Centre Hall.
John Snavely will erect a shingle mill on
Egg Hill where he expects to cut a large
number of shingles.
W. H. Kuhn, who for the past two years
has lived at Jersey Shore, will make his home
with S. W. Smith, his son-in-law, in this
place.
The linemen of the Bell telephone company
have added several more wires to the already ,
numerous lines running to the exchange in
this place.
Howard Emerick has secured a position at
the Warren State hospital, and will go
to that place in a short time. He has a broth-
er at the institution doing service.
Veterinary surgeon Rider, of this place,
made application for an army position and
the other day received notice that he would
be ordered to report in a short time,
Grandmother Miller, mother of barber
Jerry Miller, had a light paralytic stroke one
day last week. Mrs. Miller is well up in the
eighties and is a person of remarkable en-
durance.
F. E. Arney’s baby boy has been seriously
ill for some time past, but is improving at
present. Mrs. Annie Van Pelt has recovered
from a rather serious illness which continued
for two or more weeks.
Some one jokingly remarked that George
Koch’s candidacy for the Legislature is help-
ing the industries of State College since it
was the cause of the establishment of a button
factory in that town.
The Hemphill residence is receiving a coat
of paint. This is one of the prettiest homes
in Centre Hall, and was built by W. H.
Runkle, who is now successfully operating
Centre Hall’s hotel.
If the weather is favorable considerable
corn will be planted the latter part of this
week. The cold weather during April kept
farm work back, but the corn crop will be
put in in good time, however.
The Sunday papers were eagerly bought at
ten cents per piece last Sunday. A little
high, but these are war times. The WATCH-
MAN bulletin gave out the news of Dewey’s
heroic act and that made Sunday paper read-
_ ing stale.
James H. Lohr, formerly of this place,
but now of Philadelphia, is here on a short
visit. He holds a good clerkship at the
Pennsylvania railroad’s headquarters. Wm.
Lohr. Sr., accompanied him from Lewisburg,
and was glad to see his many old friends
again in this place.
W. O. Rearick is just completing this year’s
out-put of Centre Hall corn planters which
have gained a wide reputation upon their
own merits. The implement is the best of
the kind on the market. There is not a drop-
per to be found on any other machine that
works as true as the one used on this planter.
At the communion service held in the
Lutheran church last Sabbath twelve mem-
bers were added by confirmation and three
by certificate. Frank Smith is a valuable
acquisition to the choir of that church as was
demonstrated by last Sabbath. Mrs. F. M.
Crawford, soprano, and Miss Estie Ocker,
alto, rendered a beautiful duet.
The WATCHMAN’S war bulletin is closely
watched every day, and due appreciation of
the management's efforts to give Centre Hall
correct and reliable news is shown by the
citizens adding their names to the WATCH-
MAN'S subscription list. This is not more
than right. A newspaper as complete in
every detail, as thoroughly Democratic, and
fair in its criticisms, should be well sup-
ported.
Dollar wheat brought a large amount of
that commodity to the market this week.
The grain fields are looking well as a rule
through the valley, and it is hoped that the
price will remain as it is for the coming
crop. The farmers are not believing
that when the dealer settles with them in
white metal that they are only getting fifty
cents for their grain. It would be an easy
matter to contract with the farmers for the
future crop at the rate of a standard silver
dollar for one bushel of wheat.
The annual meeting of the Reformed and
Lutheran cemetery association will be held
in the Reformed church Monday evening of
next week to select trustees. Theassociation’s
finances are in good condition. The ceme-
tery was greatly improved, this spring, by
leveling the portion upon which the old Re-
formed church stood. Private parties are
making their annual efforts to beautify in-
dividual graves, and by the last of May the
old burying ground will present an appear-
ance that will indicate that the buried dead
are not forgotten.
Geerge H. Emerick is seriously contem-
plating the purchase of a threshing outfit for
the coming promising large crop of grain.
If he does go into the business he will secure
the best machine on the market, with all the
modern improvements. And why should
not this section have an up-to-date machine
of this kind. Much of the dust threshers
must endure while the operation of sepa-
rating grain is in progress is overcome
with the best improved threshers, and Mr.
Emerick will be one of the first to introduce
these admirable features next fall. Farmers
will tumble in when the time comes.
The Penns Valley ministerial association
met last week at Lemont and was well at-
tended. It is the purpose of that body to
prepare a chart of the district covered by
the ministers interested which includes the
territory betweeu Spring Mills and Pine
Grove Mills, also State College, Lemont and
George's valley. The proposed chart will
show all public roads and residences thereon
and names of occupants. The idea in the
mind of the ministers is to divide the terri-
tory and see that the different families are
called upon by the pastors, obtain their tem-
poral needs, if any; their church proclivities,
ete. Rev. Leisher. of Boalsburg, has charge
of the work. ‘‘Pulpit Preparation” was one
of the subjects discussed.

The West Susquehanna classis of the Re-
formed church will meet in Centre Hall,
Wednesday, 18th inst. Rev. Eisenberg, Ph.
D., pastor of this charge, together with his
congregation, are making all necessary prepa-
ration for the event. The territory covered
by this organization includes Centre. Union,

Mifflinburg. The stated clerk is Rev. W
Haas, of Selinsgrove,

chanicsburg, secretary of foreign mission

the cause of the orphans.
cational work by the members of classis.

ars will be addressed, after which there will
be communion services.
If the proper arrangements can be made
the union society Christian Endeavor, the
United Evangelical C. E. and the Luther
League will hold a union meeting Sunday |
evening at 6:30, when topics especially for
young people will be discussed by visiting
ministers.
At 7:30 home missions will be discussed by
‘ Rev. A. C. Whitmer, of Lancaster, who is
missionary superintendent of the Eastern
and Potomac synods.
The day sessions will be devoted to the
regular classical work and the doors are open
at that time, to the public in general.
The splendid choir of the Reformed church
is making preparations for a feast of music.
No one will fail to be both entertained and
interested at any of the meetings.
Mr. Robert Jacobs is recovering from his
recent illness.
Harry Leathersis soliciting scholars for the
school he expects to teach at Mt. Eagle this
summer.
Mrs, Sarah Brown, of Lock Haven, is the
guest of her sister, Mrs. J. L. Neff, near this
place.
Mrs. Vanscoyoe, of Tyrone, with her little
granddaughter visited her sister, Mrs. Jen-
nie Curtin, a few days ago,
Mr. George Orris, of Bellwood, was lately
seen spinning around on his wheel. We pre-
sume he was calling on friends in this vicin-
ity.
In view of the war with Spain some of our
gentleman friends are already enlisting.
Some have gone. We hope the brave boys in
blue may come back to us, without a wound,
after the conflict is over, which we hope may
not be of long duration.
House cleaning is being done
homes around here. Yards are beginning to
look real nice. So much rain has vrevented
garden making, and the farmers were oblig-
ed to stop the plough until the ground be-
comes dry enough to sow oats.

The beautiful spring flowers adorn our
yards and gardens and all nature now pre-
sents a lovely appearance to the eye. Well
may the poet exclaim,
‘‘Hail May, bright, welcome May,
Charming, sunny, month of May,
Like the birds we chant the words,
To welcome lovely May.”
A number of our men and boys have lately
been spending much of their time fishing in
the Bald Eagle creek. Alfred Gates seems
to capture the finest catfish, while Sammy
Barthurst is more of an expert among suck-
ers and eels. Haste Leyman would enjoy
the fun had he time to go along, but farming
is his occupation at present, and the balance
of the time reading war news.
