THOSE WHO RECEIVED THEIR
SUMMONS.
LAST
"Curly" Took the Wrong Pail..
Ammon Weidman was the victim of
a mistake the other morning for which
ihe was himself responsible. He is em-ployed
as a painter by James Sesseman,
and on the morning in question went
to Fruitville to work. The men take
their dinner with them and Ammon
of,course took his pail along. Imagine
his discomfort, when seated on an
empty box at Fruitville, he opened bis
pail and found fchafc on leaving home he
had grasped a pail filled with lard in-stead
of the full dinner pail. Amnaon
would have had a long stomach if his
fellow workers had not shared their
meal with him.
Horace A. Shelly Dead.
The death of Horace Aurelius Shelly
occurred at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Graybill Bitzer, on South Broad
street, at 1.30 o'clock on Christmas
morning. His age was 57 years, 1
mcnth and 28 days. The direct cause
of his death was uremic poisoning.
Over a year ago he began ailing and
nearly all of last winter he was con-fined
to the house. During last sum-mer
he was out and about, but far from
enjoying good health. About a month
ago he began failing and gradually
grew worse, taking his bed a week be-fore
the end came. He seemed to rea-lize
that his earthly career was close to
hand and referred to it in his latter
days. Horace Shelly was a son of the
late Dr. William Addison and Thamar
Shelly. He was born in the village of
Warwick, where he spent his boyhood
days and attended what was then
known as Huber's school. Early in
life he engaged in the cattle business
and also conducted the butchering
business, which seemed to be his favor-ite
occupation and for a time he was
very successful. He was married to
Amanda L. Bishop, who preceded him
in death four and a half years ago.
One child was the result of this union.
The survivsng brother and sisters are
as follows : Linnaeus, Mary and Rosa,
of this place, and Mrs. Thomas J.
Stewart of Trenton, N. J . Mr. Shelly
was united with the Moravian church
about a year ago, since which time he
gave evidences of a change of heart and
a realization of the future. The funer-al
took place Wednesday afternoon,
when services were held in the Mora-vian
church and interment was made
in tfa© God's acre connected with the
chnrch. Rev. E . g . Hagen officiated.
The remains rested in an oak satin-lined
casket with silver bar hands and the
word " F a t h e r " on the lid. The floral
"offerings were numerous and beautiful,
including a handsome display from
W. B. Fieles, an old friend residing at
Christiana. The pall bearers were
Clement Badorf, Horace E. Sturgis,
L. S. Ready and J. Frank Bueb.
THE WHEREABOUTS OF YOU AND YOUR
FRIENDS.
Stole Lititz Girl's Pocketbook.
Stella; the fourteen-year-old daughter
of Mr. ¿nd Mrs. Wm. Ditzler, residing
on Front street, had her purse taken
from her coat pocket in one of the large
department stores at Lancaster last
Friday. A clerk apprehended the
thief however, who was a seven year
old girl, and the purse, which contain-ed
about $4,00, was returned. The thief
stated that she and a few companions
obtained money in this manner to go to
moving pictures and buy presents. Sev-eral
girls were arrested later in the day
by Chief of Police Bushong.
Death ©f Dr. John K. Hertz.
The community at large was shocked
to hear of the death of Dr. John K.
Hertz, of Lexington, which occurred
at his home on Wednesday afternoon
at five o'clock. The cause of death
was valvular heart disease, with which
he suffered more or less for the last 20
years. He had only been confined to
bed for three months, however, and
the en«d came very peacefully. De-ceased
was born in Brecknock town
ship, Berks county, on March 21, 1832,
which makes his age 78 years, 9
months and 7 days. His younger days
were spent in Groffdale and Weaver
land, 'this county. H« attended the
Marietta Academy one year and the
first session of the Millersville Normal
Schoel, of which that noted educator,
J. P. Wickersham had charge. After
that iie taught school several terms,
his last term being at 'Lincoln. Here
he began the study of medicine under
Dr. Shirk. Later he graduated from
the 'Penna Medical College, Philadel-phia,
and in the spring of 1860 started
practising at Lincoln. In the fall of
1860 be located at Lexi>on, at which
place he re-ided and practised since, a
period of 50 years.
Dr. Hertz was twice married, his first
wife having been Elizabeth Leopold of
Lincola, who died two years afler their
marriage. One child, Mrs. John Hel-naan,
wiao died five years ago, was born
to them. His second wife was Sallie
Stieff, of Lincoln, who died in 1905.
Three children survive with the second
union, as follows : Dr. J . L. Hertz, the
well knowo physician of Lititz ; Mrs.
D. E. Furlow, of Stevens, and Mrs.
Robert Russell, who resided with her
father. Four brothers and sisters resid-ing
in Iowa and Oklahoma also survive.
Dr. Hertz was a highly esteemed citi-zen
and was noted for his very kindly
disposition. He was a member of the
Lancaster City and County Medical
Society and the Penna State Medical
Society. At one time he served as a
director of the Warwick township
school board. He assisted in the organ-ization
of the Lititz and Lexington
Turnpike Co. and was a director up to
the time of his death.
