THE LITITZ An Independent Family Newspaper, Devoted to Literature, Agriculture, Local and General Intelligence. VOL. X X XY LITITZ, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9,1911. N O . fili OF 1061 EVENTS HAPPENINGS ABOUT THE TOWN AND VICINITY. Short and Snappy Paragraphs of Inter-est to Every Reader. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Showers an-nounce an addition to their family—on Wednesday—a bouncing baby boy. The paper mill has been closed down several bays this week on account of repairs to the boilers and machinery. W. B. Oehme reports business so active that it is necessary to use four , chairs in his barber shop on Saturdays. The handsome two-story brick resi-dence being erected on Front street, this borough, by U. S. Delp, is rapidly nearing completion. The borough authorities are at work macadmizing West Orange street, which has always been in a miserable condi-tion west of Spruce street. Miss M. J. Derr's Sunshine Circle of King's Daughters will spend this even-ing near the old Lititz mills at Rome as the guests of Miss Sadie Hess. The Roebuck memorial fountain is closed down for the winter term as usual and of course will be dry until next April, when it will resume business and quench the thirsty man and beast. The Lancaster Inquirer's annual in-stitute issue of last week is interesting and valuable as a reference sheet. The RECORD each year lays it aside for future use, which is quite frequent. Bertha, daughter of Isaac Stehman, entertained her girl classmates of the senior class of the high school last Fri-day evening. A very merry evening was spent. Refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Foltz and son moved to Lancaster this week, where he is employed in the cotton mills. Mr. L. L. Zook moved into Mr. Foltz's house on Front street. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Keller, of Colum-bia, 8. announce wie airival of daughter in their family. Mrs. Keller is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A Miksch of this borough. A sure evidence of the fact that winter is fast approaching was visible last Thursday afternoon, when snow fell quite rapidly for several minutes. I t melted as soon as it struck terra firma. Enos Fry, who was book-keeper at the Lititz paper box company, for the past two years or more, has gone to Palmyra, where he will be employed in a like capacity. Miss Emma Singer of Penryn is his successor. New subscribers to the RECORD will be given this and next month free, therefore one dollar will entitle you to nearly fourteen months subscription. Subscribe now and get all the local news. We are adding new names weekly. Our borough was a very quiet place on Tuesday, election day. The banks being closed was partly the cause and election day always is a day without much life or activity in most places, save at the polls in the larger cities. S. K. Buch, residing west of town, last week sold a fine heavy draft horse to Kendig, the Lancaster horsedealer, for $275. Mr. Buch is a past master in the art of fattening horses and dealers are always willing to pay big prices for his stock. "Tip," a valuable setter dog, owned by S. M. Huber, disappeared from his home on Monday of last week, since which time nothing has been heard as to his whereabouts. He is a pretty white dog with brown spots and the owner highly prized him. Letters addressed to — Miss Laura Austin, Miss Lillian Johnson, Mrs. Mag-gie Momert, Mrs. John Mellinger, Lizzie H.-Nolt, Miss A. Rote, Mrs. John L. Smith, Mr. Elwood Drake, Mr. Walter Johnson and J. F. Sprekler remain un- j called for in the Lititz post office. | Having been enlarged, repapered and in fact completely renovated, including the installation of sanitary bins in the grocery department, H. C. Miller and Bro. and now offering special bargains every Saturday at their store. Read their adv. elsewhere in the RECORD. Next week all our public school teach-ers will be attending the annual county teachers institute at Lancaster. The children in the meantime will be having things pretty much their own way. According to the new school code all teachers are paid for attending the in-stitute at the rate of $3 per day. The following persons in this vicinity have recently had Bell telephones in-stalled: Dr. J. L. Hertz, Michael Bear, Kinports Cigar factory, Lithograph Co., Lititz; Southern Pipe Line Co., L. S. Withers, Amos Martin, Millway; Zook's mill, Millport; P. P. Michael, Owl Hill; John Seibert, Wayne Zartman, Brun-nerville. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5) | WITH THE LOCAL NIMRODS Rabbits Continue to be Shot in Good-ly Numbers — Boys Use Rifles to Good Advantage — Stuffed Rabbit Shot. Rabbits continue to be shot in goodly numbers and the fragrance of the cot-tontails as they are being done to a turn daily permeates the air. Not for years have rabbits proved so plentiful. Veteran nimrods are not the only suc-cessful hunters, as .mere youths can be seen proudly marching home with one or more of the little animals dangling at their side. Several of the boys shoot them with rifles, Allen Putt holding the record with four for one day. Some few hunters have shot partrid-ges. Several coveys of these much-sought birds, which in late years were fast becoming extinct in this section, have been sighted and a few birds shot. One farmer, on whose land a covey holds forth, allows gunning for rab-bits, but protects the partridges. If the winter is not too severe there is a possibility of increased numbers next fall. Elmer Whitcraft shot a fine specimen of monkey-faced owl, which is some-what of a rarity hereabouts, on a farm near Pine Hill. The farmer happened to see the feathers fly, and thinking someone was shooting his chickens came to the scene in a hurry. His ire im-mediately subdued when he spied the dead owl. Clarence Carpenter caught a big grey squirrel with his hands, not however, until the squirrel had reminded him of the fact that it had teeth. The trolley car leaving Lititz at 8.15 on last Sunday morning decapitated a "bunny" south of town. The body was not mutilated, but strange to say no person took it home, although several pedestrians noticed it. Stuffed rabbits have again made their appearance. A local gunner, who pur-chased a new gun before the season opened and did not see a tail the first day, tried his luck on Saturday agrin. He wandered over field after field with-out result, but finally spied Bre'r Rab-bit neatly sitting beside a bunch of grass. He took careful aim and fired. The cottontail did not move an inch, and the hunter fired again. "Bunny" still was undisturbed. Hurriedly re-loading his gun the hunter fired once more,and when he saw it still maintain-ing its original position he "wised up," for the animal was stuffed. The gunner said nary a bad word; he is not that kind of a man, but his clear tenor voice rang out across the fields as he rendered the ditty, "I'm all alone." Later in the day, however, he shot a real live rabbit, and was so happy that he gave the joke away. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES ELECTED IN LANCASTER COUNTY. The Local Candidates of the Republican Party Win—Amendments to Constitu-tion Ligfatiy Considered. Tall Celery. Mr. D. S. High, the farmer and truck-er residing near Halfville, Elizabeth township, exhibited at the RECORD office a stalk of celery which was 4 feet 4 inches in height and weighed 6 pounds. It contained 27 stems and certainly was the biggest celery we ever saw or heard of. Mr. High says he has plenty others nearly if not quite as large. Boys Are Doing Fine. Mr. William Longenecker visited his son Guy, who is confined in the reform atory at Huntingdon, on Friday. Guy has made a great change since he has been there and has determined to make the most of his opportunities. He is learning the blacksmithing trade, for which he always had a desire, and has so well advanced that he will put shoes on horses in a few weeks. Harry Mohn, who is also confined there, is learning the wood carving trade. The boys also have an excellent chance to become educated, as they must attend night school. Both are in good health and from all appearances are content. Tuesday was election day and the result indicates that the majority of people stand for good government; that If the party in control abuses their privileges the people who helped elect them will also help to dispose of them. There was nothing to excite local voters, although there was a good turnout. It was the first election where borough and county officers were elected at the same time on the same ballot. This fact made voting quite a problem for a num-ber of people, There were few votes polled in local districts for or against the amendments to the constitution. 'I he city of Reading elects a Republi-can mayor to succeed a Democrat. The Socialists figured very strongly in the riple contest and came near electing their candidate for mayor. Following are the results in this sec-tion and other places where interest was shown : Litiiz Boro. The total vote polled in Lititz was 295. The ballots were badly cut and the election board was forced to work until 4 A. M. Wednesday before the final results were ascertained. The re-sult follows: Judge of the Orphans Court—Eugene G.

