county and city officers to be elected

There is little interest in the con-

Tablet Presented to
Historical Society
Marks Harris Landing

Before hundreds of people in River
Front Park below Washington street
DIR. George p. Donehoo, a member OF
the Pennsylvania Historical Commis-
sion, this afternoon at l o'clock pre-
Society with d tablet marking the
point of landing of the historic John
Harris Ferry in River Park. He also
presented the original copy of the
grant to Harris by the heirs of Will
liam Penn. This was given at the
close of the dedication address and
unveiling of the tablet in the park.
The ceremonies were simple but inn
pressive, Dr. Donehoo presenting the
copy of the grant and the marker in
behalf of the historical commission,
gave a complete history of this section,
of the country at the time the ferry
was established.
He said that the ferry was placed
directly on the Allegheny path which
crossed the Susquehanna river at this
point. The trail was used by the In
dian traders for many years. The
ferry also gave access to a branch trail
through the present location of Cham
bersburg to the homes of the Tusca-
fora tribes. which later became the
course of the State highway to Pitts
burgh and the main part of the pres
ent Lincoln Highway to that place.
After few. more words he unveiled
the tablet and presented the copy of
the grant to Theodore B. Klein, who
accepted both in behalf of the Dau-
phin County Historical Society.

merchants of the city have placed me
highest in their thoughts, I am on
display in some of the big show win
dows downtown, and the newspapers
are featuring me on every corner of

of the new electric light standards and
the rolling up of curtains in the show
windows of the stores throughout the
entire business section, gave to the in

lower section of the city the first taste
of what they might expect during to-
days dollar day feature.
