LOCAL DOINGS
IN REAL ESTATE
WITMER HOSSLER BUYS THE
HAMBRIGHT PROPERTY AT
FLORIN AND WILL OPEN
A GARAGE THERE
Although far in advance there was
quite a stir in real estate around
here the past week. Home-seekers
are making early purchases as there
will, in all probability, not be very
many additional properties offered
for sale. Then again, there is not
much of a likelihood that building
material in general, will drop in
price. This accounts for the nu-
merous quick sales within the past
week.

superintendent of the Monitor Bi-
Loop Company, of Lancaster, has
purchased from P. A. Urich the
beautiful! residence on Brandt Boule-

BIG CELEBRATION
AT LANDISVILLE
FORTY SOLDIERS FROM BORO
AND VICINITY HONORED
AT WELCOME HOME-—
MEDAL JUBILEE
* GIVEN TO ALL
Several hundred residents of Lan-
disville turned out Thursday night to
pay due homage to forty of its fight-
ing sons in a big welcome home
demonstration. The celebration at-
tracted people from this place and
the immediate vicinity and served as
a celebration in honor of the soldiers
from all this immediate section of
the county.
Forty returned soldiers were hon-
ored. Each was presented with a
memorial medal. The demonstration
opened with a parade, which was cut
short by a downpovr of rain. The
remainder of the rrogram was com-
pleted, however without interfer-
ence.
The exercises proper were held in
the auditorium at the campmeeting
grounds. Addresses by Major Quin-
ton C. Reitzel, Captain William C.
Rehm, John M. Groff, Esq., and Rev.
J. W. Gentzler were a feature.
Forty men and one nurse from
Landisville and East Hempfield
township served the nation in various
of the service during the
world war and of that number none
vere seriously injured though many
of the boys saw hard service with
local units overseas.
The opening feature of the demon-
stration was the supper served by
the Red Cross to the soldiers,
speakers and all who participated in
the program. Refreshments consist-
ing of ice cream and cake were
served to all who attended the cele-
bration.
The supper was followed
parade which formed
6 o’clock and was led by the Lan-
|disville-Salunga Band. Beside the
soldiers, members of the Red Cross,
school children and many of the
townspeople were in line. When half
way through their scheduled:line of
march, the celebrators were forced
by the storm ‘to flee to shelter and
made their way to the camp audi-
torium which was attractively dec-
orated with flags and Japanese lan-
terns.
The speakers were introduced by
F. H. Shenk, postmaster and well
known merchant of Landisville. Fine
tributes to the courage and loyalty
of the East Hempfield men were
made by all the speakers. Captain
Rehm spoke of the work of the boys
over seas while Major Reitzel gave a
description of the trip to France, re-
lating’ many humorous incidents of
the voyage. A fine address was de-
livered by Col. John M. Groff and
Rev. J. W. Gentzler, of Trenton, N.
J., a former pastor of Zion Lutheran
church, Landisville, also spoke.
Community singing was a feature
of the program and besides the band
selections, vocal numbers were ren-
dered by Miss Mary Heiserman, Mrs.
H. C. Charles and Mrs. Wisner, with
Miss Beulah Danner as accompanist.
Miss Lent «dt, of Millersville, gave a
number of readings that were great-
ly enjoyed.
The medals which were given the
boys by the Landisville Red Cross
were presented by H. W. Minnich.
They are of bronze bearing a four-
leaf clover with the word Landisville
and the date.
The celebration was arranged by
the women of the local Red. Cross
working in co-operation with a com-
mittee composed of H. W. Minnich
and F. H. Shenk.

TRAIN CRASHED INTO
TRUCK AT LANDISVILLE
A motor truck, the property of
the Raffensberger Express Company,
of Harrisburg, was badly damaged
Friday when it was struck by a
Reading freight train at the railroad
crossing at Landisville. The oc-
cupants of the machine, including
the driver and one passenger, es-
caped injury, the latter jumping
from the machine as the collision oc-
curred.
The Raffensberger Company run a
truck line from Harrisburg to Lan-
caster and it was while enroute to
Lancaster that the accident took
place. The crossing is not con-
sidered a dangerous one, but it is
thought that the driver failed to no-
tice the approaching train. The ma-
chine was badly wrecked.

Various views and opinions were
expressed by those present relative
to the place and manner in which
the boys should be entertained. The
meeting was a unit that the celebra-
tion should be held right here in
town and the method suggested and
which met with the approval of the
majority present was as follows:
Declare a general holiday, have all
the industries and business Biaces
elo d, have a short parade, free
mc ies all day. at the Garden theatre,
free vaudeville: in Mt. Joy Hall all
day, base ball game, other. athletic
events'and last but not least, a big

HERE
Earl Hable, of No. 235 Howard
avenue, Lancaster a line foreman of
the Edison Electric Co., was the vie-
tim of a terrible accident at an early
hour Friday morning, and, even if
he lives he will probably lose both
hands, or the use of them. He re-
ceived an electric current of 11,000
volts.
The unfortunate man was work-
ing on a “dead” wire on a pole near
the substation, in this place, when
he in some manner grasped a live
wire, being without rubber gloves.
How he escaped electrocution is a
mystery. Assistance was promptly
rendered by fellow-workmen, who
had to get him off the top of a pole
on which he was working. Dr. A.
F. Snyder fas summoned and he was
then taken to the Gennral Hospital,
where every possible attention was
given him.
Yesterday his condition still re-
mained unchanged at the hospital
and if he recovers it will be a mir-
acle. Mr. Habel, who has been in

the Time to Have Your Real Estate Listed if You Want to Sell it This Fall.
NOT ONE OF YOU SHOULD
MISS THIS MEETING
Our quiet old burg is awake at
last and is sure “gone after things.”
You will all agree with us when we
explode this secret. There is going
to be a public meeting in Mount Joy
Hall on Friday evening, July 18, at
8:30. The meeting has been called
by the Mount Joy Board of Trade.
Knew we'd get one on you as few
in this town ever knew that such a
thing existed here—but it does.
Burgess H. C. Schock is president
and has been for many years. Dr.
Jno. J. Newpher is the secretary, in
which capacity he has served since
the organization was effected. The
late Isaac S. Longenecker, the grnd
old man of Mount Joy, was treasurer
until his death and at this meeting
will be elected his successor as will
also a vice president to succeed the
late Isaac S. Longenecker, the grand
the Board of Trustees to succeed the
late Jno. M. Brandt. The organiza-
tion is chartered and has about $100
in its treasury.
That
organization, which was
solely responsible for the Industrial
Works locating here, is now going
after that shoe factory, mention of
which was made in these columns
last week.
The Board of Trade invites and
nost urgently requests the presence
of every citizen in this town in-
terested in the shoe factory, to at-
tend thi 1eeting, and all who at-
tend will hear quite a treat in the
reading of the minutes of our Board
of Trade of its last meeting in the
year 1900 only nineteen years ago.
Now don’t forget Mt. Joy Hall,
Friday evening at eight thirty.
