Passing Away
ONCE FAMILIAR MEETING PLA.
CES NO LONGER FOUND—
MOTOR CARS REPLACE
HORSES
Some years ago at this time of
the year blacksmiths had all and
more than they could possibly do at
horse shoeing. No horses were al-
lowed to go on the roads in winter
time without sharp shoes, and from
early morning until late at night the
smiths were busy. In every small
village there was a blacksmith shop
and in the larger places there were
three and four. Farmers would
come to town early and would line
up to wait their turn to have their
horses or mules shod and as there
were from one to four and, some-
times, six head to a team, it was
often hours before your turn came
around. The time while waiting
was usually well occupied. Local
gossip was reviewed, stories were
exchanged, crops were discussed
and mighty questions argued and
settled. The athletic rivals of the
countryside met at these shops in
contests to prove the championship.
They were the meeting places of
friends and the battling ground of
enemies and if anything of interest
occured there was always an audi-
ence to enjoy it. The blacksmith
shop, like the country store, was the
rendezvous for old and young. The
smith usually held the centre of the
stage and he was the busiest man
in the country, for he not only shod
the horse but he made the shoes
and the nails he used.
The village blacksmith of today
is not the romantic character he
was then. In the first place where
there was a blacksmith shop every
few miles there are now many miles
hetween the few you will find
through the country. They are
now able to buy both nails and shoes
and it is doubtful if there are many
who would be able to make them.
The old time bellows, which the vil-
lage~ehidren loved to stand by the
door and watch, has disappeared and
a more modern blower has taken its
place. The automobile and the mo-
tor truck have taken the place of
the horse and with the passing of
the horse there is little demand for
the work of the blacksmith and they
have gradually disappeared. Be
cause of the scarcity of smiths, the
few found are usually busy. As
there is so little demi .d for the
blacksmith, there is not much en-
couragement for the younger gener-
ation to learn the trade.

A Good Substitute
A number of residents at May-
town had prepared to present a play,
“The Path Across the Hill,” in the
hall there Saturday night. One of
the participants took ill Friday and
it was decided to postpone the play.
Just about that time they learned
that this same play was being re-
hearsed here and possibly they could
get a substitute from the cast here
to fill the vacancy at Maytown.
Miss Sara Dillinger, daughter of
Mr. L. G. Dillinger, who will play
the part here, consented, went to
Maytown Saturday night, and play-
ed the part in a very creditable
manner.

THE JUNIORS HELD A N
RECEPTION FOR THE SENIORS
On Monday night, the Junior
class of Mount Joy High School
held a reception for the Seniors, in
the gymnasium of the school.
The reception, an annual affair,
was perhaps more delightful than
ever this year. Valentine was made
the patron saint of the affair, and
the games and program showed his
influence. Festoons of red and
white crepe paper, and multitudes of
cupids and hearts quite transformed
the gymnasium,
The party was chaperoned by Mr.
G. Bair, Miss Martin, Miss Eshleman,
Mr. Flaharty, and Miss Bork.
The committee for arrangements
was composed of Dorothy Schroll,
entertainment; Mary Strickler, re-
freshments; and Dorothy Loraw, de-

A Home Worth Considering
I have been given the sale of one
of the best and most desirable dwell-
ings in this town, the home of the
late Dr. J. J. Newpher. Here is a
13-room frame house with all mod-
ern conveniences, a 2-room office,
spacious side porch, garage for three
machines, in a very central location
that should appeal to many. House
is very convenient as access to alk
rooms on second floor is gained
from a hall. Can give possession al-
most any time. Opportunities such
as these are seldom offerred. Don’t
delay if you are interested. Call or
phone Jno. E. Schroll, Mt. Joy.
