——Dr. J. B. Kreider, who was born in the vicinity of Millheim Feb. 3rd, 1840, died in the state hospital at Toledo, Ohio, on last Friday. He first practiced medi- cine in Millheim and before moving to Ohio he married Georgia M. Stover, of Boalsburg, who bore him two children, Dr. S. G. Kreider, of Lena, Ill., and Mrs. W. I. Buswell, of Elyria, Ohio. He prac- ticed in Poplar and Bucyrus until shattered health brought on softening of the brain and hisdeath. He was buried at Bucyrus Sa ad Seven turkeys were stolen from the coop of Wallace Kreider, at Wolf’s Store, The thieves left a erutch behind recently them. Pine Grove Mention. A Merry Christmas to all. Many changes will be made in this section next spring. John Gilliland Miller is home from the Carlisle law school for his Christmas vaca- tion. Mrs. Sarah Gardner, of Rock Springs, spent several days this week with her mother on Main street. Farmer H. C. Shuey is arranging to move in the spring from the old Robert Meek farm, at Fairbrook, to Tyrone. Andrew Jackson Tate moved into the W. J. Meyers house, on Main street, Monday. It was recently vacated by J. B. Heberling. James Stevens, one of Loveville’s repre- sentative men, and his wife were guests at the parsonage the beginning of the week. Mrs. Maggie Meek has gone to Altoona to enjoy the holidays with her children. They have never had a Christmas without her,con- sequently the pleasure is mutual. Our old friend Fred Decker has sold his interest in the old homestead on the Branch. Mr. Charles Reifsnyder is the buyer but will not occupy it until the spring of 1901. Our jolly huxter Blair Gates is about to dispose of his huckster outfit and quit the road. Mr. Snyder, of Tyrone will take his business and continue his regular rounds. Jacob Krider is laid up with a dislocated knee cap caused by a horse kicking him. He is rather unlucky. Last fall a horse fell on one of his legs and by it he was kept indoors most of the winter. Penns valley lodge, number 276 I. O. O. F. at this place will hold their annual banquet on Wednesday evening, the 27th. The com- mittee who have the matter in charge expect tomake it a great affair. Reuben Tressler, our clever miller spent Sunday out of town with his brother-in-law, D. L. Miller, where not only relatives, but everyone, is accorded a hearty welcome, and a good square meal. Mrs. Frank Wieland is up from Linden Hall helping nurse her father, J. H. Miller, of Rock Springs, who is quite ill with appen- dicitis. His attending physician, Dr. Hous- er, thinks that the danger line is past and that he is on a fair way to recovery. The infant child of Newton Neidigh died on last Thursday, and was laid to rest by the side of its mother in the Pine Hall cemetery, on the afternoon of the 16th. When its mother died, two weeks ago, Mrs. -Adam Krumrine kindly took the babe, buta few days old, to raise, but its little life was des- tined to be of short duration, for it soon sick- ened and died. John and Sue Meck, who drove over from Buffalo Run, last Thursday evening, to at- tend the musical convention at Pennsylvania Furnace, lost their way completely and although they did have the snow storm for an excuse for being late we would suggest that old Santa Claus give them a good map of the county near about their own home or a plainly marked compass. On Thursday evening, the 14th, William Brown, eldest son of A. M. Brown, the lum- ber king, and Miss Bird, youngest daughter of Wm. A. Irvin, of Pennsylvania Furnace, were married at the parsonage, by the Rev. Mr. Love. The affair was rather a surprise as no previous annonucement had been made. The young people are well and favorably known and the WATCHMAN wishes them suc- cess and happiness in their new home on Gates avenue, which hasbeen fitted up hand- somely for their occupancy. John McGinley and his bride, Miss Minnie Martz, who were married in Tyrone last week by Dr. Frysinger, spent part their honeymoon here with the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carlus H. Martz, on Water street, before departing for their new home in Cleveland, O. There the groom is engaged DANIEL FILLMORE RIDER— Died at his home near Gatesburg on the afternoon of the 14th, after an illness of almost two months with typhoid fever, although the direct cause of his death was an abscess of the bowels from which he suffered extremely. He was the oldest son of the late J. G. Rider and was born Nov. 8th, 1859. He was twice married, the first time to S. J. Ellenberger, who died eight years ago. Two years later he married Laura Jane Gates who with their three small children mourn his death: Also surviving bim are his mother, his sister, Mrs. Isaac Harpster of Gatesburg, and his brothers, Ed- ward, of Pittsburg, Clark and William, of Nebraska, and Albert on the old homestead. At the funeral on the morning of the 16th, his neighbors concurred in saying we have lost one of our best citizens, an excellent church worker and a man of irreproachable character. About six years ago he purchased the old Christopher Gates farm adjoining his brother’s farm and by his industry and management built it up to be one of the best farms of the section. He was ever ready to give his means and time to the church and needy and from boyhood belonged to the Lutheran church at Gatesburg. He was buried by the side of his father in the Gates- burg cemetery with Rev. Aikens officiating. Centre Hall. Al Homan, of near the Old Fort, who had been West for near two years is home. He spent the past season in Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. John Kennedy, of Johns- town, are here taking care of Mrs. Martha Odenkirk who has been seriously ill for some time. Perry Luse and wife paid George Spayd, an uncle of Mrs. Luse, a visit last week. Mr. Spayd lives near Madisonburg and is 85 years old, but in good health. Joseph Spicher’s horse, hitched to a road cart ran away Saturday afternoon, throwing Mr. Spicher from the cart, but did not do him any injury. The accident occurred at the station. George Michael, who at present occupies the McNitt farm west of town, was fortunate in leasing the farm owned by John Wolf, at Sprucetown, and will move there in the spring. E. M. Huyett is contemplating setting out a large apple orchard on his Seven Mountain farm. The location is ideal for an apple orchard and in time the investment will prove profitable. Saying that shoe factory was driven away from Centre Hall simply because the citizens refused to