| The Grangers Picnic In the Rain.
; Wet Weather the Entire Week.— The Prospects of
a Big Time Blasted by Copious Rains.—The
Picnic Continued Until Next Tuesday Evening.
The 21st annual picnic and exhibi-
tion of the Grangers of Central Pennsyl-
vania which has been holding, at Grange
Park, Centre Hall, since Saturday start-
ed off under the most promising circum-
stances. But just when the managers
had looked after their part, as they had
never done before, nature fails to do
hers and the picnickers find themselves
struggling in the mud and water. Too
uncomfortable to enjoy themselves at
the Park and still loath to go home for
fear it clears up after they have gone.
Weather prophet Foster predicted
that the equinoctial storm this year
would cover a period, ranging from the
14th to the 25th, and the condition of
the elements thus far prove beyond the
peradventure of a doubtthat the Grang-
ers would have done well to have fol-
lowed his advice. It began raining on
Saturday evening and there has not been
more than two hours of intermission
since, There are about two hundred
and fifty living tents on the grounds
nearly all of which were taken, and not,
withstanding the steady rain of Sunday
tenters continued moving to the park on
Monday, but once there all they could
do was hunt a tent and try to keep dry.
THE IMPROVEMENTS.
There have been a number of improve-
ments made on the grounds since the
last picnic, principal among which are
the new auditorium, a large wooden
structure in which the meetings are
held. It is closed on all sides, so that it
affords an excellent shelter from the
storm. There are new stock pens, new
buildings for exhibitors and a number of
other improvements which would have
added materially to the public comfort
had the weather not been so bad.
THE PROGRAM OF ENTERTAINMENT.
As was published in last week’s pa-
pers the exercises 1n the auditorium
have been conducted. The program
has been adhered to and good turn outs
the rule. The people seem glad of a
chance to crawl out of their sticky tents
and get somewhere in the dry.
On Sunday religious services were
conducted by Revs. Illingworth, Isen-
berg and Goodling. All of them had
good audiences. Monday was devoted
to fixing up the camp and completing
the arrangements for the week. In the
evening the formal opening of the pic-
nic was made. Messrs I. S. Frain,
master of the county grange, and Col.
Jas. F. Weaver, the grange lecturer,
addressed the mesting. On Tuesday,
‘Wednesday and yesterday the meetings
were ail entertaining, most of the pub-
lished speakers having fulfilled their en-
gagements.
THE AMUSEMENTS OF THE CAMP.
The wet weather rather dampened
the ardor of the strong lunged fakir and
the peanut booth, the side-show and
merry-go-round people had to acknow-
ledge themselves drowned out and only
undertook to do a half hearted business.
The mid-way was full of money grab-
bers. There were phonographs, pulling
machines, card games, shooting galler-
ies, dodging niggers, merry-go-rounds,
the giant horse and the horse with cow
horns on its feet, C. C. Sarvis and his
baby bear and o’possums, dancing girls,
the pony races, Dr. Hollingsworth’s
wild horse breaking aggregation and
lots of other things all ready to tickle
the people——for a consideration—
the minute the rain stopped falling.
All of them had paid their ground rent
and the refreshment people knew they
would lose big money if they did not
sell their stock. When Thursday came
and there was no sign of clearing up a
large number of this class of tradesmen
left and many of the tenters went home
also.