The funeral will be held on Saturday
morning at 9.30 at the late home and at
10 o'clock at Emanuel's Lutheran
church, Brickerville, with interment
in the adjoining cemetery. Revs. J.
W. Bittner and E. S. Hagen will

EVENT CELEBRATED IN THE USUAL WAY.
Churches and Sunday-schools Observe
the Savior's Birthday with Appropri-ate
Ceremonies—Presents Exchanged
and Feasts Served.
Christmas, the great holiday in all
Christendom, was most appropriately
observed all over the land and Lititz
and vicinity was no exception. The
ideal, clear, cold, sunshiny weather
drew most people from their comfort-able
firesides and sent them visiting
their friends. All seemed to be going
somewhere. Many carried bundles of
gifts. There were family gatherings,
and of course the roast turkey or some
other fowl was served at dinner. Not
everybody could buy a turkey, but the
is expensive duck, goose or chicken
was within the means of most every-one.
However, in the estimation of
many the dinner was a secondary con-sideration.
It was the church and
Sunday-school entertainments which
were uppermost in the minds and
hearts of a great number, especially the
younger set, who took part in these ex-ercises,
which were rendered in every
house of worship in Lititz and vicinity.
Following is a brief outline of the exer-cises
produced and the incidents con-nected
therewith:
Part of Finger Amputated.
Robert Baker, who had the index
finger of his left hand caught in a
stapling machine at the Animal Trap
factory on the 13th inst., had to haye
bis finger amputated at the first joint.
The wound did not heal very rapidly
after the accident and an examination
proved that a staple was secreted in the
flesh. Owing to the condition of the
flesh amputation was deemed best.
Went to Florida
Oa Tuesday last P. B. Bucher chape-roned
the following persons to sunny
Florida, to spent several weeks or lon-ger:
Sam'l Lane, Jr., Andrew Lane,
Abram Brubaker, Jr., and Mrs. J . C.
Paul. The latter's husband preceded
her several weeks ago, where he bought
a tract of land. Sarasota Bay is the
destination of the party. Mr. Bucher
may remain until March 1st. Several
other Lititz people also intend going to
Florida later in the season.
The True Spirit of Christmas.
Last Saturday evening a number of
the faculty and pupils of Linden Hall
seminary showed the true Christmas
spirit, when masqueraded in Kriss
Kringle and other costumes, they pro-ceeded
to the home of William Sturgis
on Apple alley. Taking possession of a
room, they erected a tree filled with
toys, seasonably gifts and many eat-ables,
and then called Will's children
in. They were very enjoyably sur-prised
and have derived a great deal of
pleasure from the gifts.
People of Lititz and Vicinity Like Cakes
That the inhabitants of Lititz and vi-cinity
are fond of sweet cakes is a fact
beyond dispute. The three bakeries at
this place produced 2212 dozen cakes
last week, which is a record. Think of
it 26,544 cakes. One wonders who con-sumes
them all. Besides this amount
Baker D. . D. Graul turned out 46
pounds of hard ginger cakes. The
amount furnished by each of the bakers
follows : A. R. Keller 1062 dozen ; W.
D. Fichthorn 700 dozen, and D. D.
Graul 450 dozen.
Harvesting Fine Ice.
There will not be a scarcity of natur-al
ice next summer, for a fine crop has
already been harvested from the vari-ous
dams hereabouts. The Spring
Lake Ice Company of this place finish-ed
harvesting at Rudy's dam on Wed-nesday.
The crop is of excellent qual-ity
and is 7 and 8 inches thick. None
has been harvested from the dam at
Huber's woods as yet, but all that is
needed Is a few more cold mornings.
The Gochenaur's have cut a quantity
of ice at Millway for the hotels, which
was 12 inches thick. They also antici-pate
cutting from their dam near Kis-sel
Hill in the near future.
Moravian
I n the Moravian church on Christ-
'haas eve two similar services were given
in which the congregation, children
and choir took part. The regular Mo-ravian
lovefeast was served and near
the close of the service the children
were each served with a lighted wax
tapers, a scene that beggars description
and can only be realized by eye wit-nesses.
The Christmas eve music in
this church is always enjoyed, no mat-ter
how often you have heard it. No
true Moravian fails to hear it as regu-larly
as Christmas comes.
On Sunday morning a Christmas ser-mon
was delivered in the church by
the pastor, Rev. E S. Hagen. Every
year on this occasion a collection is
lifted for the deserving needy within
the congregation and there were liberal
contributions. The choir music was of
a high order and Mr. Beck, the organ-ist
and choir master, deserves much
praise for his labors in this direction
besides those who aided so well in the
rendition of the difficult music.
The children's Christmas evening
exercises were given on Sunday eve-ning
to "an overcrowded audience.
