Mr. and Mrs. Vanarsdel wish to return heartfelt thanks to all those who so kindly assisted them in the sickness, death and burial of their beloved son.

A large and interested crowd gathered at the school house last Saturday evening to witness the entertainment and Old Hat supper given by the school for the benefit of their library fund. Many of them came from Rensselaer and the surrounding country. A long program, consisting of dialogues, declamations, music etc., was well prepared and each one executed their part satisfactory to all present. After the entertainment next came the selling of the hats by Auctioneer Felix Erwin. The amusing feature of this part of the occasion was the trimming of the hats by the gentlemen who purchased them, and the lady who brought the hat wearing it to the supper. Quite a number of hats were sold and everybody seemed bent on having an enjoyable time, when suddenly things were marred by the fistic encounter that took place and on this account many left for home. Thus the receipts were not as large as they would have been. It is understood the parties engaged in this disturbance will have to answer to the law for their little fun.
