KLAN MEETING HELD
WEST OF QUAKER STREET
It would appear that quite a number of Altamont men received invitations to attend a Ku Klux Klan meeting, which took place on the farm of Miss Merle Sheldon, west of Quaker Street, Thursday night of last week, from conversations heard during the last few days, but yet we have not met any who attended from this village. 

The meeting was held and three burning crosses illumined the scene. It is reported that fully 1,500 people came in automobiles from far and near and a very interesting session was held. Just what took place will have to be told by someone who had the good fortune to be present during the meeting. Altamont was busy with the big fair and consequently did not enthuse over the prospect of the Klan meeting. 

THREE MILE CENTER

— Farmers are busy now-a-days with silos, fruit, buckwheat. The latter seems to promise a good crop. 

— Samuel McCulloch has sold his sheep to Ernest McCafferty. 

WEST BERNE 

Those attending the Altamont Fair report a profitable and enjoyable time. Those staying over especially enjoyed the display of fire works. 

DELANSON 

— People coming into our village who know we are incorporated wonder why we are not asked to cut the weeds and brush along the streets and other places. 

— The village people were quite alarmed Saturday afternoon when the fire bell rang, as a great many of the men were in attendance at the Leis Olmstead funeral, but it was very fortunate, they were just returning from the cemetery and all responded at once. The fire was in the upper room of George Borst’s house on West street. The chemical engine did the good work: while they had the hose laid from the hydrant in front of Mr. Foot’s residence, it was not needed. No great damage was done to the houses.
BERNE
The first heavy frost arrived on Tuesday night. It has held off well but the corn crop would have been better if it had stayed away another week. Most of the buckwheat is cut but very little corn is harvested yet. 

VILLAGE NOTES 

Mrs. Frank S. Lape, who was run down by an automobile Wednesday evening, is resting comfortably at her home today. The accident occurred in front of the residence of A. S. Stoll, on lower Main street. Mrs. Lape and her son had stopped their car to deliver a package at the Stoll home. Mrs. Lape started to cross the road, stepping out from beyond her car in front of a car approaching from Albany. The driver of the car did not see her until her cries attracted his attention. The fender struck Mrs. Lape, throwing her to the roadway. She suffered considerably from shock and from bruises. She was removed to her home, where she is under the care of Dr. A. I. Cullen. 

CLARKSVILLE
