Amusing Story About Lawrence Coun-
ty Amishman.
Dr. Mealy, of New Wilmington, tells an
amusing story of Amish life. Very little
has been told of che manner and customs
of this interesting sect o. people who 1--we
in the nothern part of Lawrence county
New Castle people see nearly every day
their yellow topped and black toppeh
vehicles or the streets of the city but lew
have thought that between the men ana
women under the yellow tops and those
beneath the black tops there is wider
difference than there exists between the
Protestant and Roman Catholic ialth=
Those who ride beneath the yuliow u"p~
are the stricter Amish. They wear no
buttons. their clothes are held together
with hooks aud eyes. They have u"
church building but tie services OF their
sect are held at the various houses OF the
members. The "olack tops" Wear buttons
and suspenders and have little cnurch
building near Wilmington.

called on DR.. Mealy several months ago
