****************** Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State July 24-1868 * * Attica. Attica continues to go ahead; the building and improvement mania is yet raging and bids fair to hold out during the season. The American Hotel is undergoing thorough repairs and is to be made to look like new, outside and in, while the barn is being enlarged and will be made much more commodious. With J.C. BUMP, Esq. to look after and attend to the wants of the traveling public the American as certainly become a first-class house. FAY & Son have got on a full "head of steam": and are prepared to do all kinds of turning in wood, brass, or iron. They are putting in a new plainer, jointer, saws, &c &c., which will make theirs a complete shop for all kinds of wood and iron work. We are glad to welcome to Attica, M.K. TRIPP, a Photographist, of superior skill. Mr. TRIPP has had years of experience in Cincinnati Ohio, and Rochester N.Y., and has opened a gallery here, where he is prepared to take pictures of all kinds and sizes. If you want a good barrel of apples go to PEMBER's barrel factory, for-well, PEMBER is bound to furnish the barrels, good ones too, for all that come, but not the apples. Willis PARKER, an employee on the R.R. between here and Hornelsville, got one of his thumbs badly mashed by the cars one day last week. It will be quite likely to make him "loaf" sometime, a thing Willis is not use to. We have not had a frost in Attica in three weeks or more, and unless the thermometer takes some pretty short turns we shall not look for one much just yet. J.G. DORANCE's Arctic Soda Fountain keeps things tolerably cool, though. * * The Warsaw 'New Yorker' and the Perry 'Sun' are "phighting" about Silver Lake.-The 'Sun' heats up awful because the 'New Yorker' alluded to the pond as a Warsaw attraction; and the 'New Yorker', on after consideration, don't think the puddle of any great account anyway. Pshaw, neighbors, don't contend over so small a matter. *********************************************
