    3. The Daily News Batavia, Genesee Co., NY Tuesday Evening, November 30 1886 SEAVER &. HALL ASSIGN. The Well Known Byron Merchants Fall For a Large Amount. The general assignment of the mercantile firm of SEAVER & HALL of Byron Centre and of the members of the firm, Hon. Chillers A. SEAVER and Seth C. HALL, was executed this morning and filed promptly in the County Clerk's office. Pliny B. FISK of Byron is the assignee. The assignment, together with the lists of preferred creditors, makes a voluminous document. The total amount of indebtedness given in the assignment is $15,591.43. The inventory of assets and schedule of total liabilities have not yet been filed. *** The Batavia Relief Association. Twelve members of the Batavia Relief Association, Poormaster CROSS and Secretary YATES met at Mrs. ENSIGN's last evening. The minutes of the last meeting were read. The number of persons aided the last week and the donation sent in were recorded, and it would seem a generous Thanksgiving was enjoyed by many whose needs would never have been known except through this organization. Thanksgiving collections from the German Lutheran church and from the Free Will Baptist church were handed in by representative of the same, also one dollar from a lady, which made the whole amount (cash) $10.50. *** NEIGHBORING TOWNS.

On Sunday evening next there will be union gospel services at the Baptist church under the auspices of the W.C.T.U. Rev. J.F. BROWN, pastor of the M.E. church, is announced to preach the sermon.

Burt is a brakeman on the Peanut. He got his hand smashed the other day and has a furlough until it gets well. Mrs. Chas.

Mr. LONGMOLE moves his jewelry stock into the new block also. The new time card on the West Shore makes Akron a first-class station. All passenger trains stop here. No place like home is what Mr. and Mrs. BOSTWICK say after a pretty extensive travel in the West. George says he could write a book, but he won't. The entertainment by the German church on Thanksgiving evening was attended by a large number of people. *** submitted by L.C. Schmidt