fine display of potted plants.
The Pennsylvania State College building
was in charge of Mr. John Robinson and as
usual the many specimens of work and course
charts attracted attention.
Though there was a marked increase in the
number of exhibits overall preceding years,
the grounds are in such a condition that there
is no satisfaction to either exhibitor or sight
seer. Many of the firms have engines on the
ground and if it clears up to-day the park will
resound with the hum of all kinds of ma-
chinery. They are all prepared to make an
interesting—and practical test of their ma.
chinery.
Yesterday many of the {ents were surround-
ed with water several inches deep. The
ground was so soft that every one was in mud
shoe mouth deep. Itis too bad the weather
has been so unpropitious as everything prom-
ised a great picnic.
THE PICNIC CONTINUED.
Owing to the wet weather and the
general unsatisfactory result of the
picnic thus far it will be continued
until next Tuesday evening. This ar-
rangement will have a tendency toward
making to-day and tomorrow big days in
the event of fair weather.
It is really too bad that the affair has
turned out as it has for if the weather
had been good a great crowd would have
attended.
—— Foster predicted this rain and it
has come according to his statement.
——H. S. Shellenberger, a Juniata
county farmer, realized more than $5,000
oft of his peach orchard this year.
——James Douglass, a rather elderly
Altoona man, has been arrested for tap-
ping the till in Westfall & Co’s. hat
store in that place. He had a duplicate
key to the room.
——The Loganten and Rebersburg
ball clubs met on the Greenburr
grounds, on Saturday, and the latter
players went home after the game, de-
feated by the score of 12 to 9.
——The women know exactly what
they are talking about when they say
Mrs. Gilmore has the best and prettiest
selection of neckwear, buckles ani
underwear in the town.
——Work has begun on the drilling
of the first test well of the Salt Lick oil
and ges company, which is prospecting
for o1l and gas near Karthause, in Clear-
field county. The first well will be
drilled 2,000 feet deep, then if indications
point to the advisibility of investigating
further it will be done.
——The new hats and bonnets at
Mrs. Gilmore’s, who is just home from
a two weeks stay in New York, deserve
more than passing notice. They are
beauties. Bows, buckles, rosettes cock’s
feathers are the prevailing characteris-
tics ; but if you want anything ckic and
becoming see them yourseif.
——Night operator Robert Gibson
and James Day, conductor of the P. and
E. work train, at Lock Haven, have
been held in $1,000 bail for ‘gross negli-
gence in failing to observe the rules,
regulations and precautions of the rail-
road company’ whereby causing a
wreck in which Jeremiah Sheehan and
David Fohrst were killed. The charge
——Killarney and the Rhine” will
appear at the opera house next Thurs-
day. An Albany, (N. Y.,) paper says;
“The Albany theatre was crowded af-
ternoon and evening, yesterday, to wit-
ness the performance of ‘Killarney and
the Rhine,” in which the picturesque
scenes of Ireland and Germany are pre-
sented. The lakes of Killarney are
particularly beautiful. Mr. J. EXE.
Toole, as a German, is an artist with a
good dialect. He is supported by a
very good company and the play runs
along smoothly. There is considerable
specialty work which is very creditable.
——If the Street coramiitee of coun-
cil doesn’t ses to it that the High street
bridge over Spring creek is fixed up
soon there will be more Solt cases to be
paid. The last time it was repaired the
workmen left the opening in the floor
between the drive ways uncovered and |
if a horse should shy now, while cross- |
ing the bridge, there is great danger of a
serious accident. Then at a number of |
places, where the foot-way joins the
other portions of the bridge, are cracks |
where a pedestrian’s foot might easi- |
ly become caughtand a broken limb
would surely result. These places had '
better be lockel afier before the bor-
ough has un ther bill of damages to pay.

