DELANSON 

— A large Ku Klux Klan meeting was held in the village hall Tuesday March 10th. A very interesting lecture was given by Dr. George Palmer which was enthusiastically received and a very pretty and solemn sight was witnessed when two young children were christened. Three fiery crosses were burned on as many hills around the village. We have not heard that any of the people in the village pulled down their shades and locked their doors and we don’t think any one was tarred and feathered. The Klansmen do not propose to take the law out of the hands of the officers of the law, but they do stand for law enforcement. 

— William Letts is improving his property in town by replacing his porch with a much larger new one. It will be a very comfortable spot to sit and chat on a warm summer evening.

BERNE 

Wood sawing is the order of the day. 

SLINGERLANDS 

Women of this village have formed a gymnasium class which meets Thursday nights in the rooms of the Es-pe-co club. 

Goodfellowship Minstrel Show 

Next Thursday and Friday 

The sale of reserved seat tickets for the Goodfellowship Minstrels started off with a rush which has continued until only a few seats are left for each night. 

The past performances of this company of charcoal comedians is the reason. Everybody knows what to expect, but even this time there’ll be new ones to enjoy — songs, jokes, monologues, and end men doing their prettiest to bring smiles even to the most serious-faced residents of this village. It will be two happy evenings at Masonic Hall next week — Thursday and Friday. 

One of the members let us in on part of the program and we are giving it to you. 

Musical numbers to be rendered in the first half of the program include:
“Home in Pasadena” — Hole E. Smoke 

“Swanee River Blues” — Entire Company 

“If I Was What I Ain’t” — Moses Smokes 

“Red Hot Mama” — Rufus Rastus Brown 

“Plantation Moon” — Orifice Sneeze 

“I Don’t Want to Get Married” — Anthracite Cole

Editor’s note: We assemble items published in The Enterprise a century ago in the interest of accurately reflecting local history. The Enterprise does not condone activities of the Ku Klux Klan nor of “charcoal comedians” in minstrel shows. Rather, this lets us see where we’ve come from and how far we need to go.
