It is the intention of the com- mittee to erect several substantial buildings for the benefit of exhibitors, and in many other ways improve the camp for the comfort van of the peoplé. The park In a general wag the out-look for the fall potato crop in this valley is promising, but those who watch the growth of tubers say that blight has made its appearance in many fields. No effort is made to prevent this fungus disease, and should it become general the yield will be very materially lessened. The ‘Diamond Hotel” of which Edwin Ruhl is proprietor is becoming a favorite Every day finds new faces around the table and “jolly good fellows they are’ as a rule. The proprietor isa landlord in every sense of the word and knows how to take care of his guests. The Ladies Aid Society of the Reformed church, will hold a “Poverty Social” in the Girange auditorum, Thursday evening, of next week. There will be something new in store for all who wish to attend—and everyone should seize the opportunity. You will hear and learn something worth knowing. The program will be full of interest ; the young people are going to show their talent, pluck and energy. ~ Spring Mills. County superintendent Gramley held the teachers examination ‘‘bee’” in our village on Monday last (29th ult.) Seven out of twenty- two applications failed—one-third, that’s a little rough. However three of the seven, were finally successful ata subsequent ex- amination. There was some little racket here on the “Fourth,” with fire crackers, just enough to remind us that it was’nt Sunday nor any ordinary day. In the evening there was to be some pyrotechnics on what is called the “hill”’—but the rain storm paevented it. The junior base ball club of Spring Mills had quite a lively game with the juniors of Brushvalley, at Rebersburg, on Saturday last. The score stood 5 to 9 in favor of our village. The honors being, even. I presume they will soon have the third contest for the “championship.” Our telephone communications with Mill- heim and the lower end of the county after being in operation for a day or two suddenly terminated by the P. R. R. company cutting the wires crossing their tracks at our village, elevated 25 feet. Instead of cutting them directly above the tracks, they trespassed on other property to sever the wire. at the pole. It looks very like a trespass, or a case of malicious mischief. The Republican ticket gave no satisfaction in these valleys. The announcement of the so called nominations were received with an- gry frowns and disgust. Its personnel is be- low mediocrity, and with one trifling excep- tion, ail the candidates are from west of the mountain and naturally the Republicans on the Penns valley side are angry and out of humor, which bodes no good to the party. The ticket was set up by the Bellefonte ma- chine a week before, changed several times and finally slated Saturday evening or Sun- day morning previous to the convention. The convention itself was simply a farce and entirely unnecessary, of course. A telegram was sent to the Philadelphia Press on Mon- day and printed on Tuesday morning, an- nouncing the nominees correctly, excepting C. P. Long for treasurer and M. M. Musser, for commissioner. This ‘‘mistake’” was pur- posely made to make it appear as if the pres- ent ticket had not been ‘‘doctored” and set up, but the dispatch deceived no one, every- body knew better. The Republican ticket now in the field, is exactly the one finally agreed upon by the Bellefonte clique pre- vious to the convention. A. V. Miller select- ed for sheriff, IL ¢ ability but is an office beggar, and has no influence— cannot even command his party strength in these valleys. Last fall the machine sad- dled him on the party in spite of protests and remonstrances, and of course he was elected —to remain at home. His defeat again, is a forgone conclusion. Harrison Kline, select- ed by the combine for treasurer, is unknown on this side of the mountain, his following in this section may be counted with the fin- gers, and both hands are not necessary. Without exception the Republican ticket as formed and promulgated by the Bellefonte machine or combine, is the most unpopular and weakest aggregation of candidates they have had for years. It actually has no re- deeming teatures, and owing to this section being slighted and almost entirely #hored they will evidently allow the election to go by default. Besides some Republicans here are not in favor of having their candidates manufactured for them by a conclave of sor- did