L. Gramley, for $4,005. C. L. Gramley happened to he away- from home and did not return until next day. His father offered squire Carlin, the agent, a note for the amount until the purchaser should return and pay the cash, but the squire, thinking to save the revenue stamps on such an instrument, suggested that it would be satisfactory to leave the payment until next day. When C. L. returned he tendered the check, which was accepted but meanwhile the women decided they hadn’t received enough for their property and sold it, themselves, to J. H. Reifsnyder at a slight advance and executed a deed in his favor. As the farm is 135 acres in area and a good one the two purchasers are now going to law to see which one is the right- ful owner. A FAMILY REUNION.—The comfortable home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Lauck, of near State College, was the scene of a very unique family reunion on Saturday, Jan. 21st. It was in the nature of a -surprise party. The homestead was filled with children, grand children. neighbors and friends to the number of sixty or more. The day was spent in social amusements and reminiscences until the hour of noon when the guests were invited to the dining room, where a sumptuous feast was prepar- ed. The large table fairly groaned under its heavy load of good things. Certainly the event will not soon be forgotten, for all enjoyed themselves until late in the even- ing. In addition to two sons, Adam and Wil- liam and their families and neighbors and friends there were present from a distance the following : D. F. Lauck, H. J. Mehaf- fey and J. W. Benner and their families, -of Altoona, Pa.; W. O. Dougherty and J. H. Williams and their families, of Oak Hall, Pa.; Wm. Heberling and family of Scotia. Mr. and Mrs. Lauck received many valuable and useful presents. ——You ought to take the WATCHMAN. WY Howards ool rie iyo} Sleigh bells could be heard on Wednesday. J. B.

F. Fortney and Wm. Gray, attorneys of Bellefonte, paid Howard a visit on last Thursday. The Solomon Candy estate property was sold by the administrators on last Saturday. It was bought by Wm. P. Lucas for $850. The harness making is so brisk that Thos. Pletcher has been forced to hire. H. A. Tolhelm, of Williamsport, to aid him in his work. Literary society will be held to-night. The question, resolved: ‘‘That country life is preferable to city life’’ will be fully discussed in debate, and the “News” will again make its appearance, edited by Maud Sechrist. Spring Mills. Clayton Corman and Lloyd Bartges, of Co- burn, were up this way on Sunday last and dined with Miss Anna Corman. George Ream, residing at Green. Grove, and a well known citizen formerly of our village, died rather suddenly on , Sunday evening last. ¥ {en ia The moderate weather for the last day or two, has played havoc with the snow, there is scarcely enough left down this valley to make an ordinary snow ball. C. C. Bartges, printer, at present is acting as clerk in the store of G. H. Long during the illness of Harvey Rachau. Mr. Bartges is an old hand in the ‘business, having served an apprenticeship behind the counter for several years. : Sab any Politics are gradually cropping out. Can- didates are here, there,and soon will be every where, sounding their friends and wanting an ‘‘opinion’’ as to the propriety of announc- ing themselves for some fat office—with large emoluments and little to do. Some of our people think they let the golden opportunity slip by in not securing their ice during the recent cold snap, and ap- prehend that they are “left.” Don’t fret gentlemen, February is frequently a month of ice and snow—the ice crop is not over yet. We have quite a number of visitors in our village at the present time, among them are Mr. Steely and wife, of Lewistown; John Kennelley and wife, of Lewistown; Mrs. W. Donachy and son, of Lewisburg; J. M. Schoch, of Philadelphia; J. C. Collins, of Albany, N. Y., and several others. Our popular landlord, D. H. Ruhl, and, by the way, Republican candidate for the nomi- nation for sheriff, has been ill for the last week or ten days -with the prevailing malady .His son Edwin, who has been east on a business trip returned home similarly afflicted. Nearly everyone in this neighbor- hood is coughing and sneezing. Of course # much of it is the result of grip while consid- erable is from ordinary colds. Andrew Corman-and Jefferson Heckman are our present supervisors and can- didates for renomination. No ‘doubt we have had supervisors equally as good, but none superior. While placeing our roads in a most excellent condition — never better, on a tax of three and one-half mills, these gentlemen have saved the tax- payers ever seven hundred dollars, simply by their thorough knowledge of road build- ing and a sound judgment where and how to economize without impairing any of the work. And then, too, they gave everyone an opportunity to work out their taxes if they so desired. Theseare considera- tions well worth remembering at the caucus on Saturday next. We know how efficient our present supervisors have been, would it not be wisdom to let well enough alone? Pine Grove Mention. Mother earth is again covered with a pall of white.

