Smith is preparing- for The Herald in commemoration of the 76th an- niversary of the Incorporation of Victor village. The community will officially celebrate on Saturday, Sept. 18. In last week's article The Herald regrets two typo- graphical errors—both In the same type line. DeNonville was spelled incorrectly and the famed invasion took place in 1687 instead of 1867. When Victor village was incor- porated in 1879, 75 years ago, one- half of the present Walling block had been built. Two years later old buildings were removed and the second half erected. Another building still in use which ante- dated incorporation is the Moore (State Bank) block. The school building at Main and School streets was built in 1883, and the brick block at Main street and Moore avenue, now postoffice and Gaiser store, was built in 1894. The "Old Stone Store" of A. Sim- onds' Sons, the oldest business building in town, was built in 1833. Victor's first church, a sketch of which i s now in the Victor Free Library, was built in 1805, on the site of the present Nelson L. Lob- dell residence. The first school house was built in 1816, directly back of the old school building now standing at West Main and School streets, the first factory of the Kordite Company and now un- used.' \ In the early days Victor, like other settlements of that era, had many industries now nearly or quite, obsolete, a tannery, wagon, harness and blacksmith shops, a plant manufacturing barrels and one which turned out windmills. At one timie Scudderville (East Victor) had a larger population than Victor and there was much rivalry between the two settle- ments. East Victor had the better water power, but Victor had the better location. a •• * Passing now to 1900 Herald files we learn that in December, 1899, Sadie McVean, Victor nurse, was being entertained in London by the Duchess of Marlborough «„„.«„., IA ., ™ m „».„i„ 'and other British celebrities Sunday, 10 a. m., morning whjle enroute fe gouth Afrka for prayer with sermon. Church Members To Attend Week-end Retreat Members and friends of the Manchester Methodist church have been invited to a family weekend retreat at the Method- ist camp, Casowasco on Lake Owasco. Sessions will begin Sat- urday, Sept. 18, at 2:30 p. m. and will continue through Sunday af- ternoon. Plans include activities for adults and for children of all ages; with fellowship, fun, wor- ship and informal planning for the coming year. Many families took advantage of this opportunity last year, and enjoyed an additional vacation at very small cost. The church in Manchester will be closed on Sunday morning, for all Sunday school classes and the morning worship service will be held at camp. Those who cannot stay overnight are cordially urged to spend Sunday there. Deal Class Sept. 17 The Deal class of the Methodist church will meet for tureen sup- per at 6:30 Friday evening Sept 17, with Mrs. R. O. Whitney at her cottage at Canandaigua lake. The hostesses will be Mrs. Whit- ney, Mrs. Terry R, Aldridge, Mrs. Eleanor McMurray and Guila Wil- bur. Devotions will be in charge of Miss Dora Mead and Mian Evelyn Mead hag charge of the program, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE How we may prove and exper- ience man's God-given domination over material bondage of all kinds —sin, disease, and limitation — will be brought out at Christian Science services Sunday. The sub- ject of the Lesson-Sermon is "Matter." The spiritual heritage of free- dom which belongs to man is set forth in the following selection from the Bible (Galatian s 4:6-7): "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ." The following passage will be among those read from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy (223:3): "Sooner or later we shall learn that the fetters of man's finite capacity are forged by the illustration that he lives in body instead of in Soul, in matter instead of in Spirit." Floyd Johnson To Head IOOF Lodge Floyd Johnson was elected noble grand of Parlor Village lodge, No. 88, IOOF of Shortsville, in elections held during the sum- mer.

