Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Sat Aug 10, 1889 WESTERN NEW YORK NEWS ALLEGANY Rushford's New School Trustees - An Improved Mail Service H. A. HOLDEN, M. CLAUS, L. E. HARDY and J. G. JAMES, are the newly elected trustees of the Rushford school. The tax ratio was the same last year as the year before; the teachers were paid higher wages and two extra employed part of the time, but there is more money left in the treasury, than any year for some time, the reason being increased attendance, and pay from foreign pupils. This shows that it is cheaper to have a good school than a poor one. The same teachers have been employed for the coming year. -H. A. HOLDEN, of Friendship, is a candidate for member of Assembly. -The people of Caneadea and adjoining towns are to have a grand picnic August 13th. Rushford Band will furnish the music. -Among the many visitors at Rushford are Professor and Mrs. McKEE, Mr. and Mrs. GAGE, of Topeka, Kansas, Albert WADE, wife and daughter, of Alton, Ill., G. B.

Y. -The mail is to be carried over the new route from Rushford to Canaedea, August 22nd, 1889. By this route nearly all mail will be received one day earlier. This will be the case with Rochester mail and as the bulk of business is with that city, its advantages will be appreciated by Rochester. ** ORLEANS Medina Will Raise $6,000 by Tax for School Purposes -Misses PARISH and STRATTON, of Medina, have returned from the sea shore. -Miss De GRAFF, of Jacksonville, Fla., is a guest at the home of A.
