Grand Excursion

---

   There will be an excursion from Truxton, Crain's Mills, Cuyler, DeRuyter, Otselic, Beaver Meadow, Lower Beaver Meadow, Ireland's Mills, Plymouth, and Frinkville, on Tuesday, September 25, 1877, to North Bay and Oneida Community. Music will be furnished by the Otselic Valley Cornet Band. Tickets for round trip, 75 cents from all stations. Children under 12 years of age and under, 35 cents.

   All are earnestly requested to purchase tickets before the day of the excursion, so there may be cars furnished for all, and also to avoid confusion on that morning. Train will leave Truxton 5:56 a.m., Crain's Mills 6:03, Cuyler 6:13, DeRuyter 6:33, Otselic 7:14, Beaver Meadow 7:34, Lower Beaver meadow 7:39, Ireland's Mills 7:46, Plymouth 8:01, Frinkville, 8:14. Returning, will leave North Bay at 2:30 p.m., spending two hours in Oneida Community.

   North Bay is situated on the Oneida Lake, a beautiful body of water, and the grounds are nicely fitted up for excursionists. A steamboat will be in readiness to give all an opportunity to take a ride on the lake. Tickets for sale at the above named stations and principal stores at Truxton and DeRuyter two days previous to excursion.

   These cheap excursions are just what the people need, and here is one to the Oneida Lake, and also to Oneida Community, both in one - which give the people a chance for a long ride - a chance to see fine scenery and to obtain a large amount of recreation for comparatively a very small outlay. Every one who can possibly go, should avail themselves of this chance.
