Big Apple Shipments

In one of our letters we spoke of
the shipping yards and the tracks of
the switches being small for the
shipping that is done from our town.
We shall give you an idea of the
apple shipping for 1926:
Turkey Knob Orchard Company
shipped 165 cars, Mt. Clifton Or
chard Company 101 cars, Chas c.
Bowman 90 cars, W. E. Gather 20
cars, p. NJ S. Bird and J. l.. Wissler
Is cars, Strathmore Orchard Com
pany cars, r. S. Walker, ears,
Tayenner & Tisinger cars, DR.. j. |.
Triplett cars, Shenandoah Caverns
cars, Z. d. Clark 3 cars.
The above were the owners, while
the following shippers were dealers
and bought the apples at different
orchards: J. P. Graham IL cars, the
greater part of Mr.. Graham's ship
ments going to Mama, Florida. H.
w. Promeroy 10 cars, d. P. Pearse,
Bears, making a total of 432 cars or
1 10000 barrels. 1t may be interesting
I to know that 70 of the above cars
were put in cold storage, showing
that the open market was better,
/ and less storing.
Three cars of peaches were ship
ped by Tavener & Tisinger which
were grown in their own orchard.
Sudden Death
j. Newton Rinker died very unex-
pectedly at the home of Miss Dolly
Pennywitt, miles west of Mt Jack
son on last Monday morning. While
he was not quite as well as usual
since Thursday yet he was arranging
to go to the barn to help to feed. but
Miss Dolly would not let him go
After she did the feeding, she went
to his room and was shocked to find
him on his chair dead. He was
born Il years ago and was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Reuben Rinker they
both dying when he was years old
and Newt having no home, and no
one to care for him was taken into
their home by Mr. and Mrs John
Pennywitt where he remained until
he was taken to another home. 1t
was said that he lived up to his abil-
ity as near as any man could live.
He was buried on Monday in Grace
Reformed Cemetery by his pastor,
Rev. w. B. Duttera.
In Hospital
Mr.. Jan Bird, son of p NJ. s. Bird
of Mt Jackson was taken to Harri-
sonburg Hospital on Monday of this
week. Several weeks ago he was
hunting and the butt of the gun
bruised his shoulder and gave him
much trouble. Last Saturday night
it was lanced, and on Monday morn
ing it began to gather about his
elbow which caused some uneasiness
as blood poison had started on its
way. We hope for his speedy re
eovery.
On last Sunday Mrs. Arthur Lin
damoOd of near Conicville was taken
to the Winchester Hospital for treat
ment. She has been there several
times before We hope that upon
her arrival home this time she will
be very much improved
On last Sunday night at the Luz
theran Church here, there were three
church officers elected. Mr. o. l..
Burkett was elected for the unexpir-
ed term of an officer, for one year
and Messrs C. NJ. shannon and T. l..
Cline were elected for three years.
1t has been the custom TO elect two
officers every year.
