DUANESBURGH QUARANTINED BECAUSE OF CORN BORER 

The town of Duanesburgh has been listed as a quarantined area because of the infection of European corn borer, according to a recent notice issued by the bureau of plant industry of the national department of agriculture. 

The movement of oat straw without a permit will be an offense punishable by a fine or imprisonment. 

The quarantine of Duanesburgh places the entire county of Schenectady under the ban and such crops as celery, corn stalks, corn on cob, oat straw, or rye straw cannot be shipped outside Schenectady County or the infested area without proper credentials. 

REPUBLICANS HELD RALLY AT ALTAMONT THURSDAY 

The Republicans of this vicinity held their mass meeting at the masonic hall on Thursday evening. 

The speakers blended Americanism, patriotism and Republicanism into one. To an observer it was a serious audience, come there apparently to hear some facts about present conditions of which they already had a knowledge. 

Senator Henry M. Sage was the first speaker, and he took up state issues, showing that Governor Smith’s statement that a hostile Legislature prevented his accomplishment of many things he set out to do was true in the sense that many bills the Governor had favored would have been burdensome to the taxpayers and had been killed. He said they were kept busy lest the Governor “put one over.” 

He was followed by Mrs. Ada Wolf, of New York City, who spoke for an equal chance for the working women of the state, for a business administration, and for the election of Judge Miller, “that a man with seven daughters and a wife ought to know what a woman needs.” 

VOORHEESVILLE. 

— On Sept. 29 a resolution was passed whereby for the current year military training cannot be given in places where the unit consists of less than 50 boys. Boys who have enrolled at Altamont must send their registration cards immediately in a self-addressed stamped envelope to the Zone Supervising Officer at 21 Washington avenue, Albany. 

— Mrs. Barker Baird is quite ill at her home on Prospect street as the result of being thrown from a motorcycle driven by her husband Tuesday. It appears that they were returning home and in passing a team of horses on the state road they were crowded off the highway, causing the machine to upset. 

NEW SALEM, NORTH END. 

There are quite a few people being brought before the Justice of the Peace, Charles Bishop, for taking fruit and other things. 

VILLAGE NOTES.

Mr. Fredendall will take possession of this part of the business on Nov. 1. His many friends will be pleased to hear that he has gone in business on his own account. The furniture business will continue under the management of Mrs. Louise Hellenbeck.
