Courier its ownership passes to Frederick Adam's Griffith, and Henry Winter Griffith, publishers of the Wayne County Journal and their associates Judge S. Nelson Sawyer and George S. Tinklepaugh. The two papers will be conducted as one and that wiU be printed in the Courier Building in Williams Street. The young men have long' been connected with. the( ‘’^Geriock ' Packing Company where the late Frederick :::winW-Griffith was president and , .treasurer and one-third owner un frontage of about 50 feet Jn Wil liams gtreet and the building con structed' in 1912 was planned for eight stories'. The Courier building was for merly owped by Charles Jackman, who conducted a laundry- until 4 years ago-when it wassold to Ward K. Angevine. • After extensive re modeling the, building 'became, an ideal newspaper plant and this fact was recognized by the Griffith’s in abon&Snlng' their mddem plant in Main Street ward K.

Ward K. Angevine, Vice-president of the State Bank of Palmyra; Richard'B. Engle, Treasurer of the Cayuga OU Company; Ward K: Angevine, Jr, President of the Pal myra Courier Co. Inc.; Lutheb C. Pollard, Treasurer of the Palmyra Courier Co. Inc., are among the per sons interested in the company which will deal in merchandise, real estate, etc. A mail' order business will principally be conducted. The name Ganargua was chosen because it was selected by the In dians more*' than two hundred years ago to designate the winding creek, or river extending from -the’ Bristol Hills beyond Canandaigua to the Seneca river near Clyde. This stream Is navigable and in years of early settlement when the country hereabouts was mostly oc cupied by Indians, it was used to transport grain to grist mills at CanandaigUa and to carry the set tlers to their \'place of destination. Many are the hair raising stories told of attacks by Indians and the privations suffered by early set tlers especially in Palmyra, Mace don, Canandaigua and Geneva. Arrangements are being perfected to organize a corporation to carry on the business which it Is expect ed will be developed by the Ganar gua Company. vV.The--hfi€ulquarters‘:ofX;the.,.;,c6in- - HENRY TV.

History pf the Ganargua country relates that some pioneers came by water, some on horseback, others drove ox-teams attached to sleds,' and not a few journeyed on foot. During winter sleighs were employ ed, and the frozen, snow-clad earth obviated the difficulties of travel, unless as occasionally happened, the dissolvingsnow should melt away and leave them stranded. The Long, Island settler upon Ganargua launched ‘his boat upon Long Island Sound and came to New York, thence up the Hudson river, whence transportng boat and lading to Schenectady, he passed up the Mohawk, to Fort Stanwlx; thence a short portage to Wood creek and by that reaching Oneida lake. The lake was traversed to the Oswego -river, thence to the Seneca, the Clyde, and beyond the “Forks”' upon Ganargua river or Mur creek as it was sometimes called. Those who performed that journey, look ing back upon the long route, the wearisome labor, the distant home, saw in the speedily erected rude log cabin a pleasant dwelling. Fa cility of •communication carried an influx of pioneer population, which numbered .three thousand1 during a period-of but .six weeks. The ruling motive was a desire to improve their condition. Land, was abundant, cheap, and fertile, terms ot pay ment- were most favorable, and the llncrease of value certain. Many, be coming, excited by overwrought tales of . wonderful fertility, and expect ing an.easy life, made the journey only to suffer with disease, prlva tion, and discouragement; some re turning told,a story of' suffering which gave rise to. doubts;„ others with true inherekt, manhood' re solved‘to; make, theJ best of it, and gradually, won their way to afflu ence: Many with little... else than an axe came on to share with-others the-: difficulty- and' the -dangerr-the labor and .the. fatigue, - of. cutting and clearing roads and makng brid ges to Indian lands,-and. then,'mak; Ing a-road-to a place .where they could settle\ ddyni- with thelr.‘famf Uies upon a] natlVe tract, made' their own. by virtue, of,'an' investment- of foniier. hard -■, earning ,T;they (rose '.each morning /to' follow ;Vhe t plow,'- level;-the'. forest,':. or~gather tlie ^harvest^cali. their-.- >‘own., .with none; to' dernaiid/ tithes' foe occupar- Continoed on po*e elght — EXAMINATION^ for Cornell Free SchoUuremj)' will be held ln Lyons on Juneijist.,. at 9:00 A M.
