A new organ will be installed in the Methodist Church at Vestal, and an electric revolving cross will be placed on the spire of the church.
A Binghamton member of the Ku Klux Klan was killed in a gun battle involving three other Klansmen in Buffalo Sunday night.
Finally, a Chenango Bridge man pleaded guilty in court this morning to a charge of reckless driving. He was arrested last night on Front Street and charged with driving his automobile 40 miles an hour, while he had one arm around a woman companion. He was fined $8.
And that was the news 100 years ago.
