    3. The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State October 11-1899 APPLES GOING TO PARIS. Pavilion.--Patrick GLEASON of Le Roy, the extensive fruit dealer, and one of the fruit commissioners for the World's Fair, has bought the large and fine crop of apples, mostly Spys, grown by William L. BRADLEY, of Pavilion, and out of the 500 barrels is selecting twenty bushels of superior Northern Spys for the United States Government exhibit at the Paris Exposition of 1900. They are being wrapped in papers, are to be crated and will be placed in cold storage until the Government is ready to ship them. For quality and size this exhibit probably excels anything ever grown in Western New York. Hundreds of barrels of apples are being harvested in this section. The Elias HUTCHINSON orchard will yield 600 barrels; H.O. HUBBARD's, 700; Homer COOK's, 2,000, and Jasper STARR's, 1,000. ++ UNCLE EZRA THE POSTMASTER. Harry CROSBY, William KIRSCH, and E.J. DELLINGER, well known Batavia theatrical people, will be engaged this season in giving amateur performances by local talent in various parts of this State. Mr. DELLINGER is the manager, Mr. CROSBY the director and Mr. KIRSCH the advance agent. The play to be presented is the comedy drama, "The Country Postmaster," a scene of rural life. It will be presented three nights in each place and Mr. CROSBY will take the part of Uncle Ezra, the Postmaster. Mr. CROSBY will leave tomorrow for Johnstown, where the play will be first produced. ++ DIED IN BETHANY. William GOADE, who had been a resident of Genesee county for half a century, died last night at the County House in Bethany from a complication of diseases, aged 75 years. ++ WEDDED AT ST. JOSEPH'S. Miss Emma M. SMITH of South Byron and Henry FEASTED of Brooklyn, formerly of Batavia, were united in marriage in high mass at St. Joseph's church at 9:30 o'clock today by the Very Rev. Dean BROUGHAM in the presence of a large number of friends and relatives. Miss Mary FEASTED, sister of the groom, was bridesmaid and Charles SMITH, the bride's brother, was groomsman. After the ceremony the bridal party drove to the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter SMITH of South Byron, where a wedding breakfast was served and a reception was held.

Not a large audience greeted the musical farce-comedy, "The Good Mr. Best," at the Opera House last night, but the entertainment was full of wholesome fun and was thoroughly enjoyed. All of the actors were clever and capable and their specialties were far above the average. ++ Spot Cash Grocery Butter! A few words about the Butter we sell: It is in bricks. It weighs a full pound. It is neatly wraped[sic]. It is not touched once by hands. It is salted always with a Worcester Salt--conceded by all chemists to be the purest salt made. The Butter is as perfect as fresh milk, modern appliances, pure salt and cleanliness can make it. It costs no more than other sorts (27c). We have it fresh twice a week the year round. Try it. J.M.
