The Annvillo and Palmyra Gas and Fuel Company was organized on the first day of May, 1,909, at Lebanon, where the general offices of the company are at present located.

The company up to the present has arranged to supply four towns. Annville, Hummels-town, Hershey and Palmyra, with fuel and illuminating gas. Mains have already been laid through the principal streets of there tornis. In Palmyra, where the plant is located, 40 per cent, of the business houses ami homes will have gas turned on for all purposes by Tuesday evening. The plant at Palmyra was built in record time.

S. V. Miller, the hustling superintendent of the company, ha? for the past few weeks been the busiest man in the busy little town, putting forth every effort with all his energy, working night and day to the end that everything would be in readiness for Old Home Week. He was here, there and everywhere, urging and directing, having to possess the quality of omnipresence, and that his efforts have not been in vain is manifest in the fact that Tuesday evening will witness th gas in use by nearly half of the population. In a few weeks Annville, Hershey and Hummelstown will be ir possession of the benefits of the Palmyra gas plant.

The people of these towns are fully aware of the great advantages to be obtained from the introduction of gas for heating and lighting purposes as well as for extreme' cleanliness in cooking and are enthusiastic over the fact that the plant, will be in full operation in the near future. S. W. Miller, the energetic and capable superintendent, was born in Dun-cannon, and was raised in Harris-burg, where he remained until he was 20 years of age, when he started in the business of constructing and operating gas plants, a business of which he is now a thoroughly competent master. He has traveled throughout the United States and constructed and started in operation gas plants in many cities and towns.

Board of Trade. It remained for a number of energetic citizens to solve the problem of bringing to the attention of the outside world some of the important business advantages gained bv locating in Palmyra and these men formed themselves into a Board of Trade to induce manufacturers to get into this growing community. At its first meeting eight inquiries were read from persons looking after sites to erect factory buildings, as few places offer better inducements than does Palmyra.

The Palmyra Academy, which was located the corner of Main and College streets, on the spot where the Cni: ed Brethren church now stands, wo established in the year 1857. This was a private institution, founded by Professor Peter B.

who employed the instructors and had sole supervision of the school during its entire history. Its career from the beginning was a very prosperous one. It was wel1 patronized by the citizens of Palmyra and vicinity, and rec. -ed students from adjoining States. Duiing the period of its exi'tenee, from 1857 to 1890, few local institutions enjoyed a wider celebrity.

Many of the public school teachers in Lebanon and the counties adjoining received their professional training here. Boys and girls, young men and young women several thousand in number received their early training and education at this institution. In 1890 the school was abandoned, and during the nine years following, from 1890 to 1899, the building was used mainly as a town hall. In 1899 the property was sold. The substantial three-story brick building was torn down.

The United Brethren church was erected on the spot where the Palmyra Academy, more popularly known as Witmer 's Academy, 'onces'ood. FERRY BRO.V 1 A Big Store Ably Conducted By a Popr ular Firm. J. H. and George TJ.
