ET TT A SPR TE Rs Pine Grove Mention. G. Y. Meek, of Tyrone, spent Wednesday night with his cousin William Meek. The Pine Grove Light Co. have a festival billed for Christmas evening in the I. 0. O. F. hall. Miss Mary Gardner Gates, of Altoona, is visiting the old Gardner home in the Glades this week. John Peters, who came from Missouri to join the Modocs, shot the only two deer that were captured by that party. Miss Estella May Heberling and Miss Anna Markle who have been visiting Bell- wood and Altoona friends report having * spent a very pleasant time. Frank Krebs, who is Dr. Brown's boss farmer at Spruce Creek, spent Sunday with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Henry Krebs, of Water street. Mrs. Joseph B. Ard, who has been con- fined to her room for several weeks on ac- count of a general break-down, is, we are glad to say, improving. The Thanksgiving feast served by the Ladies Aid society in the I. O. O. F. hal! was a great success both socially and financially. Forty-three dollars was realized. Grandmother Black, who has been a wel- come visitor at Frank Swabb’s home near town, left Saturday for a short stay with Spruce Creek friends in the home of her childhood. Young George Swabb is packing his grip for a trip to the West. His objective point is northern Illinois where he expects to find a clerical position in a store. We hope to note his success in mercantile circles. Mr. and Mrs. Mason, of Granville Iowa, and Prof. Jacob Rhone, of Allegheny have been visiting their brother-in-law, postmaster J. G. Hess. After spending a few days with Mrs. Wm. Dale, of Pleasant Gap, who is ill, they will take their leave for their far away western home. Mrs. P. Gray Meek came up from Belle fonte on Monday afternoon to spend a few days with her brother, Wm. E. Meek, who seems to be convalescing from his recent very serious illness. His attending physician Dr. Woods, is now encouraged by his condi. tion and thinks it possible that he will soon be able to be about. While Frank McFarlane, of Harris town- ship, was driving his two fine steppers through here on Monday morning, the buggy tongue broke and the team came very near getting away. Mr. Wieland made the nec- essary repairs and Frank continued on his way rejoicing. He was in quest of a girl whom he found in the person of Miss Nettie Witmer. Frank’s anxiety about his house- hold affairs is only a preface to his more serious intentions but he is wise in. taking time by the forelock and securing a cook when he can get her. : On Tuesday Emanuel C. Fye and family removed from their old homeat Pine Hall to State College, where they have a -com- fortable house near the University Inn, Mr. Fye and his family will be greatly missed at the old place for their home was always open to strangers and old acquaintances were wel- comed most cordially. . One by one .the old homes of this community are being abandon- ed and soon the only recollection of them will be the sacred and pleasant.:memories habitants. The College people will find Mr. Fye and his family very kind and affable neighbors. Our sportsmen are home again once more engaged in their several different occupations. They are all greatly invigorated by their month’s ‘outing in the Lealth giving moun- tains and with an abundance of pure air and sparkling water. None of them need want us to believe that they depended on that diet alone, though. Calvin Riley is the champion nimrod of the season. His unerring aim brought down two deer and one bruin which weighed almost four hundred pounds. The Riley crew got four deer and the bear. Judge Riley shot one deer and Samuel Bailey the other one. The Markle crowd from State College which was captained by Jacob M arkle, one of the oldest hunters in the county, captured two deer and one bear. They camped on Laurel run for a week and W. L. Foster, of State College, secured the bear and one deer while driving into the camp. Mes. CATHARINE SMITH. — On Sunday evening just at sunset, Mrs. Catharine Frederick Smith, widow of the late Dr. James R. Smith, passed away at her home on Water street after a short illness from uric poisoning. On Thursday evening she retired in her usual health but about mid- night became very sick and vomited violent- ly. On Friday morning she became un- conscious and remained so until the end came. Funeral services were held on Wed- nesday morning at 10 o’clock by her pastor, Rev. D. H. Hepler. Interment was made in the old cemetery by the side of her husband. Mrs. Smith was born in Hartleton, Snyder county, March 7th, 1831, and early in life she joined the Presbyterian church of which she was a faithful and beloved