Roof Garden.
If Manager Peoples can give us a
show every week of the season as
good as that of the present week, he
will deserve, and unquestionably,
secure, a daily repetition of the
large aud’ence which attended tke
opening of his roof garden on Mon-
day. In several ways the “opening”
was most remarkable. For one
thing never before had the opening
audience so nearly taxed the capacity
of the garden, and another notice-
able feature was the presence of so
many people from the towns of the
county. Hardly a place reached by
trolley but was represented.
Evidently “going to the Roof” will
be quite the thing with suburbanites
this summer,

The Screw on Auger Points.
In early times augers had no
screw points as they have at the
present time. The invention of
screw points for augers was first
made at Lititz, this county, by John
Henry Rauch in 1776. The pattern
was sent to England by Judge Hen-
ry, of this county, and the screw
point was then generally introduced.

Hoodlums on the Streets.
On Saturday night a lot of hood-
lums disturbed our quiet town by
parading the streets, scrapping and
painting the town red. Singing, if
it may be so called, yelling ani
dancing on Main street porches,
formed the innocent part of their
diversions. Boys, don’t do it heve-
after or our constables may be
pressed into service.
Who'd a Thunk It ?
One of the most peculiar incidents
that ever occurred in Mount Joy
was that of last week. A Columbia
avenue resident set a hen and when
the chicks were due ke was inquisi-

in appearance. To his surprise he
found that a number of hard boiled
eggs which his wife prepared for
him, were placed under the hen by
mistake.