donate the necessary ground is a bigger one than any conceivable fish story in season. John Keller, at present a student at the Seminary at Lancaster, will preach at St. John’s at 10 a. m. and Spring Mills at 2 p. m. Sunday next, thus giving a service at Christmas time for the Reforms. O. F. Mader and family on Saturday will go to Mifflinburg to spend Christmas at his former home. Mader is the boss moulder at the foundry and his good work has enabled him to hold the position for several years. Samuel Rowe, who is agent for a large con- cern manufacturing gasoline engines, comes to the front and. says that if any industry established here is, in need of power he. will furnish it at cost. - Very good, and the offer will be taken. The house recently vacated by Dr. G. W. Hosterman, who moved to his new home, has been put into condition to accommodate two families. Mrs. Wm. Horner moved into one part a short time ago, and the other day Jared Mowery occupied the other. Mr. Mowery is engaged in the foundry, building cornplanters, and will now be near his work. Dr. J. F. Alexander will start for Los Angeles next Wednesday where he will re- main for an indefinite period. His main ob- ject in going to the Pacific coast is to regain his health. The doctor was located at that point for a period of three or four years here- tofore, and knows just how beneficial the climate is. Safe journey and the accomplish- ment of his end in view is the wish of all. Rev. G. B. Kirschner, of Fayette, N. Y., will, during next week, preach to the various congregations of the Reformed charge. The appointments cannot be filled on Sabbath, owing to the fact that Rev. Kirschner is un- able to leave his field of labor on that day. Services will therefore be held at Tussey- ville at 2 p. m. on Tuesday, and at 7 o’clock of the same day at the Union; Spring Mills, Wednesday evening ; and Thursday evening at Centre Hall. It is reported that Edward Stump, living BUSINESS FACTS FOR CHRISTMAS BUYERS. ee If every man got every cent he earned and every man earned every cent he got there would be a different distribution of incomes. If every man paid for what he got and every man got what he paid for, there would be a different distribution of trade. If these propositions are correct the question of price would govern, and would be the sole basis of all mercantile transactions. Quality and price would be so completely merged that a child could safely buy a diamond ring, or a gold watch from any dealer at any time and at any place. But these conditions unfortunately, do not exist, consequently you see advertised and have watches offered you at prices below the melting value of the gold alone, to say nothing for the work of making the case and the cost of making the movement. You see and hear of diamond rings at a price which is ridiculous when you recall the fact that a glazier diamond in the rough, uncut and unpolished, of thesame size is worth more. The answer to this is simple and that is a glazier diamond must be a diamond and nothing else or it won’t cut glass. We could quote you prices on honest goods from twenty-five cents up to a hundred dollars, but they would mean little to you without an inspection of articles referred to. Although every thing in our line has advanced from one-fifth to one-third yet we haven’t raised the price on a single article in our stock in fact we are lower in some instances than last season on account of buying in large quantities and placing our orders last summer. Ebony goods are entirely new to many people and are made in many dif- ferent ways, some are made of Imitation. EBoNY—some are made with a thin back of ebony glued on imitation ebony and comes apart when put in water. Some brushes are made with inferior bris- tles or bristles mixed with quills or wood fiber, the best are made of Genuine black African ebony, solid backs and Russian Bristles. This is our leading kind. It will not turn white and the bristles will not come out after coming in con- tact with water. In our estimation there is only one reliable fountain pen made and that is the Parker Jointless, its the Pen used in signing the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain. Some say it wasn’t a good treaty for the United States and blame it on the pen, this is hardly fair although we must confess that if they had used one of the other kind that won’t write when most needed, things might have been different. But there are lots of people who blame the Parker pen for all the trouble we are having arising out of that treaty. Come in and let us tell you other facts hefore you make your Christmas purchases. Bellefonte, Pa. F. P. BLAIR & CO. near Aaronsburg in the spring. It is also said that that gentleman has an offer of fifty- four dollars per acre for the farm, which con- tains about one hundred and fifty acres. The farm is known as the Keller farm and in 1875 was purchased by David Krape for the neat sum of $18,000. The tract then con- tained 164 acres. Nine or ten years ago the farm was sold at sheriff’s sale to Mrs. Stump for $8,000 subject to a dower of $6,000 retained by the widow Keller, who died in early spring. You can figure the depreciation in value. Constable Philip Franck will move from the old Stone Mill to the farm of W. A. Kerr, below Centre Hill. Mr. Kerr having pur- chased the Strohm homestead at Centre Hill will occupy that place and engage in the mer- cantile business. Speaking of constable Franck, brings to the writer’s mind a little incident that occurred over in Swartz’s store at Tusseyville some time go. A number of farmers and others had congregated, as is their custom, to spend the evening in the store and conversation was moving along in the usual channel. The familiar topics had been discussed and: there was a brief period of quiet, when a stranger spoke up and apologized for asking the business followed by one of the number: ‘I am a farmer,” was the reply, and the balance of the conver- sation took this trend : ‘Does farming pay in this section ?” ‘Not by a dam site!’ was the answer. He was puzzled, but pushing his query, turned to another gentleman, who happened to be constable Franck, he asked : “What has been your experience ?’ ‘‘Well,” was replied, “farming a dam site has paid me when put to potatoes, but it takes a dam site to make farming pay.” The inquisition went outside, and after slamming the door was heard to say that ‘‘everybody in there must be a damn farmer but Swartz.
