ALBANY-SCHENECTADY COUNTY FAIR READY

Whether you come over the Helderbergs, around them, by them, or to the Helderbergs, you are coming next week to that village in the shade of this famous ridge of hills — Altamont.  The village that once thought of being the county seat but has had to stake its reputation on the producing of a county fair second to none and now expanded into a bi-county unit. 

State roads will lead the way of thousands of automobiles that will visit the Albany-Schenectady county fair, September 19 to 22, at the Altamont fair grounds. 

REIDSVILLE
Our school opened Tuesday, Sept. 5. All are pleased to have the same teacher who taught the last term, Charles Irish of Westerlo. 

COUNTERFEIT BILL 

FOUND IN ALTAMONT 

A counterfeit bill was deposited at the First National bank by one of its customers one day last week. It is a $10 bank note of the First National bank of Ozone Park, N.Y. It is one of a type which is being circulated in this vicinity, and it is a good imitation, bearing the picture of William McKinley. The signatures are rather large and blurred. 

Look well before cashing bills or you may get one. 

VILLAGE NOTES

Ernest Williamson has repurchased from Alvin Van Wie the meat market on Maple avenue which he sold to Mr. Van Wie last spring. Mr. Williamson took possession last Monday morning, and will be glad to see all his former patrons at the old stand. 

THOMPSON’S LAKE 

Mrs. Margaret Quay left Tuesday night for Altamont where she expects to stay until after the fair, assisting Nicholas Secor in the lunch room. 

SOUTH BERNE 

During the recent thunder shower, lightning struck the house of Leonard Ingalls near the chimney, scattering the floor oil-cloth in several directions and burning quite a hole in the remaining part. It shocked Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls, causing Mr. Ingalls to be deaf in one ear for several hours. 

BERNE 

The one hundredth anniversary of the organization of Sunday school work will be celebrated in the Reformed church of Berne on Sunday, Sept. 17. 

The first Sunday school was organized in the village of Berne just one hundred years ago, in May, 1822. An elaborate program is being arranged to celebrate the occasion. 

Come and hear a bit of history as presented by the appointed historian Mrs. Clarence Haverly, who occupies the house in which the Sunday school was started. 

SLINGERLANDS 

— A bee will be held Saturday afternoon on the grounds of the Slingerlands M. E. church for the purpose of removing the old sheds and rebuilding. 

— Town Clerk A. M. Reynolds states that there are 190 delinquents on dog licenses in the town of Bethlehem. Lists have been turned over to the justices and the State Department of Farms and Markets. Summonses will be sent out and if licenses are not paid a fee of $10 will be imposed.
