held a ticket for the Decker reunion to be held at the Fred Decker home on the branch on Thursday. Mr. R. was accompanied by his son Bruce, a chip off the old block. Frederick Myers and John Fry, having in- vested in a steam threshing outfit, started out this week to assist in separating some of the grain from the chaff. With favorable weather the annual harvest home picnic to be held at the Baileyville park next Saturday will be unusually well attended. The committee who have the mat- ter in charge are sparing no time or labor in putting the track in first class order for trot- ters and bicycles. Everybody is invited. The scramble for our little post office is at an end and a good acquisition has been made to the Swallow party from our Republican ranks. On Tuesday J. G. Hess was officially notified of his appointment and accordingly filed the usual documents for his commis- sion in order that he can draw the salary that a Democratic incumbent has been lifting for the last six months. Mr. Miller has been one of the best officials the office ever had, always kind and obliging and we doubt if there can be any improvement in the distribution of our mails, although this is not Mr. Hess’ first attempt in that line. He has been tried and not found wanting. Mrs. Hannah Fox, wife of G. A. Jacobs, of Shingletown, died suddenly at the home of her son-in-law, John Leech, near Penna Furnace, where she was visiting. Upon her arrival the daughter and grand children set about to make her visit as pleasant as pos- sible. Before retiring on the night of the 15th, ice cream was served of which the old lady ate heartily ; retiring shortly after 10 o’clock. Owing to her having. heart trouble her daughter went to her room soon after- wards and was horror stricken to find her mother cold in death. Undertaker Weber, of Boalshurg, was sent for and the next day conveyed the corpse to her home in Shingle- town, where the whole community looked upon her asa maternal friend and counsellor. Deceased was born in Berks county 72 years ago. She moved, with her father John Fox, to near Shingletown, on the Branch, while quite young. February 17th, 1845, she mar- ried George Armstrong Jacobs. This union was blessed with six children: Dr. W. A. Jacobs, of Centre Hall ; Luther, of Illinois; John, of Shingletown; Mrs. Resides, of Bellefonte ; Mrs. Sowers, of State College ; Mrs. John Leech, of Graysville. They, to- gether with a grief stricken husband and two sisters, Mrs. Ramsels, Mary and John Fox, of Shingletown, mourn the sudden death of this old mother in Israel. Inter- ment was made in the Boalsburg cemetery on the 17th at 10a. m. Rev. Lesher, of whose church she was a member, officiated. A. Felty, M.- Hess, A. Lytle, John Kuhn, O. Thomas and Wm. Hoover were the pall bearers. Services were held in the Lutheran church at Boalsburg. Rebersburg. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Stover were visiting friends in Pennsvalley over Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. George Smull started, on Monday, on a trip to New York and Phila- delphia. : Mr. and Mrs. William Bierly, of near Lock Haven, are at present visiting Mrs. Bierly’s mother who is dangerously ill in this place. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Woodling, of Greater New York, are visiting their many friends in this valley. Charley is one of New York’s hustling business men. The hay and wheat crops of this locality are now housed in splendid condition and our farmers have much cause for thank- fulness, for better crops were never harvested in this valley. Rev. Warner, of Northumberland, who is soliciting funds for the endowment of a pro- fessorship in Susquehanna university in memory of Dr. Day, lately deceased mission- ary to Africa, preached in the Lutheran church last Sunday. Mrs. Burd, who had accompanied the re- mains of her deceased husband, the late Dr. E. J. Burd, to this place for burial, has re- turned to Snow Shoe where she will settle up the accounts of her husband, after which she will return to this place and make her future home with her parents Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Stover. Our school rooms are at present being scrubbed and everything put into first class condition for the schools which will open early in September. Mr. Loose, who has charge of the building here in town, is now serving his sixth year as director and during this time has shown himself thoroughly up to date and progressive and at the same time has maintained the confidence and support of the people. Such men are a blessingto a community. Resolutions of Respect. In memory of the death of Heister C. Hoy, a member of Washington Camp, No. 613, P. O. 8. of A., State College, Pa.

Hoy, who died from cramps of the whole body while bathing in the Susquehanna river at Cataract ; everything human aid could do to resuscitate him being done by his companions but of no avail, and WHEREAS, Heister C. Hoy, was a faithful member of this Camp, welcomed by all his brothers, always at his post of duty, ready with hand and purse to help, when help was needed. The ones who knew him best loved him most. No soul ever passed to the great beyond that was more faithful than his. Therefore, be it : Resolved, That we bow reverently to this sad and unexpected loss, and that we desire to place on record our appreciation of his faithfulness, and be it Resolved, That we as Brothers of Washing- ton Camp, No. 613, P.

W. 8. GLENN, CLARK HERMAN, Ww. B. BECK. Committee. ——At a meeting of the Fifth Reg. drum corps held on the 7th day of July, 1898, the following resolutions were adopted. WHEREAS, In obedience to the Great Com- mander our beloved comrade andZbrother-in- arms, chief bugler Frank Taylor, has an- swered to the last great roll call and has ex- changed the uniform of blue for the spotless robes of Paradise ; therefore be it Resolved, That while we mourn his sad and untimely death we realize that for him the battles of earthly life are over and he is now marching with that glorious army of patriots and martyrs who have gone before, and that his name is written in letters of gold on Heaven's roll of honor. Resolved, That as a further token of the es- teem and effection in which he was held by his comrades in the drum corps, our sergeant be instructed to procure and have sent to his home a floral bugle, the emblem of our or- ganization. Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be sent for publication to the Bellefonte WATCHMAN and Centre Democrat and also to his family. GEO. A. BRECHBIEL, GEO, A. McCLOSKEY. Committee.
