M. M. Souders has charge of the Edi-son Electric Co.'s interests at this place during the incapacity of Chas. Loercher, who was injured a few weeks ago, when he fell from a wagon. Messrs. Samuel Foltz, Chas. Kreider, N. D. Sturgis and Harry R. Wertsch went to the Holtwood dam along the Susquehanna on Tuesday to fish. They caught five bass and salmon. Apparently more farmers have raised watermelons and canteloupes this sum-mer than ever before hereabouts, for every day they can be bought on our streets at unusually low prices.

C. club room above Mathers' barber-shop on Friday evening at 8 o'clock, when the organization of a team will be effected.

Eberly Were Chosen on Wednesday Even-ing. Both Received Same Number of Votes A most important meeting of the members of the Lititz Church of the Brethren was held at this place on Wed-nesday evening, for the purpose of electing a minister and two deacons. Practically the entire membership at-tended and after the ballot was taken for minister it was found that Henry R. Gibbel and Harvey H. Eberly had receiv-ed the same number of votes. Usually, in case of a tie, the matter is decided by lot, but when it became known that a tie had resulted, the congregation ex-pressed a desire that both should be ordained, and this action was taken, Bishop H. E. Light ordaining the newly-elected ministers. The vote for two deacons resulted in John R. Gibble and Henry Nies being elected. The following ministers conducted the election: Bishop I. W. Taylor, who presided, Biship H. E. Light and Elders A. S. Hottenstein, Henry S. Sonon, Cyrus R. Gibbel. The newly-elected officers will enter upon their new duties at once. There is no doubt but that they are most capable to fill the import-ant positions and will certainly add strength to the local church. Two Runaways On Monday morning while Addison Felker, residing at Kissel Hill, had a horse attached to a market wagon stand-ing at Garber's creamery, the animal took fright and started on a mad dash up the alley at the Sturgis hotel. Con-tinuing across Main street, the wagon came in contact with a telephone pole in front of Robert Russel's residence and the glass doors of the vehicle were smashed by the force of the impact. The horse still attached to the wagon ran to Juniper alley and then to Broad i s l i t e t . W'DCU trie ¿iiiiiijcil » v . i . i . ' t i ie trolley track on the latter street he fell, but at once arose and ran some more. Roy Pfautz made a heroic and success-ful attempt to stop the fleeing horse. He matched his speed with that of the horse and grabbed the bridle, holding on to it as he followed the horse about 200 feet before bringing him to a halt. Beyond the damaged wagon, no damage resulted. On Sunday morning a horse owned by Christian Brookmyer, also of Kissel Hill, became frightened while standing at the creamery and ran up the alley to I. H. Doster's barn. Here the vehicle collided with the barn and the harness tore. The horse was set free and ran to Dr. E. E. Evans' home where he was caught. The wagon was not damaged. RECEIVED LAST SUMMONS NUMEROUS PERSONS CALLED TO THE GREAT BEYOND. THE BLOSSOM HILL FRUIT FARMS Rev. Henry T. Clymer Dead Rev. Henry T. Clymer, former pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, Lancaster, and St.Jamps' Lutheran church, Lititz, died on Friday afternoon at Tamaqua from the effects pf a paralytic stroke. Rev. Clymer was stricken while supplying a pulpit at Tamaqua, shortly after the evening service, in Zion Lutheran church. He left his charge in Lancaster two years ago because of ill health. Rev. Clymer was born in Bucks county on April 6, 1853, and was a public school teacher in early life. He received his early train-ing in the academy, at Quakertown. He was graduated from Muhlenberg College in 1876, having been the second honor man of his class. In 1879 he was grad-uated from the Lutheran Theological Seminary, Mount Airy, and was ordained the same year at Lebanon. Rev. Clymer came to Lancaster and became the pas-tor of the Church of the Redeemer and St. James' church, Lititz, serving two years. Later he went to Tioga, Phila-delphia, where he supplied a number of churches. More recently he resided at Germantown. Death of Miss Lizzie Sherer Miss Lizzie Sherer, a resident of Man-heim borough, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Susan McCauley, at Ann-ville, on Thursday morning.

