The resignation of Miss Frances Elmore as teacher of one of the grammar schools in the Stone building was accepted and when it came to disenssing the gues tion the hoard decided todo away with one of the schools by cousolidating two under the grade of intermediate grammar and se- lecting Miss Helen Harper as teacher. To do this will necessitate remodeling the second floor of the Stone building. As it is now laid out there are three rooms, one big one in the middie and a small one i at each end. Itis the purpose to tear out the two partitions and put one through the | cestie of the building, thus making two | good sized school rooms, and which will | afford ample room for the schools to be | taught hy Miss Effie Snyder and Miss Harper. It will also result in giving bet- | ter light in both rooms than was had here- | totore in either of the three. The work will be done at once. The board also decided tc put down an entirely new tar pavement around the | Brick school building. Some of the direc- | tors thought it would be economy to put | down either brick or stoue, tut as either | one would easily coat with ice and become very slippery, hence dangerous,in the win- ter time, they understood the wisdom of making the pavement of tar, aud such it will be.

Her sys. tem was thas very much overtaxed and she went to her home at State College fora much veeded rest but last Tharsday she was taken sick and typhoid fever rapidly developed. Her sister was also brought to the hospital yesterday for treatment for spinal trouble. > ——The buttonless suspender maoufac- tured by 8. D. Ray in connection with his shirt factory in this place, is proving a sue- cess and the demand for it is increasing right along. In fact the demand is far greater than the output owing to the inabil- ity to secure the material. If this difficulty could be overcome Mr. Ray could easily double if not triple his output and natural ly would be compelled to iucrease his force of employees.

It is just possible that an eminent eye specialist in New York, said to be the best in the world, may yet be called in consulta- tion on the case. In the meantime Mr. Koontz is hoping against hope and keeping as obeerful as possible under the unfortu- uate circumstances. >oe ——For some time past the newspapers throughout the western part of the State have been publishing items about the jour- neyings of a tramp who goes by the cogno- men of “A No. 1,” refusing to give any other name.

In appearance the man resembles a traveling man more than he does a hobo ; in fact, he is just smart enough to realize that his peculiarities are what is needed to make his life as a tramp more like a ‘‘bed of ease’ than anything else would do and, incidentally be “‘work- ed’ our friends Ad Fauble, A.

It is the intention of the management to make the fair this year bigger and better in every way than it bas ever been in the past. The rain of Monday and Tuesday last year and the unusually cold weather which followed during the rest of the week not only interfered with the bringing in of many exhibits but also kept many people away so that the attendance was not up to what it might have been. But the managers of the fair association | are not discouraged and this year, with good weather, will show the people of the conn- ty what a big fair is. But todo this they will need the cooperation of not only the farmers, but business wen and the women of the conusy. To have a soecessful fair there must be plenty of exhibits and it re- mains with the people of the county to furnish these. Aud it is now none too early to begin plavning for these exhibits. If you have farmer in Centre county has, save a little of the best of it. If you have some prom. ising fruit, prone around it carefully so it may hecome as perfect as possible. If son have stock that is blooded aud thrilty give it the proper attention eo that when the fair time is bere you will know that your exhibit is uot only a worthy one but one | which will likely win you money, | emis DEPARTMENT REORGANIZED. — When the students assemble at The Pennsylvania | State College at the opening of the college on September 12th they will find the de- partment of agriculture completely re- organized.

Stone, all of Tyrone, arrived in Bellefonte in a epecial train over the Bald Eagle val- ley railroad and for half an hour held a short course medical school for railroad men. The purpose is to instruct all train crews as well as trackmen the science of “first aid to the injured.” Or to put it were plainly, Dr. Pownall, in a compre: hensive talk, told the men just what to do in case of an accident where any per: sou or persons were injured to relieve them or possibly save a life. In the event of an artery being cat they were shown how to properly bandage the limb to stop the flow of blood until an experienced physician could be obtained. Likewise if a bone was broken or any other kind of an injury, bow to properly dress it to do until the injured one could be removed or have the attention of a doctor. Dr. Pownall will go over the entire Tyrone division and lecture to all the employees. iii For THE NEW HospriTaL. — Contractor Henry Lowery now has a force of men at work grouting for the foundation walls of the front part of the main building of the pew Bellefonte hospital.
