Spelling Bees
Prove Valuable
MANY EVENTS ARE HELD IN
THIS COUNTY—ALWAYS
DRAW BIG CROWDS
’ —————
With the advent of fall weather,
the old fashioned spelling bee is
coming into its own. These con-
tests, which draw old and young,
the fall and winter ‘months, are
still one of the greatest attractions
for country folk.
The usual form is to have tv
classes of spelling contests, divid-
ed by ages, and one general in-
formation class; the latter _ being
very interesting and provoking a-
musement for all. A capable teach-
er, usually the teacher of the school
where the contest is held, is in
charge of the various classes. The
evening is often enlivened with the
award of prizes for the winners.
This is a custom that should be
preserved. It is not only a good
thing for the people in Lancaster
county to keep up their ‘readin’
and ’ritin’ and ’rithmetic,” but the
bees promote a social intercourse
and friendship that also is of great
value.
The opportunity to meet one’s
neighbors, in some friendly contest
and later in a social hour is. one
that should not be ignored. In the
towns and’ communities of the
country it is perhaps, more essen-
tial than in the city, where spell-
ing bees are now, novelties.
The training that the people in
the county get when they are fac-
ed” with words like ‘“adumbrated”
or “diphtheria” or “casualties,” is
one that can not be ignored. Per-
haps the people in the city have
lost, in this lack of continuance of
their school days.
Certainly, in these days, the poor
speller is noticeable, because he is
a member of a large group. Too
liftle attention is devoted to this
simplest of all forms of education.

Wounds Fatal
, To Florn Man
CHARLES SWEAGER, SHOT BY
GEO. HENDERSON IN DUEL
DIES OF INJURIES
old,
Geo.
Charles Sweager, 36 years
of Florin, who was shot by
Henderson, also of Florin, during
revolver duel in a house in
Perry county last Tuesday night,
succumbed to his wounds at 9:45
last Wednesday morning at the
Polyclinic Hospital, in Harrisburg.
Sweager lingered between life
and death since he was admitted
to the hospital. Part of his right
lung had been torn away by the
bullet from Henderson’s gun, which
ploughed its way into the man’s
spinal column, fracturing it and
resulting in complete paralysis of
his legs.
His condition was so critical that
surgeons could not probe for the
| bullet, fearing that such an oper-
ation would be fatal.
Sweager’'s body was removed
from the hospital by the Coroner
| and taken to Hauck’s undertaking
i establishment, on Third street, Har-
risburg.
Henderson has been: held in the
| jail at New Bloomfield on a charge
lof aggravated assault and battery
since the shooting. State Troopers,
who arrested’ high said af’ that
time he likely ' would be . ¢harged
{with murder should Sweager die.
Sweager, according $9 a- statement
i credited to him after the shooting,
admitted that he started the: shoot-
ing’ and that Henderson fired only
after his life had been threatened.
| Sweager and, K Henderson had been
| bitter enemies since last July
| when Sweager’s wife left him and
his three children, taking five
| children with her. The husband

{act, saying he had urged her to
