SiLbjer Springs Signal. VOL. XXV. SILVER SPRINGS, N. Y.. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1916 No. 8 Afternoon of Fun and Frolic Silver Spring* Firemen Made Merry at Annual Inspection. It is tbe general opinion that the Silver Springs Fire Department and tbeir friends had the best time ever 8 t the annual inspection and parade of the department held Saturday af- teraoon-tbe biggest parade, the best music and the finest supper we've ever bad. The weather was some what cbiliy, but that did not inter fere with tbe program, although making tbe occasion a little more unpleasant tban it would otherwise have been. The decorated automo biles and bioyoles added interest to tbe parade, and tbe excellent musio fnrnisbed by the Portagevllle band was a big inspiration to tbe march ers. After tbe fire fighting apparatus and tbe companies had been inspect ed by tbo village board, the parade was formed, beaded by tbe village fathers in Piesident Nash's car. They were followed by the band, add directly behind them marohed Chief L M. Clark and bis assistants, W. E. FJukerand.S. R. Marsh. Then came tbe Chemical Company and their ap paratus followed by the Worcester Hose Co. and apparatus. Then in order came the decorated automo biles, a take off on tbe capture of Villa, decorated bicycles and a juv enile fire company with Master Rob ert Humphrey foreman. Tbe judges, Messrs. B. P. Gage of Waisaw, R. F. Scbornsteln and Roy T. Strivings of Castile, W. H. Thom as of Rasbford and a gentleman from Portageville awarded the prize of $5 for the best deoorated automobile to Chas. Crist and Miss Violet Travis was (riven a prize for the best dec orated bicycle. After tbe parade, tbe Bports were run off on Orchard St. with tbe fol lowing results. 100 yard dash open to firemen in uniform only—Earl Morgao 1st, knife; James Cricbton 2nd, scarf pin. 60 yard dash for boys under 14— Maynard Dowdle 1st, flashlight; Merrill Nye 2nd, knife.

Three legged race—Lynn Ingleby and Lloyd Dumbleton 1st, 10 tickets to the movies; Sam. McBride and Eustace White 2nd, 6 tiokets to the movies. Tbe tug of war between the mar ried'men and the single men in tbe fire department was won by the mar tied men, a box of cigars. Tbe Por tagevllle band challenged tbe win ners, and tbe married men of the department were again victorious. The Portageville band are all right, bat lacked tbe \pall.''' At six o'clock, tbe firemen, tbe band, the judges and invited guests repaired to Village Hall, where x ca terer W. H. Whiting had prepared a most appetizing lanoheon. It was one of the best sappers ever servod on such occasions and if every fellow Present didn't get all be wanted it was his own fault. There was plenty and to spare. At 8 o'clock tbe Portageville band save a most enjoyable conoert on the Kenwood House lawn, which closed tbe day's festivities as far as tbe firemen were concerned. After the concert there was a dance at Den ton's Hall and a special photo drama at the Crescent Theatre. We wish to add I word of praise f °r the Portageville band. They are nnder the leadership of the veteran bandmaster, L. F. Willey of Canaser- *ga, formerly of Nnnda, one of tbe b est directors in Western New York. tbe boys showed the results of careful training. They play a very ni «h grade of musio, fall of harmony »<J n expression, and play it well j™'- Willey does not believe in the ight trashy stuff usually played by wantry bands, but wants musio w bere every man has to .work. He \as worked ont some of his own \teas with the Portageville band and Bei ' exeoution showed the master Gainesville Press Burned Out. Brother John M. Skiff of the Gainesville Press met with a big loss Saturday morning when his printing office was entirely destroyed by fire. Mr. Skiff had his office in a part of the building, known as the Hebble- white blacking factory. He went to the office about 7 o'clock Saturday morniDg as usual and about an hour later bad occasion to go to the post- office. While there a man drove up and told him his office was all on fire. He jumped into the rig and hur ried to the office, but when he reach ed there the interior was a mass of flames and he was unable to save a thing. AH his machinery, books, stook and everything was consumed. He carried an insurance of S1600 on his printing plant. Editor Skiff was town clerk, vil lage clerk and school district clerk. The town records were in the town safe and were practically unharmed, but all the village and school district records were burned. The building was owned by Dr. Geo. S. Skiff and Fred M. Bristol and was partially insured. It was a big building, suitably constructed for manufacturing purposes and in many towns would be a valuable piece of property. Tbe origin of tbe fire is nnknowu. Those who first discovered it, said it seemed to start near tbe elevator shaft, which is located in tbe rear room. It is thought perhaps tramps might have lodged there over night and been careless with matches. Gainesville has no fire\ Hebting ap paratus, but by tbe bard work of tbe bucket brigade, tbe bouse of George Green located near the factory build- in? was saved. Editor Skiff is undecided as yet as to his future plans. Tbe people of that village, of course, are anxious for him to start up again, but tbe profits in tbe printing business are getting mighty small, and it requires a big field for a man to get abead any. Lost Their Baby. Mr. and Mrs. L. P. O'Brien of Le- Roy have the sympathy of many friends in this place In tbe loss of their little daughter Helen, 21 months old, who passed away early last Thursday morning after a short illness with bowel trouble. The funeral was held at St Peter's ohurcb in LeRoy Friday morning and the burial was at that place. Among those in attendanoe at tbe funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Mo- Loughlin and daughter Sadie and Mrs. Elizabeth Kniffln and son Chas. Kniffin, of this place, Miss Anna Healy of Rock Glen and Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Qainlean and Miss Kingston of Buffalo. Bought Home in Pike. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Kershaw have purchased tbe Jewett house, corner of South Water and School streets, in Pike village and expect to move into the same this fall and make that village their future home. We bad hoped that when Mr. and Mrs. Kershaw left the farm they would move to this village, but we understand they move to Pike to be near their daughter, Mrs. C. M. Sbat- tuck.
