Lenox Twp. – The Government will supply free to any person willing to pay for crating and transporting any number of mule deer that they may order, has encouraged Clarence Pratt and a number of his neighbors to see if there is enough sporting blood in this vicinity to stock a deer park in the vicinity of Pratt’s Hollow. The plan is to secure a tract of land containing some 300 acres that is adapted to the raising and feeding of deer. They propose to organize a company composed of sportsmen and buy the tract, enclose it with a wire fence, and bring in a half carload of deer offered by the Government. The deer are to be protected by the company, and in the hunting season the surplus game are to be shot off, each member of the company having the right to shoot one animal. It is expected that the deer will increase very rapidly. Mr. Pratt and several others have been talking with many of our sportsmen and state that the prospect is meeting with favor.

Gibson – Miss Bessie Senior and Irving Courtright were united in marriage at the home of the bride, Nov. 3, 1924, by Rev. S. D. Clarke. A “horning” was held at the home of Irwin Courtright in honor of the couple. A very enjoyable time was had by all after which they all went to the P. O. S. of A. hall and had a dance. [A “horning” or “shivaree” is otherwise known as a noisy mock serenade by a group of people.] ALSO The Ladies’ Aid will meet at the home of H. H. Davis on Nov. 13. The men are invited to come and cut wood for the church and will be given a free dinner.

Montrose – Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Honeyman gave a supper for the local directors of the Montrose Bible Conference, at Torrey Lodge, demonstrating what had been produced during the past year on about 2½ acres of land. Forty varieties of canned goods have been put up from the season’s products, along with conserves, jellies, pickles, vinegar, boiled cider and grape juice. Large quantities of corn, tomatoes, cabbages, etc., have been sold to the people of the town, yet notwithstanding, about a ton of vegetables have been canned and labeled and made ready for the conferences next summer. In addition, the Honeyman’s took charge of restoring an old and neglected orchard, pruning and spraying the trees and fifteen good varieties of apples have been gathered from them. ALSO W. W. Reynolds’ Department Store offers Krispy-Krust Bread—made clean—clean baked—sold clean. Large loaf, 11 cents.

South Ararat – Clifford Sampson and brother-in-law, Mr. Paddleford, of Binghamton, were here Sunday to see about making their Fiddle Lake cottage secure for the winter. While coming down the hill, near Wm. Starbird’s, the steering gear broke and the car bounded from one side of the road to the other, plunged into the ditch, then up the bank, plowing quite a deep furrow in the ground and stopped. Fortunately no one was hurt. The two men were the only occupants. They went to Burnwood and took the afternoon train for Binghamton and will look after “Lizzie” later on.

Susquehanna – It is rumored that the shop special, leaving daily at 4:15 p.m., will not run after the first of the year, thus leaving the men a two to three-hour wait until the 6 p.m. flier leaves. As several hundred men from Hallstead, Great Bend and Binghamton work in Susquehanna and ride on the train, it will be very inconvenient and tiresome waiting each day and if this train is discontinued it will work as a detriment to Susquehanna, as well as other places, as no good road connects Susquehanna and Hallstead. On completion of the Conklin yards and shops of the Lackawanna, it is stated that the Lackawanna contemplates running a work train to Hallstead. As the majority of these men working at Susquehanna are skilled men with many years’ experience, owning and operating their own homes, it would leave their places to be filled with less competent help, as the present road between Hallstead and Susquehanna is impassable to motor travel part of the year. The work train, at present, is the only means of reaching home to wash and rest up after a busy day’s work.
