WESTERLO 

Mrs. John Fergerson of White Plains, N.Y., occupied the pulpit of the Reformed church Sunday morning June 4th with a very interesting and pleasing address. Surely those who listened to Mrs. Fergerson could not help but wish to hear her again. 

LAST WEEK’S RAIN 

HELPED ALL CROPS 

Heavy rains were general Friday and Saturday over all sections of the state, excepting the extreme western counties where only light to moderate showers occurred and more rain is needed to facilitate plowing, according to the summary of weather and crop conditions for last week, sent out from the Ithaca office of the weather bureau. 

The rainfall greatly benefited all crops and their general condition continues satisfactory: the strawberry crop was particularly helped by the precipitation. The planting of corn and potatoes is nearing completion and their cultivation has begun over the southeastern counties. Wheat and rye are reported as favorably and oats look especially well. Hay is generally good, and alfalfa in Orleans County is reported to be ready to cut.

Obituary.
Ambrose R. Hunting was born in the town of Wright eighty-eight years ago and spent nearly all his life on the farm where he lived. Mr. Hunting was united in marriage to Amanda Severson April 14, 1859. Their happiness was cut short by sickness and death in about four years. To this union were born two sons; one was killed in an accident, and the other, Edwin Francis, a druggist in Albany, survives his father. He remarried after six years. His second wife was Mary Northrop. Out of this union one daughter was born, Florence Alberta, who married O. E. Williamson. Mr. and Mrs. Williamson came home to care for her parents a few years ago.

In the days of his strength Mr. Hunting had held offices in the town and was a member of the assembly for one term. In his early life he taught school and at one time was school commissioner. He was a man of sterling character and had the respect of all his townsmen.
