Rooneys Move

Notes from Aqueduct

Charles Rooney and family have moved to Pear Tree avenue.

The musical services held at the Centreville avenue M. P. Church last Saturday evening proved very interesting.

Mrs. William Blandy, wife of Rev. W. P. Blandy, has returned from Atlantic City, N. J. She will conduct services next Sunday evening in the M. P. Church.
