DELMAR 

The pupils of the four upper grades surprised Miss Margaret Jones of the fifth and sixth grades of the Delmar school with a kitchen shower last Thursday afternoon. Although no formal announcement has been made, no one has to guess very hard to find out why there was a presentation of such useful articles. 

 

A “CLASSIFIED” CORRECTION 

By error the Enterprise ran an advertisement for William K. Crounse for the sale of cordwood after it had been ordered discontinued. That the Enterprise ads are read is evidenced by the fact that Mr. Crounse received so many replies he had to ask us to make this correction so that there would be no misunderstanding, and so that further explanations would not be necessary on his part. 

 

AUCTION SALE 

On account of no help and being all worked out, I am forced to give up my farming and sell at my residence, known as the Fair View Stock Farm, 1-½ miles north of Preston Hollow Village, on Thurs. April 26th, at 10 o’clock sharp, the following property: 

50 Registered and High Grade Holstein Cattle, including: 

– My Herd Bull, Wandermere Tjitske Pontiac No. 271761, 4 years old, Weight 2000. 

–Such cows as Tjitske Korndyke No. 292049. She weighs 1500 pounds and her granddam was imported from Holland, by Quincey McAdams. She now is in calf by the bull, Paul Veeman Hangervald Pontiac No. 295100. His dam No.267308 H. F. H. B. Her butter record is 25.7 pounds in 7 days. 

This may be a chance of a lifetime to start a pure bred herd at your own price, with all papers. 

 

New Delanson Fire Dept. Has Its First Test 

Tuesday morning at about 1:10, the first fire alarm was sounded in this village. It was a stubborn fire and had a good start in the upper flat occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Finch in the house owned by L. L. Terpening adjoining the new fire house on Main street. The members of the department responded promptly and soon had two streams of water and one of chemical playing on the blaze. 

Mr. Finch lost considerable, as he was not insured and the furniture was soon to be removed. The furniture belonging to downstairs residents Mr. and Mrs. Clapper was damaged mostly by water. The origin of the fire is not known. The damage to the building is considerable. 

Dimont Rector suffered several cuts on his hand and wrist in using the chemical apparatus through the south window of the room where the blaze was confined. 

The good work of the department at their first fire resulted in the saving of not only the building in which the fire occurred but the several homes which would have been threatened as well as the new village building next door, had there been no facilities for conquering the blaze. The villagers feel that the fire equipment has paid for itself at the first test, and much credit is due the members of the department for their good work.
