Spring Mills.
The Democratic nominee for Governor is
well received in this section. Politics very
quiet.
Wm. Weaver of our village feels several
inches taller than he did last week—a daugh-
ter. Harry Frankenberger also feels at least
a dozen inches taller—a son.
The Spring Mills club played a game of
baseball with the Rebersburg team on Satur-
day last, the score being 10 to 20 in favor of
Spring Mills. The Rebersburg team can
play better, but on Saturday both sides were
considerably off, the Brush valley team es-
pecially—entirely too many runs to be
healthy playing.
Hay is about all housed and farmers re-
port a good crop. They say the weevil, fly
and rust have damaged the wheat to some
extent, potatoes are beginning to suffer for
want of rain. The oats looks well and gives
promise of a large yield. Cherries are a
drug at 2 cents per quart. In this neighbor-
hood they are exceedingly small, and nearly
all more or less defective. Berries plentiful
and cheap.
The school board of Gregg township have
made the following excellent appointments,
all being teachers of ability and capacity.
Prof. D. M. Wolf, the grammar school at
Spring Mills; —Derr, intermediate,
and Miss Mabel Sankey, the primary depart-
ment; R. U. Bitner, Decker; W. A.
. Brown, Polk Hill ; J. A. Wagner, Mountain;
C. E. Royer, Beaver Dam ; A. Puck, Penn
Hall ; Miss Mary Guise, Cross Roads; John
Rearick, Toll Gate ; G. W. Wagner, Farm-
er’s Mills ; J. B. White, Logan; A. J. Hazel,
Murray and A. M. Brungart, Hoy.
Our CELEBRATION.—Fourth of July here
was ushered in with the booming of cannon,
guns and a general fusilade of fire crackers.
Our village was thronged with visitors from
early morn ’til long after midnight. Flags,
streamers and the national colors floated
from every building in the village. Both
young and old seemed to vie with each
other in good humor and patriotism. Music,
mirth and fire crackers ruled the day and
evening. In the morning we had a lively
game of baseball between the ‘‘Sniddlefritz’’
nine and the “Wild Cat’ club. The score
proves that they were all expert players,being
16 to 17 in favor of the club. Immediately
after noonday the fun and sport commenced in
earnest. A tub race was the first on the pro-
gram, the first prize was awarded to Harry
Ruhl, the second to Court Shaeffer. After
which the parade was formed in the follow-
ing order. Dr. P. W. Leitzell, chief mar-
shal, Spring Mills band and drum corps, fol-
lowed by ten of our village beauties, hand-
somely attired in white dresses wearing sash-
es of national colors, and bearing a large
American flag. Next were the war worn
veterans, J. I. Condo in command. These
venerable warriors marched with “banners
unfurled. Then followed the K. of G. E.,
W. P. Alexander, marshal; the JSons of
Veterans, with G. H. Long in command;
and a large company of lads attired in navy
blue uniforms armed with guns, W. B. Krape
in command. The lads looked remarkably
well and as they marched along with mili-
tary precision were frequently applauded.
The parade halted a short distance above
the iron bridge to raise the flag. The young
ladies attached the flag to a cable and it was
then thrown to the breeze amid cheering,
music and a salute of musketry. When quiet
was restored the young ladies sung ‘‘We’'ll
stand by the Flag,” and acquitted them-
selves admirably. The march was then re-
sumed to the grounds north of the village se-
lected for the celebration. Here the commit-
tee had every arrangement made for the
comfort and pleasure of everybody. Indeed
nothing was left undone for the comfort
and convenience of the visitors. Prof. D. M.
Wolf delivered a patriotic address, giving a
history of the American flag, and relating
many interesting events connected with it.
Professor Krise, of Centre Hall : also made a
few appropriate remarks. The games then
commenced, the wheelbarrow, potato, bag
and pie races were all amusing and created
considerable fun. Earl Bartley seems to
have been in the zenith of his glory as he
won all the prizes. The sham battle was de-
cidedly good and exceedingly well man-
cuvered. The camp fire conducted by the
veterans, their mode of housekeeping, cook-
ing beans &c, while on the tented field
proved quite interesting, giving us a fair in-
sight of genuine army life.
In the evening Hon. John G, Love de-
livered a brilliant address, eliciting the
closest; attention from an enthusiastic audi-
ence. Thomas Harter of the Gazette also de-
livered a brief address. The celebration was
then closed with a magnificent display of
fire works. ,
The Sons of Veterans are to be congratula-
ted upon their success in everything con-
nected with the celebration. Nothing was
left undone to make the occasion attractive
and entertaining. The large number of peo-
ple were evidently pleased and delighted,
and unhesitatingly pronounced the celebra-
tion a complete success, excelling all pre-
vious efforts in Spring Mills.
Pine Grove Mention.
Mrs. Theophilus Weaver, of State College,
visited Mrs. D. G. Meek last week.
J. C. Goheen and family, of Tyrone are
spending a few days at his old home at
Rock Springs.
The beautiful weather has enabled our
farmers to harvest one of the heaviest wheat
and hay crops we have had for years.
G. W. McWilliams has completed his new
well with a turbine wheel and has 84 feet of
water. In due time he will have it piped in-
to his house and barn.
Prof. G. W. Weaver, of Clearfield, spent
several days here last week arranging for ad-
ditional buildings on his Main street prop-
erty, which he intends to improve until it is
one of the best in the town.
The burial of Heister Clymer Hoy in the
new cemetery at this place, at noon on the
7th, was largely attended. He was a fine
young man who had many friends here,
where he spent his boyhood.
Bill Smith, one of the push farmers on the
Branch, has been obliged to build up several
stacks notwithstanding his big barn.
From present indications much straw will
be stacked for want of barn roora.
Miss Clara Walker has left her brother Le-
vi in charge of the domestic affairs and gone
to Virginia to visit her sister, Mrs. Harry
Meyers. She started on the 6th in order to
attend the meeting of the National teachers
association which met in Washington last
week.
Specifications are posted for the construc-
tion of the new school house at Pine Hall.
The bids will be considered on the 23rd,
when the board meets at the Centre school
house to choose teachers for the winter term.
Neither the war nor low wages has hindered
the directors from being flooded with appli-
cations from Lewisburg to Pittsburg.
Farmer Fred Myers is short a colt thal
committed suicide by hanging itself in the
stable one day this week, He had a pair of
them and feels the loss keenly.
Rev. J. T. Haughawout, of Clearfield, very
ably preached in the Presbyterian church
last Sunday evening. He drove from Clear-
field that day on his way to Kishacoquillas
to officiate at the funeral of his old friend, C.
T. Gibboney, on Monday. He preached here
many years ago and his visit at this time was
very much appreciated by Mr. and Mrs. J.
B. Mitchell who entertained him.
On the 7th, just as the rays of the morning
sun were gilding the east Sarah Alice, the
little daughter of George and Alice Lutz, of
near Pine Hall, entered into life eternal.
She was a year and nine months old, a very
bright child and one for whom her parents
are almost heart broken. On the 8th she
was tenderly carried to the grave by her four
aunts and buried at Pine Hall with Rev.
Black officiating.
Mr. Newton Neidigh has purchased the D.
L. Dennis farm from Samuel Wait, who
bought it two years ago. In addition to the
original survey Mr. Neidigh bought all
the cleared land west of the road leading to
Scotia and five acres of timber from George
Cronemiller which originally belonged to the
David Fye farm. Mr. Neidigh is to be con-
gratulated for the farm is one of the best in
the valley and beside Newt. is a Democrat
worthy of Ferguson’s ranks.

of the board of education, of Snow Shoe Twp.,
