In Columbia chimneys stay occupied as the Champion Blower and Forge Co. hires 700 workers, a fatal accident shocks the plant.

Elizabethtown plans a Masonic hospital cornerstone event. A potato yield surprises at Kinderhook, while Mt Joy sees a flurry of new homes, a church, and a chocolate factory project with carpenters in short supply.
