Some High Class Attractions Not since there has heen a fair has there been such high class talent engaged for the performances before the grand stand as will be seen on the Great Centre County Fair grounds on Oct. 7th, Sth, and 9th. De Velde and Zeida, the European vau- deville team, have no eguals ip artistic equilibrism. Their performance is posi- tively unique and extraordivary and as they come bere direct from the great Cana. dian exposition at Mootreal they are a team of wuch bigher class than is usually seen at fairs. Mile Marchand in ber startling performe ance on the flying rings is another star of the first magoitude and her performance is calculated to more than please. “Robin,” kvown to be a head liner iv all the big vaudeville honses, will he here to do his olever specialty asa comedy jug- gler. His act is immensely popular be- oause of the fact that while he does all of his tricks as deftly as the bess prestidigitators, yet he bangles it just enough to allow the wondering aundience to see how it is done. Prof. Cassele, the aeronaut at Electric Park, Baltimore, will make a balloon ascen- sion and parachute drop each day. He is reported the highest fiyer in the business and makes a bair raising ascension by be- ing carried into the air performing while banging by his teeth. Yon have all geen them go up on a trapeze and been startled, but think of a man being carried away into the air while banging by his teeth. The famoos Repa:z band of Williams- port and our own pride, the Coleville band, will both be there so that all that could be desired in the music line will be on the grounds. These are some of the amusements that the management offers to yon free of charge, though they will cost nearly $1000.00. ‘They do not include the many small shows, varousals, exhibitions and racing that will go to make up the great Fair. The question now is will you be there? And remember, every day will be a big day. Tharsday won't be a bit better than Wednesday or Friday. In fact Friday will be the best day of the Fair. 1! you take our advice that is the day you should not miss. ADDITIONAL LOCALS. Cor. Rey~oLps PEACH CroP.—Col. W. . Fred Reynolds’ big crop of peaches has all been gathered and shipped, the last of the fruit being picked Wednesday. The total yield was very close to the original esti- mate, being close to twelve thousand bush. els. The gathering of the crop was no small job and a large number of men were employed iu picking the fruit. Three cents a busbel was the price paid for picking and the men made fair wages at that. Some of the peaches were shipped as far west as Indianapolis, Ind., while some were shipped to the eastern markets. Most of the fruit was of a good quality and brought fair prices, so that Col. Reynolds realized quite a handsome sum off his peach crop this year. He aleo has a good orop of apples and other [rait. GRerxE. —In the death of F.
