Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State October 2-1874 part 1 Local Record. Several Communications unavoidably deferred. Who wants a store? Mrs. DONOGHUE offers hers for sale or to rent. Back Again.-Mr. FELL has returned to Batavia, and resumed business at his old rooms. Mr. Eli PECK, of North Alexander, died at his residence on Monday last, 28th inst., aged about 70 years. A Good Eel of a story: The Orleans 'Democrat' says: "An eel weighing thirteen pounds was caught at the head of Stillwater, near Waterport, on Wednesday last, by Mr. WHIPPLE, of Elba, Genesee County." The Annual Meeting of the Vigilant Society of Bethany and Stafford will be held at East Bethany on Saturday, Oct. 10th, 1874, at 2 o'clock, p.m. Three young men were arrested, brought before Esquire JOHNSON and convicted of purloining a boat belonging to Addison FOSTER. They were fined $5 each, with the alternative of 20 days in jail in case of non-payment. Burglary.-The house of Mr. Charles KNILL was broken into one night last week, and a number of carpenters' tools belonging, respectively, to E.M. SHERWIN, R.W. CRAIG, and John PRESSCOTT, who had been doing work upon the house, were stolen. A liberal rainstorm, and very much needed, occurred here on Sunday and Monday, and another on Tuesday night and Wednesday of this week. The fall sown wheat will be greatly benefited, the grass looks greener and our farmer friends look happier. Rev. D.H. MULLER, who was appointed by the Conference held here this week, to the First Methodist church, Rochester, is, we are told, only to remain there a part of the year. Don't know who will be sent to fill his place for the balance of the year. + Accident at the Depot.-On Saturday evening last, a train on the Canandaigua road was being made up here, and one of the cars being uncoupled from the train, a young man named George KNOWLES, of Hartford, but formerly of this place, attempted to step from one to another, both being still in motion. In so doing, he slipped and fell on the track, the wheels passing over both feet, cutting off the tips of the toes of the right one, and crushing the left below the ankle. It was at first thought necessary to amputate the crushed foot, but at last accounts it is likely to be saved. + Mr. S. S. PARKER, Jr., of Alabama, brought to this market forty bushels of beans of the "Red Kidney" variety, one day last week. Now, how much money do you suppose he received for the forty bushels? You don't know, of course. Well, he received one hundred and forty dollars--three dollars and a half a bushel. The forty bushels were raised on two and a half acres of land. A profitable crop that. The PARKERS are heavy on beans. We understand that he will have five hundred bushels of two other varieties this season. You can't fool "Old Parker"--much. -Medina 'Democrat' + Elba.--On Wednesday evening, 23d inst., Rev. T.F. PARKER talked for temperance to a large audience here, and Prof. George CHAMBERS sang to the same audience in behalf of the same cause. Speaking and singing both good and highly appreciated. Some of our people are, so we are informed, moving for aid to rebuild the hotel here. Some $400 or $500 are reported subscribed. + Bergen.-The funeral of the late Nettie GIFFORD took place at the Congregational church, on last Friday afternoon. The church was crowded with sympathising friends. The Sunday School class, of which the deceased was a member, attended in a body. The Rev. J. BUTLER, of Fairport, preached a sermon full of consolation to the afflicted family and friends. The Sabbath following, appropriate reference was made to the loss we had experienced, by the Superintendent of the School, J.D. DOOLITTLE. Joseph CHIPMAN died at his residence in Bergen, Friday evening, Sept. 25th, 1874 aged 72 years. Mr. CHIPMAN was a native of Stockbridge, Mass. He removed to Bergen in 1816, and settled on the farm. + to be cont'd. submitted by Linda C. Schmidt *********************************************

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Feb 15, 1915 TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF GENEVA MILK Experiment Station and Board of Health Co-operate Geneva, Feb. 14 - Acting upon the suggestion advanced at a recent meeting of the Board of Health, it has been decided that through a joint action of the Board of Health and the Experiment Station a movement has been launched which it is hoped will eventually further improve the quality of the milk supply of the city and possibly may secure for the producers an increased price for their milk in proportion to its quality. The means, which it is hoped will bring about this end, is a bacteriological study of the milk supply of the city that is being made by the Experiment Station with the approval of the Board of Health. Dr. Robert S. BREED, the dairy expert at the station, is in charge of the work and has conferred with Health Officer Dr. Charles D. McCARTHY. The purpose of the study, as far as the Experiment Station is concerned, is to secure an