Hershey, occured at her home on Front street, this bor-ough, on Thursday of last week, at 11 o'clock P. M. Death resulted from uraemia, with which deceased was con-fined to bed for almost two years. Her age was 47 years, 1 month and 5 days. She was born in Fayette county and her maiden name was Sutton. She resided with her uncle Mr. H. C. Raymond, at Council Bluffs, Iowa, the greater part of her single life, owing to the death of her parents, where she became the wife of Rev. Hershey. She was a devout and active member of the Mennonite church and assisted her husband greatly in mission work when they resided in Olathe, Kansas. They moyed to Lititz seven years ago. Her husband and the following children survive: Willard, of Denver; Grace, Ruth, Harvey and Jacob, all at home. A half-brother, Mr. Leslie Cooper, of Marion, Iowa, and her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Ray-mond, also survive. The funeral was held on Monday forenoon, with services at the house, conducted by Rev. John Bucher, and in the Warwick Mennonite church, Revs. Jonas Hess, Noah Landis and Abram Hess officiating. Interment was made in Hess' cemetery. LOCAL RESIDENTS GOING PLACES.

County Surveyor—Alfred Wood, Checker Contests Being Waged. Checkers, the popular game of un-known origin, which history reveals as having been played as early as the 15th century, and which almost any person has played at some time or other, after being dormant, as it were, for some time, is being revived in Lititz with a vim. The Springs hotel is the scene of some highly exciting contests each even-ing, and some of the town's best expon-ents of the game are among the players. The cigar stores also are the scenes of nightly games, as are the private con-fines of the home. In fact, checkers are the prevailing pastime for profes-sional men and laborers alike, nowadays, and some of our champions could no doubt give Wm. D. 'Möhler, champion of this and Berks county, a run for the money. Persons who are not acquainted with the game are willing to go down to hu-miliating defeat so as to learn how to play scientifically; one man losing 40 straight games to a local "shark" be-fore he was able to be returned the winner.

LIIITZ MAN SAVED BOY'S LIFE Lewis Haines Rescued Ephrata Lad from Watery Grave with Fence Rail When He Came to Surface Second Time. Mr. Lewis Haines, of this place, sav-ed Irvin Hatt, ten-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hatt, residing on the Martin farm, adjoining the Cloister premises near Ephrata, from drowning on Sunday afternoon. While walking on the wooden guard rails of the newly-constructed street railway bridge span-ning the Cocalico creek west of Ephrata, in company with some other lads of about the same age, the little fellow lost his balance and fell headlong into the mill race alongside of the creek. The water is about eight feet deep and the boy was helpless. Our townsman was on the bridge at the time, and hearing the outcry of the unfortunate boy's companions, promptly responded to the cry of alarm. He jumped from the bridge to the land beneath and securing a rail from a fence shoved it into the water to the struggling lad. Irvin could not swim and was about to go down to his death, having already sank twice, when the rail came within reach. He caught hold of it and by its means was rescued. He was greatly fatigued, but in a short time was able to go to his home.

Besides town folks, there were guests present from Neffs-ville, Lancaster and Millersville. A Successful Trip. Dr. H. A. Cuppy, president of the Ideal Cocoa and Chocolate Co., who took a western business trip, re turned last week highly pleased with his success in marketing some of the products of this factory noted for superior goods. He took orders for a great deal more than he had anticipated, especially consider-ing this time of the year, when the new year is not far off and when merchants are more inclined to reduce than to in-crease their stock. Evidently Mr. Cuppy is a good salesman. Sugars have come down in price at Doster's. Bro. Ryan, of Court Reliance, the smallest member of the order in the county; Bros.

