cay evening, Mar. I'd. The enter
tainment is for the benefit of the
band and they intend to make it
worthy the attendance of all.
The people of West Albany and
vicinity have just reason to be proud
of the fine exhibit of costly work in
rare designs of monuments in granite
and marble in the new cemetery near
the village. Last week the firm of
johnson & Allen of Barton Landing
placed a memorial tablet on the lot of
VIM. HI. Blasdell, to mark the resting
place of his wife. This piece of
work is pronounced by competent
judges to be the best in the state;
it is executed in part from a unique
design proposed by Mr.. Blasdell and
shows excellent taste. 1t is a great
addition to this attractive resting
place of the dead, and does credit to
the manufacturers.
East Albany.
Hiram Hunter recently had barn
crushed by the weight of snow.
The donation for Rev. R. w. Col
Inns Melted S38 and was very agree
able to all in a social sense.
Miles Chaffee, who was lately mar
ried to Miss Ellen Way, moves back
on to his farm and carries on Mr..
Ways farm also. Mr.. Way who is
losing his eyesight will go to live
with Mr.. Chaffee.
The location of the Free Baptist
church is bone of contention, which
threatens to distract the church.
Since the church was built, many who
formerly attended it and lived north
and west of its present location have
died and moved away, so that the
church building is now on the ex-
IRENE north of the parish. Hence
there is a general feeling that the.
old church ought to be removed, or a
new one built at or near East Albany
postoffice. The friends near the old
church naturally wish to retain the
church there, but it is presumed that
they will yield when they see that
the good of the denomination and the
cause demands the change.
