CHRisTMAS 18 CoMING ! — Of course this is nothing new, as every reader of the WartcuMan has doubtless long been con- templating this most cherished of all holi- days—Christmas. The one day in all the year when mankind should feel most charitable and kindly disposed to all. Bat it is not a sermon on the day or its sig- nificance that we intend to preach. Every- body koows that it is the day when the giving of gifts reigns supreme. Awvd this very fact in itself is the cause of great wor- riment to hundreds of people, simply be- cause they cannot made up their minds as to just what they do want to give. The firsts great problem to solve in the matter of the hestowal of Christmas gifts, and it really is the greatest task of all, is the amount of money you can afford to spend in this way. Don’t impoverish yourself or don’t go in debt, for any gift no matter bow small, if given from the heart, carries with it the same spirit as ove of priceless worth. Having decided bow much you can afford to spend and the number of gifts to buy then comes the selection of same, and io this the WATCHMAN may be able to help you. ‘Read the holiday advertisements in this paper slosely and we can assare you that in uve or more of them you will be able to find all you will wants without going any further. If your intended gifts include avnythiog in CLOTHING OR GENTS FURNISHING you can get it as either M. Fauble & Son or Montgomery & Co. Both stores carry a full live of up to-date clothing for boys of all ages and sizes, as well as men, while in haberdashery and all kinds of gents furnish- ing goods they cannot be surpassed. They also carry a fall line of ambrallas for ladies and gentlemen, an article that at all times makes a most acceptable gift. Bat per- haps it is something in the line of DRY GOODS AND NOTIONS you are looking for. If such is the case make a visit to Lyon & Co’s complete store and look over the fine display on their counters and shelves and in their well stocked show cases. You can find any- thing in the above line there that yon can find anywhere in town and at prices that will just snit she Christmas purse. It maybe that von have heen waiting antil Christmas to buy your little boy or girl a pair of shoes ; or perhaps father or mother, or brother or sister a pair of slip pers. If such is the case you cannot find a more complete LINE OF FOOT WEAR in any town than you will find at the store of Yeager & Davis, in the Bush Arcade. They are always np to-date with the very latest and their shelves have been filled with goods especially for the holiday trade. Remarkable as it may seem more than one-half the people when they contemplate giving a gift turn at ounce to SILVERWARE AND JEWELRY. Aud vo wonder, because there is nothing else that makes such an appropriate pres ent. And, in addition, there is always such an endless variety of things to pick from. In order to be convinced of the trath of this you have only to read the ad- vertisement of F. P. Blair & Co., in this paper then go to their store and see how nice everything is. And they can always suit you, both as to quality and price. Even in the midst of gift giviug the prudent housewife must give at least a part of her time contemplating the FIXIN'S FOR THE CHRISTMAS DINNER, but she will need to worry very little if she goes to Sechler & Co. There she can get anything in the grocery line she will need as well as everything necessary to go with a turkey dinner. There is another place yon don’t want to overlook if yon are hunting for FANCY NOVELTIES, ETC., and that is Green’s Pharmacy. Yon will be astonished at the large and varied as- sortment of holiday goods on exhibition there. Io fact the list is too long to even begin to enumerate the pretty things, so you will just have to go aod see them for yourself. In the midst of all your gift giviog and receiving remember that ‘‘she poor ye bave with you always,”’ and that it is possible there are families in Bellefonte who will not be able to indulge in any gife-giviog and may even not have the means to pro- vide a good Christmas dinner; or may perhaps have to shudder with the oold be- cause they have not the means to keep warm. If you know of any such and have the means to do so, send them a sack of flour from C. Y. Wagner's mill or a ton of coal from Edward K. Rhoads’ yard. Is will mean more to them than most any other gilt yon could bestow. Aud now if yon have read all the above carefully we feel sure that you will be able to make wise selections in the matter of yoar gilts and we know that every adver- tiser in the WATCHMAN will greatly ap- preciate your trade. i ——It you are looking for a useful gift for man or hoy the Fauble Stores will make your selection easy.

