Uniondale - Baldwin & O'Brien have reduced the price of milk to 57 cents per can at Uniondale. Farmers begin to feel like kicking. While the price is low, the indications are that there will be another reduction in price ere long.

Forest City - The man who was elected [tax] collector of Forest City did not take the office and there was some difficulty in filling the place as the office of collector there is no softsnap. Julius Freedman, a wide awake citizen, has come to the rescue and was appointed tax collector for Forest City by the court.

Montrose - Montrose played the second game of the series with Gt. Bend, Decoration Day, and the game proved to be a very interesting one, although the ground was in bad condition. The Montrose team showed marked improvement over their last game. The batting of (Milky) Hollister was a winner for the home team and we trust he will continue the good stick work. Curran, who has taken the dentist's position, is right as home and the manner in which he catches the horse-ride meets the approval of the crowd. Smith is coming along the line O.K., with his high-ins, but we think he might adjust his uniform in the light as he would not be so apt to get the wrong stockings. Hart, who is taking care of first base, had a (Hart) time of it, and we anticipate good results from him hereafter. Carey at 2nd base is buckling in to all that comes his way. Shafer is rather a short stop, to be (Frank) with you, and is also doing nice stick work. Rafferty has taken up a new position at 3rd, and he is giving good satisfaction so far. Warriner, Westfall and Hollister, out in the green grass, are always ready for a fly to come their way, and we think they will do if they stop making those goo goo eyes at the fair maidens, as they pass by. Score 5 to 4 in favor of Montrose.

Springville - Henry Williams has a little team of ponies that are fairly good travelers. He and Mr. Baldwin were down at Tunkhannock recently and started on the return trip at 2:15 o'clock, arriving here ahead of Geo. Alleman's train. Of course we do not wish to intimate that river water had anything to do with it, 'cause Henry aint built that way.

Auburn Corners - One morning last week Tom Berry's colt, becoming tired of waiting for the milk, started for the creamery without driver or wagon. Imagine his disgust when he was overtaken and had to go back and get the wagon when he had nearly reached the corners.

Lawsville - The memorial services held in the church here Memorial day were quite well attended considering the stormy days previous.
