HORSE AND BUGGY
DAYS :.
By the Old Lamp Lighter

From Mill Wheel to Plow
Share" is the title of a very in
teresting book, which is a recent
acquisition of the Washington
County Library. 1t is history of
the Orndorff family, the pioneer of
which located in Pennsylvania in
the neighborhood of Lebanon. Sub
sequently members of the family
came southwark, locating in this
section, erecting the old Orndorff
Mill, near Sharpsburg, on the road
between Sharpsburg and Keeds-
Vile This was the oldest mill in
this section. A sawmill was also
at this place, the waters of the An
tietam being used at the same
point to turn both the flour and
grinding mill and the saw mill.
The family moved on, as millers,
to other water power sections, fin
ally locating in Tennessee. Some
of the family migrated from there
to Illinois, with mills.
The Orndorff family was prom
inent and among the first famil-
les" of this county. Direct de-
scendents of the Orndorffs are Mrs
Frank Bentz and Mrs. G.. K. Har-
ris, Boonsboro; Mrs Samuel L.
Lewis, this city, Major Harry L.
Hagan and others.
A store in the early days of Ha-
gerstown was conducted by Orn-
dorffs, located where the McCar-
dell building now is. The late O..
D. McCardell and the late w. H.
McCardell, as young men, clerked
in this store.
While the book has reference di-
rectly to the Orndorff family, it is
also of general interest on account
of much local history contained
therein.
The following are extracts from
a paper published in Hagerstown
in 1895, this particular issue be-

ABOUT FIRECRACKERS
TO THE EDITOR, THE PUBLIC
AND MIR. WRIGHT:

Our local denouncer, Mr.. Wright,
after attacks on our economic SyS-
tenn, the lack Of opportunities for
the poor, the acquisition Of wealth
by the rich, after viewing with
alarm, criticizing and deplorirg, now
turns his attention to pop-crackers.
1t seems that Mr. Wright definitely
does not like pop-crackers. They are
worse than the itch and they keep
him awake nights.
When Mr.. Wright decides he
doesn't like a thing, he must be very
happy, for that gives him an oppor-
tunity to write to the newspapers
and criticize This time the criticism
covers pop-cracl<ers, the intelligence
of the people Who enjoy fireworks,
the board of county commissioners
and the imam who sells pop-crack-
ers."
For many years, it has been a Gus
tom in the Southland to celebrate
the Christmas season by shooting
fireworks. To most of us, fireworks
are as much part of the holiday
season as the tree, gifts and the

it at Christmas. Perhaps some not so
critical correspondent will be kind
enough to write in and tell us the
origin of the custom. Whatever the
reason, it is part Of out heritage and
such customs are more difficult to
change than the economic system Of
country. The reasons being the
same, many people like things as
they are and believe we live in
pretty good place after ALL In most
Of the countries where they have
tried the new theories they have end
ed by taking away the last vestige
of personal liberty and are now
shooting guns instead of fireworks.
