Rev. Ilenry Har- baugh, D. D.
A man who reflected credit and honor upon the place of his nativ- ity, by his sterling character and high attainments in the field of theo- logical and general literature, was the Rev. Henry Harbaugh, Doctor of Divinity and Professor of Didactic and Pastoral Theology, in the Theological Seminary of the Reformed Church, Mercersburg, Penn- sylvania.
Dr. Harbaugh was not a native of Waynesboro, proper, but his birthplace was situated at a point, shadowed by the South Mountain, on the boundary line between Pennsylvania and Maryland, about four miles southcast of Waynesboro.
His was a remarkable life which deserves and has been accorded

in many printed works a much more extended notice than can possi- NOTES. bly be written of him here. He was born on the 28th of October, 1817, and died in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, December 28, 1867. His early years were spent in the struggle for his education. At the age of twenty-six he was ordained a minister of the gospel and installed in his first pastorate in the Reformed Church. He continued actively engaged in preaching for twenty years when he was appointed to a professorship of Theology, in Mercersburg Seminary. He was the founder and, for seventeen years, the editor of his Church paper. The Guardian, and at the time of his death edited the Mercersburg Revica. and was one of the editorial staff of the Reformed Church Messenger.
In his theological views Dr. Harbaugh took a most decided posi- tion, which he did not hesitate under all circumstances to earnestly advocate and defend. He was a most scholarly writer and his valua- ble contributions to theological literature are presented to the world in a number of published works. His sublime faith; the childlike simplicity and tenderness of his nature and his sincerity of character are points which are never covered up in his works. The tenderness of his nature is particularly manifested in certain of his poetic writings and most conspicuously in those through which he has added dignity to and demonstrated some of the possibilities in, the Pennsylvania- German dialect. The Harfe has a distinctive place in literature and its songs will always live. Heimweh and Das Alt Schulhaus An Der Krick are to-day classics among Pennsylvanians of German descent.
Those who desire to learn more of the earnest life of Dr. Harbaugh are referred to The Life of Rev. Henry Harbaugh, D. D., published as a tribute to his memory, by his son, Linn Harbaugh, Esq., of Cham- bersburg Pennsylvania.

Franklin County's pioneer newspaper.
The history of the newspapers of Franklin county possesses more than a passing interest, and is well worthy of being chosen the special work of one interested in tracing the true inwardness of affairs. It is a remarkable fact that some of the early methods survive in part even to the present day. In the early time, in a modest and simple manner, the newspaper editor was the forceful molder of public opinion, and not only Chambersburg but Franklin county at large, in the olden time, owes much, along many lines, to the quiet and unassuming work of such men as Robert Harper. George Ken- ton Harper and Joseph Pritz. It is to be hoped that some one will assume the responsibility of presenting, in proper and well digested form, this important branch of the county's history.

Note 72. Text page 314. Success of the Cen- tennial.
That the Centennial celebration was a creditable success was the unqualified opinion of the thousands of strangers who visited the town during the period when the exercises were in progress. The most flattering accounts of the celebration appeared in the news- papers of the day not only throughout Eastern Pennsylvania, but in Maryland and elsewhere.
As a fitting conclusion of this account, brief extracts from two or three of these friendly newspapers are presented:

CELEBRATING THE CENTENNIAL.
"Just across the Mason and Dixon line, and beneath the shad- ows of the rugged slopes of South Mountain, rise the spires and chimney tops of a picturesque and thriving little city.

Hun- NOTES. dreds of feet below the pines and sturdy timbers of the mountain there stretch out the rich and fertile fields of that ideal work of nature the Cumberland Valley. In the midst of these cultivated lands, which are so carefully divided off by hedge and fence that they appear from the heights like a green and brown patchwork, is Waynesboro, a Southern Pennsylvania town, so close to Mary- land that it seems to belong to the domain of Lord Baltimore.
"During the past week the attention of the people of three States especially has been directed to this little city, just three miles from the foot of South Mountain and eighty-two miles from Baltimore. For three days its broad and shady streets have been thronged with the people of neighboring States, while the nearby towns have literally emptied their populations-men, women, children and teams-into Waynesboro, whose hospitable residents have spread out open arms to hospitably welcome and receive them.
"It has happened in the flight of time that Waynesboro lias become a centenarian. Bicyclingly speaking. it had made a cen- tury, or in good old English, the town reached that point where it was just one hundred years old. Naturally, the people of the borough were proud of this fact and they decided to celebrate. Months ago they began. Talk drifted into suggestions, sugges- tions were molded into plans, and these, falling into the hands of men of brain, resource and energy, became the foundations of a celebration that will be talked about for years to come and told as a fireside story to children's children long after the pres- ent generation has crossed the threshold of another world.
"So Waynesboro celebrated. Its big birthday party took place, the thousands came and saw and the town did the conquering. Let it be said at the start that no city, no great metropolitan center ever had a better planned and more successful celebration than this town, with its five thousand inhabitants. The men who formed and constituted the Centennial Association deserve more than mere words can express, for their efforts resulted in suc- cess, not that success so often implied by the word, but the real, genuine, and lasting success that is backed up by the unanimous opinion of everyone of that crowd of more than twenty-five thou- sand souls that saw what Waynesboro had to show .- Baltimore Herald, Sept. 5, 1897.
"This little town (Waynesboro) to-day witnessed such an in- "Philadelphia flux of strangers as all but bewildered it. From all corners of Press." the State and from other States they came, many of them bound to Waynesboro by early memories, to join in the centennial cele- bration of the town. At the present rate of increase the popula- tion of a few thousand will, before the week is closed. have swollen to upwards of fifty thousand."-Philadelphia Press, Aug. 31. 1897.

"Chambersburg Public Opinion."
"A stroll through the streets of Waynesboro was interesting upon any attempt at comparison of the town with what it was even ten years ago. Main street, since the grading of the street and side-walks, has been transformed into one of the most at- tractive thoroughfares to be found in any town of like size in the State. The spirit of improvement which prompted this step of progress must have taken hold of the residents, who have modernized their buildings and in many ways beautified their surroundings. The other streets of the town have improved in like manner. For handsome residences, comfortable, attractive homes and beautiful lawns, Waynesboro is not surpassed by any of its neighbors.
"The references to the Centennial city by the newspapers, in advance of the celebration, were all complimentary as a matter of course. 'It was admirably located,' and showed that General Wayne knew whereof he spoke when somewhat over one hundred years ago, while watering his horse at a spring hard by, he ex- claimed: 'What a lovely place to build up a town.' This tradi- tion is doubted by some on account of the absence of the spring. Be this as it may, had the General rode to the summit of Burns Hill and made his suggestion there he would have been as readily prompted to the observation. It affords not only a fine view of the town and its location but of a stretch of country unsurpassed anywhere. * *"
"This is only a slight indication (some features of the celebra- tion described) of the manner in which the people of Waynes- boro and Washington township took hold of the Centennial en- terprise and carried it forward to a magnificent conclusion. The people at once caught the inspiration of the occasion and it was the supreme desire that their friends from abroad should share with them in the festivities of the week. The thousands who visited Waynesboro during the past three days testify to the hospitality of the citizens of the town and the success of the press and committees in making this Centennial another Franklin county triumph."-Chambersburg Public Opinion, Sept. 3. 1897.