"The Reign of Peace" was the title of
the very excellent program. There
were recitations, responsive scripture
reading, duets, solos, quartettes, etc.
The little folks did their duty in their
several parts and were Dot abashed in
whatever was assigned to them. One
of the prettiest pieces of music, so ably
given, was the quartette by two of W.
H. Muth's boys and two of D. H.
Kreiter's boys. James Carper gave a
welcome to Christmas in a praiseworthy
manner and Paul Kreider seemed to
do equally well in a Christmas song.
After the distribution of boxes of candy
and oranges, the Sunday-school orches
tra rendered "Around the Christmas
tree," introducing a number of special-ties,
which held the audience spell-bound.
The orchestra aided materially
in the evening's exercises and showed
that good music well rendered is a
great incentive on an occasion like
this.
Trinity United Evangelical
The Trinity United Evangelical Sun-day-
school also gave its Christmas ex-ercises
on Sunday evening. A pro-gram
entitled "Tidings of J o y " was ar
ranged by Mrs. M. M. Souders and it
came up to the standard of the aver-age
program produced from other
sources and proved to be a most enjoy-able
event. The music especially was
of a high order, which included a num-ber
of drills, the Holly Drill especially
being noteworthy,, in which fourteen
girls took part and sang so harmoniously
that one could have listened much
longer without tiring. A duet by Mil-lie
Gingrich and Lillie Butzer was
sweetly sang, and the recitation by
Edna Miller also deserves special
mention. A recitation entitled "When
Christ was Born" was very well recited
by Lester Bunk. Rev. Stauffer, the
pastor, gave a short address intended
mainly for the children and he kept
them interested. The pulpit platform
had overhead decorations of cedar and
red Christmas bells very neatly ar-ranged.
The distribution of candy and oranges
was also an important feature of the
day's events.
St. P a u l ' s Ev. Lutheran
An audience which completely filled
the edifice assembled in St. Paul's
Evangelical Lutheran church on Sun-,
day evening to hear in song and story
the Christmas exercise entitled "The
Herald." They were well repaid ; for
it was one of the prettiest and best pro-grams
ever rendered at this church.
To give any certain participant praise
would not be just. The infant depart-ment's
singing and reciting was re-markably
good considering the age of
the little folks. A large orchestra
helped much in making the rendition
a success.
The Sunday-school scholars were
each presented with an orange and a
box of candy. The pastor, Rev. Geo.
D. Clarke, was presented with a purse
of money by the school and Messrs.
Wm. Amer and C. B. Dussinger were
presented .with a ring and a rocking
chair, respectively, by the members of
the Sunday-school classes which they
teach.
Laurel was used very freely in the
decorations, which presented a pretty
appearance. Streamers of it along the
side walls all congregated at the pul-pit
recess where a large star was sus-pended.
The words "The Herald"
also blazed forth from a cluster of
greens above the platform.
United Brethren
The Christmas exercises were splen-didly
rendered in the United Brethren
church by the Sunday-school on Sun-day
evening. The title of the exercise
was "Christ is Born" and comprised
many beautiful songs, responsive read-iags
and recitations. The singing was
accompanied by Miss Katie Whitcraft
on the organ, Mr. W. B. Oehme, cor-net,
and Mr. Harry Wertsch, violin.
They were a great factor in the success
of the occasion. The main recitations
were by Mary Rhoading, Stella Buch-ter,
Mabel Shue, Laura Smith and
Rhoada Yerger. A very pretty num-ber
was a girl's duet, in which a chorus
answered in refrain. The choir very
successfully rendered "Holy Night"
and Miss Lizzie Bender's solo proved
very pleasing. Rev. J. E. Keene, the
pastor, was presented with a purse of
ten dollars, and Miss Katie Whitcraft,
the organist, received a purse of five
dollars, the presentation speeches be-ing
made by Mr. Daniel Weidman and
Mr. Joseph Miller, respectively. The
church was appropriately and neatly
decorated with festoons of greens and a
star illuminated with miniature colored
electric lights. The Christmas spirit
was evident in these exercises and the
occasion was much enjoyed by a large
audience.
St. Lake's Reformed.
All of the services for the celebration
of Christmas were attended by large
and appreciative audiences. They con-sisted
of the service by the main school
on Christmas eve, the early morning
Christmas service, and the children's
entertainment on Sunday afternoon.
The last was pronounced the best enter-tainment
held here. All the parts
were well rendered. A liberal offering
was received for Bethany Orphans'
Home at Wooaelsdorf The children
were presented each with an orange
and package of candy. The pastor's
Bible class gave him a purse contain-ing
a neat sum of money. The church
was tastefully decorated.

More Old Peaches.
Last week the RECOBD had an article
about peaches being in good condition
after being canned for 17 years. Mrs.
Urias Adams informs us that she has a
can of the same variety of fruit which
was preserved 26 years ago. It is still
unopened, but from all appearances
the fruit is in first-class sondition.
