Harford - An electric meeting was held in town Wednesday evening. A gentleman from New York held forth on the advantage and after estimating probable cost, concluded that $20,000 would cover it. AND Prof. W.L. Thatcher, of Harford, was in town Thursday. The Professor remarked while here that the project to build an electric railroad from Harford village to Kingsley was still a booming and that a company had offered to build the road for $20,000.


Lanesboro - Our popular butcher, Mr. Kotz, is preparing to build a very nice residence this summer.


Silver Lake - Col. James West has sent for a new kind of potato this spring, which is claimed to be superior to any planted in this place. To Mr. West belongs the credit of introducing very fine varieties of this valuable root already.


Clifford - Our trout fishermen have generally had a healthy ride, a wet tramp along the creek and a light load home.

Great Bend - Milo Guernsey, keeper of the toll bridge, who many years ago lost his left arm in a railroad service, is yet a worker of no mean order. Not long since he cut down one of the largest trees on the riverbank, and without help, sawed it into proper lengths, and split into stove wood.


Susquehanna - Erie passenger brakemen are to wear black silk caps this summer in place of the troublesome white ones.
