he served until 1856.
Mr. Wilson's railroad career began in
the year 1857 at the expiration of his term
ae deputy sheriff, and was co-incident with
the construction of the railroads in Central
Pennsylvania. His first connection with a
railroad was as a rodman in a corps of engi-
neers en in the construction of the
railroad running between Bellefonte and
Snow Shoe. On the completion of the road
in 1859 he was made a conductor on the line
and earned the respect and esteem of the
officers and patrons of the road. He held

roading as a means of livelihood. He en-

and {nithlal service. He was formaily re-
tired from: the position on October 18,1902,

dent Cassatt, of the company and a nom-
ber of the preceding presidents as well as

lantic City where they have leased aud
will conduct the McClellan house on
Atlantic avenue. The move was quite a
surprise to the most intimate friends of the

templated leaving Bellefonte until about a
week ago when the announcement of their
departure was made. Mr. Garman has
been a resident of Bellefonte all his life,
baving been born and raised here. For
the past nine years be and his brother, C.
B. Garman, bave conducted the Garman
house in this place so that he goes to At
Iantie City with a thorough knowledge of
the hotel business. The McClellan house
is not one of the big hotels in the city by
the sea bat one of about thirty rooms. Its
location on Atlantic avenue, only two
blocks from the Board walk, makes it a good
stand and one that has always been well
patronized. To get things in readiness for
the reception of the Garman family Al. 8.
Garman, of Tyrone, went to Atlantic City
on Monday to have some necessary changes
and repairs made and is would not be a
surprise to hear that he will spend the
entire summer there.

lord just as soon as the liceaze can be

experience as a landlord, bas been around
hotels in various capacities most of his life,

—Spring has been a little slow in putting in an
appearance but the past few days remind us that
once having made up her mind to come she is do-
ing it with a bound. That is exactly the way
with some subscribers to newspapers; they are
very slow about coming “up to the captains of.
fice,” but when they finally do make up their mind
to do it they settle the whole bill at once. The
Warcumax's list is fast outgrowing this class, but
still we have some and itis not at all an unusual
thing to receive $30, $40, $50 and even up to $12
from a single subscriber who has been in arrears
thatlong. We always have maintained that most
men are honest and will pay when they can and
for that reason we have waited far longer than
good business methods would warrant on many.
Some of them have fulfilled our ideals of honesty
while others have been shysters, It is not of
these, however, that we started to tell, but rather
of the ones who have recently squared off for the
year and spiked the cannon against saying any-
thing about them as delinquents. They are A.