Linden Hall Seminary Opens Next Week On Tuesday of next week the pupils of Linden Hall Seminary will report for the=opening of the 1.69th school year. Everthing has been put in first-class condition for the educational as well as the physical welfare of the students. Many improvements have been made to the buildings and the principal, Rev. E. S. Hagen, is much encouraged at the outlook for the term. There have been several changes made in the faculty, which will be of the usual high standard. Important Announcement Dreamland will be closed for a few evenings in order to make necessary changes to fully comply with the latest state laws governing moving picture show houses, which requires that all chairs be fastened to the floor and the fire escapes reconstructed besides a few other minor changes.

Part of State Road Condemned A small force of men is at work re-pairing the State road southwest of Rothsville, near the Brownstown bridge. This portion of road takes in a very steep and dangerous hill on a curve in the road and was condemned on account of the narrowness of the same. A collision be-tween an automobile and a motorcycle was very narrowly averted there. The presence of mind of the motorcyclist, who turned his machine into the bank of the hill and thus sustaining a rather severe fall, was the only reason that another serious accident was not re-corded. Very Interesting This week M. J. Brown in his weekly letter to the Record, published on page 6. describes the loneliest, most desolate spot on earth, the leper shores of Molo-kai, Hawaii. There 600 persons are slowly dying of the incurable malady, which causes the very flesh to rot from their bodies. But fortunately there is little or no pain connected with the dreadful disease. Don't fail to read the letter, and you will be more thankful for your good health than ever before. Guilty of Boarding House Theft In court at Lancaster on Monday Ed-ward P. Bowman was tried on the charge of larceny and receiving stolen goods. The prosecutor was Wm. F. Layton, who testified that on the night of December 1, 1913, he was robbed of belongings and money for a total value of $225. Layton was doing night work and was a boarder at Clay ton Stehman's boarding house in this borough, where the theft occurred. Arthur Zuber and Antonio Barry were fellow boarders, and they left the night of the theft. They were accused of the robbery and after-ward found guilty, and are now serving time for the offense. Bowman, also a boarder at the Steh-man home, was not suspected of being implicated in the theft but some time later some of Layton's stolen goods was found in Bowman's room. A warrant was issued for his arrest and he found in the York jail, where he serving a sentence for theft. After serving the sentence he was brought to Lititz on August 11 and giv-en a hearing by Squire C. N. Derr, who committed him to jail for trial. The defense was a denial by Bowman that he committed the theft. The of-fense, it was claimed was committed by Barry and Zuber, who plead guilty, and are now in jail serving sentence. The pocketbook identified by the prosecutor, which was foflnd in Bowman's posses-sion, it was claimed was given to Bow-man by his uncle. The razor identified by Layton, was the property of Bow-man, which was given to him by his brother. Arthur Zuber, one of the men who pleaded guilty to stealing Layton's property, and is serving time for the of-fense, exonerated Bowman from any participation in the theft. The jury re-turned a verdict of guilty. Social Events A family dinner was given by Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Hubej- at their home on East Main street on Sunday. Those present were Michael Huber and wife, of Lick-dale ; H. E. Grosh and wife, Miss Su-san Huber, Elsie Rock, Elsie Balmer, of Lititz. The Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons held their monthly meet-ing at the Springs hotel on Wednesday evening. An excellent banquet follow-ed the session, covers being laid for 29, which included the physicians wives and several other guests. Young guinea was the main dish. 2,800 Peach Trees Will Have Yielded 10,000 Baskets of Fruit Within the Next f ew Weeks. Beautiful Apples. Much has been said and not a little written about the Blossom Hill fruit farm, owned and conducted by Adam B. Vogel about one and a-half miles south-west of Neffsville, but it takes a visit to the farm to appreciate what an