opportunity to test out, in a practical way, the direct microscopic method of determining the amount of bacteria in milk. This new method was advocated last year by Dr. BREED as a substitute for the so-called "plate technique" which heretofore has been generally used. The dairy companies are interested in the work as it will provide them with data, relating to the quality of the milk that they receive from the producers, while the producers are interested through the phase of the proposition that they may secure an increased compensation on the basis of quality. * NUNDA BUSINESS MAN VICTIM OF HOLDUP Gives His Assailant Some Fight and Saves His Wad Mount Morris, Feb. 14 - Deputy Sheriff O'LEARY, of this village, received word last night from the Nunda authorities that Oscar WILLARD, a well known business man of that place, had been knocked down by an unknown thug, who was headed for Mount Morris. He was minus a hat when last seen, having lost his head gear in the struggle with his victim whom he evidently thought it would be an easy matter to relieve of his wallet. Officer O'LEARY has not yet located any one answering to the description. According to the report WILLARD was attacked in Main street early in the evening and although he received a heavy blow on the head he was able to resist until assistance was at hand and the would-be robber was obliged to beat a hasty retreat.

GOODMAN, aged 19 years, died at the home of his parents at BUMP's hill, in the town of Alexander, at 5 o'clock this morning from hemorrhage of the brain. The young man had been working in the MINOR shoe Factory and had been living his sister, Mrs. M. G. DENNIS of No. 3 Evans street. On Friday morning GOODMAN went to work as usual, but when his sister, who was away from home, returned at noon, she found him in bed ill. He went home about 10 o'clock. The sister went out again in the afternoon and when she returned at night she found the young man unconscious. On Saturday morning Dr. RICE was summoned, but the youth's parents are Christian Scientists and the father said he believed in the higher powers and did not want medical aid. He simply wanted to know what the trouble was. Yesterday the young man was removed to his parents' home in Alexander. He died without regaining consciousness. Coroner SNOW was notified and went to Alexander this afternoon. He has directed that an autopsy be performed by Dr. SPOFFORD of Batavia and Dr. MILLER of Alexander. - - - - - - - - - - February 5, 1907 Young GOODMAN's Death. Myron G. DENNIS's Theory-Result of the Post Mortem Examination Myron G. DENNIS of No. 3 Evans Street, with whom Elmer J. GOODMAN, the youth who died in Alexander yesterday morning, lived, thinks that the young man's death was due to dope of some kind given him on Thursday night, when, according to Mr. DENNIS, he was out until 2 o'clock in the morning, when he reached DENNIS's house, apparently under the influence of some stimulant. Mr. DENNIS wants the fact made known that he wished a doctor called, but that GOODMAN's sister, Miss Addie GOODMAN, objected, as she was a Christian Scientist. Young GOODMAN's father told Mr. DENNIS last night that he was sorry now that he had not had the boy taken to the hospital. Dr. SPOFFORD of Batavia and Dr. MILLER of Alexander performed an autopsy at the GOODMAN home in Alexander yesterday afternoon, under the direction of Coroner SNOW. The coroner says that cerebral hemorrhage and acute meningitis were found to be the causes of death. Dr. COTTIS is making a microscopic examination of some of the organs. Young GOODMAN is survived by his father and mother and four brothers and three sisters. It was inadvertently stated yesterday that Mrs. M. G. DENNIS was a sister. The funeral will be held from the family residence in Alexander tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock and the interment will be in Batavia. Submitted by Kathy Helmer Kathle7297@aol.com

Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State November 4-1887 -part 2- An Infernal Machine. New York.--About ten o'clock Friday night a man dressed in the uniform of a district messenger, called at the residence of James WECHSLER, at 369 Washington avenue, Brooklyn. A member of the family received a package from him, and the messenger went away. Mr. WECHSLER was not at home. Mrs. WECHSLER took the package into the parlor and opened it. When the cover was removed there was an explosion. Pieces of wood and metal struck the lady in the face and on the hands. Her little son who stood near was also hurt about the face. Mrs. WECHSLER's injuries are serious. The wounds are jagged, and there are traces of acid about them. Blood-poisoning is feared. The infernal. machine was so blown to pieces that there is only conjecture as to its character. Detectives are working on the case, but, so far, without results. Mr. WECHSLER is at a loss to know why he has been singled out for destruction. He says he has no enemies that he knows of who could wish to cause his death. + submitted by Linda C.