member until the day of her death. Her marriage to Dr. J. R. Smith took place on Aug. 30th, 1849 and she was the mother of twelve children. She was pre-eminently a home woman and her entire life was spent in looking after the comfort of others and making her home a pleasant and attractive resort for her family and friends. She was a very loving, sym- pathetic mother and her children and many friends are sadly bereaved by her death. Her surviving children are William, of Warriors-mark; Charles, of Bellefonte; Oscar, of State College; Mrs. Adam Murphy, of Ciearfield; Mrs. Charles Schatser and Mrs. Frank Stover, of Altoona and James R., and Frank, of Pine Grove Mills. Clearly Foresaw Death, “Be a Good Girl,” He 8aid to Daughter, I'm @oing to Die.’’ “For POTTSVILLE, Pa., Dec. 1.—‘“Always be a good girl, for you will be alone henceforth as your father is going upstairs to die.” These startling words were the last ever uttered by Washington Glassmire, aged 55, a civil war veteran, of this place. They were addressed to his youngest daughter, Miss Edith, and a few moments later he was found dead, having succumbed to a stroke of apoplexy. : Grassmire bad taken a drive early in the afternoon, and appeared to be in the best of health. It was just after he returned, ‘heaviest ship) 6 from our station, ee that remain in the minds of the older in- |. I pun Howard. John Meese, of Bellefonte, spent Friday in our town. We are glad to say that W. P. Lucas is improving. John Thompson, of Snow Shoe, was in our town this week. Hunters made good use of the little rabbit snow that fell Sunday. If rumors are true there will be a couple | more weddings in our town soon. Wm. Wilhelm, of Buffalo, attended the funeral of Wm. Comerford on last Friday morning. Miss Sadie Beightol, who teaches the pri- mary school of Howard, is quite ill at her home at Romola. Eugene Pletcher and Sherman Hol ter de- parted on Monday for Williamsport, where they expect to attend college. Miss Martha Baney, of Williamsport, spent Thanksgiving with her friend Miss Nellie Burns, at the Syracuse. Did you see the smile on Dr. Kurtz's face ? It is all on account of a baby boy arriving at his house on last Friday morning. Mrs. Louise Comerford and Mrs. William Comerford departed for Pittsburg on Tues- day, where they will spend the winter. Miss Anna Muffly, Miss Mary Shull, and Miss Martha Jaut, State Normal students, spent Thanksgiving at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Mufily. The members of the Evangelical church held a donation on last Friday evening for the benefit of their pastor, Rev. I. N. Bair. He was presented with many useful gifts and and everybody reported having had a good time. : Spring Mulls. Quite a respectable snow storm in this valley on Sunday last. It looked like win- ter. Wm. Ruhl, proprietor of the livery stables here, has now quite a neat office opposite the hotel. 3 . : ’ All our sick ‘are reported to be on the mend. Some of ‘the cases were of a very serious character. The nimrods of this village appear to meet with indifferent success in their hunting expeditions. A .few rabbits seems to bz about. the only trophy, and frequently—nothing. Butchering is now in full force. As yetI have heard of po extraordinary avoirdupois in porkers. Everyone seems to be waiting to hear the weight of one, to give them a chance of going a trifle better. We ave all waiting patiently for the $6,000 bridge to be thrown across Sinking creek. As the iron and steel frames were cut for the bridge about the. time the commissioners countermanded their $1600 order, there should be no further delay, There has been foolery enough in this whole business. Merchant O. T. Corman isa heavy operator in all kinds of produce. His operations in apples and potatoes this season have been. very extensive, shipping from three to five: ‘car loads a week. He informed me a day or two since, that he was, very short in his orders for beef hides, and would buy all that was offered, and would pay 6 cents per 1b. cash or 7 cents in trade. " Mr. Corman is the i =i 3 Fels ¢ 3 aOR It C. P, Long's store was entered one night last week by burglars, but they were evi- dently disturbed, as nothing of any particu- lar value was disturbed. They intended, too, to enter the postoffice and "had put out the light in front of the building which is kept burning all night. This was discovered by P. M. Krape,whose residence is just across the lawn, when he immediately threw a light on the postoffice building and then went out to investigate and give them a warm reception, but the birds had flown and dis- appeared in the darkness.’ Real Estate ‘Transfers.