Cartin adheres to his dictum when he stopped the hustling just before Thanksgiving day. Hustling was then carried on to ench an extent thas it was impossible for dealers or individuals to get any turkeys at all. Certain people iu Bellefonte bought all the turkeys they could get hold of, paying as high as eigh- teen cents a pound, then hustled them off for anywhere from twenty to twenty-two cents a pound. Of course it was a liitle money in their pockets, and they could not be blamed for their enterprise in under- taking to make it, but unfortunately bos. tling for turkeys isa form of gambling prohibited by law and that is the reason it wae stopped at the suggestion of the bur- mess. And that is also the reason why there is not likely to be any of it before Christmas and consequently turkeys may be plentier and cheaper. Court CULLINGS.—In court last week the case of W. F. Knopf, A. H. Knopf and Adam L. Blazer, tradivg as Knopf Bros. aud Blazer, vs. Charles Bilger, wasa notable oue 50 far as the verdict was concerned. The action grew oat of a dispute over the measurement of lumber going over the mill operated by the defendant, the plaintiffs claiming that they had a contract to stock defendavt’s mill at a certain price per thousand, mill measure, and claimed thas the defendant did not allow ail that was dae them. Oa the other hand the defend- ant asserted that the plaintiffs bad heen ' paid all that was due them aod that if there was any claim at all it was doe him, | the plaintiffs baving been overpaid. The | jury took the laster view of the matter also, and brougbt in a verdict for the de fendant in the sum of 99 cents. The first case called for trial this week was that of Frank Samuel and Silas M. Tomlison ve. she Bellefonte Furnace com- pany. The case grew ont of a dispute as to the amount of puddied fornace cinder the plaintiffs were to ship to the defendant company during the vear 1906 and the amoont due them for same. The case was on trial until noon on Tuesday when it was amicably settled, When the case of James Krebs, nse of Bardine Batler, vs. 8. Kline Woodring, administrator ad litem of William Heaton, deceased, late of Boggs township, was call ed for trial, the attorneys for the defense moved to strike off the proceeding because of irregular pleadings, and after some argu- ment on both sides the court sustained their motion. Mr. Butler was the plaintiff in three actions similar toahove and they were all stricken off for the same canse and in order to give him a fair chance thecourt suggested that he and the counsel for the defense get together and agree on the plead- ings on which subsequent action could be brought but Burdine said ‘‘He'd be —if he'd agree with them attorneys in any- thing.” The last case tried was that of A. W, Gardner vs. Burdine Butler, an action in tresspass to recover the value of a piece of land, designated by the Pletcher survey. Verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $74.42 ian ~——It you are looking for a useful gife for wan or boy the Fauble Stores will make your selection easy. AvutoMOBILE WRECKED. -Dr. M. J. Locke may vow be regarded as an authority on the fact that a man cannot allow his mind to wander in other directions and successfully ran an ansomobile. Op Fri- day afternoon he was going east on How- ard street in his Buick runabout and at the same time was deeply pondering some weighty eubjeot with the result shat he did not keep in the middle of the street. Opposite the side gate at the Humes prop- erty is a hitohing post, standing perbap« two feet outside the gutter. The doctor bad forgotten the existence of this post and baviug the storm curtains of his machine down he failed to see iv and the firss thing he knew the left front wheel struck the post aud the machine was thrown arouad onto the pavement. When the doctor took an account of stock be found the wheel practically smashed to pieces, the axle bent aad the fender bent, while his acetylene lamp was knocked into many pieces. He telephon- ed to the garage and workmen went to the scene of the wreck and fixed the machine up sufficiently to be hauled into the shop for repairs. Dr. Locke claims that the hitching post is forther out in the street than he thought it was and thas is the rea- son be ran into it. Be that as it may, the collision was a pretty costly one as the damage to the machine was easily one hun- dred dollars. —————— “os — Its the Faunble Stores that offer you your pick frown their entire stook of winter overcoats at | off the regular price. HURT IN WRECK.—Monday and Taes- days rains raised the waters in the Snsque- hanna river to almost the flood limit and caused considerable damage by the wash- ing away of bridges, eto. On Tuesday af- ternoon the big “‘traveler’” ou the second span of the new iron bridge being built across the Sasquehanna from Bloomeburg to Mifflinville collapsed as the result of a log being washed against the iron under- structure and seven men were killed and twelve injured. Among the latter was Newton Danlap, son of county commis- sioner Jobhu L. Dunlap, of this place, who had both legs badly bruised but no bones broken. His injuries are not serions and Wedoesday morning he went out at the head of a gavg to undertake the recovery of the bodies of their dead fellow-workmen from the waters of the Susquehanna. Jesse Danlap was also at work ov the bridge at the time but not on the traveler and he was vot injured. The bridge is being built by the York Bridge company, with whioh Boyd A. Musser is connected, and the Danlap boys have been with the gang since July fit. Newt came home on Wednes- day evening to remain until his injuries are healed. —————— MgeAT INSPECTORS IN BELLEFONTE. ~—Two State meat inspectors were in Belle- fonte on Tuesday and made an inspection of the butcher shops and slaughter houses in Bellefonte, in accordance with the pro- vision of the new pure food law.
