Out of the Past There will be no town dog tax this year. Mr. W. Pautler has bought a nice farm near Swormville from George Snyder. The farm contains sixty acres and the price paid was $105 per acre. Last Thursday afternoon, Mr. Adam Daigler has the misfortune to upset a load of straw in front of Spaulding's blacksmith shop. Miss Hattie Eggleston, the new assistant teacher at the Academy, is getting along nicely, being highly spoken of by the pupils. On last Monday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Busch, of the Erie County Alms House, agreeably entertained a number of their friends in honor of the anniversary of Mr. Busch's birthday, he having reached the age of forty years. Joseph Leffler of Amherst has been chosen as a collector by the Board of Directors of the Erie and Niagara County Farmers Association. Mr. Joseph Wetzel has rented Mr. George Hirsch's saloon, and will take possession April 1st. This move, however, will not interfere with Mr. Wetzel's painting trade. A grocer in Watertown, N.Y., has received $65 in a letter, which stated that the money was stolen from him seven years ago.
"'Did you see the moon over your right shoulder, my dear?' said the girl to the boy as they roamed down the walk. 'No, not exactly,' he replied. 'But I saw the old man over my left shoulder, and I'll bid you good-night.'"
Chicken thieves are again active in Williamsville. George L. Helfter was robbed of 10 of his large hens and Benjamin Lapp, living west of the village, reports about 18 fowls being taken from his coop the same night. Friends of Brigadier-General William F. Schohl are advocating his candidacy on the Republican ticket for the office of justice of the Supreme Court. As an Amherst resident whose accomplishments have continually brought favorable attention to our town, many of his townspeople would be delighted to have this new honor come to him, thinking it deservedly bestowed. "Prince" is no more. So dearly loved was he in the family where he lived for nine years, that though he was only a dog . . . he was nearly a village institution. He was known to so many and admired community-wide, that his end on Sunday meant the missing of something which appeared as a part of the everyday routine.
The program for the Black and White Review to benefit welfare work in Amherst tonight and tomorrow night will include "Happy Days are Here Again" by Edward Mann; "Mammy" by Lewis Saunders; "River Stay Away My Door" by Eduard F. Metz; and "Swanee" by Arthur Landsheft. The Town of Amherst will have a 40-man police department when the four men who were appointed by the Town Board begin their duties on Feb. 8. The four men are Kenneth J. Braun, Loyal J. Carr, Robert G. Helmer and Richard J. Ruddock. Volunteers of the Getzville Fire Company had a busy day this past Tuesday. A fire was discovered about 8:30 a.m. at the new home at 151 Donna Lea. Chief Louis Berger ordered a second alarm, summoning the Snyder Fire Department. The first hydrant worked all right, but the next nearest hydrant was found to be frozen. The Snyder men built a bonfire around the hydrant, and within a short time, it was thawed out.
Both young and old are enjoying the outdoor ice skating rink built by Pearce & Pearce at the corner of Getzville and Woodbury roads. A parents committee has been formed to represent the Williamsville South High School class of 1983 in its campaign to have graduation ceremonies returned to the school lawn. Last year, for the first time in history, the event was moved from the school to the Buffalo Convention Center. Ray Collins of Snyder was recently inducted into the Society of Professional Journalists at St. Bonaventure University. |
