WwW E You can talk about your movie stars all you please, here's a case where a native of our boro, with- out any ambition, or desire in that direction, became so popular that he was on the screen almost over night. When one considers the many who are so desirous and ambitious to become movie stars, even though they must begin at the very bottom, work day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year and finally one out of the many lands a job. We have heard it said that many even work long before they even get an interview. But in this par- ticular case the subject of this sketch, instead of going after the EK LY | job the movie people went after him. Well, we've had you in suspense long enough so here's the dope.

Hamilton, Mt. Joy Twp., administratrix of W.B. Ham- ilton, late of Mt. Joy Twp. There talk going the Penna. Railroad here is to be the removal of is some rounds that the passenger station moved and since the foot bridge from Henry Marietta street many think would be a very good idea. it to at Patrons must certainly go considerable inconvenience present. If they approack the station from the South oni must “walk a mile” for a ticket and “another mile” to board an east bound train. We have heard it said that the {station is to be moved west to | the Marietta street bridge. If true, this would be a great convenience to all who have occasion to ride on trains. x * *® When Lancaster County dealers begin to advertise pea, stove and nut coal at only one dollar diff- erence in price, we know times have changed. ea IT IS RUMORED We mentioned this fact to a dealer in our locality and he is under the impression that ere long all sizes of coal will sell at the same price. Here’s the reason: Years ago pea coal sold at $3.00 per ton while stove and nut brought $9 and $10. Only certain classes could afford to burn the more expensive coal but since the introduction of blowers and stokers, these same people can and do burn a much cheaper grade than pea, while many have taken to oil burners. This leaves very little demand for the larger sizes and we know of a colliery which mines coal and grinds them to the pea coal size, claiming that it doesn’t pay to bother with the larger sizes. As a result buckwheat, which formerly sold at $2 with little demand, today sells for from $5 to LANCASTE $1.50 WEST CHESTER MAN GAVE L. R. MUMMA A BAD CHECK J. W. Newton, West Chester, charged with larceny by trick, was returned to Lancaster by Constable Cunningham to await a hearing before Justice of the Peace Stei- gerwalt. He is charged with hav- ing given L. R. Mumma, Elizabeth- town R. D. 1, a fradulent check for $1100 in payment for cattle. Newton served eight months in the Chester county jail on similar charges before being released to Cunningham, He also faces a detainer lodged in Chester county. Mr. Mumma is one of the exten- sive cattle dealers in this sec- tion. Celebrated Their Golden Wedding Sun. MR. AND MRS. H. E.

The dinner was served by Ca- ter Eli Hostetter at his home on Barbara St.” The table decorations, in keeping with the occasion, were very beautiful in gold and white. A most unusual occurance, was the fact that among the dinner guests was Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Strickler, of near town, who will celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary on December 4th, 1938. Mr. and Mrs. Strickler and Mr. and Mrs. Greenawalt are the re- spective parents of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Strickler, of town.
