CENTRE COUNTY VETERAN'S PICNIC.
—The thirty-first annual picnic of the
Centre County Veteran olub was held at
Heola park on Saturday. The day was an
ideal one and the attendance was good,
though not nearly so large as the crowd
that used fo gather from all parts of the
county in former years to astend this an-
nual reunion—-one fact more than any
other that tells the story of just how fast
the ranks of these battle-scarred veterans
are being thinned out. But even as they
| went forth heroes in the fratricidal strife of
the early sixties they now courageously
face the deploring decimation of their num-
ber and when they meet together year after
year it is with the same old-time geniality
pi hospitality that has always characteriz-
ed these gatherings.
‘The Veteran’s reunion is held mainly for
the purpose of fostering the aasociation and
for social intercourse and general good
cheer. There is no pretense to a program
of amusements for the entertainment of the
crowd. The one diversion, therefore, at
Saturday’s gathering was the musio, which
was furnished by the State College and
Zion bands; and they were not at all stingy
with their wind, either.
The first meeting of the association was
held in the main pavilion at 11 o’clock in
the morning. Gen. Beaver, president of
the club, called the meeting to order and
appointed Col. Austin Curtin, M. M.
Musser, Henry Heaton, T. E. Royer, Wm.
Emenhizer and P. H. Haupt a committee
on the election of officers, and Hiram
Thompson, W. S. Tate, S. B. Miller,
H. Fry and George Young a committee on
the place of meeting next year.
George M. Boal, treasurer, reported that
the club had a balance to its credit of $1,100
in the treasury and on motion it was voted
to make the association’s contribution to
the soldier’s monument fund $1,200. Gen.
Beaver told just how far along the work on
the monnment was and the probable time
of its dedication as the middle of November.
He farther stated that the monument would
contain the names of about 3,500 Centre
county soldiers.
Following the .meeting in the morning
came the dinner and that was the time
when all the old soldiers appeared as at
dress parade, at their best ; for you all
know it there is anything a hattle-scaried
veteran loves if is to make a charge ona
full basket of good things to eat. And
they are not anyways ashamed of the fact,
either.
At 1 o’clock there was a meeting of repre-
sentatives of the Forty-fifth regimens, held
for the purpose of consulting regarding the
gathering of data for the publication of a
regimental history.
Then came the general speech-making
meeting with Gen. Beaver presiding. The
firs man introduced and the principal
speaker of the day was J udge Reese G.
Richards, of Steubenville, Ohio. Judge
Richards was captain of company G, 45th
regiment, Penna. Vols. Since the war he
bas been Lieutenant Governor of Ohio and
is now a district court judge. His address
was not only one of historical interest but
an eloquent one as well. Brief talks were
also wade by Joel A. Herr, president of the
Clinton county veteran’s association; Dr.
L. M. Holloway and A. A. Hubert, also of
Clinton county; Col. J. L. Spangler, Rev.
Dr. H. C. Holloway, of this place; Col.
John A. Daley and others. Mr. Hubert,
of Lock Haven, who claims to be the
youngest soldier who enlisted in she Civil
war, also read an appropriate patriotic
poem.
The committee on election reported th®
following officers for the ensuing year:
President, Gen. James A. Beaver; vioe
presidents, W. H. Fry and Wm. C. Patter-
gon: secretary, W. H. Musser; assistant
. B. Miller; tressuror, George
M. Boal. ‘By a vote of 45 to 35 Hunter’s
park was selecte as the place for holding ¢
the annual reunion next year.
FELL OuT THE WINDOW—MTr. J. Fearon
Mann, of Lewistown, well known to Cen-
tre conntians from having been a resident
of Bellefonte most of his life, fell out of a
second story window of his home, at 3
0 "clock Tuesday morning of last week, and
sustained serious and painful injuries. Mr,
Mann has not been in good health for some
time and of late has been quite ill. Taes-
day ‘morning he got up and went to the
window, evidently to ges fresh air and in
some way lost bis balance and tumbled ous.
His fall was broken somewhat by striking |
one of the shutters of the first story win-
dow, As it was, however, the flesh on his
leg was badly torn and bruised while,he |
ned a number of other cuts on varions
tions of his head and body,though fortu-
atgly no bones were broken and there were
lps internal injuries. He is now
gettin g along as well as can he expected

—Andrew Knisely, of Shamokin, spent a eouple
days in Bellefonte this week.
—Robert F. Hunter returned, on Wednesday,
from a week's business trip to Phila.; this time
coming home on the train.
—George Keichline, of Pine Grove Mills, was in
town on Saturday attending to alittle business
and visiting his brothers, John and Peter.
—Harry F. McManaway, that staunch young
Democratic worker from Wolf's Store, spent yes.
terday in Bellefonte on a brief trip of business
and pleasure combined.
—Miss McPherson, of Gettysburg, whose en-
gagement to Dr. David Dale was recently
announced, is visiting at the home of Dr. Dale’s
parents in Lemont and spent {yesterday as the
guest of Mr. and Mrs. James Harris.
—Mr. and Mrs. John G. Carson, of Buffalo Run,
were Bellefonte visitors on Friday and we were
very pleased to have Mrs. Carson spend a portion
of her time in the Warcuman office while her hu s-
band was attending to some purchases she did
not care to bother with.
—Albert Emerick, who for seventeen years has
been chief engineer. at Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, resigned his position there and went 1ast
Friday to accept the more lucrative one of super=
vising engineer of the capitol building at Har-
risburg. His going is a loss not only to the
College but to the community for he has always
been closely enough identified with its interests
to have been native born. Most of State’s people
are comers and goers and because of short resi-
dence never affiliate themselves with the commun-
ity spirit. It is vain to hope that the Emericks may
return to Centre .Co. for since they have sold
their house to C. Hrrrison it undoubtedly means
a permanent move for them, Mr. Gentzel, a re-
cent graduate of State, sncceeds Mr. Emerick.

“ALABAMA.”’—This pupular southern
1 play will be presented at Garman’s, Friday
evening, September 22nd, hy the Media
Dramatic club, of which Will Flack is
manager. The play was recently presented
in Media and the papers of that place speak
very favorably of the work of the company.
They play at popular prices and should
draw a good house when they appear in
this place.
——We hope that hereafter those who
bave read the very fine piece of fiction,
“Young Bob Kemp,’’ published in this
issue of the WATCHMAN, will attribute no
sinister meaning to one of the ‘‘older resi-
dents,’’ ‘‘older set’’ etc, sometimes used
in speaking of our friends for far be it from
us to become inocculated with the mania
that so diseases many—constantly count-
ing and adding to the years of man.
‘What matters it whe ther we be sixteen or
sixty and even though our years be sixty
and our temperament sixteen why not be
counted by this latter rather than years
that were not made for man? Read Metch-
nikoff’s discoveries in MeClure’s for Sep-
tember on how old age may be postponed
and it will indeed be only the pessimist
that grows old.
