The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State August 28-1888 - part 2 - News Notes in Darien. Mrs. H.F. CARTER left for Utica to-day for a few weeks visit among relatives and friends. The mother and sister of Mrs. PHILLIPS are visiting with the doctor and his wife. William GRANT took a large load of young people from here to attend the lecture on temperance at Attica on Friday evening by the Rev. Mr. GRANDISON a colored minister from the South. All parties agree that painting and disfiguring a campaign banner is a small, mean trick. Some one daubed over Mr. William GRANT's Fisk and Brooks banner, Friday night. The Rev. H. SLINGERLAND took as his subject Sunday "The Rules and Discipline of the M.E. Church." His explanations were clear, concise and practical. A general Sunday school picnic to be participated in by fifteen or more schools is to be held Wednesday at Clark's Grove, North Darien, about three miles North of the city. Each school is to have a table, and after a picnic dinner there will be singing and speaking and amusements. The city club play Wednesday afternoon with the club at North Darien on the latter's grounds. The annual school meeting occurs to-morrow evening. "Woman's Suffrage with an Educational Qualification" was discussed by the members of the I.O.G.T. Saturday evening. Several members volunteered to furnish papers for a literary box to be placed in the depot at Griswold. The high winds of the last three days have blown off a large amount of apples and pears. + South Byron Briefs. Rev. Dr. NETTLETON will be absent next Sabbath and Rev. J. McEWEN, a former pastor, will occupy the pulpit. Mrs. R. WITTAKEN leaves for Allegan, Mich., to-day to visit relatives. Mr. and Mrs. H. BUSHMAN go to Albany and New York for a trip this week. The Harrison and Morton pole raised by the Republicans of South Byron Saturday, is 109 feet above ground and straight as an arrow. It is a tamarack top, a maple middle and black ash base. It is the work of Charles FULLER, architect, ably assisted by John GOODLIFF. Democrats are nearly as proud as Republicans over this pole, for South Byron did up the Center handsomely. The flag which floats from it was made by the ladies of South Byron and is a beautiful piece of work. + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt *********************************************
