THE MERRY OPERA oF “THE Toy-
MAKERS.’ ——That celebrated company of
merry-makers, ‘‘The Jollities,”’ will soon
be the attraction at the Garman Opera
house and it is predicted that no one in
this town will miss “The Toymakers,’

gio, the author of shat famous hook,
“Quincy Adams Sawyer,’’ which was read
and talked about as‘‘one of the best New
England stories ever written.” Mr. Pid-
gin bas written both book and play and
every one should read this amusing story if
possible before seeing ‘The Toymakers.”
The story tells of a wonderful doll invent-
ed by “John Senior Stubbs’ and brought
to lite by electricity through many ourious
and comical adventures and pate the audi-
ence in great good humor. Twenty-six
new musical lyrics makeup this olever
comic opera, which were written by Charles
D. Blake and John A. Bennett. New
costumes and beautiful scenery were de-
signed especially for ‘‘The Jollities’’ who
give a clean, unhackneyed evening’s enter-
tainment.

athletic relations with the Indiana Normal

a good opportunity for the people of Belle-
fonte to see what kind of stuff she
Academy team ie made of this year and all
who can do so should take advantage of
the excursion and go up. From present
indications the Academy team will be one
of the best they have ever had, and they
will no donbt put up a very interesting
game.

Andrew Corman, road master, has certain.
ly repaired the old pike road for about five
miles in a very creditable and workman-
like manuver. He basdug numerous gutters
and side ditches to drain the water off to
keep the roadbed dry and free from the old
familiar mud puddles; repaired all the rats
and removed all the loose stones. In fact,
the road was never in a better condition, if
as good, under the management of the Pike
Co. Mr. Corman at one time was one of our
supervisors and the road under his super-
visors jwere never in as good condition
before nor since. If all the supervisors had
the same judgement and abilities of Mr.
Corman, there would be little cause for com-
plaint.
