Friday was no doubt the coolest and
roughest day experienced in this section for
years Judge Stuff reports the mercury at
/ l6s below zero.
Our farmers were very busily engaged in
hauling lime the past few weeks, being de-
[ termined to improve their farms in spite of
the low price Of grain, and still believe lime
the best fertilizer
The Lutherans here have been holding a
series Of meetings at the Homer church for
the past two weeks Their pastor, Rev. A.
Sell, is an earnest, practical preacher, and is
becoming quite popular among his people,
especially the young
Michael Zimmerman, of Jenner township,
recently sold one hundred and thirty five
acres Of land lying on the south side of the
Stoyestown and Greensburg pike, it being a
part Of his home farm, to VIM. Apple, of
Friedens, the consideration being four
thousand dollars.
We are sorry to chronicle the fact that
Ananias Emme-t, a member of the firm Of
Emmert, Lohr & Co., running the Philip C.
Maurer coal and lime bank, and doing q
lucrative business, suddenly became insane
on Friday night, and was very violent,
abusing his wife and family, and would
without doubt have murdered them had
not man who boarded with them came to
the rescue. He then made his escape with
out shoes, coat or vest, and was not found
for more than two hours. This is sad
case as Emmert is 4 poor, hard-working
man, with a family. He had complained
for week previous of pains in his side and
breast, caused 10 doubt from overwork.
