ALBANY COUNTY DRAFT LISTS.

506 WILL BE EXAMINED

Characterizing all previously published lists of names as incorrect, James. T. Young, chairman of the exemption board of the second district of Albany county, with headquarters at Watervliet, gave out Monday morning the names of the men in Watervliet, Green Island, Guilderland and New Scotland, the second district of Albany county who will first be called for army service. The country demands 143 men. Chairman Young expects to begin before Saturday the examining of men, and his board will hold morning, afternoon, and evening sessions. Dr. William B. Sabin will be assisted in making physical examinations by Dr. Robert J. O’Brien.

The following men from Altamont and nearby towns have been notified to appear for examination on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, according to the group in which their numbers were drawn:

Altamont — Jesse A. Cowan, Charles Sagar, Stephen D. Griffin, Willard D. Tygert, Earl J. Sharp, Ernest L. Haverly, Leo B. Westfall, Percy D. Crego, Amidee Zebera, Leroy R. Brunk, Daniel W. Albright.

SUFFRAGE ACTIVITIES.

Voorheesville is planning a Suffrage Conference for August 10th, on the lawn of the Methodist church. This is the first of a series of Suffrage Conferences which will be held in different sections of the county from now until next election day.

The program will consist of a business discussion and speeches on “Woman and War Service,” and “Food Conservation” by noted speakers from New York City.

One of the big features of the event will be the War Thrift Picnic, at 5:30. Each person attending is asked to bring if possible some original war thrift dish.

Altamont Pharmacy Burglarized.

During Friday night or early Saturday morning thieves broke open a cellar window at the Altamont Pharmacy and entered the building by the cellar stairs. Mrs. Harrington, having occasion to attend to her baby’s wants, thought she heard a noise as of someone walking, but being uncertain went back to bed without awakening the household.

In the morning it was found that the thieves had attempted to make a haul, but had been scared away by hearing sounds in the house. Mr. Harrington’s only loss was two cheap watches, no other goods being taken. Evidently the marauders were not looking for money, as the cash register and a drawer containing some bills were undisturbed.

NEW SALEM — SOUTH END

Mrs. Robert Ellis and her daughter Isabel, her father, Edward Utter, visited the place known as “Huckleberry Hill” on Sunday, July 29. While they were a short distance from their wagon a party came along and took a small leather suit case from the vehicle and disappeared in the bushes nearby; but they were not quite quick enough to escape observation, and if they want to avoid trouble they had better leave the suit case at the residence of Mr. Vosburgh, near the place where they took it. It seems a pity that parties enjoying an outing cannot feel safe to leave their property for a time without having it stolen. If the party was hungry and had asked for something to eat, it would have been given to them gladly — but they had to take suit case and all.
