VILLAGE NOTES 

Several Hallowe’en parties have been held about the village during the week, and each gathering of young folks and some older ones have enjoyed the games and pranks. It is to be regretted that with all the Hallowe’en fun outdoors, some of the boys take it upon themselves to destroy property in their pranks about town. 

VOTE “YES”
Following are the reasons why every citizen should vote “Yes” on election day, Nov. 6th, on the proposed bond issue of $50,000,000 to protect the insane, the feeble-minded, crippled, incipient tuberculosis, and other state unfortunates from fire and other dangers:
1. To prevent deaths by fire in obsolete, fire-trap buildings; 

2. To reduce overcrowding of patients in the state hospitals and promote their recovery

3. To protect the community from dangerous mental defectives. 

4. To provide for crippled children, curable cases of tuberculosis, and other state unfortunates. 

5. To equalize the financial burden by providing that the cost of these buildings, which are permanent improvements, shall be spread over a period of 25 years; it is unfair to the present, hard-pressed taxpayers to expect them to provide from present taxation the full cost of buildings, the use and benefits of which will extend over several generations. 

FONT GROVE 

Miss Betty Terry of this place will play the organ this winter at the New Scotland church. 

GUILDERLAND 

Tuesday afternoon while Mrs. Jacob Brust was in Albany, burglars entered her house and ransacked bureau drawers and stole $50 in money belonging to her son Phhilip, a lady’s gold watch and chain, and a man’s watch belonging to Mr. Brust. Mr. Brust is employed at the Guilderland Foundry company and was notified immediately of the theft. No trace of the thieves has been found. 

SLOANSVILLE 

Clyde Hills seems to be the lucky hunter, having shot three foxes the past week. 

SOUTH THOMPSON’S LAKE 

The concrete base is finished for the new church and the men came out for a bee this week and cut the logs for the roof. The lumber was donated by Mrs. Sutherland and sister Mrs. Lottie Eceret. Many thanks to these generous people. 

A CORRECTION TO 

POLITICAL ADVERTISING 

To the Editor of the Enterprise: 

I noticed an article in your paper of Friday, Oct. 19th, 1923, boosting William J. Snyder for member of the Assembly. I wish to say that there are many misstatements in said article. 

First — He never was a farmer. 

Second — He never was a horse breeder. 

Third — He never won a blue ribbon at any Fair. 

Fourth — His father never served two years “in the lower house,” but did serve one year, and that was in the year of 1863. However, he was nominated the next year at the assembly convention, but the nomination was not seconded — when Mr. Snyder arose and said, “Mr. Snyder declines that nomination unanimously.”
