Springville – Announcement has been made that the Dairymen’s League Co-Operative Association will erect a modern milk station here. The association has appropriated $30,000 for the erection of such a plant and work will be started soon. For some time the milk situation here has been unsatisfactory to dairymen, as the Newark Milk & Cream Co., which operated the creamery at that place, had refused to recognize the “poolers” as an association and as a result the poolers had been drawing their milk to the Baker creamery. This followed the burning of the milk station there a year ago.

R., intends placing a bronze tablet in the Court House with names of all continental soldiers on it who lived or died in this county, soldiers who largely made the early settlements in Susquehanna county.

The Chapter is asking for additions or corrections in order that the list is complete and correct.

Susquehanna/Montrose – Charles Knise, a well-known barber at this place, recently retired after running a shop for 38 years. This fact prompted a reporter to query of Montrose’s veteran barber, Albert Miller, how long he had conducted his shop here. Mr. Miller responded that in September 1886—nearly 37 years ago—he started his shop where he is now located. He has been almost constantly at work, rarely taking a vacation. Mr. Miller may outdistance Mr. Knise, as he is still about as handy with razor, clippers and scissors as any young man you can find. Talking with him he said that only a short time ago H. P. Read remarked that he was observing his 48thyear in the mercantile business, making both real living institutions in the community.

Weather – We are certainly having our six weeks of cold weather as prophesized by the old bear on the second of February. Snow is about two feet on the level and still falling; automobiles are a thing of the past, or future, for travel, as the roads are only passable for sleighs or walking. One brave autoist recently left the trail at Kingsley for Harford, but had gone but a short distance when stalled in a snowdrift, much to his sorrow. Of course he was pulled out by a team of good, old horses and he and his auto returned to the trail and will probably not try any more cross country trips until the good old summertime.

Forest Lake – A crowd of forty-three of both young and old gathered at the home of Frank Coy to serenade his son, Floyd, and his bride. After serenading for about half an hour, the happy couple could not be found in the house, but was later discovered in the crowd, making as much noise a the rest. Leave that to Floyd. The company was invited in and treated to cigars, candy, popcorn and apples. [In 19th century rural America, a newly married couple might be treated to a mock serenade, performed with pots, pans, homemade instruments and other noisemakers. Often called a shivaree.]