>From the Rochester Daily Union and Advertiser Rochester, Monroe County, New York JUNE 12, 1900, Part 2 Page 7 WIFE-BEATER SENT TO PENITENTIARY Locked His Wife Out and Then Assaulted Her. Wife Caused His Arrest Because, She Said, It Was Not the First Time He Assaulted Her. Husband Pleaded Guilty, but Said His Wife Was in the Habit of Remaining Out Late. Because his wife remained out later last night than he thought she should have, James C. BROWN, who lives at 334 State street, upbraided her, locked her out and finally letting her in, struck her a blow in the face. As she had several times, according to her story told in police court to-day, been assaulted by him, she thought it was about time to stop it and caused his arrest. He was taken into custody by Officers YAWMAN and TWITCHELL at 2 o'clock this morning and when he was arraigned to court he pleaded guilty to the charge, and was sentenced to serve ten days in the penitentiary in default of paying a fine of $10. BROWN endeavored to justify his conduct by stating that his wife was in the habit of remaining out late at night. She had greatly annoyed him by doing this, he said, and when she returned home at 11 o'clock last night he lost all patience with her and struck her. He said that he was frank to admit that he did strike her, but thought that he was justified in taking the action that he did take. The wife told an entirely different story. She said she was not in the habit of remaining out late at night and asserted that her husband was the one who remained out. She said that she was out last night, but that it was only 9:30 when she went to her home and not 11 o'clock, as he claimed it was. When she tried to get into their rooms her husband locked the door on her and told her that she might just as well remain out the remainder of the night. She made efforts to induce her husband to allow her to enter the house, but these were not successful till a whole hour had elapsed. When the husband finally opened the door and admitted her he began abusing her and calling her vile names. Then he struck her a blow in the face. She stated to the court that he had frequently assaulted her, but that she never had him arrested before and she thought it was about time that he was made to understand that he could not assault her. After hearing the wife's story Judge WHITE sentenced the young man to pay a fine of $10 or serve ten days in the penitentiary. He said that he was not able to pay the fine and therefore had to go to the penitentiary. SLIGHT BLAZE. Occurred in Building Corner of Sherman and Bauer Streets. At 3:15 o'clock this morning an alarm from Box 48, corner of Sherman and Otis streets, summoned the fire department to a vacant store located in a story and half building at the intersection of Sherman and Bauer streets. The blaze which was confined to the rear portion of the store, was quickly extinguished by the firemen. The origin of the blaze is not known. The fire may have been the work of incendiaries. The damage done amounted to $100. This loss is covered by insurance. Joseph KAUFFMAN is the owner of the building. TAKEN TO AUBURN. Michael SULLIVAN and Charles McGRATH Have Begun Serving Sentences. Michael SULLIVAN and Charles McGRATH were taken to Auburn prison by Deputy Sheriff Frank HAWLEY yesterday. They were quiet prisoners and seemed to know their surroundings very well. Both men have been in Auburn before. SULLIVAN will spend two years and six months and McGRATH not less than a year and not more than four. They held up an old man named Edward GATES and robbed him of 70 cents. The police and the authorities at large are overjoyed to think that both are now in a safe place, where they will remain for some time to come. CORNISH SUES TROLLEY COMPANY Asks $2,000 Damages for injury to His Spine by a Fall. The action brought by Joseph F. CORNISH against the Rochester Railway Company, to obtain $2,000 damages for injuries sustained while boarding one of the trolley company's cars on Main street, west, was placed on trial before Justice DUNWELL and a jury of twelve men yesterday afternoon. H.H. McMATH appearing for the plaintiff, and Charles J. BISSELL for the defendant company. The defense is that CORNISH was guilty of contributory negligence, in taking a car at that point; also, if he had taken the advice of Dr. Charles R. BARBER, his physician, he would have been out much sooner than he was, and perhaps would not have been obliged to go to bed at all. CORNISH is a middle-aged man, and weighs perhaps 180 pounds. He is a contractor, and employs a number of men to do house furnishing work. A year ago last February he went to Van HOESEN's store, at the corner of Main street east, and