Plans will be made for the for- mation of new dens and for the activities of the coming year. service in the Boer War. William B. Gilbert, a former employe of The Herald, was on military duty in Manila, in 1899. Fred M. Locke's invention (the porcelain insulator) was comment- ed upon in the electrical industry as follows: "If Mr. Locke's inven- tion is what he claims for it, it will open possibilitiies in the transmission of electrical currents hitherto undreamed of." Early in February, 1900, the building of an electric railroad from Rochester to Canandaigua through Victor was under consid- eration. Horse-racing incidents which sometimes resulted in injury to man or beast had given Main St. the name of "The Speedway." In New York city a young south- ern woman withdrew from an art school because a Cuban woman with Negro blood had been admit- ted to classes. The Herald was urging its read- ers to vote for a water works ap- propriation. The proposition was defeated, 37 to 22. February 25, 1900, five members of Porter D. Smith's family were killed at Tuttle's crossing on the Lehigh Valley railroad when their carriage was struck by a train. They were residents of Farming- ton. F. M. Locke received a $50,000 order for insulators. Lions Planning Busy Fall Events The next meeting of the Twin Cities Lions club will be held Thursday, Sept. 23, at 6:30 p. m. at the Shortsville Methodist church. The dinner will be served by the WSCS of that church, and will be followed by a business meeting and a movie. Plans will be made for the sale of the annual community calendar, with Gordon Crowell and Walter Wegman as co-chairmen of the project. The president, Harold Griffin, recently made the following appointments: Leon J. Van Norman as treasurer to fill the term of Paul Dillen- beck, resigned; and Clarence Her- endeen as Lion tamer to fill the term of Paul MacMillan. who moved to Buffalo. President Grif- fin and Secretary Arthur Young will attend a meeting of all presi- dents and secretaries in zone 2, at the home of zone chairman Wil- liam Sherman of Victor, next Wednesday evening. Plans and ideas for improving and strength- ening the local cubs will be dis- cussed. Roberts Tract Gains Favor As School Site Could Be Obtained and Developed Inexpensively The 25-acre tract owned by County Judge Carrollton A. Rob- erta at the intersection of Buffalo street extension and the North Bloomfield road appeared ttito week to be attracting No. 1 at- tention of Canandaigua school dis- trict taxpayers as the site for the proposed new grade school. The Roberts site on the north- west corner of the city was one of six surveyed and appraised for school use by the board of educa- tion's special site committee and by Duane Lyman, Buffalo, archi- tect for the board. The committee and Mr. Lyman made their report last Thursday at the September meeting of the board. The Roberts site appeared to have the following advantages: 1. Cost of development includ- ing grading and landscaping was the lowest of any of the six stud- ied. Mr. Lyman told the board of education this work could be done for slightly more than $40,000. 2. Board of education officials said no definite plice arrangement had been concluded with County Judge Roberts but that the 25- acre lot could be procurred for be- tween $10,000 and $15,000 — a price which is believed to be fair and generous. 2. Sewer and water facilities are excellent. New sewers were constructed by the city this sum- mr along both the Buffalo street extension and the Bloomfield road leading from North Pearl street. 4. Easy entrance and exit roadways would be possible, lead- ing to both Buffalo street exten- sion and the North Bloomfield road. 5. This is one of the fast-grow« ing and most attractive sections of the city. North Pearl steet, for example, has witnessed the con- struction of about 20 new homes in the past two years and Buffalo- stret has also been popular for new residences. Perhaps the only criticism which can be leveled against the Roberts sjte is that its location on the city outskirts would re- quire almost 100 per cent bus transportation of all pupils. Besides the Roberts site the board of education gave attention to five other possible, school loca- tions Thursday evening. Along with the Roberts tract, Mr. Lyman and the board's com- mittee listed the Benham tract on North Main street and the old fairgrounds site on Fort Hill ave- nue as "excellent." Both, how- ever, would cost more to develop than the Roberts property. Cost of grading and prepaing the Benham tract was set at $62,000 by Mr. Lyman — about $20,000 more than the Roberts land; cost of developing the former fair- grounds would be $49,000, Mr. Lyman estimated, about $9,000 more than the Roberts tract. Marked "good" by Mr. Lyman and the committee was the Am- erican Legion property on outer North Main but this would cost $70,000 to get ready for construc- tion. Called "fair" was the Dr. Griffith J. Winthrop property bordering Thad Chapin street and outer Bristol street. This would also cost about $70,000 to develop. Called "impractical* was a loca- tion at the rear of North Pearl street adjoining the present Ele- mentary school property. This would cost $75,600 to develop, it was estimated, and had other ser- ious disadvantages. The board of education now contemplates a public meeting in October at which time all of the possible sites with all possible in- formation will be placed before the school district voters. An in- formal vote may be taken that evening to ascertain general pre- ference and this coupled with a possible postcard poll of public opinion will form the basis for the board's choice of the site for the new school. Constable DeFlyer Edward DeFlyer, Sr., of Pal- myra St., Shortsville, has resum- ed his duties as constable for the town of Manchester. He was ap- pointed to this post by the town board the first of the year, but was unable to assume his duties at that time because of illness. Now, however, he ha* recovered and will serve actively from now on.