The lad, who had his eye put out with ex- plosives at Harvey Bowersox’s, has recovered sufficiently to attend school. But poor boy, his experience should be a warning to others. Joseph Cox, a member of Co. K, 125th Reg. P. Vol., died at the home of his son-in-law, Owen Lykens, at Scotia on Thursday, the 19th, aged 75 years and five months. He was buried Saturday morning in Gray’s bury- ing ground. . A family reunion was held, last Saturday, at the home of Peter Louck, near Pine Hall, at which sixty children, grand children and near neighbors were present. A fine dinner was served and the afternoon pleasantly spent in social conversation. Mr. and Mrs. C.J. Norris are mourning the death of their little boy, who died of pneumonia, last Monday, at their Shingle- town home. Several weeks ago they moved from Col. Reynolds’ Rock View farm and the child took a Lcavy cold which resulted in its death. THE STORMSTOWN BANQUET. — On last Saturday evening, the Odd Fellows, of Stormstown, celebrated their 13th anniver- sary with asplendid banquet in the G. A. R. hall. Mrs. John Ward and Mrs. Geo. Loner with several assistants served a splendid sup- per and J. H. Léver was master of ceremo- nies. John Hastings played several fine se- lections on the organ and mirth and good fellowship reigned supreme. The town of Stormstown ‘lias risén phenix like twice from destructive fires and time and again has over come disasters most discouriiging buti it now boasts ofsubstantidt Buildings'and a prosper- ous: active’ tradév The I. O. O. F. lodge is there to:stay it;has:a number of new appli- cants and financially it is one of the solid ones of the county. A few days ago David Reed, of Culver, Kan., in company with cx-commissioner J. C. Henderson, tarried in town for a short time on their way to Spruce Creek to visit John Reed. Twenty-three years ago Mr. Reed was a regular attendant of the Pennsvalley lodge, I. 0. 0. F., and upon inquiring for the Ards, Dunlops, Erbs and Smiths found that they had nearly all passed into the great beyond. When he went West he carried with him his membership but because there was a divis- ion in the Salina lodge, at the time, he did not identify himself with the order. Mr. Reed looks little older for his work and en- ergy which have brought him two fine farms with full and ‘plenty. Next season he pre- dicts his crops will be a failure as the worms affected the wheat in the ground. His daughter Grace has been visiting relatives in Buffalo Run since last fall and they will re- turn to their home in a few days. DEATH oF ‘AM08 CLEMSON.—On Friday, the 20th, Amos Clemson, one of the most respected and estimable citizens of this com- munity, died at his home in Baileyville after a long illness with heart disease. Mr. Clem- son was widely and favorably known throughout the whole valley and no man was more revered or loved. Gentle and affable in mannér, kind and courteous to everyone and with the greatest sense: of honor he was indeed a man of the noblest type. He was born in Milton, June 9th, 1823; and came to this county when quite young. After learning blacksmithing with Henry Goss he succeeded his former employer and carried on ‘the:businhess for 18 years, ’til he sold out ‘to S. P. Irvin: and engaged in’ the mercantile business with Goheen and Bros. and later with S. P. Irvin. But in the last: few years he retired from business and lived quietly without the cares of the business world. On January 24th, 1849, he was mar- ried to Lydia Rider, of Gatesburg, who died in Sept., 1890, 4nd "to’ then were born two daughters aild’ five sons. Jonathan and David, who died young, Ellen; Mrs. W. Dale, who died a year ago, Clark C., of Yellow Springs, Frank H., superintendent of the Scotia mines, Daniel, one of the board of managers of the Carnegie Steel company, at Pittsburg, and Emma, at, home. Mr. Clemson was a great Bible scholar and his religion was part of himself. No to be laid aside at his pleasure and will but to be a help and a comfort to everyone in néed and to so radiate about him that every one’s way was -brightened and cheered by him. For fifty years he .was superintendent of the Gatesburg Sabbath . school and in that time missed but two Sundays. Walking the dis- tance of three miles every Sabbath,until three years ago when he resigned and his scholars held the renuion mentioned in this column. '| He was one of the ruling elders in the Gates- burg Lutheran church for forty years, but a few years ago he connected himself with the Spruce Creek Presbyterian church and his former pastor, Rev. J. C. Kelley, assisted by the Rev. Aikens conducted the funeral ser- vices on Sunday afternoon. Interment was made in the Gatesburg burying ground by the side of his wife. Centre Hall. 1" John Rishel, son of Squire Rishel of Farm- er’s Mills has purchased the cream route of Ed. Nearhoof. Forest Ocker, clerk at Wolf and Crawford’s store, is going to housekeeping in the Dinges’ property next month. D. A. Boozer has added a new man, How- ard Fetterhoof, to his saddlery in anticipa- tion of a good spring trade. ’ While attending court this week John Dauberman left his meat market and other business in charge of S. K. Neply. Postmaster G. W. Boal. Rev. J. M. Rearick, John L. Lee, J. D. Murray, Mrs. James C. Boop are all suffering with the grip. The Wolfs are still an afflicted family. Mr. Wolf is well up in years and for the first time since childhood is confined to bed but Mrs. J. W. Wolf is slowly improving. John Rishel, of Farmers Mills, and Miss Carrie Gingerich were married at the Luth- eran parsonage by Rev. J. M. Rearick. Mr. and Mrs. Rishel will go to farming on a small farm near Farmers Mills. The musical convention billed for Feb. 6th will be under the auspices of the Reformed church. There may not be a hot time in this old town that week but those musically inclined will find a feast of good things