Norwood

 

April 2--A very pleasant evening was spent at the I.O.F. hall last Wednesday evening, the occasion being the anniversary of the court. George E. Bailey delivered an illustrated lecture on "The Boers and Their War." which was highly praised by all. The music rendered by the graphophone belonging to Bert E. Jones was also very pleasing. A smoker was held later in the evening and attended by over 50 of the members. Court Baldwin is one of the largest and best known courts in northern New York and is a great help to many persons in our village. The same evening a delegation of Odd Fellows went to Madrid and instituted a new lodge of Odd Fellows there.

The village Board met for organization on Monday evening, March 26th. The following appointments were made: William Frank, street commissioner; A. H. Latham, David C. Bix, John Ladue, J. J. Anable, police constables; C. W. Brownell chief engineer fire department; J. J. Anable, 1st assistant; W. H. Capron, 2nd assistant; R. D. Reed, A. H. Nickerson, W. W. Leonard, W. J. Fletcher, I. P. Vance, Wm. E. Dawson, board of health.

Ira Nichols, a very respected citizen of this place, was visited with a stroke of paralysis a few days ago and is in a very critical condition.

Samuel Phelps is visiting his parents, Mr. And Mrs. H. C. Phelps, on Main street.

Mr. Jacques has taken possession of the Whitney House, and is the new proprietor. Mr. Phelps has reserved rooms in the hotel and will remain there for the present.

Mrs. Seaver has rented the Fletcher & Harris store, corner of Main and Baldwin streets, heretofore occupied by Mrs. Brownell, and will conduct her millinery store there.

Prof. George Nulty is home for a vacation of a week.
