Montrose – L. H. Sprout & Sons secured six Chevrolet cars from the factory at Tarrytown-on-the-Hudson the latter part of last week. These cars, fresh from the factory, were driven to Montrose over the Catskill Mountain region, where many of the roads had been just worked, on high gear, it not being necessary to throw the machines into low gear even on the steepest hills, a remarkable test of efficient construction. Four of the cars were speedily sold, the buyers being Bert Morgan and Henry Morgan, of Montrose; Arthur Topp, of Louden Hill farm, South Montrose, and Dwight Rhinevault, of Birchardville. ALSO Fifty-two persons will go on a special car [trolley] to Scranton to witness “The Birth of a Nation.”  The car will leave at 5:10 and arrive back about midnight. All are looking forward to a good photoplay and a fine scenic trip over the trolley line.

Heart Lake – Our opening dance was very well attended considering the fact that on Decoration Day it rained nearly all day. Realizing there were some who staid [stayed] at home on account of the bad weather, we have planned another dance on June 13th and look for a big crowd. Our dance floor has been waxed and is in A No. 1 condition. Come and bring your lady friends. Mack & Jenkins, Prop.

Brooklyn – In spite of the rain Tuesday a goodly number participated in the observance of Memorial Day. At 10 a.m., automobiles conveyed the veterans to Mountain View cemetery and Evergreen cemetery to decorate the graves. At 2 p.m. a drum corps led the march to the cemeteries in the village where after decorating the graves the ritualistic service of the G.A.R. was observed. At the M. E. church later a quartette furnished excellent music. Mrs. J. C. Miller read Lincoln’s Gettysburg address, Mrs. H. C. Tewksbury gave an appropriate reading and R. H. Holgate’s speech was greatly appreciated. ALSO When passing over the state road near Oakley’s garage, last Sunday, Glenn Voss, who was driving a touring car containing his wife, his father and mother, C. E. Voss and wife and his grandmother, suddenly found himself in a pocket in the road when attempting to pass some horse-driven vehicles, and a head-on collision resulted, striking an automobile driving by a lady whose name we have been unable to learn. The Voss car was badly injured and some of the occupants came home with A. W. Lyons, who happened to be nearby. The car driven by the lady was slightly injured, the fenders being bent and the lamps broken. No one was injured although given a bad scare when the gasoline steeds strenuously disputed the right of way.

South Harford – Automobiles seem to be getting to be the things. We sighted O. F. Maynard, of Harford, out with a new car, Clifton Brainard and O. F. Miller also; but they were not as swift as the three which went through here one day last week.

Alford – J. M. Decker, Alford’s postmaster, merchant, and proprietor of the Alford Blue Stone Co., has a business which is among the county’s large and prosperous industries—his pay roll each week running into handsome figures. Last month twelve car loads of curbing were shipped from Alford, and the business will run much heavier for the months to follow.  The quality of the stone from the Alford quarry is excellent and “repeat orders” take the product as fast as Mr. Decker can load same on the cars.