MEN WHO MAKE FARMING PAY. —
With the price of wheat as low as it has
ever been known to be and other farm
products in comparatively poor demand,
there is a question in the minds of many
as to whether farming pays. Its answer
depends upon certain conditicns which
are governed solely by the character of
the farmers, the result of whose work is
taken as the basis upon which calcula-
tions are made.
No matter how high the price of
their products may climb there 1s a class
of farmers who will never be able to
make more than a scanty living. They
have no tact whatever, they do not ui-
derstand that methods of agriculture
vary just as much as those of any other
pursuit and that success on the farm is
the result of thritt and progressiveness
only.
Then we find another class of men
who are constantly on the alert, watch-
ing in what lines there is the best fu-
tures and then working it up. Men
who make money out of everything they
raise, because they have the good judg-
ment to plant only those things which
they know will be in demand at stiff
prices. In this latter class we find Col.
W. F. Rsynolds, of this place, “who is
accredited with being the largest individ-
ual farm operator in Pennsylvania,
taking great interest in agriculture, and
owning some seventean farms, to the
working of which he gives his personal
attention. They are all under the high-
est state of cultivation, and everything
about them denotes thrift and careful
maaagement. His farm houses and
barns are models of neatness and con-
venience and he leads the advance in
introducing every new appliance and
making the business profitable. His
crops are invariably large, but this
year particularly so. In gathering and
housing them it required the labor of
over seventy-five men and one hundred
horses, his barns were filled to over-
flowing and a large quantity of his grain
had to be threshed in the field. The
question of ‘Does farming pay ?”’ has
been solved by Colonel Reynolds for by
giving the same careful attention to his
farms, which he does to his other in-
tereste, he has made them a source of |
large profit.
Col. James Young, of Middletown,
Dauphin county, known as the “Farmer
King” ot Pennsylvania, recently finish-
ed housing his cereal crops for the
present season. Hay, wheat, rye and
oats were gathered from over 1,290
acres and housed in excellent condition.
The crops filled ten barns. Thirty-five
horses and forty mules were employed for
a period of twenty-five days to complete
the work. Altogether Col. Young owns,
in his ten fine farms, 2,200 acres of land
and every panel of fence upon all these
farms is kept nicely whitewashed.”
Mgrs. JacoB ZIMMERMAN DEAD.—
After a lingering illness of five weeks,
Mrs. Zimmerman died at her home, in
Walker township, September 12, aged
68 years, 5 months and 25 days. The
deceased was of Irish parentage, having
been a niece of Daniel O’Conol, and was
but two years of age when brought to
America. Her father and mother both
died a short time after arriving here,
thus leaving her an orphan. Four
children survive her, Mary, who has
been confined to her bed for ten weeks,
Alma and Mrs. A. A. Pletcher, have
been their constant attendants up to this
time. James Z., of Johnstown, being
the only son.
The subject of this notice identified
herself with the Presbyterian church in
early life, and lived as an upright
christian. She always spurned that
which would degrade, always giving kind
and friendly counsel to those with whom
she conversed. Her remains were laid
to rest in the Presbyterian cemetery at
Jacksonville. Funeral services were con-
ducted by Rev. Elliot, of this place.
Mgrs. RoBert Cork's UNEXPECTED
Deara. —The sad intelligence that Mrs.
Robert Cole had died Sunday evening
at her home, on east High street, was a
shock to the many people in town who
were numbered among the acquaintances
of this estimable woman. She had been
ill only a short time, the nature of her
trouble haying ballad the knowledge of
four physicians, though she is supposed
to have had blood poisoning. The trou-
ble began with a slight pain and swel-
ling in the glands of the neck.
Deceased was Anna Fulton, before
marriage, and besides a husband, with
three
sisters to mourn her untimely death.
She was thirty-two vears of age and had
been a zealous member of the Methodist
church. Rev. J. H. McGarrah having |
conducted her burial services on Wed- |
nesday.
-—— William Smith, one of the well
known old residents of Spring creek, died
at his home a few miles from this place,
last Saturday morning. Deceased had
suffered greatly with constipation and |
his death resulted directly therefrom.
He had been in attendance at market
here and was seized with a continuous
vomiting which hurried on his death. |
Ha was 62 years old and leaves a widow
with several children.

Granger's picnic week and the young
folks want to have a good time, there-
fore they get married and attend the
greatest gatbering of the season. So

of the pleasantest spots in Centre Co.,
Pleasant Gap, where they paused at the
residence of Mr. Wm. Kerstetter, whose

all those who wish to be bound with the
bonds of matrimony. There in one of the
most pleasant parlors of that peaceful
little country village the happy couple
listened to the solemn words pronounced
by Rev. J. C. Young, which made them
husband and wife, to live together dur-
ing life.
Now Harry we wish, that you and
your pretty bride may have a continued
feast of good things. We hope that
your voyage down the stream of time

have sailed far beyond the golden circle
with your sky all radiant with the glim-

BELLEFONTE’S CENTENNIAL. —Some
time next year Bellefonte will be one
hundred years old, consequently it is

aside for that purpose and arrangements
for proper demonstrations have taken
material form. On the first day there
will be a grand parade of civic orders.
On the next Belletonte’s industrial pa-
rade will take place and on the last day
the district firemen’s convention will
meet here and celebrate appropriately.
