SPACE ABOUT SOLD
FOR COMMUNITY EXHIBIT
There was a good representation
of all committeemen present at the
meeting of the Community Exhibit
workers in the Council Chamber on
Friday evening and many made very
favorable reports.
Among them was Mr. Aaron Len-
hard, who stated that all the space
in the Market House and Rohrer’s
Garage was sold and very little re-
mained at Newcomer's.
Some of the chairman of the var-
ious departments reported excellent
prospects for a large list of entries
which will make keen competition.
The premium lists were distribut-
ed this week and a large lot of ad-
vertising matter also. Catalogues
and other advertising may be pro-
cured at Chandler’s Drug Store.
The entire premium list, rules
regulations and location of exhibits
may be found in this issue of the

VERY FEW CHANGES BY
THE U., B. CONFERENCE
The United Brethren
which was in session at Philadel-
phia, closed Friday evening. There
were less changes in pastorates this
yearn than for some time. Only
twenty-four changes were made
thruout the entire Conference dis-
trict with but one in Lancaster
county, that being at Hopeland. Dr.
H. KF. Rhoads, of Harrisburg, was
assigned to this place.
Rev. H. S. Kieffer, who has been
in Mount Joy for the past seven
years, was returned for his eighth
term, which is indeed good news to
his members and many friends.
Rev. J. F. Deitzler was returned
to the charge at Florin for his third
term, which is also quite pleasing
to his congregation.
Rev. Snavely, a
here, was transferred
bein at Harrisburg
Haven.
The conference reports showed a
net increase of 900 members during
the past year with a total member-

Bad roads and an insufficient wa-
ter supply were responsible for
the total destruction of the home
and adjoining shed on the proper-
ty of Roy Coble, several miles
from Elizabethtown, along the
Colebrook road, early on Tuesday
morning. The loss, which is es-
timated at $2,000 is covered by
insurance.
The home, a two and a half
story frame building, has been un-
tenanted for some time. A few
of furniture were destroyed.
Firemen from Middletown, with
Chief Russell Houser, of that place
made an attempt to haul their fire-
fighting apparatus to the scene of
the blaze, but were forced to aban-
the plan on account of bad
roads.
