Altamont Boy Scout Notes 

Monday evening saw the local boys come to life again, after a long summer vacation. Business meeting was preceded by a little supervised boxing. 

At the business meeting the boys decided to “carry on” and in order to do this they thought it best to adopt a demerit system so that more discipline could be maintained. It would be appreciated if people of this town would report any misbehavior of the scouts to assistant scoutmaster R. Donald Baird, or Ernest E. Rau. These reports will be kept strictly confidential by the officials and hope that the people of this viallage will help make the Altamont Troop one of the best trained troops in the Council.

The funeral of Mrs. William B. Jewett of Schenectady was held at the residence of her parents here on Monday. Interment took place at Prospect Hill Cemetery. 

On returning from the funeral of Mrs. Jewett on Monday, Mrs. William J. Beebe found her brother, Sanford Hilton, dead in the house. A short time before his death, Mr. Hilton was in the field cutting corn. It is believed an attack of heart trouble caused his death. The funeral was held on Thursday.