Full Text | THE LITITZ An Independent Family Newspaper, Devoted to Literature, Agriculture, Local and General Intelligence. VOL. X X XY LITITZ, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9,1911. N O . fili OF 1061 EVENTS HAPPENINGS ABOUT THE TOWN AND VICINITY. Short and Snappy Paragraphs of Inter-est to Every Reader. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Showers an-nounce an addition to their family—on Wednesday—a bouncing baby boy. The paper mill has been closed down several bays this week on account of repairs to the boilers and machinery. W. B. Oehme reports business so active that it is necessary to use four , chairs in his barber shop on Saturdays. The handsome two-story brick resi-dence being erected on Front street, this borough, by U. S. Delp, is rapidly nearing completion. The borough authorities are at work macadmizing West Orange street, which has always been in a miserable condi-tion west of Spruce street. Miss M. J. Derr's Sunshine Circle of King's Daughters will spend this even-ing near the old Lititz mills at Rome as the guests of Miss Sadie Hess. The Roebuck memorial fountain is closed down for the winter term as usual and of course will be dry until next April, when it will resume business and quench the thirsty man and beast. The Lancaster Inquirer's annual in-stitute issue of last week is interesting and valuable as a reference sheet. The RECORD each year lays it aside for future use, which is quite frequent. Bertha, daughter of Isaac Stehman, entertained her girl classmates of the senior class of the high school last Fri-day evening. A very merry evening was spent. Refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Foltz and son moved to Lancaster this week, where he is employed in the cotton mills. Mr. L. L. Zook moved into Mr. Foltz's house on Front street. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Keller, of Colum-bia, 8. announce wie airival of daughter in their family. Mrs. Keller is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A Miksch of this borough. A sure evidence of the fact that winter is fast approaching was visible last Thursday afternoon, when snow fell quite rapidly for several minutes. I t melted as soon as it struck terra firma. Enos Fry, who was book-keeper at the Lititz paper box company, for the past two years or more, has gone to Palmyra, where he will be employed in a like capacity. Miss Emma Singer of Penryn is his successor. New subscribers to the RECORD will be given this and next month free, therefore one dollar will entitle you to nearly fourteen months subscription. Subscribe now and get all the local news. We are adding new names weekly. Our borough was a very quiet place on Tuesday, election day. The banks being closed was partly the cause and election day always is a day without much life or activity in most places, save at the polls in the larger cities. S. K. Buch, residing west of town, last week sold a fine heavy draft horse to Kendig, the Lancaster horsedealer, for $275. Mr. Buch is a past master in the art of fattening horses and dealers are always willing to pay big prices for his stock. "Tip," a valuable setter dog, owned by S. M. Huber, disappeared from his home on Monday of last week, since which time nothing has been heard as to his whereabouts. He is a pretty white dog with brown spots and the owner highly prized him.

(CONTINUED ON PAGE 5) | WITH THE LOCAL NIMRODS Rabbits Continue to be Shot in Good-ly Numbers — Boys Use Rifles to Good Advantage — Stuffed Rabbit Shot. Rabbits continue to be shot in goodly numbers and the fragrance of the cot-tontails as they are being done to a turn daily permeates the air. Not for years have rabbits proved so plentiful. Veteran nimrods are not the only suc-cessful hunters, as .mere youths can be seen proudly marching home with one or more of the little animals dangling at their side. Several of the boys shoot them with rifles, Allen Putt holding the record with four for one day. Some few hunters have shot partrid-ges. Several coveys of these much-sought birds, which in late years were fast becoming extinct in this section, have been sighted and a few birds shot. One farmer, on whose land a covey holds forth, allows gunning for rab-bits, but protects the partridges. If the winter is not too severe there is a possibility of increased numbers next fall. Elmer Whitcraft shot a fine specimen of monkey-faced owl, which is some-what of a rarity hereabouts, on a farm near Pine Hill. The farmer happened to see the feathers fly, and thinking someone was shooting his chickens came to the scene in a hurry. His ire im-mediately subdued when he spied the dead owl. Clarence Carpenter caught a big grey squirrel with his hands, not however, until the squirrel had reminded him of the fact that it had teeth. The trolley car leaving Lititz at 8.15 on last Sunday morning decapitated a "bunny" south of town. The body was not mutilated, but strange to say no person took it home, although several pedestrians noticed it. Stuffed rabbits have again made their appearance. A local gunner, who pur-chased a new gun before the season opened and did not see a tail the first day, tried his luck on Saturday agrin. He wandered over field after field with-out result, but finally spied Bre'r Rab-bit neatly sitting beside a bunch of grass. He took careful aim and fired. The cottontail did not move an inch, and the hunter fired again. "Bunny" still was undisturbed. Hurriedly re-loading his gun the hunter fired once more,and when he saw it still maintain-ing its original position he "wised up," for the animal was stuffed. The gunner said nary a bad word; he is not that kind of a man, but his clear tenor voice rang out across the fields as he rendered the ditty, "I'm all alone." Later in the day, however, he shot a real live rabbit, and was so happy that he gave the joke away. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES ELECTED IN LANCASTER COUNTY. The Local Candidates of the Republican Party Win—Amendments to Constitu-tion Ligfatiy Considered. Tall Celery. Mr. D. S. High, the farmer and truck-er residing near Halfville, Elizabeth township, exhibited at the RECORD office a stalk of celery which was 4 feet 4 inches in height and weighed 6 pounds. It contained 27 stems and certainly was the biggest celery we ever saw or heard of. Mr. High says he has plenty others nearly if not quite as large. Boys Are Doing Fine. Mr. William Longenecker visited his son Guy, who is confined in the reform atory at Huntingdon, on Friday. Guy has made a great change since he has been there and has determined to make the most of his opportunities. He is learning the blacksmithing trade, for which he always had a desire, and has so well advanced that he will put shoes on horses in a few weeks. Harry Mohn, who is also confined there, is learning the wood carving trade. The boys also have an excellent chance to become educated, as they must attend night school. Both are in good health and from all appearances are content. Tuesday was election day and the result indicates that the majority of people stand for good government; that If the party in control abuses their privileges the people who helped elect them will also help to dispose of them. There was nothing to excite local voters, although there was a good turnout. It was the first election where borough and county officers were elected at the same time on the same ballot. This fact made voting quite a problem for a num-ber of people, There were few votes polled in local districts for or against the amendments to the constitution. 'I he city of Reading elects a Republi-can mayor to succeed a Democrat. The Socialists figured very strongly in the riple contest and came near electing their candidate for mayor. Following are the results in this sec-tion and other places where interest was shown : Litiiz Boro. The total vote polled in Lititz was 295. The ballots were badly cut and the election board was forced to work until 4 A. M. Wednesday before the final results were ascertained. The re-sult follows: Judge of the Orphans Court—Eugene G.

County Surveyor—Alfred Wood, Checker Contests Being Waged. Checkers, the popular game of un-known origin, which history reveals as having been played as early as the 15th century, and which almost any person has played at some time or other, after being dormant, as it were, for some time, is being revived in Lititz with a vim. The Springs hotel is the scene of some highly exciting contests each even-ing, and some of the town's best expon-ents of the game are among the players. The cigar stores also are the scenes of nightly games, as are the private con-fines of the home. In fact, checkers are the prevailing pastime for profes-sional men and laborers alike, nowadays, and some of our champions could no doubt give Wm. D. 'Möhler, champion of this and Berks county, a run for the money. Persons who are not acquainted with the game are willing to go down to hu-miliating defeat so as to learn how to play scientifically; one man losing 40 straight games to a local "shark" be-fore he was able to be returned the winner.

LIIITZ MAN SAVED BOY'S LIFE Lewis Haines Rescued Ephrata Lad from Watery Grave with Fence Rail When He Came to Surface Second Time. Mr. Lewis Haines, of this place, sav-ed Irvin Hatt, ten-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hatt, residing on the Martin farm, adjoining the Cloister premises near Ephrata, from drowning on Sunday afternoon. While walking on the wooden guard rails of the newly-constructed street railway bridge span-ning the Cocalico creek west of Ephrata, in company with some other lads of about the same age, the little fellow lost his balance and fell headlong into the mill race alongside of the creek. The water is about eight feet deep and the boy was helpless. Our townsman was on the bridge at the time, and hearing the outcry of the unfortunate boy's companions, promptly responded to the cry of alarm. He jumped from the bridge to the land beneath and securing a rail from a fence shoved it into the water to the struggling lad. Irvin could not swim and was about to go down to his death, having already sank twice, when the rail came within reach. He caught hold of it and by its means was rescued. He was greatly fatigued, but in a short time was able to go to his home.
