i3 displaying four Imperial automobiles
at the Lancaster fair this week, among
them a 1913 model which is a beauty in
every particular. The Leaman Motor

An amusement company consisting of
a man and his wife, gave an open-air
exhibition at the freight yards on Mon-day
night before a large audience. They

which appeared to meet with the ap-proval
of the crowd. They went from
here to Denver.
The RECORD last week announced that
H. D. Hollinger had sold out his confec-tionery
and green grocery. Such is not
the case, as the party supposed to have
bought it suddenly changed his mind.
Mr. Hollinger will therefore continue to
do business a t the old stand, which fact
his many friends will be pleased to learn.
Tuesday was Children's Day at the
Lancaster fair. All school children

Farmers Unable to Harvest all of the
Weed in Time—Scarcity of Help and
as Much as $ 3 . 0 0 Per Day Paid.
The cold wave from the north which
swept over eastern Pennsylvania during
Sunday night, sent the mercury down
to such a degree that Jack Frost put in
his appearance on Monday morning. A
much heavier frost was perceptible on
Tuesday morning. The farmers, at
least a goodly number of them in this
section, were not prepared for the frost,
as they have lots of tobacco which has
not yet been harvested; for instance,
one farmer had 15 acres of the weed yet
to harvest on Monday. Farmers, how-ever,
report that the frost did little
damage to the hundreds of acres still in
the field.
These farmers are working with
might and main this week to harvest
their crop, as the continued rains great-ly
retarded them last week. The
trouble the farmer is experiencing this
week is scarcity of help. As much as
$3.00 per day and board was offered by
the farmers. Many men have deserted
the factories for a few days and are
' 'down on the f a r m . ' ' One farme'r sent
six young fellows out from Lancaster
to go on his farm on Monday. No ex-perience
is needed, as the farmer will
teach what is to be done in a short
time. All in all the corn has reached
maturity and will not be damaged to
any extent by the frost.
The following incident shows how
farmers who had tobacco to harvest
"nursed" all available help. A farmer
residing near Lititz furnished four ho-boes
board and lodging all of the rainy
days of last week on condition that they
would help harvest the weed when the
weather permitted. Alas, when the
sun finally made its appearance on Sat-urday
the hoboes had disappeared.
A farmer residing near Kissel Hill
saved his tobacco from being damaged
by the frost by keeping' bonfires burn-ing
at various places in his field all of
Monday night. Others worked far into
the night hauling their crops into shel-ter
by means of the bright moonlight.
Jack Frost is welcomed with open
arms by Young America, however, for
now they can hie to some favorite
chestnut tree in search of the palatable
brown nuts. The effect of the frost'
has been almost magical upon the burrs,
which are now opened. In spite of the
inroads made by the blight in some
localities, chestnuts are plentiful in
this locality this year, and from now on
nutting will be on in earnest.
II A
RECEIVED THEIR LAST SUMMONS.
Jesse W. Treisch of Schoeneck.
Jesse W. Treisch, one of the best
known citizens of the northern end,
died at his home in Schoeneck Thursday,
September 26, aged .74 years, 6 months
and 9 days, a f t e r an illness of three days
from apoplexy. He was a blacksmith,
having sounded the anvil for the last 56
years, and a majority of all those years
in the village of Schoeneck, and was
always regarded as a first class mechan-ic.
He is survived by his wife, Anna,
and the following children : William and
Phares of Schoeneck; Louisa, wife of
W. R. Roth of' Reading. The funeral
was held from his late home on Tuesday
and at Mellinger's meeting house, near
Schoeneck. Interment in the adjoining

wife of Augustus Habecker, oc-curred
at the home of her son William,
midway between Brickerville and Clay,
On Tuesday, following an illness of some
time with a complication of diseases,
aged 70 years. Her maiden name was
Messner and she was born in the vicin-ity
of Hopeland, Clay township, Be-sides
her husband thé following children
survive: William, with whom she resid-ed;
Kansas, at home; Mrs. Levi Becker,
of Ephrata; Mrs. Ernest Weidman, of
Mt. Airy. Mrs. Michael Engle, of War-wick,
is a sister. The funeral will be
held on Friday afternoon, with services
at the house at 2 o'clock, followed by
services in the Emanuel's Lutheran
church, Brickerville. Interment will be
in the adjoining cemetery.
A Fine Delivery Wagon.
S. C. Hassler,proprietor of the Model
bakery on West Main street* put a new
delivery wagon on the streets of town
this week, which is admired by all who
see it. It is a model wagon in every re-spect
and was built and painted at
Michael Bear's carriage works. Mr.
Hassler, as well as Griffith Schott, who
has charge of the vehicle when it is in
service, can well feel proud of this
latest acquisition.
Narrow Escape from Being Hit by
Stray Bullet.
While Hiram Demmy, employed at
Linden Hall, was working in t h e garden
south of that place on Monday, he had
a narrow escape from being hit by stray
bullets. One of the bullets sped past
his head and was in such close proxim-ity
that Mr. Demmy felt the wind caus-ed
by it. Another bullet landed on the
ground a few feet in front of him. They
came from a rifle in the hands of boys
living nearby, whose parents moved
here recently and apparenty did not
know that there is an ordinance pro-hibiting
such shooting.
Final Dividend to Lititz National Bank.
Wm. R. Harnish, shareholders' agent
of the Lititz National Bank, has filed his
final account in the United States Dis-trict
Court. Under this account the
Court has authorized the payment of
the final dividend of13J per cent, to all
of the share-holders. This dividend will
be paid at the Lititz Springs National
Bank to-day.
All the debts and obligations of the
bank have been paid and with this final
dividend the share-holders of the bank
will have received 48i per cent, of the
par value of the stock. Considering the
unfortunate condition of the bank at the
time it was compelled to close its doors
on April 19, 1909, the payment of such a
large percentage to the share-holders,
in addition to the settlement of all of
the debts of the bank, is considered
very good and speaks well for those who
had the settlement in charge. Judge
Holland of the Federal District Court at
Philadelphia, remarked this is the first
time the Court had occasion to order a
dividend paid the stockholders of a de-funct
National Bank.
Joseph Zug.
The death of Joseph Zug occurred at
5 o'clock on Tuesday morning at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. John Wid-ders,
near Disston, from general debili-ty.
He was eighty-five years old and
was a farmer by occupation. He had
lived in Fairland and dealt in horses.
These children survive: ^Andrew Zug,
of East Petersburg; Allen Zug, of
Rochester, N. Y. ; Nathan Zug, Phila-delphia;
: Mrs. Cyrus Reed, Lebanon;
Mrs. Samuel Reed, Manheim; and Mrs.
Widders. Mrs. Aaron Reist of near
Lititz, is a sister of the deceased. The
funeral was held at the Brethren church,
Lititz, at 1 o'clock to-day. Interment

While ready to take a drive from his
home on South Broad street, Graybill
Bitzer's horse shied at a passing object
and turned around so short that he upset
the vehicle and threw Mr. Bitzer out.
The horse ran toward the stable, drag-ging
his owner some distance and kicked
all he could. His feet came in contact
with the buggy and he received a num-ber
of outs in his legs. Outside of a
mud bath Mr. Bitzer escaped uninjured
Local Bantams at Allentown.
There were about 75 head of fancy
bantams entered in competition by local
breeders at the great poultry show
held in connection with the Allentown
fair last week. A number of ribbons
were won by our fanciers, although
they were not as successful as in for-mer
years, undoubtedly due to the fact
that the majority of the feathered beau-ties
were not over the molting period,
and in poor condition to exhibit at a
show where the very best is entered.
