****************** Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State July 6-1894 # 3 C.G. FORWARD has resigned his position in the Pease hardware store and bought out the pictures and picture frame business of John C. GREENE over Woodward's shoe store. The Citizens' Band is now circulating a subscription paper to raise money with which to purchase new uniforms. The Band is now an incorporated body of musicians. Mrs. H. Emma GEIGER and her two little daughters, Nellie and Mary, of Batavia, made a happy visit over Sunday last at her parents', Mr. and Mrs. E.F. CHAFFEE's.- 'Attica News.' Le Roy is talking of a local telephone circuit of the kind of 'phones Bert SMITH is furnishing to his customers in Batavia. A telephone exchange of that kind in Batavia is among the possibilities. Porter avenue is being built up rapidly. Mr. PICKERT has commenced the building there of another dwelling house. When it is completed it will make the fifth one built on that avenue this summer. Officer JOHNSON went to Medina on the Fourth and arrested John WILKINSON, a former resident of Batavia, and lodged him in jail here. He is charged with jumping a board bill of $16. 30 at Dawson's hotel. He will be examined before Justice ROBSON this Thursday, afternoon. We call attention to the new advertisement of W.L. DOUGLASS $3.00 Shoe which appears in our issue to-day. We have every assurance from the manufacturer that the recent improvements in style and quality will give more satisfaction than ever to the wearers of these popular shoes. "A party of eight Attica bicyclists," says the 'Attica News,' "accompanied by Mr. John RUSSELL, of Batavia, enjoyed a trip a-wheel to Silver Lake, going on Saturday and returning on Monday. They were treated to a very pleasant steamer ride on Sunday morning by Mr. THOMPSON, of the art school hotel on the west side." Children's day services are to be held next Sunday afternoon at the county house for the pleasure and profit of the inmates. The children of Rev. Mr. SCARFF's church and a few others will give recitations and provide music for the occasion. For a few years past these exercises have been greatly enjoyed by the inmates of county house. The "Fortnightly" is the title of a little paper just started by Master Glowacki PARKER, of Summit street. The subscribers are requested not to pay in advance. The editor undoubtedly wishes his readers to get the worth of their money before they pay. We wish Master PARKER success, for we are commanded: "Despise not the day of small things." The new six-foot cement walk in front of the Brisbane property on West Main street is a great addition to the looks and value of the place. Weaver & Winslow, the makers, have done there a most excellent job. When the Jefferson avenue cement walk is made and the flag walk laid on Washington avenue, the Brisbane property will be greatly improved. Mrs. Anne PIERCE died at her home in Oakfield on Tuesday, aged 74 years. Mrs. PIERCE has been a resident of Oakfield for many years and she was greatly beloved by all who knew her. She is survived by one son, George W. PIERCE, of Rochester, and three sisters, Mrs. Hiram MARTIN, of Byron, Mrs. Lucy WOLCOTT, of Oakfield, and Miss Nettie PIERCE, of Oakfield. Wm. WILCOX, a Central freight conductor whose home is in De Witt, was injured in Batavia on Tuesday morning. He was on the deck of a car near the Harvester Works, when a sudden jerk of the train threw him off the car. His right wrist was fractured and his hip injured. Dr. MANCHESTER attended to his injuries, after which the flyer bound east was flagged and he was placed on the train and sent home. submitted by Linda Schmidt *********************************************
