"For Grabe's a Jolly Good Fellow." Once each year Mr, Gray-bill G. Diehm, of this place, has a "set-out" for a number of his friends at the bungalow along the Conestoga ereek near Oregon. This event occurred on Monday and to state that it was a most enjoyable af-fair is putting it mildly. The party spent the greater part of the day at the bungalow and various forms of amuse-ment were indulged in, including trap shooting, with blue rocks as the targets. Of course Graybill had taken into con-sideration the wants of the inner man when arranging the affair, and the feast was one that the participants thereof will not forget for some time to come. When the time for dining ar-rived a 65-pound roasted pig stuffed with 150 prime oysters was set before them with the instructions "go to it, boys" and the boys attacked the piggy and other palatable dishes in a manner that would have won a prize in an eat-ing contest. Despite the prodigious capacity of the guests, they found that their host had provided most generous-ly, and for once in their lives they had to throw up their hands and cry "enough." The party remained at the bungalow until after nightfall, when, after uniting in singing "For Grabe's a jolly good fellow," they started home. Those in attendance were: Wilbur Meis-key, Jacob Wissler, of Lancaster; J. B. Leib, W. E. Fasnacht, Frank Rader, C. B. Snavely, H. E. Workman, of this place. Thieves Frustrated at Ritchie's Kestanrant C. E. Ritchie's restaurant, near the railroad depot, was the objective point for thieves on Tuesday evening, but they were frustated in their efforts to secure whatever plunder they were af-ter. Mr. Ritchie had attended the union services in the United Evang. church, and after its conclusion went to the restaurant about 9.30 o'clock to join his wife who had charge of the place during the evening. When he arrived there he found that Mrs. Ritchie had closed for the night. Thinking that possibly she was in the rear part of the building he walk-ed over the porch on the north side. Arriving at the rear of the building he was surprised to see two fellows sudden-ly appear and run away at top speed. Thereupon he became suspicious and de-cided to investigate, and in a short time discovered the fellows had been in the building. They had gained entrance by forcing a rear window open with a pick, which the proprietor uses to chop ice. Mr. Ritchie's timely arrival undoubtedly frustrated their plans, as nothing was missing, although a small amount of money remained in the cash drawer, which was open. The proprietor thinks that the marauders weae young fellows, as they were both of small stature. Death of Mrs. Mary K. Behmer. Mrs. Mary K. Behmer died very sud-denly about 10 o'clock on Thursday morning at her home at Owl Hill, south-east of Lititz. She had been doing her housework as usual, when she became ill and died before a physician arrived. Her age was seventy-two years. Her maiden name was Myers, and she was born in Manheim township, near Neffs-ville. Her husband, Henry Behmer, died about 5 years ago. She was a mem-ber of the Lutheran church at Roths-ville.

Thirty-two grandchildren and four great grandchildren survive. One brother, Christ Myers, of Glenark, 111., and one sister, Mrs. Mattie Shaar, of Lancaster, are living.

Eggs sold at 29 and 30 cents at the local market, last Saturday. Butter stood firm at 36 cents. Mrs. Hannah Martzall. Mrs. Hannan Martzall died on Wed-nesday, January 2, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Samuel Hoover, in West Earl township, near Ephrata. She was 83 years of age and death was the re-sult of old age and complications. Her hnsband died several years ago. She is survived by the following children: John, of Denver; Mrs. Wayne Sweigart, of Ephrata, and Mrs. Peter Heagy, who lives near Ephrata.

The funeral took place on Wed-nesday morning with interment at Mid-dle Creek Meeting-house. Dr. £ . Oram Lyte Dr. E. Oram Lyte, for twenty-five years principal of the Millersville State Normal School, died at his home at Lan-caster on Friday, at the age of 70 years. He assumed the principalship in 1887 and filled it until about a year ago. His works on languages, bookkeeping and music are widely known and are em-ployed in many schools. In 1891 he was president of the Pennsylvania State Teachers' Association, and in 1899 he was elected president of the National Educational Association.

The funeral will be held from his late home on Saturday at 10 A. M., with services in the Me-chanicsburg Lutheran Church and in-terment in the adjoining cemetery. Advertisie if You Want to Get Ahead THE reason that newspaper advertis-ing pays so well, is that it brings your wares quickly to the attention of those people who are interested in them. It places you in direct communication with persons who want to buy your goods. There is absolutely no limit to the ter-ritory you can cover. That the adver-tising creates a demand for goods is a fact so thoroughly proven by the con-stant increase in the amount of adver-tising as to need no argument. ACCIDENT RESULTED FATALLY 1 saac Bomberger, a Well Known Young Man, of Elizabeth Township, Suc-cumbed to Injuries Sustained in a Fall. Isaac Bomberger, son of Mary and the late Emanuel Bomberger, residing about a mile east of Elm and near the Speedwell lands, in Elizabeth township, died on Sunday evening from thé effect's of injuries sustained in an accident the Thursday previous.

