WEDDING OF Miss ELIZABETH JESSMON
SCHOFIELD To MR. CHARLES LARIMER.
—Very effectively and prettily appointed
in every detail was the wedding, Wed-
nesday morning as eleven o'clock, of Miss
Schofield to Mr. Charles Larimer at the
residence of the bride’s parents, Hon. and
Mrs. James Schofield. The house was
decorated in golden rod and ferns and be-
fore a bank of these in the parlor was the
ceremony raid by Rev. John Wood, pastor
of the Methodist church. While Mrs.
Parker, sister of the bride, played Men-
delssohn’s wedding march,down an aisle of
white ribbon formed by the ushers, Mr.
Lee Jones and Ed. Schofield, came the
bridal party—the groom and best man,
Mr. William G. Patterson, of Clearfield ;the
bridesmaids, Miss Nap Schofield and Miss
Lillian Walker; the matron of honor, Mrs.
Lee Larimer, of Jersey Shore; the flower
girl, Eleanor Parker, a small niece of the
bride,and last the bride. A stylish blonde,
she was exquisitely gowned in white silk
lansdowne,over white taffeta, trimmed with
duchesse’ lace and wore a tulle veil held
with a diamond pin, the gifs of the groom.
Her bouquet was of white bride’s roses.
The matron of honor wore a handsome
white point d’esprit over white silk taffeta
and carried pink bride’s roses tied with pink
ribbons. The bridesmaids were dressed in
pale blue lanedowne and their bouquets
were of white China asters. The pretty
little flower girl, diessed in white India
linen, carried a haskes of white asters.
After the ceremony a breakfast was serv-
ed by Summers, the decorations for the
bride’s table being white asters. One of
the obief features was the huge bride’s cake
sent from New York by the bride’s uncles,
Frank and Allen Schofield. There were
many beautiful presents in cut glass, silver,
rugs and money. The going away gown of
the bride was of cadet blue broadcloth.
If a fanfare and going off with flying
colors be a true measure of success then,
indeed, as one of the guests pronounced it,
was this the most successful and prettiest
wedding in years. No ingenuity or labor
wae spared by the gay attendants of the
bridal party to make their going away so
unigue as never to he forgotten, for in an
open wagon gorgeous with vari-colored
ribbons, bunting, posters, was this merry
pair drawn through the streets to the sta-
tion by the young men. Printed slips in-
troduoing them as bride and groom were
distributed in the train and everything
imaginable to a fun loving crowd was
devised to give the honeymoon a happy (?)
beginning. \
Mr. and Mrs. Larimer left on the noon
train for an eastern tripafter which they
will reside in Clearfield where the groom is
in charge of the Huntingdon and Clearfield
Telephone office.

RicHT MINDED IS THE PARENT WHO
CONCURS WITH THE TEACHER WHEN
Just DISCIPLINE IS ADMINISTERED.— Re-
cently one of the teachers in the public
schools punished a boy who straightway
father returned with him to the school
room, heard the teasher’s explanation, and,
satisfied with it, obliged the boy to resume
his work and hereafter heed the teacher’s
‘wishes. II every parent were as sensible
as was this one there need be no fear of our
boys not growing into true men. Respect
for authority, whether that of parent,
teacher, church or state is necessary and
the earlier it is inouleated into a child’
mind the better it will be for his future.
No nation is as disrespectful of authority
as are we Americans and the lack of this
discipline in the young of this generation
is appalling. - Few children’ nowadays are
amenable to rule at home and consequent-
ly are incorrigible at school. If disciplined
there, the parent usually censures the
teacher and often takes the child from
school. There finally comes a, time when
be gets beyond even parental anthority atid
is then turned ‘over to a ‘boarding school
master who is expected to do what the par-
ent cannot. . The modern fallacions ‘meth-
od of ‘“‘sparing the rod’’ and tolerating im-
pertinence and . disrespect. .in.the home is
responsible for thé insubordination in school
and church that leads to unhappiness, dis-
honesty and threatens the overthrow of our
nation. : pi
ADDITIONAL LIME OPERATIONS.—That
seotion of the county in and around Pleas-
ant Gap promises to" ‘be one of the biggest
lime operations at no distant day of any
place in the State. Following close on the
opening up of operations by the Whiterock
quarries the American Lime and Stone com-
pany, on Wednesday of this week, ‘began,
surveying for a branch road from Peru, on
the line of the Lewisburg and Tyrone Tail
road to the Woodring farm west of Pleas-
ant Gap, which they recently secured and
where they will open up operations in the
‘near futare. This will mean the building
of from four to six kilns, at least, and the
employment of a large number of men.

it away at picnics; but then you know the old
story about a “fool and his money.” Can't we
persuade a lot of you to turnin and fix us up
good for fair week. Really, we’d like to have

RAILROADERS IN BELLEFONTE. —A del-
egation of the Deep Fill lodge No. 552,
brotherhood of locomotive firemen, of Ty-
rone, came to Bellefonte, Sunday morning,
and held two meetings in ‘the assembly
room of the Undine hose house, on Bishop
street, for the social henefit of the local
members of the order. There are about
twelve representatives of the brotherhood
in Bellefonte, members of lodges at Tyrone,
Sunbury and Jersey Shore. A committee
of these met the visiting brethren at the
train, Sunday morning, and escorted them
to the Undine hose house. A short meet-
ing was held ia the forenoon after which
the visitors were entertained at dinner at
the Haag house, where landlord Fred
Mosebarger outdid himself in the Javish-
ness of the repast.
A second meeting was held in the after-
noon at which two new candidates were in-
itiated into the mysteries of the order.
They were Walter Tate, of this place, and
Klechuer, of Snow Shoe, and it is claimed
that a real live goat was used in the initi-
ating ceremonies. H.N. Stewart, of Ty-
rone, was master of ceremonies and he was
very ably assisted by John Priest and Mr.
Trimble. As a courtesy to the engineers
residing in Bellefonte who are members of
the same order they were invited to join
the firemen in disposing of the big dinner
served them at the Haag house. All in all
it was a most enjoyable day for everybody
present.
