CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN
MINISTERS
ELECT
Henry R. Gibbel and Harvey M. 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.

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. She suf-fered
from tuberculosis, which was the
cause of her death. She was in the
sixty-second year of her age and had
been a member of United Evangelical
church, Manheim. The following bro-thers
survive: Joseph, of Manheim, and
Jacob, of Lafayette, Ind. The follow-ing
half-brothers and sister also survive:
Francis Nauman, of Secor, 111.; Harry
A. Nauman, of Sacramento, Cal.; Prof.
W. Reif Nauman, of Sellersville, Pa.,
and Mrs. John Nees, of Green Valley,
111. Funeral services were held at the

on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. In-terment
made in Fairview cemetery.
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. Manager Holtz-house
works to abide by the law and

officers were elected as follows: Presi-dent,
Miss Cecelia Enck; vice presidents,

Miss Libbie Buch.
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.

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.

CELEBRATED HER 94TH BIRTHDAY
Aged and Blind Sally Rudy Received a
Donation From Many Friends Who
Gathered at Her Home
Miss Sallie Rudy, one of the oldest
and most beloved residents of Northern
Lancaster county, attained the ninety-fourth
milestone in her journey through
life on Monday. On Sunday in honor of
the event a large number of friends of
the aged lady gathered at the home of

praise service was conducted by Rev.
Jonas Hess, who read and explained the
9th Psalm, much to the delight of all

used many years ago when Miss Rudy
was received as a member of the Re-formed
church, was sung, as were sev-eral

months which are coming. A sum of
.66 was realized. The offering of the
