Century-old Ti — Hang a tomato can over it.

This is the latest in a series of posts about news reported a century ago in the Ticonderoga Sentinel.

Mrs. Alanson Moore took the first swim of the season at Eagle Lake, and Mrs. Mary Moore, (possibly a relative?), caught a pig by the hind legs in the chicken coop, the Eagle Lake correspondent reported July 22, 1920 in the Ticonderoga Sentinel.

A boater was chided, by name, for disturbing the correspondent’s solitude.

“The outboard motor used by Tim Stowell is so noisy it wakes us up mornings. He should hang a tomato can over the exhaust as a muffler.”

The Eagle Lake Inn was open under new management.

“Fishing, boating, bathing — tourists accommodated.”

In other July 22, 1920 Ticonderoga Sentinel news:

S.A. Hayes sold the Crowningshield Place farm at Streetroad to Mr. Doren of Port Henry, but was to continue living at the farm until spring.

Ambrose Hayes, formerly of Troy and originally from Mineville, bought the Bellevue Barbershop under the bank and opened on July 20.

“A first class barber in every respect, he should do a good business here.”

Ambrose Hayes was the brother of James Hayes, of Ticonderoga.

The Congregational Church held a reception on July 19 to honor Mrs. Richard Parker for teaching Sunday School for 40 years.

James Bartholomew of Ticonderoga bought a new Ford sedan.

The Sentinel hired Paul Crammond as a printer’s apprentice.

The Graphite Nine defeated the Silver Bay baseball team at Silver Bay on July 19, the third straight win for Graphite against the neighboring team.
