Altamont Enterprise March 28, 1924

DUNNSVILLE 

Chicken thieves visited the hen house of Francis Van Wormer and took twenty of his fowls and at Chester B. Crounse’s they took forty. 

— The public school money apportioned to the town of Guilderland is nearly eight thousand dollars. 

NORMANSVILLE 

— Norman Terwelp who has been confined to the home with scarlet fever has recovered and is able to be out again. 

— A couple cases of diphtheria have developed in our neighborhood, one in the Bliveux family and the other in the Frank family. 

SLINGERLANDS 

The Harmony Circle will hold a clam chowder sale in the chapel of the Slingerlands M. E. church this afternoon. 

Feura Bush, South End 

Work on the stone quarry, the million dollar ice plant and the railroad yards is progressing rapidly, also the work of flooring the Jericho bridge. Many visitors passed through here on Sunday to look over the various enterprises. 

CLARKSVILLE 

— Earl Ingraham accidentally shot himself, the bullet passing through his leg. He is being treated in the Albany Hospital. 

— The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Willis McIntosh caught two of his fingers in the washing machine last week, almost severing one and cutting the other quite badly. Dr. Brown was required to take several stitches in the mangled finger and we hope that it will be as good as ever. 

— The Christian and Missionary Alliance held meetings four evenings at Delmar. Mrs. Grubbs, a missionary on furlough, gave a very interesting talk on China, the great need of the Gospel and teachers to instruct them. She had some beautiful embroidered work that is used in China to keep the Demon away, which is a constant fear to them. She wore a costume like the wives of the high officials wear. It was beautiful, beyond description. 

VILLAGE NOTES 

— In the last issue of the Enterprise in speaking about the state road from Altamont to Voorheesville we called this thoroughfare “Voorheesville Boulevard.” Perhaps we should have written it “Proposect Avenue” but that does not, to us, seem quite appropriate. Possibly “Altamont Boulevard” would be a better name. Send in your suggestions, as we wish to furnish the village clerk with this information at an early date. 

— Masonic hall rang with laughter at the wit and wisdom of the endmen of the Goodfellowship Minstrels, which held its first night of a two-night stand on Thursday. An appreciative audience of 250 welcomed the local boys who appeared in their new costumes, which were very unique and made the stage setting very attractive. The jokes on local folk were well received and caused much merriment. The singing by the chorus and the solo work was well executed. In fact it was so good a show as to warrant a packed house tonight, and the advance sale of tickets for this evening’s performance assures that. You will miss a great treat if you let this chance go by for a good hearty laugh and a full three hours’ enjoyment.
