Lenoxville – Elmer Ridgeway’s sale, held near Lenoxville, was one of the finest community picnics held in the county this year. In addition to being the most successful sale, it was a most enjoyable picnic. Between 500 and 800 people were there and enjoyed a free dinner which Mr. Ridgeway had provided by the Ladies’ Aid Society. A band of 15 pieces furnished music during the noon hour. The sale commenced at 1:30 and by 3:20 eighty grade cows were sold. They sold 25 cows in thirty minutes to start with. Mr. Ridgeway had been careful in the selection of his live stock and his sale was a big credit to him. The highest price paid for a grade cow was $265 and the average price was between $175 and $200. The first registered cow to be sold, untested, went for $700. During the latter part of the sale it was difficult to get the people quiet and a real picnic resulted, and for this reason the registered cattle did not bring the money that was anticipated. Thirty-five head of registered cattle were sold with an average of over $400.

Springville – An event of great importance in the history of the progressive town of Springville will occur Nov. 1st, the opening of the First National Bank of Springville, for business.

But the town has been handicapped for banking facilities and now, fortunately, these have been provided, filling a real community need. It will have a burglar proof vault and safe deposit boxes. The bank is officiated as follows: D. D. Layton, president; L. B. Johnson, vice-president; W. F. Barron, cashier.

Waters on Nov. 10th, being the elapse of one year to that date since he gave up his life on the western front. A historical sketch of the life of another one of Jackson’s fallen heroes, in a former war, Myron French, who gave up his life in the battle of Gettysburg, will also be read. Two short talks will also be presented by a Civil War veteran and a World War veteran. The purpose of the meeting is to arouse and keep up a spirit of patriotism in the schools by starting what is hoped will be a local Memorial day to be observed by the public schools each year on the 10th of November.

Lake View – Every day since the airships started on their trans-continental flight we have seen one or more going in either direction. Three have been almost as many airships as autos in the past week.

Thompson – Praises and appreciation came from every quarter on Jackson street and are aimed directly at Walter Brown for the beautiful flood of light from his new electric light which sheds forth its rays so abundantly as to light every house for some distance each way, making his residence the center of attraction at evening time. Such darkness as prevails over most of our Borough prevents many from attending evening service or doings of any kind.

Forest City – Rev. H. L. Renville, Dr. H. R. Bell, L. J. Wells, H. L. Bayless and Charles Allen, returned from a bear hunt in Pike county, Saturday afternoon.
