THOMPSON’S LAKE. 

Several inches of heavy wet snow fell here Tuesday, making hard traveling for autos. Those who were obligated to go to town with poultry were fortunate in reaching home in the early afternoon. Last year at Thanksgiving time trees and every thing was covered with a thick coating of ice. At this time they are looking beautiful in a heavy coating of snow, but not very promising for a Thanksgiving gathering. 

 

GUILDERLAND CENTER.

There was a large attendance at the Firemen’s masquerade dance last week Friday evening at the Town hall. Another dance will be given on Friday evening, Dec. 3, from 9 to 1 o’clock. 

 

VOORHEESVILLLE. 

No school was held here Thanksgiving and today, the teachers and pupils are having a vacation until Monday. 

 

DELANSON. 

An accident occurred on Tuesday morning, but no one was hurt. Charles Hoag was driving down the hill with the milk one stormy morning and William Case was coming up from Delanson in his Ford. The windshield was covered with the wet snow obscuring his vision, and as a result a collision occurred. The front wheel of the carriage and one shaft were broken.

 

AN UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY 

FOR YOUNG WOMEN. 

The completion of the new Home Economics buildings at the State School at Cobleskill makes it now possible for the school to offer a course of eight weeks for young women interested in Home Making. It runs Jan. 3 through Feb. 25. 

For the first time since the school opened five years ago, the young women who come for this course can live at the school itself. They will be provided with board and room at cost and housed in warm, comfortable and pleasant quarters under the supervision of a teacher. This arrangement means that the usual board bill will be cut in half. The entire board bill for the eight weeks will not exceed $40. Tuition is free to residents of the state. 

 

CLARKSVILLE.
Rev. Boice preached a very interesting sermon Sunday. Due to the stormy weather there were not many out to hear it. 

 

VILLAGE NOTES. 

—A Health Center will be established in Altamont in rooms in Mrs. Isabella Sturges’ house on Maple avenue. Mrs. Lillian Wilcox, a public health nurse, will be in charge. The rooms will be open on Wednesday and Thursday of next week. It is hoped that the people of Altamont and the public generally will take advantage of this splendid help which can be procured so easily. Information and advice will be given free to all persons who may apply. 

—Walter Severson, secretary of the Albany County Agricultural Society, and bee-keeper of Altamont, has arranged for an exhibition of live bees and a sale of honey at the store of Holmes Bros. florists, at 20 Steuben street, Albany. Sale will begin on Tuesday, Nov. 30, and continue for three weeks.
