BUSIER THAN EVER.—L. 11. Gettig
of the meat market is as full of work as
an industrious man could want to la*.
Tiiere is a constant demand for fresh
meat at Gettig & Kreamer's shop, and
they haye quite a number of orders in
for porkers to be slaughtered and
dressed for private families. Lew is a
No. 1 butcher and an accommodating
business man. That accounts for the
large and "lucrative custom. Give him
a call.

lv two masked men armed with rilles,

bers were hunters.— Tyrone Herald.

Media las', week, until February B'h,
1888. Johnson received the news with

ted to live over another Christmas and

on the fir.-t of January nx r , will Be,
spared the disagreeable job of hanging

The Turnpike (Question.
F.IU ron JOI UN Al. : permit me to make
use of a small space in your worthy column*
this week. 1 noticed in Nome of tlie county
papers of last week, that some of the citi
zens along the Bellefonte \ Lewlstown
Turnpike are trying to condemn that pike
.mil convert it into a township road. Would
this not be a wise act for the people through
l'enns Valley who are using the did Fort,
Aiu'otisburg \ VounginanNtowii turnpike,
and wlio are paying tolls which tiro not 11-
lolie blirdeUsollie, hilt ext I'U VUgllllt. The
tolls that an* paid by citizens of this valley
alone are amply sutlicient to put the pike
in much liettor condition than it lias IKSUI
kept in for a number of years. For the last
! two years, and especially for this summer
the manager \\lio has eontnd of said pike
between Anrotishurg and Woodward has
seareely expeinled ?25. And tie* people who
travel tie 1 road are obliged to pay tlie lull
limit of toll and driv a road that is in a worse
condition than any township road, if tlie
citizens who pay toll, would expend that
money 011 the road themselves they would
have a much better road to travel. I would
be pleased to hear from some of my fellow
citizens through tlie columns of tlie Journal
who I know are equally as tired of Turn
pike monopoly as 1 am

—Musser A Alexander have lately re
ceived another carload of marble In the
rough and of tlnished uionumeuts.Their
business is increasing rapidly, which is
easily accounted for when one considers
the fact tbat Mussor's reputation as a
uuirble cutter was not made in a day
but in many years of successful dealing
in first-class work, while his partner
Mr. Alexander, who acts as salesman
for the iirui. by his gentlemanly bear
ing and strictly upright business uicth
-1 ods wins the confidence of everybody.
Integrity, enterprise and satisfactory
work are bound to win.
—A town clock is a great convenience
! if it may lie relied upon for correct
ness of time, but when a town clock is
continually wrong, either from 20 to 30
j minutes ahead of time or the reverse it
becomes just as great a nuisance. This
is the case with the Millheim clock.
For Ihe last half year it has been at
least twenty minutes too fast and us
the teachers and church sextons seem
to la regulated by that time the schools
| and church meetings are as a general
thing taken up much too early. We
would suggest that the party who has
the clock in charge be governed by rail
-1 Had time wnich may easily be gotten
from (Johnin every day and thus keep
in time witli the rest of the world.
Kecorder-elect J. P. Harter gave
tlie band boys a warm reception on the
occasion of their serenade to him last
Saturday evening. The band enjoyed
the ice cream very much and took it all
in coolly. Mr. Harter had given a
social invitation to the organization of
which lie is leader to celebrate tlie event
of his election at his residence. Aftei
a few tunes had been played lie resjioiid
ed with a neat little speech in which he
returned his thanks to the band aud
citizens of Millheim for their kind sup
port at tlit recent election. The re
moval of Sluuly to Bellefonte will rob
tlie Millheim band of its best musician
and tlie borough will lose a useful and
respected citizen.
TRESPASSING ON PROPERTY.— Some
persons think that the sign boards for
bidding hunting, fishing, nut gathering
or trespassing upon private lands are
of little account aud they may be re
garded with impunity. This is amis
take, as the law makes it an act of tres.
pass to go upon any cultivated or en
closed laud for any purpose without
permission from the owner, even if
there is no signboard, and tlie owner is
entitled to tecover actual damage for
such trespass. When the sign boards
are properly erected, any iierson who
trespasses upon laud so guarded is not
only liable to pay the actual damages,'
hut also a penalty not exceeding $25. 1
If, however, the land owner wishes to:
avail himself of the provisions of tlie
law he must comply {with tlie require- |
ments. There must be at least one
sign, not hss than a foot square to ev
ery fifty acres of land, upon the lot
lines, upon the shoresjptr banks of the
lake, stream or pond which it is intend
ed to protect. Any person who defaces,
injures or destroys such a sign board is
guilty of a misdemeanor aud liable to a
penalty of $25.
NEGLECTING DISEASE.— One reason
that cases terminate fatally that at first
were not believed to he serious is be
cause patients neglect disease in its first
at d faint attack. They wait until the
enemy is well into the citadel, and then !
they find it very difficult to dislodge!
him. It is the height of folly to treat
illness as a matter of small importance,
for we know not what may be developed.
A nihil who lias a family to sup|>ort; a
woman who has children and a house |
to care for—in fact, no oue who thinks j
life is wortli living yields to sickness
until they find that it is going to get j
the best of .them, and then is tlie time
for a prompt, thorough and effective j
medicine. With Simmons Liver Regu
lator you can always relieve and never
do harm. Little may lie needed, but
still when you have a simple ami
prompt assistance many dangerous
forms of disease may be arrested and
removed at tlie outset, for this is the
time or chance. Simmons Liver Regu
lator should be kept in every home
ready for every emergency. No home
should be without it to arrest disorders
promptly, which,if not taken in season,
often develop into serious diseases. It
stimulates tlie tornid liver, strengthens
the digestive organs, regulates the
bowels aud is uunpolled as an anti-bil
ious remedy, Give it a fair trial and
it will not only relieve but permanently
cure.
