and country to look upon; and for judges to decide which they consider the best and worthy of the premiums offered by the Agricultural Society. 

Horses, cattle, sheep and swine will also have a tryout for premiums, and champion ribbons will be given in the cattle classes. The entries are larger than last year. 

FULLERS 

Our school opened last week with Miss Gladys Crounse of Knox as teacher. 

NEW SCOTLAND

The community was shocked at the sudden death of Almon Barton. Mr. Barton was a life long resident of this place and highly respected. He leaves to mourn his death a widow, two sons, a daughter, and two granddaughters. Burial was in the New Scotland cemetery. 

REIDSVILLE 

— Robert Olson has purchased a farm in Westerlo and intends to farm it next year. 

— William Cass and son are threshing oats in this vicinity with their new outfit. If weather permits they will thresh oats for Stanton Van Deusen and David Phillips this week. 

VOORHEESVILLE 

Edgar Cook had some sheep killed by dogs last Saturday. The assessors met to appraise the damage. 

GUILDERLAND CENTER 

Edmund Witherwax has installed electric lights in his house and also made a concrete porch and a walk to the street. A fine improvement. 

VILLAGE NOTES

— A new filling station has been erected by the Texas Oil company in front of Lainhart’s store on Maple avenue. It will be in the charge of Chas. J. Vroman, proprietor of the newsroom in the Lainhart block. 

— This week — the one preceding the fair — is a good time for property owners in Altamont to get their premises in shape so that visitors to the fair will receive a favorable impression of our village. The village board has started things by filling up the bad spots in our streets and putting the park in condition, and residents should follow their example. During Fair week more strangers visit our village than at any other time during the year, and their opinion of us was formed by the impressions they get during their short stay here. Clean up! 

— Miss Ethel Crookes went to Syracuse on Sunday. She has charge of the Spelling Bee girls at the State Fair this week.