Graves street, to get a pail of paste. He came outside with the paste, and started across Main street. Just at that moment a car came along and he hailed it. CORNISH testified that the motorman nodded, and that the car came to a stop, or nearly so. CORNISH placed the pail upon the steps and took hold of the left hand handle to pull himself upon the car. He states that as he was in the act of drawing himself up the car lurched forward, throwing him around and causing him to strike on something on the back end of the car. He says the car made another lurch, and he was thrown off, the paste spilling all over him. He struck on his back and was stunned for a time. CORNISH was able to go to the place where his men were working, and one of his workmen scraped off the paste. He was then able to go about his business. The next morning at 2 o'clock he began to feel queer sensations, and told his wife that he believed he was more badly hurt than he had thought. This peculiar sensation continued and Dr. BARBER was called to attend him. He found that CORNISH's spine was injured. The plaintiff was confined to his bed for several weeks. Upon the cross-examination , Mr. BISSELL brought out the fact that CORNISH did not go to bed as soon as he was advised to do so by his physician. He was also able to be around and take care of his men a portion of the time. Dr. BARBER took the stand and testified to attending CORNISH. He described the nature of the injures, saying that CORNISH was suffering from a spinal sprain, which might or might not be permanent. He was allowed to answer this latter question upon the strenuous objection of defendant's counsel. "There is no allegation of continuing injury in the complaint," said Mr. BISSELL. "I therefore hold that it is incompetent under his pleading to describe such injuries." Justice DUNWELL held that Mr. McMATH's pleadings did not cover continuing injuries, and Mr. McMATH then asked the privilege of amending them. "I am inclined to allow it," said Justice DUNWELL. Mr. BISSELL said that if plaintiff's attorney was allowed to amend his pleadings he would ask the right to medically examine the plaintiff, and find out what his injuries were. "I never proceed with a case without sending a physician around to examine the plaintiff, when there is a claim of continuing injury," said Mr. BISSELL. "There was no claim of that kind here, and I did not follow that custom." Judge DUNWELL then adjourned the case to give Mr. BISSELL time to make the required examination, and when that is accomplished the amendment to the pleadings will be allowed. At the opening of court this morning Charles EDGERTON, who was connected with Mr. BISSELL for the defense, announced that a settlement had been made of the case and that it would not be litigated any further. Judge DUNWELL then discharged the jurors. PENFIELD MAN BADLY HURT. Hip Broken and Shoulder Dislocated in a Runaway Accident on Meigs Street. A horse owned and driven by Frederick C. THOMAS of Penfield ran away on Meigs street this morning. At the corner of Richard street Mr. THOMAS was thrown out. He was rendered unconscious and when picked up was seen to be badly hurt. The Homeopathic Hospital ambulance was called and the surgeon on examination found that Mr. THOMAS had fractured his right hip and dislocated his right shoulder. He was taken to the hospital where his injures were attended to. He will be confined to the hospital for several weeks at least. Submitted by Sylvia Myers Olson

The woman after she was arrested on one occasion several years ago attacked the police matron, but the latter quickly subdued her. ADMITTED TO PROBATE. Sons Named as Executors of Emily LOVERIDGE's Estate.

John CAWTHRA has been jailor over twenty-five years, having served under Sheriffs BURLINGAME, SCHOEFFEL, HANNAN, HODGSON, DAVY, SCHROTH and FORD. HELD FOR BURGLARY. James HAMMOND Waives Examination in the Police Court. James HAMMOND, who is charged with burglarizing the liquor store of KOVELSKI & SMITH on Central avenue, waived examination when arraigned in police court to-day and was held for the grand jury by Judge WHITE. HAMMOND was arrested by Officers BURKE and MULCAHY while in the act of burglarizing the saloon. The thief got into the place by forcing open a transom over a rear door. When the officers entered he made a bluff that he was employed in the place and pretended to be washing glasses. The proprietors were sent for and stated that he was not employed in the saloon. Even if he was it was very evident that he had committed burglary when he forced open the transom. LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION. Anna BRAUN's Mother Will Look After Her Daughter's Estate.

Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State December 25-1874 -part 2- Local Record. The Opera House needs better conveniences for ventilation, as well as better "footlights." To ventilate by dropping windows, simply, is scarcely the thing in this age of improvements. G. Henry DEWEY died at his residence in Stafford on Tuesday 22d inst., of typhoid fever. Post mortem examination revealed that the disease had eaten through the coats of the stomack[sic]. The deceased, 37 years of age, was well known and highly respected. Mr. Robert MERRIMAN, of the town of Byron, owns the largest horse in the county. The horse is but five years old, and is upward of eighteen hands high, and weighs over eighteen hundred pounds. Rob. says that he intends to have the horse's weight plump up to a ton before next spring. So says the Medina 'Democrat.' R.R. Accident.--On the 18th inst., a young man by the name of WHITMAN, resident of Attica, while on his way home on the train, arriving in Attica in the evening from the west, stepped off the train while stopping at Griswold, and was struck by a train passing on the other track. His injuries were such that he died next morning. + Alexander.--Burglary. The store of Mr. Albert ROWE was burglarized last Sunday night to the amount of about $200. The class of goods taken was principally gloves, mittens, shoes, stockings, suspenders, &c. Entrance was made by cutting out part of a sash in the basement. No clue as yet to the burglars. Enough evidence has been gained to be certain that there were at least two of the party, and that one was a man and the other a boy. The friends of Rev. Dr. HUNT gave him a donation visit on Friday afternoon and evening, the 18th inst. There was quite a large turnout in the evening, notwithstanding it was very cold and blustering. Supper was served and everything passed off very pleasantly. Something over $50 was realized. Mrs. Parley HAMILTON of this place, aged 40 years, died Friday night, the 18th, of consumption. The funeral was held Sunday at the house. + Byron.--The Praise meeting held at North Byron on Sunday last, was largely attended by the different denominations of the town. The time was occupied by speaking and singing. Steps were also taken for the relief of the Kansas sufferers. The following persons were appointed to receive at their respective houses the contributions of the people: Mr. LARKINS, at Pumpkin Hill; the Rev. E. ALLEN, at the Center; and Mr. ROOT, at Clarendon. Taylor CORBIN had the misfortune to cut his right foot badly on Monday of this week, making a gash about five inches in length, which is bad for a man upward of seventy years of age. A young man living with Henry MERRIMAN had his leg broken while wrestling in the barn of G.W. PECKHAM, on Sunday last. So much for fooling. G.W. PECKHAM and wife have returned from the West, where they have been for their health, somewhat improved. + Bergen.--Miss Frank PERRY died on Saturday morning of last week, aged 17 years. She had been a great sufferer for a long time from that scourge, consumption. The funeral was attended at the M.E. church last Sunday afternoon, the Rev. J.L. FORSTER conducting the services. Our young cadet, George HAMLIN, arrived home last Saturday, looking as if his school life agreed with him. Glad to see you, George! A few days since Mr. Daniel McMASTER and two others, went out fox-hunting. Their guns lay in the cutter with the muzzles pointing back, and by some means one of them was discharged, demolishing the back of the cutter. Close call, Daniel! Our sporting boys of this town are having of late what they call a good time hunting rabbits. Some of them very often capture from two to six gray rabbits in a day. Some one from Bergen is sending times to the Le Roy 'Gazette.' In his last effusion he locates the county jail on the banks of Black Creek! Some one lend him a map of Genesee county. The population of our town has been increased by four births within a week, and we think we could find room for four more without crowding. + Elba.--On Saturday last, as Mr. J.A. STAPLES and wife were returning from Batavia, they met with a severe accident, the kingbolt of their carriage breaking, dropping the carriage to the ground, throwing them both out, and hurting Mrs. STAPLES so that she lay insensible for several hours. She is yet in a critical state, but there are hopes of her recovery. + + New Opera House! Meech Bros., Managers Also of the Buffalo Academy of Music. Christmas Night.

Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State December 25-1874 part 1 Neighboring Counties. Geneseo is to have a new depot. Rochester is reducing the salaries of her school-teachers. Nearly one hundred and thirty vessels are wintering at Buffalo. A bold attempt at highway robbery was made in Lockport last week. There are fifty-six widows and nineteen widowers in Holley, Orleans co., at last account. A German family named KLINE, have the Trichina Spiralis from eating Bologna sausage. James CARSON, of Livingston county, has been allowed $800 for sheep killed by dogs the past year. An artesian well is being bored at Buffalo, which has already attained a depth of five hundred feet. Albion is to have a paper barrel manufactory--at least such a report is manufactured by an Albion paper. Dr. NESBIT, of Avon, has been to the Indian territory in search of his brother whom he found among the Indians as a medicine man. North Ridgeway, Niagara Co., has a salt well which produces seven bushels of salt per day, Aaron BATHRICK is the owner of the property. The Dansville 'Advertiser' states that a child of N. YOCUM, of Dansville, aged one year, choked to death from a piece of wood that lodged in its throat. The Victor correspondent of the Canandaigua 'Messenger' says: Miss Fanny HASKELL is "meeting with gratifying success in her dancing-class" at that place. Recently a daring robbery took place at the residence of Col. A.F. ODELL, of Middleport, the thief securing some $300. Mr. G.W. SNOW, of Lima, came near death by gas suffocation a few nights since by his coal stove pipe becoming disjointed, thus suffering the gas to escape into his sleeping-room. Robert HAYES, son of Dr. S.L. HAYES, formerly of Le Roy, set fire to the schoolhouse, in which he was teaching, at East Bloomfield recently. It is believed he temporarily deranged. A German named John STAYER, who resides at Hunt's Hollow, threw himself under the wheels of a locomotive at Portage a few days since and his body was severed in two by the wheels. + Indian Names. The Indian name of Batavia was Decongowa--meaning "The great hearing place." Why thus named we don't know. Rochester was Gaskosago--"At the Falls." Brockport was Gwehtaanecarnundotch--and that long word means only "Red or bloody village." Pine Hill was Tocasoca--"Pine lying up." Oak Orchard Creek was Dageanogunt--meaning "Two sticks coming together." + Linden. One day last week Mr. L.C. DURGEE of this place, undertook to cross the mill dam on the ice with his team. The ice broke, and L.C. with sleigh and team, went down. Water about three feet deep--mud, depth unknown. The neighbors rallied and with much difficulty extricated man and team, wet and chilled, but unhurt. Moral--"Be sure you're right" before you "go ahead" on a mill dam. Ira NORTON of Linden, killed two lusty porkers one day last week, the weight of one being 580 lbs. and the other 500 lbs. He says he did not feed them much. Our village and vicinity were thrown into a great excitement on Monday morning last by the announcement that Wm. WEBBER had turned over his entire stock of goods and property to Nelson BLOOD, for the benefit of his creditors, and had left for parts unknown. He had left, to be handed to Nelson BLOOD, a package, which, on being opened, was found to contain a statement of his indebtedness and an inventory of his assets, with request that Mr. B. would settle his indebtedness, so far as the property left would do it. Long credits seem to have been the "rock" on which Mr. WEBBER foundered. He was, and is yet, regarded by his old neighbors as a well-meaning and honest, though unfortunate, man. + Local Record. Mr. and Mrs. R.H. MILLER of Le Roy are wintering in Florida. Taxes must now be paid. Mr. WEBBER, the collector, receives at the St. James. Merry Christmas! with all the blessing essential to make it such, is the Batavian's heart-felt wish to its patrons. The Post Office will be closed for the day, at 12 o'clock, noon, Christmas day. Let those interested govern themselves accordingly. "May SHELBY," the colored individual who stole the rings from Mrs. WALLACE at the Central House, was sent to the workhouse for four months. Mrs. STARR, widow of the late Samuel STARR, of Pavilion, died at her residence in that village on Thursday night, 17th inst., of cancer of the stomach. A Good Thing.--A week ago last Sunday evening, the pastor of the M.E. church in this village publicly announced from his pulpit that he would never again pass fermented wine in administering the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. On Sunday last was communion service at that church and the wine passed was unfermented. May other pastors follow his example. + Big-Day's Work.--On Monday last Geo. TRUMBLE, of this village, fitted 102 horseshoes in eight hours, and Mr. Robert CLARK drove the same. On Wednesday afternoon, from one to five o'clock, the same men put on sixty-eight shoes. Blacksmiths, near or far, who can or have beat this, are requested to report. George and Robert are a "full team" in the horse-shoeing business. + -to be cont'd.- submitted by Linda C.
