Jackson - Elbert I. Whitney, a prominent and lifelong Jackson farmer, dropped dead, last Saturday, while walking along the side of the road, near his home. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis M. Whitney, a descendent of an early Jackson pioneer family. His mother was Julia Belcher and father was for many years engaged in business in Jackson and Ararat, as a farmer, hotelman and drover.

Fairdale - A pretty wedding took place on April 3, in the Fairdale M. E. church, when Miss Hilda Downer became the bride of Tracey R. Jenner. The bride looked charming in a gown of tan georgette crepe over pink satin, with hose to match, and black satin slippers. ALSO Another couple was married here on March 31st. Clarence Bomboy, of Friendsville, and Miss Dorothy Graham, of Rush, were united in marriage by Rev. O. B. Young.

Montrose - St. Paul’s Episcopal church, who purchased the Odd Fellows block, is advertising for bids for the removal of the building, which is said to be about 100 years old. The father of Atty. D. T. Brewster, the late Horace Brewster, was one of the carpenters who worked on it and some of the lumber used in its construction is from the Brewster farm, in Bridgewater. Known as a “plank house,” it has 3” hemlock planks, which were used as sheathing for the three-story wooden building. Thoughts are that it could also be moved on another lot and utilized as an apartment house. ALSO DeWitt Andre, a student at Penn State College, is spending the Easter vacation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd S. Andre.

Ararat - Bandmaster, John Bell, of the Navy Band, and former piccolo soloist of Sousa’s band, is at home in Carbondale, for Easter, and will be on the program at Trinity Episcopal church. How time does fly. It seems only two years ago that John was Bandmaster of the Ararat Silver Cornet Band, of Ararat Summit. B’gosh and now he is distinguished as a bandmaster in the “President’s Own,” the United States Navy Band, and sometimes, when the band has been playing for the president, John lets the president shake hands with him and congratulate him.

Hop Bottom - A handsome, modern eating house, is to be erected near here, opposite the Lackawanna Motor Club spring, which gushes down to the Lackawanna Trail. It will cater especially to tourists. The building will have a cabaret floor in the center.

Middletown Twp. - Our supervisor, O. F. McDonough, was out with a force of men opening the road of snow, which has been blocked since Feb, 4th. The method used was two teams hitched to a lumber wagon, and a large land plow, attached to the wagon, which gave very satisfactory results. Much credit should be given to Leo M. Conboy and John Maloney, who furnished the horse-power, as it was most strenuous work for horses.

Little Meadows - The auction sale held by Joseph Reardon, March 23d, was largely attended. Mr. Reardon and family are moving to Endicott. The people of this vicinity are sorry to see them go.
