VILLAGE NOTES.
— Troops of the New York State Guard participated in a sham battle at State and Pearl streets, Albany, at 5 o’clock on Wednesday. The Albany battalion, Tenth infantry, “B” Troop, 106th Field Hospital company, and the Albany battalion’s medical corps, in command of Col. Charles Walsh and Major Patrick Clune, marched to the Albany approach of the Hudson bridge to meet the recruiting unit which is making a statewide tour to stimulate interest in the New York militia. The squadron demonstrated the use of tanks, machine guns, light and heavy field artillery, and other war weapons. Altamont members of the State Guard who participated were Donald Baird, Alton Pitcher, Edmond Lape, Ernest Rau and Norman Van Wormer.
— In last week’s Enterprise there was printed a list of the Democratic candidates for offices in the town of Guilderland. The name of Frederick Keenholts was given as a candidate for constable. Frederick Keenholts of Altamont is the only man of that name in the town of Guilderland, as far as can be learned, and he states that, being a Republican, he wants it understood that he is not running for office on the Democratic ticket. The Enterprise printed what the copy contained which was furnished. The correct name has not yet been obtained.
