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 with our initial issue rrr Will Preach at Rohrerstown Rev.

PP A NUISANCE ALLEGED; CASE TRIED IN COURT before morning attached 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. rE Daniel or Y 1 Daveler Daniel Daveler, a former resident of Lititz, died Wednesday at the home of his brother, Jacob Daveler, of West Donegal township.

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 the handkerchiefs, other stores in town where materials have been pur- chased have made most generous re ductions. PPE DOUBLE WEDDING CELEBRATED Ira Rev. G. R.

WILL HOLD A CONVENTION HERE 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. QC A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING News in General Condensed for Very Quick Reading cle sed on Garfield’s Our public schools Monday, thu orders Samuel 8.