wait- ing them. W. W. Boob’s new engine now whistles regularly, after its brief vacation, which means hat wheels are being turned out and ship- ped to all parts of the country. The foundry is also running on full time and Centre Hall corn planters are in demand in every market. Rev. Moyer, of Altoona, is assisting Rev. Eisenberg in a series of meeting which he is conducting. Rev. Moyer is a forcible and eloquent speaker and his sermons are pointed and practical. Communion will be admin- istered Sunday morning, preparatory services Saturday a. m. Miller Goodhart has purchased the Sandoe property and will erect a modern stable there soon. Dr. G.W. Hosterman is having the lam- ber for his new residence hauled here from Woodward and ex-sheriff Spangler will erect a large straw and manure shed in addition to his already large barn and so the improve- y ments go on. Veterinary surgeon John Rider is housed up with the grip and heart trouble. Dr. Rider is an ex-soldier with a record of which he is not ashamed. At the battle of Cold Harbor a rebel got a good aim at him and he carries the lead, which constantly annoys him, in his head to-day. The shot was not from the rear but entered the eye and destroyed the Sight. The Democratic caucus will be held Satur- day evening in the council room. The re- tiring councilmen are Clement Luse, Dr. John Rider and C. F.Deininger. It is probable that the first two will be renominated, on account of the good services rendered the citizens in making borough water a reality. The last named is not a resident, which will necessi- tate a new man. Messrs. W. W. Boob, W. 0. Rearick and E. M. Hewitt's terms expire school directors. The latter was appoint- ed to fill out the unexpired term of Dr. J.'F. Alexander; resigned.” The only eandidates | inthe: field to day are ‘Messrs: Harry 'Swabh and Capt. Runkle, who are sparring for the fees due the constable for the next three years. An auditor to fill the vacancy caused by the death of J. W. Henney, with the usual election officers composes the work to be done by the caucus. Chairman Dauber- man will see that these places are filled in accordance to the Democratic usages, as he is a hustler in politids. The Democratic cau- cus, of Potter township, meets at Centre Hill Saturday afternoon. There are any amount of candidates seeking the nomination for the various offices. The contests will be for constable, road supervisors and school direct- Ors. Last Tuesday, when Harvey Horner, the mail carrier from Centre Hall to Potter's Mills, came into town he had his left hand bound up in a kerchief for this reason. He ] had overtaken a lad by the name of Zerbe, of Spring Mills, and out of the goodness of his heart had stopped and invited him to ride. The boy hurriedly put his foot on the wheel to get in when a revolver he was holding in his hand in some manner struck the wheel and was discharged. The bullet entered the palm of Harvey’s hand, took a diagonal course and lodged underneath the outer skin of the back of his hand, from which he dis- lodged it with his knife. The mail cart did not stop for the operation was performed on, the way and neither did Zerbe for at the rate he started to run he is likely going yet. When the Bellefonte correspondent sends: this to the Philadelphia dailies, two or three weeks after this, it will ‘likely read that “Near Bellefonte a stage coach was held up by a robber; the driver fatally. shot; passen- gers just returning from the Klondike were robbed of gold in dust and nuggets and the robber is now hiding in Penn’s Cave, near by, where rises the spring forming the head waters of the Amazon river.” This would’ be about as correct as those fabulous storiés® usually are, Rebersburg. * Another cold wave has struck us.” How long will it last? ? ps . Homer Kerstetter, of Sugarvalley, and Etna Hartman, of this place, were married last: Sabbath evening, by Rev. Stover, at the parsonage. ! 4 in ' The changeable weather of the last. few weeks has been productive of a great deal of sickness. Among those who are seriously sick are Jos. K. Moyer, Miss Blanche Smull, Mrs. J. C. Morris and F. A. Auman. George Nearhood, son of our popular land- lord, Abe Nearhood, left for Kaneville, T11., last Tuesday. He intends to visit his friends out West and if able to obtain employment will make that country his home. Next Saturday the primaries for the nom- ination of men for the various township offices will be held. ‘As usual there is no scarcity of candidates. Let all voters turn out. to see that only the best men are chosen. Wm. Smull, who has been east visiting his parents and friends has returned to his home in Stephenson county. Ill. Mr. Smull left this place seven years ago. He is now one of the prosperous farmers of his adopted State. William Emerick made a trip to Horse- heads, N.Y., last week, and was fortunate in seeuring a position as butter and cheese maker in one of the creameries at that place. He will move his family there in March. May success attend him. : Paul Hackman, youngest son of our towns- man, William Hackman, had the misfortune of stepping on a pin last Wednesday morning. The pin penetrated the bone and stuck fast. The doctor, not being at home, Mrs. Hack- man finally succeeded in drawing it from the foot with: her teeth. The local teachers institute at this place, last Friday evening, was well attended. Rev. George delivered the address of welcome in his usual eloquent and humorous manner, making everybody feel welcome and at home. He was followed by Prof. Wolfe, of Spring Mills, who delivered an address on ‘The Good, the True and the Beautiful. He was followed by Supt. Gramley, who gave a talk on ‘School Discipline.” Both Prof. Wolf’s and Supt. Gramley’s addresses were highly instructive. The Saturday’s sessions were, also well attended and the discus- sions lively and beneficial. Announcements.
