JoHN SPEER PoTTER-—John Speer Pot- ter, a native of Centre county, died at Deep River, Iowa, Tuesday evening, Feb- ruary 21st, of a gangrenous affection of the left foot and ankle. From the Hustler of that town we take the following account of his life there: The old gentleman was one of the pioneers and took an active part in establishing our town, having an eye for business, put in a nice line of hardware, during the fall of 1884, which he successfully conducted about two years, he then disposed of it and then conducted the agricultural implement busi- ness for several years. He filled the office of justice of the peace, satisfactorily for sev- eral years, imparting justice impartially to all. On Aug. 24, 1887, our town elected its first officers, and Mr. Potter was elected its first mayor; which he held for eighteen months. During the past few years he did no active business, partially on account of declining years and poor health. *‘Uncle John,” as he was generally known, was a good citizen, respected by all, and everyone whom he was ever ready to assist by a kind act or word. He was a publie spirited man, always ready with his means for avery good purpose, as it was his power to do. He was at the home of M. E. Kime, when he died, and that occurred peacefully while sitting in his chair. A few days before his death he umted with the Presbyterian church of which he had been an attendant and supporter for many years. He died in the faith, trusting Jesus. The funeral occurred in the Presbyterian church, Friday afternoon, in the presence of many friends. Services being conducted by Rev. Swank, assisted by Rev. D. Philips of the M. E. chureh. A. V. Miller, of State College, his broth- er-in-law, went out and brought the body back to Centre county, arriving here Sat- urday. It was taken to the home of Mrs. Margaret Alexander, on Thomas street, where funeral services were held Monday afternoon, and interment was made in the Union cemetery. Deceased was a son of Samuel Potter and was born at Potters Mills, Nov. 4th, 1826. He was a millwright by trade and worked in various parts of the State before going west, in 1866. His surviving sisters and brothers are Mrs. A. V. Miller and William Potter, of State College; Mrs. Margaret Alexander, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Daniel McBride, of Lawrence, Kansas; and James Potter, of Foreston, nw MOTHER AND BABE DIE TOGETHER.-Mrs. Catharine Brown, wife of Frank Brown, whose death was mentioned in last week's WATCHMAN, lived with her husband and family near Blanchard. Her death occurred Tuesday morning, Feb. 21st,at 3 o’clock,and she was 40 years, 7 months and 5 days old. Her babe, Albert Forrest, died on the same day that the spirit of his mother took its flight to the angel world. Mrs. Brown was a consecrated christian woman. The two were tenderly laid in the same casket and buried in the Baptist cemetery at Eagle- ville. Her husband and nine children survive, one son having died about seven years ago.

Burial was made Sunday afternoon. ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THEIR Buy- ING AWAY FroM HoME.—Last week the WATCHMAN made the following inquiry of women who are in the habit of making their purchases by mail order. Will some of the lady readers of the WATCHMAN who are in the habit of purchas- ing their dress and other goods by mail from city merchants, kindly write us what the chief inducement is for this method of shop- ping. Is it more convenient? If so, why? Are the goods of better quality, or are they cheaper. The names of those who reply will, if desired, be kept secret, although the rea- sons are requested for publication. Up to this time a number of replies have been received. The two among them that go most directly to the point that is hinted at in all is the following. We would call the thoughtful attention of our local merchants to them. EpITOR WATCHMAN, Dear Sir:—I am one of the women you referred to last week, as making their purchases by mail orders from city mer- chants, and will briefly as possible give you my reasons for doing so. You ask if it is more convenient? It is, or at least for me it is. I am a housekeeper with four children and but one servant. I do my own sewing and oversee my own house, these duties keep me busy. We take one Philadelphia daily newspaper and two Bellefonte weekly newspapers. I see in the Philadelphia paper an ad- vertisement of anything I want, along with the cost. It takes me possibly ten minutes and costs me four cents to write a note re- questing samples of such goods as I think I need. The samples come promptly with the price. Iselect what I want, write my order, which costs me another four cents and proba- bly ten minutes of time, enclose the money and the work is done. On the other hand, I conclude to do my purchasing from the stores here at home. I take up one of my own town papers to find which one of the merchants are offering the goods I want. To my surprise, I do not find any of them caring enough for patronage to even advertise what they have. Neither of the town papers has had a dry-goods adver- tisement in it for the past six weeks. As a consequence, I am compelled to take the time to dress, trudge down town, hunt around for a store that I think might have what I want and then hunt through it to see if they have it. IfI find it in the first store I come to, I can possibly make my purchase and get back home in two hours from the time I started. If I do not find it in the first store, it might take me an hour or two longer examining others. Here are two and a half hours gone, under the most favorable circumstances shop- ping at home as against twenty minutes for shopping by mail. You do not ask, yet I will answer how this can all be remedied. I prefer, and doubtless nearly every other woman prefers, buying at home when it can be done without too much of a sacrifice. If our town merchants would do as city merchants do—keep us constantly informed as to what they have for sale, or, in other words, if they would advertise so that the public might know just where they could get certain lines of goods, those needing them would buy them. It is neither price nor quality of goods, that induces me to buy by mail order. It is simply because the advertisement shows me exactly where I can get what I want, with- out the bother and time of first hunting up a merchant and then wasting more time in looking for the goods. MRs. Linn St., Bellefonte. MR. EDITOR: I am one of the women you asked last week: “Why do you do your shopping by mail ?” Really, I have never given the question enough thought to know why I do so. I know that it is not because I get cheaper or better goods but find ita great deal more convenient to buy what I want where I know it is to be had. than to spend time in hunting up others who deal in the same kind of goods. If I did not see adver- tisements of such things as I need, I cer- tainly would not bother hunting up city stores from which to buy them. Iam in the habit of looking over the city papers we take, and when I see anything in them that I want it so much easier to write for samples than it is to run all over the town first, look- ing for a store that may possibly have the goods I want, and then spending more time hunting through the store for them. If I knew that dress and other goods. usu- ally purchased by mail, were kept in any of the stores of the town, or if I was certain that such things as I want could be had of them, I could send some one for samples and thus save my time; but I do not have any way of ascertaining. I take three of the town papers and in none of them doI see any advertisements of goods usually pur- chased by mail. In fact, one would scarcely know that there were dealers in Bellefonte, judging from the newspapers. My city papers never fail to have adver- tisements showing me just where I can get what I want, while my town papers never have. Whose fault this is I do not know, possibly if this were different there would be more purchasing at home and less abroad. Very respectfully, MRS, ——— i THE CAKE WALK.—The cake walk and hall of the G. U. O. O. F. which was held in the Arcade hall, last Thursday night, attracted more people than had ever before attended a colored dance in this place and the crowd was more than some of the dancers could stand. After considerable trouble in arranging the conditions of the walk it was decided to make it a military manceuver instead of the real thing. Five couples participated. Sampson Reynolds and Mrs. James Short- er having won the cake, with George Sims and Mrs. Mary Miller close seconds. The dance that followed was very de- lightful for the colored society folks there and it was long after midnight when they said farewell to the hosts, the Odd Iel- lows. : George Freeman, William Lee and James Delige had charge of the affair at the hall and James Shorter and John Williams helped out in making the preliminary ar- rangements. eh ——Ask your grocer for our flour. *‘Finest’’ and ‘‘Fancy Patent’’ brands lead all others.—Pheenix Milling Co.

