PASTOR IS GIVEN A
FAREWELL RECEPTION 

Nearly two hundred friends of the Rev. George W. Furbeck, pastor of the Altamont Reformed church, and Mrs. Furbeck and family, assembled at the church Tuesday evening, Nov. 21, to pay their respects to Mr. Furbeck before he leaves for his new field of labor at Ridgefield, N. J. Mr. Furbeck and family will leave for Ridgefield on Tuesday of next week. 

The affair had been planned as a surprise to Rev. and Mrs. Furbeck, but it developed into a surprise for everyone. The pastor and his wife had spent the day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Crounse and Miss Ada Frederick at Meadowdale. The Crounses were to bring their guests to the church at an appointed time, but in some manner the clock which they depended upon was nearly an hour fast; consequently Pastor Furbeck and Mrs. Furbeck arrived at the church before half of the congregation had come. However, this did not upset any plans, and the party proceeded. 

GUILDERLAND CENTER 

The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Wormer sympathize with them in the death of their only child, Stanley Jr., who passed away on Tuesday morning. The funeral was held on Thursday at 2 p.m. at the Reformed church. He had been ill many weeks and under the care of different doctors and all had been done by loving hands that could be done, but to no avail. He was three years old and was a beautiful child and beloved by all who knew him.

These towers are about six hundred feet apart. 

HENRY ELLIS EXPIRES 

SUDDENLY ON PORCH 

Henry Ellis, of Altamont, died suddenly Wednesday night of this week, on the front porch of the home of the Misses Lucy and Elizabeth Osborn on Main street. He had attended the fire at the lower village where the cottage of Mrs. Philip Crounse was burned and was returning home.
The exertion of his trip on foot must have brought on an attack of heart failure, for feeling badly he rang the doorbell at the Osborn residence and when they responded he expressed a fear that he might die. Dr. A. I. Cullen was immediately summoned but Mr. Ellis died before any help could be given. 

VILLAGE NOTES.

THE BOY SCOUTS 

The Scouts and Scoutmasters from Selkirk, Delmar and Voorheesville who journeyed to Altamont last Monday night and joined with the Altamont Scouts in giving a demonstration of their scout work must have felt somewhat chagrined by the small number of Altamont people who were interested to come out and encourage the boys with their presence. Even the parents of many of the boys were conspicuous by their absence. If parents are not interested in their own boys I suppose too much cannot be expected of other people.
