Local business and community notes in a small town
Farmers begin haying as crops and fruits show good yields despite a backward season and frost. Merchants and lumbermen stay optimistic about finances. Sunday services are held at the Congregational church at 3 PM and 7:30 PM led by Elder Salmonds and Rev S L Bennett. A Monday rain shower cooled the air and aided hay, though it hindered some grass. The Willing Workers meet weekly and attract sustained youth and elder participation with essays, songs, and recitations. Dr. Shannon runs a drug business. Elder Salmonds serves as a justice of the peace in matrimonial affairs. Local residents include Wil Jackson visiting from Harrisburg to Elmira, John Durfield of Erie, and guests from Columbus and Elgin Ohio. Construction on a new dwelling by Wm Baker progresses.