politicians in lawyers offices who generally dispose of the nominations to the highest bidder. The county campaign is now open and regret is expressed, that ow- ing to the dissatisfaction among the rank and file of the Republican party in this locality the contest will be very lame and one sided. The election of the entire Democratic ticket ia Lata Pine Grove Mention. is beyond a doubt. New Advertisments. Miss Nannie Glenn is slowly recovering from a lot of bruises and sprains she got from falling down stairs, several weeks ago. The new concrete side walks are a great improvement but our women folks scold about the tracks on the carpet. ? A black cape with a raised figure was lost between the Kepler farm and Rock Spring. The finder will confer a favor by leaving it at Mrs. P. F. Bottorf’s. e The anniversary of the independence of the United States pas: off quictly the small boys alone displayed their patriotism with a liberal supply of fire crackers. Last week Mrs. J. M. Yearick, of Jackson- ville, and her sister, Emma Smeltzer, of | Chicago, were in town visiting among old acquaintances after an absence of twenty | years. Dr. S. S. McCormick and his interesting fam- ily were recent ‘visitors among their friends in this section. Most of his time was spent with his father the venerable J. Shannon McCormick who is yet as interested in the welfare of the community as ever. The P.S. of A. celebrated the 4th near Penna. Furnace in the style of a basket pic- nic. Although the weather was unfavorable | for out door sports yet the rain failed to scat- ter the crowd and the boys disposed of all they had to sell and netted quite a snug sum for the treasury. The early part of this week a partial fam- ily reunion was held at the H. R. Smith, home on Main street. M. L., of Johnstown, Wm. H., the hustling furniture man of Spring Mills, and Mrs. Alexander, of Potter's Mills, were all home to gladden the heart of the old Mexican veteran. Mr. David Elder, who has been a resident of the western states for forty-one years, is now visiting his birth place at Baileyville, where only one family, Sadie and Nannie Glenn, are living as when he left. Mr. Elder has a brother living at Punxsutawney and he is also related to Mrs. John Hunter, of Stormstown, where he expects to visit before his return to Iowa. ———————————— All Through Brush Valley. Miss Sarah Moyer is in Mercer county visit- ing her sister. : Miss Gutilius, of Lewisburg, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Brumgart. Ex-commissioner John Wolf is one of our foremost silver men. Mrs. Mary Nicholas, of Williamsport, is a guest at the ‘good old home.” Miss Lula Stover, of Kreamerville, and Harry Royer, of Rockville, were married last week. : Thomas Zeigler, the assistant postmaster, is a radical silverite and is well posted on the WATCHMAN'S news. Many of the Madisonburg and Wolf Store people attended the lecture on the financial question, last Friday evening. The silver bugs have increased their num- ber considerably since last Friday evening, and many gold bugs are on the ‘“‘fence.” All the telephone poles are up, and one feels the modern current and stimulus enter- ing our valley, ever without any wire as yet. Charles Woodling, one of our Brushvalley boys, who has developed into a successful clerk in New York, is home visiting his sister, Mrs. Harvey Burd. Sup’t. C. L. Gramley left Monday for Buffalo, N. Y., to attend the National Teach- ers Association, which is now in session in that city. Later he will attend the State convention. o TuE LecTURE.—Last Friday evening our valley was the scene of an unusual political gathering and a very enthusiastic meeting, which assembled in the hall at Rebersburg. After Jos. K. Moyer was chosen president; Prof. H. E. Bierly, secretary and C. C. Loose, Willis Weber and Uriah Shaffer vice presi- dents, the speaker of the evening, Hon. Wil- lis R. Bierly, of North Dakota, was intro-. duced. His lecture was on the financial question from a silver stand point. It wasa masterly analysis, exposition and ‘criticism of this important question. Mr. Bierly is a pleasing orator and he held the individed attentien of his audience for one hour and a half. The hall was not large enough to hold the people who came from all parts of the valley to hear the question discussed. Such logical and able discussions are just the forces necessary to dispel the gold illusion haunting too many of our eastern Democrats and they are absolutely necessary for a comprehensive knowledge of to-days’s needs.
