Montrose - It would appear from the frequency with which the ordinance is violated that many of our citizens do not know that bicycle riding on the sidewalks and crosswalks within the borough limits is expressly prohibited, as is also the drawing, pushing or driving any cart or wheelbarrow on the said sidewalks and cross-walks. AND - Late Saturday evening two young men from the vicinity of Coon's Crossing, who were somewhat under the influence of liquor, indulged in reckless driving about town, whipping their horse, and letting forth lusty war whoops. Their pastime came to a sudden end when Officer Tingley got hold of the horse's bridle and brought [it] to a standstill. One of the young men took to his heels, but the other was taken into custody and was not released until about noon on Sunday when his father came to town and settled the fine and costs. The law against fast driving on the streets of Montrose is almost daily violated by some of our local horsemen and occasionally by out-of-town parties.

Clifford - Roscoe Sheridan had an exciting experience in Carbondale. He went to town in the morning with a load of produce drawn by his spirited team of horses. The horses became frightened and jumped to one side, overturning the wagon and Mr. Sheridan fell under it, sustained some severe injuries. His left arm was cut badly and Dr. S. S. Shields found the main artery severed. He was also badly bruised about the body.

Birchardville - After a year's absence beyond the "Rockies" S. B. Warner is again among us. His old friends and acquaintances are glad to greet him, for Stanly was always a kind and obliging neighbor. He was accompanied by his sister Ruth and her husband, Edwin Taylor, who emigrated to the Pacific Slope 39 years ago. This is their first visit to their old home. It is quite likely they made a quicker trip in returning than they did in going. AND - It is said more soldiers are buried in the Birchardville cemetery than any other one in the county, excepting Montrose.

Harford - The 100th anniversary of the Congregational church was celebrated June 15th. It was a grand success, not a stone was left unturned. W. L. Thacher gave the historical address; he is an historian of rare ability and as usual it was very interesting. In his address we notice many remarkable changes and one thing which attracts our attention is the fact that during the 100 years only six ministers have been called to this church, Rev. Adam Miller having served from 1828 to 1881. Words of greeting and remembrance were given by Rev. W. S. Fritch, pastor of the Mother church at Attleborough, who also sent, as delegates, John Thacher and wife, direct descendants of Rev. Peter Thacher, first minister of the Attleborough church, as also is Harford's honored scholar, Prof. W. L. Thacher. Rev. F. J. Goodwin, pastor of the Sister church at Pawtucket, also spoke.