up-to-date fruit farm is. The writer in com-pany with several others from this place had the pleasure recently. The main fruit of the farm this year is peaches, and within a few weeks about 10,000 baskets of the finest kind of peaches will have been taken frOm the trees. Upon the day the writer visited the Blossom Hill farm there were yet between 3000 and 4000 baskets on the trees. After our party left the orchard there was about a basket less, for our guide had said, "Eat all you want," and that was enough of an invitation to put a keen edge on our appetites. Artists have endeavored to give us pictures of fruits, but when one stands in the orchard and sees trees laden with ripening fruit the artist's efforts lose their attractiveness. A notable feature about the peach trees is that they are small in stature, but spread out to an unusually large degree. This makes picking easy, and on many trees it is not necessary to use a ladder. It also gives the sun's rays more chance to reach the fruit and put rosy cheeks thereon. Although the Vogel orchard is mostly quoted for the fine peach trees persons receive a surprise when visiting the farm. The surprise consists of many apple trees laden with the finest apples we have ever laid eyes upon. The trees are planted among the peach trees and are filled with beautiful apples, of a dark red color. Limbs are so full that they bend to the ground with the weight of the fruit. These apples are all about the same size and perfect in evefy detail. We doubt if there is an imperfect one in the orchard. Thejr are winter apples t»»id m—i, uici 1km». tut eating purposes about the holidays. As the peach trees will be through bearing in two or three years, they will be cut down and thus the orchard will be an apple grove. They are many plum trees also but the fruit is past for this season. One cannot help but see that a fruit farm is not all glory, as some would think, but is only the results of hard work and perseverance. This is the second year that the peach trees are bearing. They should have borne in 1912, but Jack Frost played havoc with the blossoms that year. Thus Mr. Vogel had nothing to do but wait until next year, before he could receive returns on his investment. Now, of course, he is reaping the harvest. His peaches all command good prices, and there is no trouble to dispose'of them. As many as 100 persons call at the orchard in one day and they are all cordially received and taken about the orchard, where the various varieties are pointed out and general information cheerfully given. There are 2800 peach trees on the tract and many hundreds of apple and plum trees. These are under the super-vision of the Agricultural Department of the State government. The trees are sprayed at regular intervals, and they certainly show the results of the latest methods of fruit growing. All the trees look healthy, and are free from scale. Occasionally the state holds demonstrations at the Vogel or-chard, and anyone interested in the raising of fruit would learn much by at-tending these lectures and demonstra-tions. COLUMN TO KEEP YOU IN TOUCH WITH OLD AND NEW NAMES —Mr. Lefevre of Philadelphia will be at Pfautz Bro's. store on Friday and Saturday with a complete line of fall suitings. Found A purse containing a small amount of money can be claimed by the owner by calling at 466 East Main street. A gold ring with setting was found at Warwick by John Yerger, who will return it to the loser by proving proper-ty and cost of advertising. Huge Castor Oil Plant In the yard at D. L. Bowman's resi-dence on West Orange street, this bor-ough, can be seen a castor oil plant, a rather rare sight for this section of the country. Last March Josephine Bowman received seeds of this species of plant from Ohio with instructions to plant them and about the middle of October she is to measure the height of the plants. It is a contest and those persons who have the tallest plants will receive prizes. Miss Bowman planted the seeds in April, little thinking that they would produce such handsome plants, for such they surely are. One plant in particular grew with leaps and bounds, and now, five months after the, seed was planted, the castor oil plant has attained a height of about 12 feet. It is ornamental and has beautiful large leaves of a palmetto varie ty. The plant bears seeds or beans from which castor oil is obtained. It is grown chiefly in warmer climates.

