U n o OF R I I
RECEIVED THEIR LAST SUMMONS.
"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

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.
Five children survive, as follows:
Mrs. Lizzie Witmer of Rothsville; Mrs.
Levi Rudy, of Lititz; John M. Behmer,
of Owl Hill; Mrs. Ada Murr, of Buffalo,
N. Y.; Mrs Martha Mundorf, of Brun-nerville.
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. The funeral was
held on Monday morning with services
at the house and at the Rothsville Luth-theran
church, near which interment
was made. Rev. J. W. Bittner, of Lit-itz,
officiated.
Eggs sold at 29 and 30 cents at the
local market, last Saturday. Butter

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 was

Death of a Child.
Mary, the eight-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Wallace M. Zook, died

parents, at Disston, formerly Millport,
from pneumonia, after an illness of only
three days. She was a pupil of Sunny-side

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. He was also
a member of the American Academy of
Political Science. He was judge of the
educational exhibit of the world's fair
at St. Louis. Dr. Lyte was born near
Bird-in-Hand. He was preparing for
college •when the war of the rebellion
broke out and he enlisted in the Union
cause, serving a full term of three years.
Upon returning from the war he renew-ed
his studies and in 1868 graduated
from Millersville and was immediately
made a member of the faculty and later
its principal, and as such became known
by thousands of people in the entire
country.

at 10 A. M., with services in the Me-chanicsburg
Lutheran Church and in-terment

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

SUICIDE AT BRETHREN HOME
LOCAL RESIDENTS 60IN6 TO OTHER
PLACES.
The Cold and Chilly Winter Blasts Do
Not Keep Everybody Indoors
Body of Aaron Whitcraft Found Dang-ling
From- a Rope Attached to Rafter
in Barn.

an inmate of the Church of the Breth-ren

LEVI M. BARD'S FATAL MISTAKE.
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. Mistaking a mixture
of carbolic acid for castor oil, Mr. Bard
drank it and died
He had been suffering from a car-buncle
on the neck, and on medical ad-vice
was treating it with the mixture
alluded to. He mistook the two drugs
while in a hurry. The terrible pain that
followed informed him of his mistake,
and he quickly informed his wife, who
administered the usual household relief
until the arrival of a physician, Dr.
Walters, of Brownstown, but death fol-lowed
a short time after the fatal mis-take
was made.
The deceased was in his twenty-fourth
year, and was a son of the late Ulysses
G. Bard, who conducted the Voganville
store for many years. Since last May
the store was carried on by Levi. The
young man was well-known by many
persons in this vicinity. On April 8,
1912, he was united in marriage to Miss
Fannie Brubaker, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Brubaker, who reside on
front street, Warwick. She survives
him, as does his mother and one sister.
The funeral was held on Wednesday
morning, with services in Bergstrasse
church and interment in the adjoining
cemetery.

LITITZ WILL HAVE CHAUTAUQUA.
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.

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 ?