Mrs. Henry Meyers is making an extended visit to Altoona friends. W. S. Tate has murder in his mind for the fellow who fed his Scotch collie rough on rats. His hogship has lost his grip for old Sol smiles perpetually and the snow drifts are disappearing. A. B. Tauyer spent several days at State College this week looking after a job for his saw and hatchet. Undertaker Heberling is feasting at the St. Elmo while his wife and son are visiting Mrs. Heberling’s mother, Mrs. D. S. Erb, at State College. J. I. McMahon moved his entire stock of merchandise from Charter Oak to Shingle- town where he will do his best to keep the people well supplied.

John Snyder, one of the push along farm- ers on the Branch, has invested in a manure spreader. John is always abreast with the times and keeps well up in machinery. The prodigal son with the wavy hair and curled mustache reported lost by the Centre Democrat, has turned up. Not, however, in time to vote, but no harm befell him while away. Miss Caroline Houseman has gone to make her home with Charley Lytle at State College, and her sister, Miss Lydia, will make her home with her brother, William, up in the Mountain City. Thus another of the old homes is broken up. Jacob M. Kepler returned from the Hot Springs, Ark., on last Friday much improved but still obliged to walk with a cane. He says the cold in the South was almost as se- vere as here and as the thermometer regis- tered 13 below he concluded he would take his rheumatism and cold at the foot of old Tussey mountain. William Bick, of Shingletown, and his family said adieu to their friends on Wednes- day and flitted over the line to Huntingdon county into the old judge McWilliams home- stead. They will engage in raising blooded stock and farming and their going means the loss of a good citizen and a straight out Democrat. one we can illy afford to lose—but then Huntingdon county is badly in need of Democrats. Wm. E. McWilliams and kis wife, Annie Goheen, celebrated their silver wedding on the 25th. Among the number of guests, who were at the original wedding, present at the celebration on Saturday, was John Mattern the groomsmad. The bridesmaid, Mrs. J. M. Goheen, of Tyrone, was not able to be present. Some very handsome presents were received and their family consisting of three sons and four daughters all as- sisted in making the affair memorable. One son is dead. Charley Stam is home from Bellwood, this week, on account of the serious illness of his aged father and uncle, Benjamin, both of whom are nearly eighty-five years old. The latter is critically ill with a complication of diseases. Charley is prospering in the butcher business and the good people of Bell- wood have realized, possibly before this, that he has been at the block before from the amount he knows about it. He also acts as commission agent for produce shipped to him by Pennsvalley farmers. HappPiLY MARRIED.—On Washington’s birthday George Bell, of the Glades, tired of single blessedness, started out to better his condition and with his intended drove to State College, where he halted at the M.
