DELANSON 

— A new pipeless furnace was very recently installed in the M. E. church parsonage and has proven very satisfactory. 

— Mrs. Sarah Wilber received from Mrs. B. S. Pettit from Brandentown, Florida, on Wednesday morning, a lemon which weighs one pound and ten ounces and measures 16 inches in circumference; she also received a small leaf from a rubber tree which has a spread of fifty feet. 

VILLAGE NOTES 

— The D. & H. carpenters, headed by H. J. Quackenbush, foreman, who have been making repairs to railroad property for several days, left Monday night for Delanson, where they will be located for several days. The park pagoda here has undergone quite extensive repairs, and is now ready for the painting which will be done by another gang of men in a few days. The repairs to the pagoda were made just in time to prevent its complete destruction, as the supports were almost completely rotted away. 

— The Water Board of Altamont requests that the residents of this village use as little water as possible until the small reservoir fills.

ALTAMONT HIGH MEETS 

SCHOHARIE TONIGHT 

After three weeks of hard work the Altamont High school boys are ready to open their basket ball season at Schoharie. The boys leave tonight rather confident of victory although not over-confident as they are treading on new soil. It has been several years since the local High has met the Schoharie aggregation. 

Last Friday night the High school five received some stiff opposition in a practice game with the local Boy Scout five in Makely’s hall. Wednesday night the regulars were opposed by the strongest opposition the school could offer. This ended all practice before tonight’s game and most of the boys are nursing minor bruises and lameness.