Eberly Were Chosen on Wednesday Even-ing. Both Received Same Number of Votes A most important meeting of the members of the Lititz Church of the Brethren was held at this place on Wed-nesday evening, for the purpose of electing a minister and two deacons. Practically the entire membership at-tended and after the ballot was taken for minister it was found that Henry R. Gibbel and Harvey H. Eberly had receiv-ed the same number of votes. Usually, in case of a tie, the matter is decided by lot, but when it became known that a tie had resulted, the congregation ex-pressed a desire that both should be ordained, and this action was taken, Bishop H. E. Light ordaining the newly-elected ministers. The vote for two deacons resulted in John R. Gibble and Henry Nies being elected. The following ministers conducted the election: Bishop I. W. Taylor, who presided, Biship H. E. Light and Elders A. S. Hottenstein, Henry S. Sonon, Cyrus R. Gibbel. The newly-elected officers will enter upon their new duties at once. There is no doubt but that they are most capable to fill the import-ant positions and will certainly add strength to the local church. Two Runaways On Monday morning while Addison Felker, residing at Kissel Hill, had a horse attached to a market wagon stand-ing at Garber's creamery, the animal took fright and started on a mad dash up the alley at the Sturgis hotel. Con-tinuing across Main street, the wagon came in contact with a telephone pole in front of Robert Russel's residence and the glass doors of the vehicle were smashed by the force of the impact. The horse still attached to the wagon ran to Juniper alley and then to Broad i s l i t e t . W'DCU trie ¿iiiiiijcil » v . i . i . ' t i ie trolley track on the latter street he fell, but at once arose and ran some more. Roy Pfautz made a heroic and success-ful attempt to stop the fleeing horse. He matched his speed with that of the horse and grabbed the bridle, holding on to it as he followed the horse about 200 feet before bringing him to a halt. Beyond the damaged wagon, no damage resulted. On Sunday morning a horse owned by Christian Brookmyer, also of Kissel Hill, became frightened while standing at the creamery and ran up the alley to I. H. Doster's barn. Here the vehicle collided with the barn and the harness tore. The horse was set free and ran to Dr. E. E. Evans' home where he was caught. The wagon was not damaged.

Part of State Road Condemned A small force of men is at work re-pairing the State road southwest of Rothsville, near the Brownstown bridge. This portion of road takes in a very steep and dangerous hill on a curve in the road and was condemned on account of the narrowness of the same. A collision be-tween an automobile and a motorcycle was very narrowly averted there. The presence of mind of the motorcyclist, who turned his machine into the bank of the hill and thus sustaining a rather severe fall, was the only reason that another serious accident was not re-corded. Very Interesting This week M. J. Brown in his weekly letter to the Record, published on page 6. describes the loneliest, most desolate spot on earth, the leper shores of Molo-kai, Hawaii. There 600 persons are slowly dying of the incurable malady, which causes the very flesh to rot from their bodies. But fortunately there is little or no pain connected with the dreadful disease. Don't fail to read the letter, and you will be more thankful for your good health than ever before. Guilty of Boarding House Theft In court at Lancaster on Monday Ed-ward P. Bowman was tried on the charge of larceny and receiving stolen goods. The prosecutor was Wm. F. Layton, who testified that on the night of December 1, 1913, he was robbed of belongings and money for a total value of $225. Layton was doing night work and was a boarder at Clay ton Stehman's boarding house in this borough, where the theft occurred. Arthur Zuber and Antonio Barry were fellow boarders, and they left the night of the theft. They were accused of the robbery and after-ward found guilty, and are now serving time for the offense. Bowman, also a boarder at the Steh-man home, was not suspected of being implicated in the theft but some time later some of Layton's stolen goods was found in Bowman's room. A warrant was issued for his arrest and he found in the York jail, where he serving a sentence for theft. After serving the sentence he was brought to Lititz on August 11 and giv-en a hearing by Squire C. N. Derr, who committed him to jail for trial. The defense was a denial by Bowman that he committed the theft. The of-fense, it was claimed was committed by Barry and Zuber, who plead guilty, and are now in jail serving sentence. The pocketbook identified by the prosecutor, which was foflnd in Bowman's posses-sion, it was claimed was given to Bow-man by his uncle. The razor identified by Layton, was the property of Bow-man, which was given to him by his brother. Arthur Zuber, one of the men who pleaded guilty to stealing Layton's property, and is serving time for the of-fense, exonerated Bowman from any participation in the theft. The jury re-turned a verdict of guilty. Social Events A family dinner was given by Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Hubej- at their home on East Main street on Sunday.

