Thursday, Nov, 7, 1895 - A Call At Aurora

Aurora is not content at being "Goddess of the Morning," but, has included the evening, too, by the aid of electric lights. The introduction was celebrated last Saturday evening with a band of music and general rejoicing. The Advertiser understands the enterprise is due to private generosity, N. Lansing Zabriskie being the chief benefactor…The creamery is prospering under the supervision of B. White. Its products are consumed by the fair girls of Wells college, Sage and other institutions…The Cayuga Lake Military Academy is flourishing under the skilful management of Prof. A. K. McAlpine. About two years more and it will celebrate its first centennial, the school having been founded in 1798…Morgan's store is another of the ancient landmarks, established in 1801. It still continues to be well patronized under the management of C. B. Morgan…Large shipments of apples, hay and other produce are made by Sanford Lyon…E.W. Mosher, cashier of the First National Bank and clerk of Wells college is also noted for the fine herd of blooded cattle he raises…Photographer Cowles continues his Monday visits each week…Last but not least comes undertaker Patrick Seliney, who has performed the last sad rites for the inhabitants of this pretty lakeside village for long years.
