Altamont Enterprise Oct. 26, 1917
LIBERTY LOAN MEETING.
A rousing meeting was held Monday evening at Masonic hall in the interest of the second Liberty Loan. The meeting was under the auspices of Altamont Liberty Loan committee. It was preceded by a concert by the Altamont band, who donated their services for the occasion. The attendance was good, but the audience more than made up in patriotism and interest for their lack of numbers. At the close of the meeting it was found that $17,000 worth of bonds had been subscribed. Subscriptions received since the meeting have increased the amount to over $25,000. It certainly shows that Altamont and vicinity are awake.

— A number of young men from Schenectady enjoyed a nutting party here on Sunday.
VILLAGE NOTES.
— All drivers of automobiles, wagons or other vehicles are cautioned to turn to the right by a “silent policeman” placed at the intersection of Maple avenue and Main street, in this village. On account of the great number of vehicles passing over these two streets it was thought necessary to eliminate all danger of accidents at this corner.

NEW SCOTLAND.

— The semi-annual sale and chicken supper of the New Scotland Presbyterian church will be given on Wednesday, Oct. 31. The usual plans are in preparation, and the usual well filled baskets are expected to be in readiness. Those who have attended these suppers know what they are like. Those who have not, should come and see what pride our young ladies have in serving every one who comes. A large company is expected, and all are welcome.
