Samuel Loose, Sr., and wife, formerly of this place, but for the last ten years or so citizens of the State of Ohio, came east last week to pay their friends and relations in this section a visit.  Time has dealt lightly with Mr. Loose since we last saw him.  In appearance he has not changed much.

Rex, Ida H. - 1881

Shaefferstown Shavings
Educational - Matrimonial - Philosophical And General
Our school district is coming to the front in its partiality for female teachers.  It is not long since our people were very decided in their opposition to female teachers, but things are being revolutionized.  The “school marms” that we have of late years employed, have as a rule given such marked satisfaction to pupils and parents, that the demand for the formerly much-abused “marms” has grown apace.

That we have a male teacher for our grammar school, is in part if not altogether, due to the fact that Miss Ida H. Rex, the young lady who taught the school with such eminent success last year, would not again accept the position.  If any one <sic> had predicted such a state of things several years ago, the majority of our venerable townsmen would have hooted at the idea.  But we are happy to note the change.  It is a move in the right direction.  Whatever may be said of the comparative mental capacities of women as pitted against those of men in a general sense, it is true that women excel in the art of teaching children.

Shaeffer, A. B. - 1881

A Boy Run Over.
Eugene Archer, a little son of Mrs. Mayne B. Archer, of Lititz, while playing on North Queen street near Brimmer’s livery on Saturday morning was struck and knocked down by A. B. Shaeffer’s business wagon which was passing at the time.  The wheel passed over the little fellow’s leg below the knee, but did not seriously hurt it.  No blame attaches to the driver, as he was going very slowly, and the boy, had his back to the team, and backed into it.

Hallacher, Milton - 1881

Marksmanship.--
The pigeon shooting match at the Kemper House last Saturday was not largely attended.  Marksmen did not come to time.  The highest score was made by Milt. Hallacher, of Rothsville.  To-morrow (Saturday) a party from Rothsville will have a private match at the Kemper House.
~ The Lititz Record, 21-Oct-1881, Page 3, Column 1


The Shot Gun.--
The pigeon shooting match at the Kemper House last Saturday was more largely attended than on the previous Saturday and was attended with more gratifying results.  The birds were not as lively as could have been wished, but the day was faultless.  Everything was passed off without a hitch; he best of good feeling prevailed throughout.  In the first match Dr. Reamsnyder bore off the honors, but was closely followed by B. Ritter, who killed all his birds - one falling out of bounds.  A. Bollinger drew out after his fourth shot.

In the second match Milton Hallacher stepped to the front, as he did the Saturday before.  As will be seen by the score, Mr. H. just saved himself by a clean score.  Owing to the lateness of the hour, ties were not shot off.

The following is the score:
C. Butzer…………………1 0 0 1 0        |    A. Adams…………………0 1 1 1 0
A. Adams……………...….1 0 0 0 0        |    M. Hallacher…….……...…1 1 1 1 1
M. Hallacher…………..….0 1 1 1 0        |    W. Landis…....…….......…..1 1 1 0 1
W. Landis…………..…......1 1 1 0 0        |    B. Ritter…………………..1 1 1 0 0
A. Bollinger………..…....…..0 0 1 0        |    Dr. R’msnyd’r……….….....1 1 1 1 0
B. Ritter………………..….1 1 0 1 1        |
