Arbor Day – October 24th was designated as Arbor and Bird Day in a proclamation by Gov. Pinchot.

Deuel and Paul Wood, of Montrose, and Harold VanHousen, of Brooklyn, tonsorial artists all, autoed to the metropolis on Monday and witnessed the Senators wallop the Giants, on Tuesday, at the Polo Grounds.

Enforcement Officers Making Raids – Local officers made several raids during the week. At Lawton, a gallon of alleged whisky was found on the premises of W. H, Millard, and two jugs of alleged liquor on the property of Bert Abbott. At Dimock, a search of the property of Timothy Rogan resulted in a quantity of hard cider being confiscated.

Little Meadows – Mrs. Mary Williams, aged 47, of this place, is believed by her husband, Frank, to have been a victim of the recent high waters in that vicinity. She disappeared from her home on Oct. 2nd and no trace of her has since been found. Mrs. Williams is described as five feet, three or four inches tall, weight 120 pounds, black hair, dark brown eyes and wore a green checked gingham dress, white sweater and boys’ soft brown hat. The grief-stricken husband can not account for her disappearance, except homesickness and ill health. Neighbors believe she has just strayed from home and is stopping with friends.

Susquehanna/Hallstead – The road between these two places has been closed to automobiles, due to the bridge, at Canavan’s, having been carried out by last week’s high water.

Dimock – Sneak thieves are putting in a little of their nefarious work. Button Brothers had been using a tractor to help fill silos and when they started to use it, they found it would not work. Upon investigation they found some one had stolen the gas and filled the tank with water. Mrs. Chas. Roberts and daughters put up 45 quarts of fruit. They left the cans on the back porch to cool over night and the next morning found every can had been stolen. One man reported that about half of his chickens had been taken, while others have lost grain and products.

[James Thompson was a former slave who joined and fought in a colored regiment during the Civil War.]
