Hanly, but he failed to appear and of course there was a great deal of disappointment in consequence. Just what explanation is given for his non-appearance we are unable to learn. Hebron News: The business men of Demotte have been doing a great deal of work in bringing the matter of opening up a new road on a direct line from Hebron to that place. The proposed road seems to meet with favor and it can be shown that greater advantages are to come by the building of this four mile strip. The matter should have immediate attention. JA fine “April shower” came Mbnday night, and Tuesday was warm and balmy, like a day in spring. At night, however, the mercury took a sudden drop and Wednesday was quite cold with a few light flurries of snow, about the first snow flakes of the season. Thanksgiving was pleasant and the mercury was down below the freezing point all day, but the ground was bare. Cooney Kellner is also doing a little drilling and blasting out at the Iroquois south of town in enlarging and deeping his ice pond. He has had a steam drill at work there for several days and will put down about fifty holes, each six feet deep, and “shoot” them all at once. Cooney is spending considerable good money in preparing for the ice business and it would seem that he ought to be able to furnish the best ice next season ever sold in Rensselaer.He has built a large new ice house on the site of the former Warner ice house, which with several acres of ground he lately purchased, and has thoroughly cleaned out the old pond or river bfed which will be cut off by the new channel, but which he will, by the use of gates, be able to fill or empty at will. The ice that forms on this pond now should be about as near pure as it is possible for it to be.