Young guinea was the main dish. 2,800 Peach Trees Will Have Yielded 10,000 Baskets of Fruit Within the Next f ew Weeks. Beautiful Apples. Much has been said and not a little written about the Blossom Hill fruit farm, owned and conducted by Adam B. Vogel about one and a-half miles south-west of Neffsville, but it takes a visit to the farm to appreciate what an up-to-date fruit farm is. The writer in com-pany with several others from this place had the pleasure recently. The main fruit of the farm this year is peaches, and within a few weeks about 10,000 baskets of the finest kind of peaches will have been taken frOm the trees. Upon the day the writer visited the Blossom Hill farm there were yet between 3000 and 4000 baskets on the trees. After our party left the orchard there was about a basket less, for our guide had said, "Eat all you want," and that was enough of an invitation to put a keen edge on our appetites. Artists have endeavored to give us pictures of fruits, but when one stands in the orchard and sees trees laden with ripening fruit the artist's efforts lose their attractiveness. A notable feature about the peach trees is that they are small in stature, but spread out to an unusually large degree. This makes picking easy, and on many trees it is not necessary to use a ladder. It also gives the sun's rays more chance to reach the fruit and put rosy cheeks thereon. Although the Vogel orchard is mostly quoted for the fine peach trees persons receive a surprise when visiting the farm. The surprise consists of many apple trees laden with the finest apples we have ever laid eyes upon. The trees are planted among the peach trees and are filled with beautiful apples, of a dark red color. Limbs are so full that they bend to the ground with the weight of the fruit. These apples are all about the same size and perfect in evefy detail. We doubt if there is an imperfect one in the orchard. Thejr are winter apples t»»id m—i, uici 1km». tut eating purposes about the holidays. As the peach trees will be through bearing in two or three years, they will be cut down and thus the orchard will be an apple grove. They are many plum trees also but the fruit is past for this season. One cannot help but see that a fruit farm is not all glory, as some would think, but is only the results of hard work and perseverance. This is the second year that the peach trees are bearing. They should have borne in 1912, but Jack Frost played havoc with the blossoms that year. Thus Mr. Vogel had nothing to do but wait until next year, before he could receive returns on his investment. Now, of course, he is reaping the harvest. His peaches all command good prices, and there is no trouble to dispose'of them. As many as 100 persons call at the orchard in one day and they are all cordially received and taken about the orchard, where the various varieties are pointed out and general information cheerfully given. There are 2800 peach trees on the tract and many hundreds of apple and plum trees. These are under the super-vision of the Agricultural Department of the State government. The trees are sprayed at regular intervals, and they certainly show the results of the latest methods of fruit growing. All the trees look healthy, and are free from scale. Occasionally the state holds demonstrations at the Vogel or-chard, and anyone interested in the raising of fruit would learn much by at-tending these lectures and demonstra-tions. COLUMN TO KEEP YOU IN TOUCH WITH OLD AND NEW NAMES —Mr. Lefevre of Philadelphia will be at Pfautz Bro's. store on Friday and Saturday with a complete line of fall suitings.

Bowman's resi-dence on West Orange street, this bor-ough, can be seen a castor oil plant, a rather rare sight for this section of the country. Last March Josephine Bowman received seeds of this species of plant from Ohio with instructions to plant them and about the middle of October she is to measure the height of the plants. It is a contest and those persons who have the tallest plants will receive prizes. Miss Bowman planted the seeds in April, little thinking that they would produce such handsome plants, for such they surely are. One plant in particular grew with leaps and bounds, and now, five months after the, seed was planted, the castor oil plant has attained a height of about 12 feet. It is ornamental and has beautiful large leaves of a palmetto varie ty. The plant bears seeds or beans from which castor oil is obtained. It is grown chiefly in warmer climates.
