ALL ON ONE TREE-A few years ago Mr.
! E. Brenneisen, of Unionville, planted
wild swamp tree; later on he grated upon
It wild goose plum and sweet and sour cher
RES, and this year he has all three kinds OF
fruit growing upon it ; and besides, grape
VINE running on the tree with grapes on 1t.
We doubt if there is another tree in the
county with as many kinds Of fruit upon It,

Mount on Tuesday afternoon. A number OF
persons from this place and from along the
line were present and some interesting de,

bic enthusiasm and the projectors seem de-
tcrmincd to push the work forward

One of our citizens alone has had appll'
cants for summer board to the number of
about sixty. Why, oh why does not some
one or more provide means to meet this de-
mand We are exceptionally favored in the
matter of locality and railroad facilities and
there would be hundreds Of summer boarders
here if there were houses to accommodate
Them The inquiries this year are cxcep-
tionally numerous

An ACKNowLEDGE MENT The brethren
of the press have, on the occasion of the re-
cent celebration Of THE CLARIoN's natal
day, been appreciative even bcycnd our de-
sert, as the several items that have appeared
in this and las; weeks issues have given
evidence They constitute for us the one
solid support in onr years routine of duty ;
were those for whom We labor, no more be-
cause we love them, than because It is our
duty So to do, to evincc like moral support
and kindly appreciation shown by our jour
alistic friends, we should be the better able
to repay them. As distance lends enchant-
ment 10 the view we likely secure our due
at home and rather more than that from the
brethren beyond.
RE-DEDICATED.-The re-dedication Of the
Lutheran church, Rev. J. B. Keller, pastor,
at Smi,hshurg took place Sunday llth, inst,
and was attended hy large congregation.
The sermon was preached by Rev. DR..
Wolf, of Gettysburg college. The cost OF
remodcling and furnishing the church
amounted to about $500, of which about
$500, was raised by ladies of the church, a
band Of Jealous workers. and the chi,drcns
aid society. Prior to the dedication, the
! committee had subscribed about 81 600 more,
making sum equal to g., 100, and leaving a
balance of $4,000, to be raised. After the
sermon, subscriptions were solicited, and IN
a shor, time s. 500 was subscribed.
| GET READY.-THE CLARION has seen more
| than one project that was first suggested in
It's columns come to fruitiOn, some Of which
were for years deemed impracticable 1t
does not tear to advocate any legitimate and
possible enterprise, even though 1t be classed
| fo- a time among the ircastles; especially
since il sees water, a fire department and a
town hall here and personal property taxed,
every one Of which it ADVOCATED long before
| it WAS brought about.
We shall shortly have another proposition
to make TO our people; one which will prob.
ably be at once adjudged impracticable by
the majority, but we shah not hesitate to
urge it and will expect to see it done, just
as the others have been.
