Since that a sore has broken out on her arm near the shoulder and one on her face and it is feared that a bad case of blood poison may result from the rat's bite, THE Bic CENTRE COUNTY Pair. —In | just three weeks from oext Tuesday the | big Centre county fair will open on the Centre County Agricultural Exhibiting company’s grounds north of town and if indications count for anything we can promise you that this year’s fair will be the bonanza of any yet held in Centre county. For some time past workmen have been engaged patting the buildings and grounds in proper shape and when the time comes everything will be ready for the biggest gathering, the largest line of exhibits, the best horse races and the most varied pro gram of amuosements that will be seen at avy county fair in Central Pennsylvania this season ; and this without detracting one iota from the greatness of the others. BIGGER AWARDS FOR EXHIBITS. Already many requests have been re. ceived from farmers and others throughont the county for space in the exhibition building and at the rate the applications are coming io that departm:nt will be crowded. The awards of prizes this year for best exhibits will be from one-half to double as much as they have heen in the past. This increase runs through the en- tire list of exhibits, from the best stock exhibit down to fruit and fancy work, so that it will be worth the farmer's while to bring in his products and his handiwork. There also promises to be a big display of poultry, fowls raised in Centre county, which will be worth the price of ad mission to see. Quite a number of implement manufacturers and dealers will have their wares on the ground,a department in itself which will be of unusual interest to the farmers. HORSE RACING AND OTHER AMUSEMENTS. As is usually the case the racing will be the big feature Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. Though it is yet too early to predict the number of horses that will be entered, there is every assurance that the string will be a good one. The time and the purses both are inducements to draw horse owners to the Centre county fair. As to other amusements, there will be plenty of them, and of the kind that any minister or charch member in the cennty need have no hesitation in taking his fam- ily to see. No gambling devices of any kind will be allowed on the grounds or within the jurisdiction of the management; not even the innocent paddle wheel, so that no one need feel afraid of being buan- coed, Io conclusion we want to say that if you want to he with the majority yon must get in line now and have everything ready for the big week. Your neighbors are all go ing to he there aud you don’t want to stay at home alove.

A mao by the name ol Allen, a bricklayer from Williamsport who is work- ing on the new hospital and who had been with Reed, also tock a hand in the fight with the result that Rhoads was not only knocked down but also beaten into insen- sibility by Reed, who hammered him with a broomstiek. Both Reed and Allen were arrested be- fore they could get away and looked up while Rhoads was taken to the hospital. An examination showed that his injuries were not as serious as at first supposed and after remainiog there a few days to allow bis cots and bruises time to heal he was discharged this week. He refused to make any charge against his assailants and they were discharged from the lockup Monday morning, Allen agreeing to pay Rhoads’ dootor bill and hospital expenses as well as for the time be lost from his work. ——QOwing to the fact that both Osceola and Clearfield dropped out of the Centre and Clearfield counties base ball league alter last Saturday’s games, Philipshurg claims the pennant with a percentage of .638 as against .605 for Osceola. —— ices ———The Bald Eagle Valley train east on Sunday morning struck William Schade, of Flemington, who was sitting on the rail- road bridge at that place, and injured him 80 badly that he died almost instantly.

The grading bas all been done and the road for a portion of the way entirely completed. The work, however, is being interfered with to a considerable extent by the big amount of travel over the road, which renders it very difficult to roll the top covering of ground limestone into a compact and rock-like mass. However, contractor Taylor is getting along very satisfactorily and contemplates baving the work completed on time. ae AG en m— ——Quite a number of applications were recently filed with the county commiesion- ers for she building of state roadsin a number of townships in the county, all of which have been approved and forwarded to the state highway commissioner with the exception of the application for nine miles of road in Soow Shoe township.
