NEW YORK’S GOVERNOR 

A BUSY EXECUTIVE
Governor Alfred E. Smith is a busy man these days with one eye on the presidential race and a desk full of bills, numbering over six hundred, awaiting his signature or veto as passed by the legislature, which adjourned last Friday morning after an all-night session. The rural school bill, which was one of the pieces of legislation that met the greatest opposition and had the most zealous advocates, passed in the Senate but died in committee in the Assembly. 

CLARKSVILLE
Farewell Party to Rev. 

J.G. Masel and Family 

Some of the friends of Rev. J. G. Masel and family gave them a farewell party, Friday night, in the church parlors. About seventy were present and many more would have been there had the roads been passable. 

Many people in the community will miss them. If in perplexity or need in any way, Mr. Masel or one of the family were always ready to assist, no matter how hard the problem. 

ESPERANCE

GUILDERLAND CENTER 

The big bake sale which the ladies of the Reformed church conducted in Barney’s Department store, Schenectady, on Saturday of last week, was a tremendous success. Great supplies of food of various kinds were taken into the city at an early hour and several ladies of the Social Union went over to sell the goods. They had a pleasant but busy time and a large patronage. The splendid sum of $102 was realized. The expenses were light.

— Makely Bros. are having two large steel tanks installed alongside of their garage on Maple avenue. Each has a capacity of 1,065 gallons. These tanks will be used for holding gasoline for the trade. They are making preparations to improve the entrance to their garage by concreting the entire front yard. This will be a fine improvement to the property.

— As the summer campers come up, they find that quite a few camps have been entered during the winter.
