chased frorh Mr. H. N. Nissly, ad-
minstrator bf the estate of J. R
Missemer, the entire plant, good will,
fixtures, machinery, presses, type,
subscription lists, etc., of the Mount
Joy Star and News, the Florin News
and the Landisville Vigil. After
careful consideration of the patron-
age of two of these papers, we found
that the receipts do not warrant
their continuance if they are to be a
success, therefore we have decided
to promptly discontinue the Florin
News and the Landisville Vigil, and
having combined the subscription
lists of the three papers, will con-
tinue the Star and News on a much
better basis. This paper will be is-
sued every Friday afternoon, there-
by giving Mount Joy and the sur-
rounding community two papers a
week.
Every former subscriber of the
Landisville Vigil and the Florin
News, will hereafter receive the Mt.
Joy Star and News instead.
We will, from time to time, add
various features, give a good list of
eorrespondence from nearby towns
and make a great effort to get this
paper back to the high standard it
maintained in this community twenty
years ago.
It will be neatly printed, will re-
tain its present of eight pages
and with the combined subscription
list of three papers, will have a good
circulation, thereby making it a
valuable advertising medium.
The Star and News, its name
implies, is the product of a consolida-
tion of two newspapers. These were
the Mount Joy Star the Milton
Grove News. The former paper was
originally published in Masterson-
ville on the 8th of Nov. 1872 by
D. D. Courtney and Joseph Stigler
and was a five column folio. Mr.
Courtney retired and Mr. Stigler re-
moved the paper to this place in
April 1873 and soon transferred it
to the late L. M. and Henry Gal-
lagher whose names first appeared at
its column head on May 14. One
year later Henry Gallagher retired,
L. M. Gallagher remaining as editor
and L. D. Gallagher becoming pro-
prietor. The paper at this time was
enlarged to a seven column folio and
during the year L.. M. Gallagher be-
came proprietor. In January «1878
the late Capt. L. D. Gallagher again
became the proprietor and M. M.
Leib the editor. The Milton Grove
News was started March 20th 1875
by J. R. Missemer and S. L. Brandt
with J. J. Sprenger publisher.
After one year’s life it was suspend-
ed but was revived Nov. 23, 1876 by
J. R. Missemer, editor and proprietor.
The two papers were merged Sept.
b, 1878 under the title of the Mt.
Joy Star and News. Mr. Missemer
conducted the paper until 27 years
ago when he disposed of it to the
Stofers’, formerly of
Size
as
and
as
Middletown
and removed to Steelton; but after a
few years he repurchased it and con-
tinued it until his demise.
The future of the paper will de-
pend entirely upon the patronage ac-
corded it and as to appearance, make-
up, etc. we herewith present you

A NUISANCE ALLEGED;

before

dnesday
The first
Judge Hassler
was that against Abraham Cooper,
returned by Constable H. K. Kauff-
man, of Rapho township, for main-
taining a nuisance It was alleged
that five or years ago Cooper
erected a fence along the Colebrook
road, near Sporting Hill, which en-
croached six even feet on the
road, which had been kept in repair
by the township supervisors and
which had be used by the public
for at least seventy-five years, Coop
er, who is suffering with an extreme
nervous affliction, was unable to testi-
fy in his own behalf. A number of
witnesses testified that no survey of
the road existed; that no definite
fence line had ever been made; the
owners of the abutting land for years
allowed their land to remain un
fenced. It was claimed that the fence
erected by the defendant was no ob-
struction, and did not interfere with
the public travel.

The Comfort Kits
Thus far the seventy-five boys
from Mount Joy and vicinity, who
have left for service of their country
have taken with them comfort kits.
These kits have been supplied from
various sources. They are not a part
of the Red Cross equipment and
consequently have not been made in
the Red Cross rooms or purchased
m Red Cress funds.
Fifteen of these kits were given
direct to the boys by their families
or friends. Twenty, the materials
were purchased and the kits made by
the ladies of Mount Joy but were
paid for by relatives or friends of
the boys, who expressed a desire to
do so. 40 of these kits were sup-
plied to the boys not otherwise pro-
vided for by a voluntary contribu
tion from the ladies of Mount Joy.
Dr. E. W. Garber has provided all
the tooth brushes and tooth paste
for these kits and Mr. H. E. Hauer

chased have made most generous re
ductions.

THE N. C.
Rev. W.
retary of
B. Stoddard, eastern sec-
the National Christian As-
sociation, was a visitor in our town
last week. He was here to arrange
for the holding of a convention the
second week in February, to discuss
the influence of secret societies on
the church, family and state. He
claims in this age, when there is a
general investigation, the lodges can
not hope to escape. A fair, candid
investigation in a Christian spirit, ean
hurt nothing good. If claims made
by lodges and lodge men are correct,
they need have no fear of a candid
investigation. The N. C. A. does not
approve of Christians belonging to
secret societies and Rev. Stoddard
will give some of its reasons at this
convention. The Mount Joy Hall has
been rented for a meeting for this
purpose and what is hoped will be a
very interesting program is prepared.
All who are interested are invited.
