The personal property of the late Louisa Frank was sold at public sale here last Saturday afternoon. There was a good attendance at the sale and bidding on many articles was quite spirited. Two chairs of Louis and State Fails to Map a New Route PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE MANHEIM—HULL’S TAVERN ROAD HAVE NOT AS YET BEEN RECEIVED No intimation has been given by officials of the State Highway De- partment as to proposed changes or re-locating in the highway be- tween Manheim and Hull’s Tavern, which is now under construction. Two miles of the new road from Manheim north have been complet- ed and operations have been start- ed at the Lebanon county end by the department. Lancaster county will have to pay damages for any re-locations, but to date, have not received the blueprints of proposed changes which the department usually furnishes. Two routes have been marked by the department. They are the present route through Elstonville, and one around the western end of the Rapho township village, which would eliminate crossing the Chickies creck. Should the latter route be selected the county would be called upon to pay heavy dam- ages as the right of way would go through sec miles of farmland. Efforts to mmunicate with R. V. Warren, assistant advisory town ship engineer, of the State Depart- ment to inquire about the attitude of the department were unavail ing. All employes were sent home until Tuesday because that part of the capitol was without heat. The recent explosion of the boiler in the capitol has erippled the heating system. hii Taken To County Jail Harry Sprout, a young man of Maytown, was arrested by Officers RV style, brought $88 each N bought by Mrs. Missemer, im.

For a quick sale STATE MAY ERECT HOME NEAR ELIZABETHTOWN Elizabethtown may be chosen as the site of a State institution for defective and orphan children, ac- cording to recent reports, Last week State engineers made a survey of the W. A. Withers farm and several adjoining tracts vorth of that borough preparatory to submitting a report to officials as to the elevations, water supply, woodland and other natural ad- vantages, The W. A, Withers farm alone contains over 200 acres of land and has an abundant supply of In addition there is a large acreage of woodland which could be converted into parks and the elevations are such that ample sanitary drainage could be obtain- ed with a small outlay of money. . According to information the in- stitution would be .a large plant costing a million or more dollars, Organization In Need of Funds OUR LOCAL BENEVOLENT SO- CIETY SOLICITS FINAN- CIAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE CITIZENS OF OUR BORO The following is a copy of the letter sent out by the Benevolent So- ciety of Mt. Joy to our bus.ness and professional citizens. Also to quite a few persons whom it has reasons to believe are very inter- ested in the work done by the So- ciety. “I'he Benevolent Society of Mt.

The Benevolent Society has al- ways had to work with very limit- The source of income being the dues from the members, the Thanksgiving collection and a few donations, At the present time the treasury is empty. We would not have been able to take care of a very needy case recently— but for the donation from ° the Chautauqua Association. Let us explain just what we have been doing: There have been quite a few cases every year where sick- ness has made things difficult in a family where we ‘have helped with a couple baskets of groceries, milk, bread, ete. (These little boosts have been appreciated hut not abused, We have helped get a pair of shoes here and a pair of shoes soled there, enabling child- ren to attend school. With the aid of the Needlework Guild, we have been able to place garments in an emergency, buying what the Guild do not have, to supply. On Thanksgiving and Christmas about twelve to fifteen baskets are sent out. part of the contents are donated and the balance bought by the Society. Every case is investigated before help is given. Only a very, very small percentage have been found not worthy. When there js a drive made in Mt. Joy for any “welfare work, we always go over the top. Do you realize this is the first request made for welfare work for our own community? Will you help us replenish our treasury? The winter is soon here and we need help to put us in a position to lend help. Will you mail a check to Mrs. Emma Manning, Treasurer? One of the undersigned officers will call between October 20 and October 24 on those who have not responded. We will thank you for your careful and thoughtful considera- tion.
