Dissolution.
New Firms - New Enterprises.
About five years ago Mr. Menno M. Fry, of Rothsville, removed his cigar factory to this place.  His business grew rapidly and orders came in from the Eastern and Western States.  Owing to the increasing demand for his goods, he was compelled to enlarge his manufacturing facilities, and a few years ago built the tobacco warehouse and cigar factory on North Broad street, a building familiar to all our citizens.  Located in the centre of the richest tobacco-growing section of Lancaster county, he saw the advantages of the leaf tobacco trade, and taking his brother, N. C. Fry, into partnership, they commenced packing and dealing in Pennsylvania leaf.

The new firm was successful in the venture, and last year packed about five hundred cases of the much prized ’80 crop.  This branch of their business growing so large demanded the entire attention of the senior member of the firm, and in order to give it the attention required, he disposed of his interest in the cigar trade to N. C. Fry, the junior member, and H. H. Miksch, the foreman in this department, who together have had the management of the same for the past year and a half, they continuing the old business under the new firm of Fry & Miksch.

Of the senior member of the new firm nothing need be said, as he is well known to the trade.  Mr. Miksch is a young man of strict integrity and good business qualifications, having been successfully engaged in every branch of the tobacco trade from the growing to the manufacture of it.

Many of our citizens are not aware of the business done in the cigar line by the old firm.  Their shipments for the last year run up to four millions [sic] of cigars, requiring the handling of from sixty to seventy-five thousand dollars.  The new firm will no doubt push ahead in the future as the old one did in the past, and we hope that their trade may grow, and that its brands may become familiar to all lovers of good cigars in the Union, and that its members may wax fat and wealthy.

M. M. Fry has associated himself with another gentleman of this place, in the leaf trade, and we expect to see this branch of the business grow rapidly under the fresh impetus it has secured by the new addition to it.  The new firm has already shown its energy in securing two hundred cases of the present crop on the poles.  It has been the largest local buyer in this section.  We hope it will come into line with the largest packers in the county ere long.

Notice.
The co-partnership heretofore existing between Menno M. Fry and Nathan C. Fry, under the firm name of Menno M. Fry & Bro., is this day dissolved by mutual consent.  The business of manufacturing cigars will be continued by Nathan C. Fry and Hayden N. Miksch, late foreman of the manufactory, who have this day entered into a co-partnership, under the name of Fry & Miksch.  All liabilities and outstanding accounts due Menno M. Fry & Bro., will be assumed and collected by the new firm of Fry & Miksch.
Thanking the trade for their generous patronage in the past, and soliciting a continuance of the same for the new firm, we remain,
Very Respectfully,
Menno M. Fry

Hail Insurance.--
A meeting of prominent tobacco growers and other citizens was held at the Franklin House, in the city of Lancaster, on Monday afternoon.  John H. High was called to the chair, and Johnson Miller chosen secretary.  After some discussion in regard to the matter that Lancaster was the largest tobacco-growing county in the State, and the necessity of a company to protect our farmers of this crop from its destruction by hail, which was so serious in some sections of this county during the summer, it was agreed to organize a home company, and the following officers and directors were elected: Peter S. Reist, of Lititz, President; I. A. Stober, of Schoenech, Vice President; Dr. P. J. Roebuck, of Lititz, Treasurer; Johnson Miller, of Lititz, Secretary.  Directors-John H. High, of East Earl twp., James Collins, of Colerain twp., Menno M. Fry, of Warwick twp., Daniel Herr, of Pequea twp., Henry S. Eberly, of Clay twp.

The name of the organization will be the Lancaster County Mutual Hail Insurance Company.  The business office will be located at Lititz.  An application will be made to the Governor for a charter in due time, and books opened to receive applications for insurance.  The company will be put in running order as soon as agents for each township in the county have been appointed.

Matrimonial.--
Mr. Frank B. Buch and Miss Sue S. Miller had many friends, and it was generally understood that the two were pretty good friends themselves; so the event of Wednesday evening was not altogether a surprise.  A pleasant company of invited guests assembled at the residence of the young lady’s parents, near New Haven, to witness the nuptials of the happy young couple.  The Rev. J. Peter, of Manheim, tied the matrimonial knot; let us hope the bonds prove silken.

After the ceremonies refreshments were served, so abundantly and richly that it is a mercy no calamity attended the festivities.

The young couple start out on the voyage of life together attended by the sincere well-wishes of all.  Congratulations sound cold and formal, but we add our mite to the abundant store.

Ties That Bind But Do Not Fetter - A Brilliant Social Event.

The residence of Mr. Samuel G. Bomberger, of Rothsville, was on Wednesday morning thronged with invited guests to witness the nuptials of his only daughter, Anna E. Bomberger, and Mr. Graybill B. Long, of Neffsville.  About one hundred and twenty-five immediate friends and relatives were present.

At 11 o’clock the high contracting parties, attended by Messrs. B. F. Bear, of Mechanicsburg, and Samuel Frantz, of Lancaster, groomsmen, and Misses Alice Keller, of Ephrata, and Emma Weaver, of Fertility, as bridesmaids, advanced to where the officiating clergyman, Rev. J. Peter, of Manheim, was awaiting them, and the impressive ceremony was observed that united the twain in bonds indissulable. <sic>

The bride was elegantly attired in rich silk, and the bridesmaids were appropriately and tastefully costumed.

After the ceremony a splendid banquet was served under the direction of Royer, the Lancaster caterer.

The presents were many and valuable, and made a rich display; but their chief import to the wedded pair, no doubt, is the sentiment of friendship and love of which they are the symbols.

Immediately after the wedding breakfast Mr. Long and bride, accompanied  by numerous friends, drove to Lancaster to take the afternoon train.  As they left the house, a shower of blessings and the traditional slipper followed.

Mr. and Mrs. Long will be absent about three weeks, visiting New York, the Hudson, Niagara Falls, Baltimore and Washington on the trip.

We join with the many in expressions of sincere congratulation, and trust that the morning which is just breaking into roseate light harbingers a long day of happiness unclouded.
