Springville – Wanted—in Springville—a physician to settle permanently. In the summer, nearly every family having an automobile it is not so bad, but the winters, when all roads are blocked with snow drifts and trains irregular and miles from a doctor, it is not a pleasant prospect.

Hallstead – Our merchants will close their stores Wednesday afternoons during July and August, so that the proprietors and clerks may enjoy a half-holiday during the heated period. The Wednesday afternoon closing is becoming quite general and parties planning shopping tours to nearby towns should learn in advance whether or not stores are open on that afternoon. The Scranton postoffice is agitating the matter of closing Saturday afternoons, during the warm weather, giving clerks and carriers an opportunity to secure a little recreation.

Forest Lake – The following Camp Fire Girls occupied the E. J. Smith cottage at the lake last week: Misses Peggy Sayre, Helen Minkler, Virginia Avery, Rosetta Arnold and Cynthia Brewster.

Great Bend – The Great Bend borough building, used as a lockup and hose house for many years, has been sold by the borough to Hall & Nichols of that place for $526.

Susquehanna – Early Tuesday morning two calves were stolen from a barn on the John Hilborn farm, Riverside drive, near this place. An attempt was made to take other calves in the barn, but it appears that the nerve of the robbers deserted them. The animals were tied with chains and these were taken with the animals. It is probable that parties with a truck perpetrated the robbery. These frequent robberies should warn people of rural districts to see that property, which can be carried off, is protected from such unscrupulous parties. Motor vehicles make it easier to perpetrate such robberies than ever before and it is well to “lock the barn before the horse is stolen.”

Montrose – On June 29 the D. A. R. will present the great Cosmopolitan picture, “When Knighthood was in Flower,” starring beautiful Marion Davies. The amount realized will be added to the fund for the Revolutionary Soldiers’ Bronze Memorial Tablet to be placed in the Court House. More than 3000 actors appear in one scene and the picture was filmed at a cost of over $1,200,000. The wedding dress alone, worn by Miss Davies when she, as Princess Mary Tudor, became the bride of old Louis X11, of France, cost $1,500 and is so heavily laden with gems it weighs 28 lbs. The book is on the high school required reading list.

Harford – Reginald E. Lewis, of Tiffany and Rachel W. Tingley, of New Milford, were united in marriage at the home of the pastor of the Congregational church, June 14, 1923. The groom is the son of Ernest Lewis, owner of the large poultry ranch on the Montrose Trail, with who he is in partnership. The bride is well known in Harford and New Milford and is the daughter of H. J. Tingley. She was prettily attired in grey silk Canton crepe and fox furs.

Dimock – Miss Rose Williams has gone to Kingsley where she has a good position in the hotel owned by Mr. Stearns, the father of her old teacher here. ALSO Dimock won the ball game from Springville, the undefeated team of the season, score standing 15-0. The Dimock team was in fine form and Proper and Benninger, as battery, were effectual at all times. Proper did splendid pitching from start to finish. The work of Decker on first base was superb, while second base was excellently covered by Sherman. Siply made a home run, but space does not permit proper mention of the feature hits. A good delegation was present from Rush to witness the game.

Forest City – On June 12 about 100 children, pupils of the Forest City schools, took the Toxin-Anti-toxin treatment.
