REE a EE A. IX THE INTEREST OF GOOD ROADS.—A# last week’s meeting of borough council a resolution was passed in effect that an ap- plication be made to the state highway de- partment for the building of a state road through the borough of Bellefonte from the northern line beyond Beaver street to the eastern line on Bishop street. In pur- snance thereof a formal application was this week presented to the hoard of county commissioners for their endorsement, after which it will be immediately forwarded to the state highway department. That the people of Cenire county are awakening to the fact that the state high- way movement is a good ove, and one that ought to be taken advantage of to the fall limit, is shown in the fact that on Tuesday the citizens of Snow Shoe township sent in an application to the county commissioners for endorsement asking for the building of pine miles of state road, to extend from the township line near Runville entirely through to the Burnside township line. This move on the part of the citizens of Snow Shoe township is undoubtedly the result of the coming of the automobile in that locality and the desire on the part of the owners for decent roads over which to drive the machines. Bellefonters bave also become stirred up and yesterday evening quite an enthusiastic meeting was held in the arbitration room in the court house in the interest of the good roads movement. It wasattended by both automobilists and ownersand drivers of horses but as the WATCHMAN goes to press before the meeting adjourned we are unable to give an account of what was done. One thing, however, the owners of vehi. cles in Bellefonte have in mind, and that is the building of a state road between Belle- fonte and State College. Steps are now being taken to have this road vacated as a turnpike and this is the initiative to the further movement of making it a state highway. Aud it can with truth be stated that there is nosection in the county where a good road is more needed than between Bellefonte and State College ; and running as it does, through three townships and into two boroughs, the local cost would be so divided that it wonld not he a hardship anywhere. > MceWinniams FAMILY REUNION. — A family reunion washeld at the well known G. W. McWilliams hom: at Fairbrook on Wednesday, as a surprise party to Mr. McWilliams ; and just how much a sur- prise it must have been to him can easily be imagined when it is known that this was the first time for even years that his chil. dren have all heen at home together. The children are Mre. N. E. Hes, of the Branch; Mrs. Newt Dreiblebis, of White Hall; Geo. W., of Altoona; John E., of Fairbrook; Mrs. Edward Bowersox, of Altoona; Mrs, J. T.

Mary Jane Stew- art, of Altoona. The McWilliams family is one of the oldest in Ferguson township, the elder McWilliams, great grandfather of George W., located in that neighborhood in 1786, took up the piece of land which now com- prizes the old homestead and builta house thereon,and it is a noted fact that the place bas never passed ous of the possession of the family, baving been occupied by them ever since. Mr. McWilliams is now seven- ty-three years of age and is practically blind, but he is hale and hearty otherwise and goes around doing what work he can. Of course Wednesday's reunion was a very happy one for all. a. ——Harry Young, of Valley View, was taken to the hospital on Tuesday, suffering with an attack of typhoid fever.
