Some event, of some importance, took place in the old Hotel building on this date in 1886.
Mr. Hudson uncovered some wall boards upon which is written
"June 14, 1886" and a list of six different groups of letters.
I've tried enhancing this photograph, but cannot make out what they are or mean:
perhaps they are, literally, Greek!

Yesterday it was warm and sunny and a much more pleasant day for Farmers Market than it had been a week ago, when the temperature was hovering at the forty-degree mark!
Up at "The Dugway," South of Clinton, there were several people enjoying the ever-deepening pool and resulting water slide.
Black Locust trees are filled with fragrant flowers.

Yes! On the front porch of the Rectory at St. Bernard's Catholic Church, the tomato plants - backed by palm trees - are blooming!
Paving operations on Route 315 have reached the bridge just South of Bogan and Sally Roads.
As of four o'clock yesterday afternoon, traffic was restricted to a single lane between the Peterson residence and Brothertown Road.
Saving gas and getting some great exercise, Andy Dorr - who's been rollerblading for several years - gave some impressive sweeps around the CVS parkinglot as he finished up his commute to work at Roc's!

Nowhere in the news did I find a single mention of last evening's power outage or the reason for it! All I know is that sometime around 5:25 , my monitor went black and the TV remote was powerless. Fire Police turned out to direct traffic at the corner of Stafford and Main Street where traffic signals didn't do anything, saying that they're information hinted that the situation might last for several hours.
Cooking on electric stoves was out, of course, and "going out" to eat anywhere in the village was out of the question, as well, so grills were fired up and lanterns and flashlights located. There was a great deal of telephone chat, of course, about what everyone would do for entertainment - without TV or the www - and just when I'd decided that watching DVDs of "Murder She Wrote" on a fully-charged laptop was really sort-of fun ------------ at about 7:30 (far earlier than predicted) the refrigerator suddenly hummed and clocks on the coffeepot and microwave blinked.
Silly as it sounds, I know that I was not the ONLY one who said to themselves, "Aw shucks!" and ruefully returned to the fully-powered 21st century.