Voganville Merchant Took Carbolic Acid for Caster Oil. Wife's Parents Reside Here. Levi Martin Bard, the well-known merchant of Voganville, departed this life very suddenly on Saturday after-noon at his home as the result of a fatal mistake, which he made a short time be-fore he expired.

He mistook the two drugs while in a hurry.

After Strenuous Efforts Miss Grace Hershey, Field Secretary, Succeeded in Securing 100 Pledges. This borough will again have the Chautauqua next summer. After sev-eral days of strenuous efforts, Miss Grace Hershey, the field secretary of the Swarthmore Chautauqua Associa-tion, last Thursday afternoon succeeded in securing 100 signers, each of which * pledges to guarantee seven season tick-ets, value $2.00 each, or an aggregate of 700 tickets or $1400, which the asso-ciation demanded before it would again hold the Chautauqua in. Lititz. This year these tickets will be sold at Ha-becker's book store, and if the seven hundred tickets are not all sold, the 100 signers will be equally assessed to make up the deficiency for the required $1400. The Chautauqua, which was held for the first time last summer, was a reve-lation to the majority of our citizens, who were highly elated at the excellent numbet of instructive and entertaining sessions, including Ciricillo's Italian band, Mrs. Pickett, Hon. Hobson and others. Believing that Lititz would welcome the return of the Chautauqua this year, ¡efforts were at once begun to secure the necessary financial backing to safeguard the association. Several attempts^were made by Miss Hershey but, although she always secured a num-ber of^signitures, they were not suffici-ent to warrant the return of the Chau-tauqua. Last Thursday, however, the remainder of the 100 signatures were secured, and Miss Hershey, who is a graduate'of Linden Hall, and who has more than'a passing interest in Lititz, deserves the congratulations of the en-tire community for her successful ef-forts. The Chautauqua Association promises even a better series of entertainments this year than last. There will be sev-en days session instead of six, and ef-forts are being made to secure the ser-vices of Hon. William Jennings Bryan as one of the attractions. Four New Pupils at Linden Hal!. Following the Christmas recess, dur-ing which the majority of pupils visited their homes, Linden Hall Seminary op-ened for'the winter term on Friday, and once again'this Alma Mater of hundreds; of women is the scene of study and like-wise pleasure of the scholars. The in-stitution is" in a more flourishing condi-tion than for srveral years, and Rev. E. S. Hagen, the principal, as well as his staff of assistants, deserve praise for the manner in which they are upbuilding this grand institution, where a "health-ful, moral, Imental and physical atmos-phere" prevails. Four new pupils en-tered the school on Friday, namely: Miss Ruth Karns, of Tower City ; Miss Virginia Iredell, of Allentown; Miss Sallie Marvil, of Laurel, Del., and Miss Helen Mae [.Oakley, of Tenafly, N. J. Prospects arsSbright for the enrollment of several other young ladies, all of which'is a source of deep gratification to all who are connected with the school. Last Chapter in Bank Failure On Friday, on motion of Harnish & Harnish, counsel for William R. Har-nish, shareholders' agent of the Lititz National Bank, the United States Dis-trict Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ratified and confirmed the third and final dividend paid by the said shareholders' agent to the shareholders of said bank, and finally discharged Mr. Harnish as shareholders' agent. The total amount of dividends paid to the shareholders of said institution was 48J per cent., all the creditors and de-positors having been paid in full. An Efficient Solicitor. A branch line of the Bell Telephone Co. has been constructed from Lancas-ter to Neffsville. There are ten sub-scribers, each of which has direct ser-vice. The Church of the Brethren Home and Abram Kreider, residing east of the home, are on the new line, which was constructed through the efficient work of our townsman, Wayne Longen-ecker, who is employed by the Bell con- More Lengthy Tobacco. The RECORD last week contained an article about a monster tobacco leaf grown by John Yerger, of Warwick, which measured 42 inches in length. It was generally conceded to be the champ-ion leaf, but the article set others to measuring and William Gerhart, of Schoeneck, informs us that he found one leaf measuring 45 and another 44J inches-in length, while a number are 42 inches long. Can this be beat ? New Roadmaster for Warwick Town-ship. Levi Risser of Brunnerville, last week resigned his position of roadmaster of Warwick township.

