SL A dark yellow dog came to J. C. Struble’s residence on the old H. M. Meek farm sev- eral weeks ago. The dog is evidently lost and the owner is requested to come after him. D. A. Grove circulated among the farmers of this section this week buying a car load of dollar wheat and a car load of horses for the eastern market. One night last week the beautiful old home of D. G. Meek at Fairbrook came very near going up in flames. Frank Fry is the tenant and fortunately was sleeping in the northeast bed room. Soon after retiring Mrs. Fry noticing the smell of smoke, got up to investigate and discovered the mantle and all of the wood-work back of the stove in the kitchen in a blaze. The immediate applica- tion of plenty of water prevented the fire from doing any more damage and it was most fortunate that it was discovered when it was for the house would surely have been destroyed. It was built more than fifty yeafs ago hy George W. Meek and is one of the most substantial and comfortable houses in the valley in addition to the sentiment that is connected with it. D. G. Meek has most of his furniture stored there pending the completion of his new home at State College, and of course Mr. Fry would have lost his household belongings too. HARVEY B.

A Mip-WINTER WEDDING—On Thursday, the 18th, the home of J. W. Sunday in the Glades was beautifully decorated for the oc- casion of the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth, and Mr. John E. McWilliams, of Fairbrook. Just at 12 o'clock Mrs. M. J. Watt began the wedding march which was a signal . for the appearance of the wedding party. Rev. Edgar Heckman, of the Metho- dist Episcopal church, pronounced the cere- mony and the bride and groom were attend- ed by Miss Sadie Keichline,as maid of honor, and Mr. Harry Sunday, a brother of the bride, as best man.

Alexander of Allison’s flouring mill, has been on the sick list for several days. -Homer Zerby, quite an active young man who has assisted in the postoffice here since last summer, has in a manner, retired from the department. Hall Hering in driving over the railroad track on Saturday last with a sled load of poles, stuck fast, and seeing the east bound train coming down the road, he hastily un- hitched his team, and he had no sooner done so, when the train struck the sled scattering the poles in all directions, of course smash- ing the sled and damaging one of the coaches. It might have been a very serious wreck. Spring Mills castle K. G. E. held their annual banquet in their spacious hall on Saturday evening last, and it proved a very elegant and delightful entertainment. The hall was brilliantly illuminated, giving the interior decorations a beautiful and attractive appearance. The tables were artistically arranged and set with exquisite taste and judgment, evidently the work of skillfal and able hands. All the tables were furnish- ed with choice dainties and eatables of a substantial and inviting character. It wasa feast fit for the gods. During the evening Prof. Ward Gramley, of the Boalsburg Academr, and J. A. Greno- ble Esq., of our village delivered short and lively addresses. The sparkling dialogue entitled ‘The Reason Why” between Lula and Maud, daughters of W. P. Alexander, was rendered in a very pleasing and credit- able manner. The ‘‘Spelling Bee’’ with the versatile John Smith as pedagogue, was a very amusing school scene, and was received with shouts of laughter. The music and singing was of a high order of excellence. Misses May Smith and Ida Condo, two of our handsome and accomplished young ladies, sang several pieces in a very charming man- ner. Owing” to the indisposition of Mrs. Maggie Ruhl, several popular songs were necessarily omitted. C. C. Bartges, quite an expert musician, played and sang a number of pieces in his usual inimitable style. The Arabian clan, arrayed in costumes of a grotesque character, paraded around the hall creating considerable merriment. The ‘Arabian’ is an off degree, and is frequent- ly enacted for amusement during the session of the castle. The weather on Saturday evening was clear and cold, and about two hundred were present, quite a number from a distance. Towards midnight all retired to their respective homes, expressing them- selves as having been very agreeable and de- lightfully entertained by the members of Spring Mills castle, No. 169, Knights of the Golden Eagle. ol ; : Spring Mills castle is in a highly flourish- ing condition, is numerically and financially strong, and among its members are some of our most intelligent and influential citizens.

E. K. Smith made a trip to Philadelphia the forepart of last week to close a contract, with the Home Correspondence School, of Sprinfield, Mass, as agent for this part of the State. Notwithstanding the cold weather the elec- tion was very well attended, so much so that the election board had to call on the com- missioners for more tickets as the supply sent would not hold out.
