The annual village meeting was held
Monday evening, a fair number being
present. The reports OF the trustees
showed that they had paid off all the
debt Of the corporation and had a
small sum in the treasury. The report
Of the water commissioners showed
that they expended quite large sum
last year in extending water service
amount a little over $1O5O, the inter
est to 1920. The repairs last year were
very slight. The old board Of trustees,
commissioners and other officers was
retained.
Death has not ceased it's sad work
in our community: Mrs. Guy E. Row
the effects Of pneumonia, following a
hard attack Of the grip. She was
taken violently i'll at the start, and
though she had the best Of care from
physicians and friends, nothing could
stay the progress of the disease. She
was buried from her late home on
Thursday, Rev. A. A. Smith officiating
at the funeral. Mrs. Rowell was a
woman beloved by all who came to
know her. She was useful in every
sphere Of kindness and good, where she
had opportunity to make her influence
felt. Her loss to Mr.. Rowel is irrep-
arabic and a great sorrow to her chill
dren. Her sons, Martin and Guy, and
her daughters, Carrie, Bessie and
Nellie, reached home before her death.
She left five sons, two of whom are in
California, and four daughters, all
present during her sickness and bur-
ial. The sympathy of the community
is extended to the afflicted family.
A somewhat exciting runaway of
teams occurred in this village on Tues
day last: Theodore Skinner of Albany
drove into the grist- mill shed and
fed his horse. AS he backed the ami
imal out to put on his bride and start
Off, train came along and the horse
concluded to leave Theodore without
ceremony. He struck down Main St.,
to bring up where nearly
all runaway teams usually stop,
against the Nelson block Somehow
he knocked off one the forward wheels
of the buggy, ran close against sever
al teams, and was making the best
time when he passed the post office.
1t happened that Lige Norton was in
the road, just turning his team, when
the frightened animal dashed into his
turned it topsy- turvy and set
the Norton horse off on the run.
The collision threw the Skinner horse
fiat down and SO tangled him up in
the thills that he could not get up.
Meanwhile the Norton horse made
straight line for the bank--probabl
he was going in after some of the
Geo. Spaulding checks. He passed
close between two teams and passed
with the buggy bottom side up on to
the sidewalk in front of the bank, and
up on to the piazza, where he stopped,
kicking and prancing as best he could,
being still held to the overturned bug
gy. Some children on the piazza, ex-
actly where the horse brought up,
lodged out of the way and were not
hurt. Both horses were seized and
held till liberated and neither seemed
very seriously hurt. The Skinner bug
gy lost a wheel and the Norton buggy
was pretty well smashed, but, all
things considered, it was very for
5unate escape from danger and acct
dent to many who were scattered
along the streets and sidewalks.