"For Grabe's a Jolly Good Fellow." Once each year Mr, Gray-bill G. Diehm, of this place, has a "set-out" for a number of his friends at the bungalow along the Conestoga ereek near Oregon. This event occurred on Monday and to state that it was a most enjoyable af-fair is putting it mildly. The party spent the greater part of the day at the bungalow and various forms of amuse-ment were indulged in, including trap shooting, with blue rocks as the targets. Of course Graybill had taken into con-sideration the wants of the inner man when arranging the affair, and the feast was one that the participants thereof will not forget for some time to come. When the time for dining ar-rived a 65-pound roasted pig stuffed with 150 prime oysters was set before them with the instructions "go to it, boys" and the boys attacked the piggy and other palatable dishes in a manner that would have won a prize in an eat-ing contest. Despite the prodigious capacity of the guests, they found that their host had provided most generous-ly, and for once in their lives they had to throw up their hands and cry "enough." The party remained at the bungalow until after nightfall, when, after uniting in singing "For Grabe's a jolly good fellow," they started home. Those in attendance were: Wilbur Meis-key, Jacob Wissler, of Lancaster; J. B. Leib, W. E. Fasnacht, Frank Rader, C. B. Snavely, H. E. Workman, of this place. Thieves Frustrated at Ritchie's Kestanrant C. E. Ritchie's restaurant, near the railroad depot, was the objective point for thieves on Tuesday evening, but they were frustated in their efforts to secure whatever plunder they were af-ter. Mr. Ritchie had attended the union services in the United Evang. church, and after its conclusion went to the restaurant about 9.30 o'clock to join his wife who had charge of the place during the evening. When he arrived there he found that Mrs. Ritchie had closed for the night. Thinking that possibly she was in the rear part of the building he walk-ed over the porch on the north side. Arriving at the rear of the building he was surprised to see two fellows sudden-ly appear and run away at top speed. Thereupon he became suspicious and de-cided to investigate, and in a short time discovered the fellows had been in the building. They had gained entrance by forcing a rear window open with a pick, which the proprietor uses to chop ice. Mr. Ritchie's timely arrival undoubtedly frustrated their plans, as nothing was missing, although a small amount of money remained in the cash drawer, which was open. The proprietor thinks that the marauders weae young fellows, as they were both of small stature. Death of Mrs. Mary K. Behmer. Mrs. Mary K. Behmer died very sud-denly about 10 o'clock on Thursday morning at her home at Owl Hill, south-east of Lititz.

Advertisie if You Want to Get Ahead THE reason that newspaper advertis-ing pays so well, is that it brings your wares quickly to the attention of those people who are interested in them. It places you in direct communication with persons who want to buy your goods. There is absolutely no limit to the ter-ritory you can cover. That the adver-tising creates a demand for goods is a fact so thoroughly proven by the con-stant increase in the amount of adver-tising as to need no argument.

After Strenuous Efforts Miss Grace Hershey, Field Secretary, Succeeded in Securing 100 Pledges. This borough will again have the Chautauqua next summer. After sev-eral days of strenuous efforts, Miss Grace Hershey, the field secretary of the Swarthmore Chautauqua Associa-tion, last Thursday afternoon succeeded in securing 100 signers, each of which * pledges to guarantee seven season tick-ets, value $2.00 each, or an aggregate of 700 tickets or $1400, which the asso-ciation demanded before it would again hold the Chautauqua in. Lititz. This year these tickets will be sold at Ha-becker's book store, and if the seven hundred tickets are not all sold, the 100 signers will be equally assessed to make up the deficiency for the required $1400. The Chautauqua, which was held for the first time last summer, was a reve-lation to the majority of our citizens, who were highly elated at the excellent numbet of instructive and entertaining sessions, including Ciricillo's Italian band, Mrs. Pickett, Hon. Hobson and others. Believing that Lititz would welcome the return of the Chautauqua this year, ¡efforts were at once begun to secure the necessary financial backing to safeguard the association. Several attempts^were made by Miss Hershey but, although she always secured a num-ber of^signitures, they were not suffici-ent to warrant the return of the Chau-tauqua. Last Thursday, however, the remainder of the 100 signatures were secured, and Miss Hershey, who is a graduate'of Linden Hall, and who has more than'a passing interest in Lititz, deserves the congratulations of the en-tire community for her successful ef-forts. The Chautauqua Association promises even a better series of entertainments this year than last. There will be sev-en days session instead of six, and ef-forts are being made to secure the ser-vices of Hon. William Jennings Bryan as one of the attractions. Four New Pupils at Linden Hal!. Following the Christmas recess, dur-ing which the majority of pupils visited their homes, Linden Hall Seminary op-ened for'the winter term on Friday, and once again'this Alma Mater of hundreds; of women is the scene of study and like-wise pleasure of the scholars. The in-stitution is" in a more flourishing condi-tion than for srveral years, and Rev. E. S. Hagen, the principal, as well as his staff of assistants, deserve praise for the manner in which they are upbuilding this grand institution, where a "health-ful, moral, Imental and physical atmos-phere" prevails. Four new pupils en-tered the school on Friday, namely: Miss Ruth Karns, of Tower City ; Miss Virginia Iredell, of Allentown; Miss Sallie Marvil, of Laurel, Del., and Miss Helen Mae [.Oakley, of Tenafly, N.

The RECORD last week contained an article about a monster tobacco leaf grown by John Yerger, of Warwick, which measured 42 inches in length. It was generally conceded to be the champ-ion leaf, but the article set others to measuring and William Gerhart, of Schoeneck, informs us that he found one leaf measuring 45 and another 44J inches-in length, while a number are 42 inches long.
