Squire Hoy, of State College, visited us
last Saturday. -
Harry Imboden, of Philipsburg, with
his wife and little folks are enjoying
their yearly outing with grandfather
Tanyer.
We gladly note the improvement of
Miss Leah Dunlap, who'has been very ill
with typhoid fever. Her recovery is now
assured.
Mr. Herbert Miller, one or Bellefonte's
hustling carpenters, came up last Satur-
day to see just how picnics are conducted
in the country. Mr. Miller was accompau-
ied by his pleasant little frau who was
delighted with the music as well as_the
hig crowd.
Our Post Master is in a quandary to
know what he shall do with some mail
matter, which was recently brought to
his office. One of his patrons instead of
using 2 one cent stamps on some printed
matter cut a 2 cent stamp diagonally
across, placing 4 of the stamp on each
paper—a cross cut on Uncle Sam. i
Mrs. Arabella Zimmerman is still at the
home of J. B. Mitchell. For some weeks
she has been housed up and as soon as
she is able she willleave for her home in |
Kansas. During her last visit East some
twelve years ago she was sick for weeks
with asthma which is certainly very dis-
couraging; but we hope she may be en-
tirely restored to health by our pure and
invigorating mountain air before return-
ing to her home.
Our farmers are through the harvest
rush and are almost at a stand still on
account of the dry weather. Plowing is
very difficult on account of the bad
catch of grass last spring. A very large
crop of wheat and rye will be sown. Corn
is earing well but needs rain. The largest
potato crop ever known in this section is
- being raised in fine condition. It is a
common sight to see potatoes that weigh
two and three pounds a piece. i

toborder formerly of this place. She died !
at her home in Wilson county, Kansas, on
the 8th inst., just one week after the
death of her mother Eve Markel. She
had been in feeble health. for some years
and for the last year was blind and had
become a great charge. She was 72 years
old and leaves a large family to mourn
the death of a good and kind Christian
mother.
The early part of this week Jake Wag-
nerand Jake Keller donned their war
paint and made for your correspondent
and indeed the mud is still on their horns.
Mr. Wagner says number 7? was right, but
as it isa boy he wants due credit. Squire
Keller read us the riot act in regard to
the report of the Eckley and Smith as- |
sault. We are frank to admit our ignor- |
ance in such proceedings. But said at the
time that the law should be measured
out very stingtly in such cases. The
Justice used his best endeavors to have
the matter settled amiably after he gave, /
as he thought, Mr. Smith a fair hearing |
and bailed him over for his appearance at |
court. We said then and still insist that
the prosecutor will have the costs to pay. |
Ferguson township's peaceful record has | fen times its price of ten cents.
heen broken. It having been many years
since the quarter sessions had to guard
bur peaceful interests. Heretofore our
petty scrapes were adjusted/at home just |
where this one ought ove been and |
thus save the costs of ny more which |
will likely follow. !
DEATH OF JOSEPH WARD.—On Tuesday |
the 27 at half-past three o'clock, Joseph !
Ward, the veteran carpenter and contrac® '
tor, quietly breathed his last at his home |
on Main street, surrounded by his wife
and family. Although past seventy he
had enjoyed his usual health until very :
recently, and on the 13th of July was
awarded the contract of building the new
school house at Guyer, about that time he
showed signs of breaking down and his
death was the result of heart and kidney |
trouble brought on by sciatica. |
Mr. Ward, the oldest often sons, was |
born in Lebanon county May 2nd 1825
When only a boy he came to this town-
ship with his father, Simon Ward, and
learned the carpenter trade with David
Goheen. Dec. 27th 1818 he married Mary
Gill, who with their six sons and four
daughters mourn the loss of one of God’s
noblest creations “an honest man.”
In this place and valley, where he had
built many private and public buildings:
he was noted for his honesty and integ-
rity. Of simple habits and quiet dispo-
sition he was respected by the entire com-
munity. Politically a life long Democrat
he was iprominently mentioned for post
master of our town two yearsago. When
Gen. Lee invaded Pennsylvania he enlist-
ed as a corporal in Co. A. 46.Pa. Vol. in
which command he served out his enlist:
ment, faithfully and courageously as he
did every duty he undertook in this life.
, Hischildren are W. B,, G. W., Lucetta,
Clara and Mary of this place. Alfred, of
111.; Dr. Ed. of Bellefone ; Dr. Ira. Tod, of
Chicago ; Herbert, of Shamokin ; and Mrs.
King of Sunbury. The funeral services
will be held this afternoon, after which he
will be buried in the cemetery in this
place.
THE MusIiCIANS PIcNic.—Last Saturday
the musicians and their friends, who were
many in number, took possession of our
town and from early morning until the
thunder storm they had a sporting good
time, admiring the decorations, listening
to the music and speeches and convers-
ing with their neighbors, The Port Ma-
tilda and Forest city bands and a ‘home
talent drum corps furnished the musle for
the march to the speakers stand in the
grove, which was reached just as dinner
was announced.
At the bugles sound a rush was
made to the grand stand as Judge
Krebs, of Clearfield had been seen
on thegrounds and all were anxious to
hear him. Rev. C. T. Aikens, master of
ceremonies called on Rev. Ementrout for
the opening prayer, which was followed
by the Addresses of Welcome by Prof.
Weaver. Rev. Aikens then gave a brief
talk on Music and Musicians which was
interesting as well 18 ‘dnstructive. The
choir sang several choice selections and
Judge Krebs was introduced as the orator
ofthe day. He prefaced his speech by
saying ‘‘he had no speech to make; hut by
the time he got rightly started his hear-
ers thought differently. He recalled his
hoyhood and school days at the old
Academy, of which not one [of the trus-
tees are living and urged that it he raised
