And for once the weather mao favored the fair people, as no one could have wished for a nicer week than we have bad so far; and from present indi- cations, the weather will continue nice for the nish today. The attendance so far bas been very good and there will doubtless be a hig crowd there today, as the best races of the week will take place this alternoon. Taking everything into consideration thie yea:i's fair exceeds those of former years by big odds, so far as the exhibits are con- cerned. Thestock exhibit was a good one, as every stall was taken. The biggest ex- hibis of stock was of cattle, there beinga big line of animals, from a month old calf to a full blooded Guernsey cow with a rec- ord of over four hundred pounds of bus- ter a year. There were only a few sheep but gunite ajnumber of hogs and pigs and a good string of horses. The poultry exhibit this year was not up to former years but this can be accounted for by the fact that it was confined eutirely to Centre county chicken raisers. The exhibit of wagons and farm wachin- ery was by all odds the biggest ever seen at a Centre county fair, and included var ions pieces of machinery from a cream separator to an eight horse power gasoline engine. L.} H. Musser Isaac Underwood and Waite & Co. were among the biggest exhibitors in thie line. Every inch of available space was taken in the main exhibition building. Just in- side the entrance to the right is the mag- nificent display from The Pennsylvania State College. It is in charge of Harry P. Fishburn, of the engineering department, aod includes samples of all kinds of grain, vegetables and fruits grown on the experi- mental farm, as well as specimens of ma- chinery, wood work, drawings, etc., done by the students in the mechanical engi- neering and other courses. In this build. ing are aleo exhibits hy W. R. Brachbill, M C. Gephart, James Schofield and var- ious other firms. The fancy work department is also well filled and includes many pieces shat are marvels of the needle-woman’s skill. The culinary and household department dis- playa many toothsome dishes in the shape of bread, cakes and pies, canned fruits and vegetables, jellies and jams, homenade wine, eto. The grain, frais and vegetable exhibit is 80 large this year that it could not be ao- commodated in the main exhibition baild- ing and is therefore displayed in a large tent on the west side of the grounds near the creek. Probably the biggest display there is of apples, and from them it can easily be seen what a good year for fruit this bas been. There are also some very fine samples of potatoes, tomatoes, ete. The Midway this year is filled with enoogh attractions to keep the crowd pretty well occopied, there being a dozen or more ways in which you can spend your money, from taking a ride on the razzle-dazzle to having your fortune told ——Hugh N.

FIrrY YEARS MARRIED. —~On Wednes- day, it was just filty years since Mr. H. W. McCracken, of Ferguson township, led Miss Eliza Campbell to the altar and the two pledged their marital vows ina ceremony performed by Rev. Mr. Steven- son, then pastor of the Spruce Creek Pres- byterian church. Half a century has passed since and Mr. and Mrs. McCracken Lave lived to see their children grow to man- hood and womanhood and all go to fill some responsible position in life and shey two, now a listle past four ecore years of age, spared and in good health to celebrate their golden wedding. This was done, however, in a very quies way at their home in the Glades, the im- mediate members of their own family and a few very olose neighbors and friends be ing the only oves invited to participate. Awong the latter were a number who were guests at their wedding fifty years ago. just thirty-one of whom are still living. It was a delightfal little gathering and the day proved a very pieasant one for all. Both Mr. and Mrs. McCracken are na tives of Ferguson trwnship, the latter be- ing a daoghter of she late John and Han- nah Campbeli. She has one sister yet liv- ing, Mrs. J. A. Adair, of Stanton, Pa. Almost immediately after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. McCracken went west as far a8 Missouri and went to farming, remain- ing there six years. They lived there daring the earlier pars of the Civil war and Mr. McCracken served one term of eolist- ment in a Missouri company of cavalry. In 1864 they sold their western farm and returning to Centre connty purchased the old Campbell homestead in the Glades, Thirty one years ago he also bought the John Bailey farm adjoining and has sivee made that sheir howe. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Mo- Cracken is past eighty years of age be still enjoys good health and personally superin- tends the work on his farm, though he is not quite as stout as he was fifteen or twen- ty yeas ago. He is a man well posted in current events and logical in all his argu- ments. In politics he is a Republican, though not of the hide-hound variety. He is a member of the Presbyterian charch, of Leonard Gravge and Capt. J. O. Campbell Post, No. 272, G. A. R. Mr. and Mrs. MoCracken bave six obil- dren living, namely: Mrs. Campbell, wile of Rev. J. I. Campbell, of Wooster, Ohio ; Rev, John C. McCracken, of Johns- town ; Clara, Mary, Lizzie and Harry at home. Their home in the Glades is not only one of the most comfortable in the county bat also ove of the most hospita- ble. and it is hoped they may live years more to enjoy is. *oe DoiNaGs aT CouNcin.—The eight mem- bers who were present at Monday night's meeting of horough council did not have much business to transact but what they did have were questions of some moment. Jobn J. Bower Esq., wae present in the interest of D. 8. Drake, of Huntiogdon, {and Frank H. Fisher, of Boalsburg, who have secured an option on the Green water power at Mileshurg for the purpose of erecting a hydro—electrical plant there. Mr. Bower asked for the passage of an or- dinance which grants to the above said parties the right to erect poles and string wires through the streets and alleys of Bellefonte for the purpose of furnishing electrio light and power to the residents of the town ; aod for furnishing light for street purposes. The ordinance provided that the maxi- mum charge for arc lights of two thousand candle power should not exceed fifty dollars per light per annum, and that the maximum charge for lighting residences and business places, aud for power uses should not exceed seven cents per kilowatt per hour. A further proviso in the ordinance was that if at any time the plant was for sale the borough should have the first right of purchase. After some discussion of the ordinance final action on same was deterred until the next regular meeting. The special committee appointed some time ago to investigate the water power at the borough's disposal and ascertain what it wonld cost to build a plant to furnish sufficient electric current for street lighting purposes, reported that they had one offer from a party, whose name was not divulged, to build a plant for twenty- five thonsand dollars. They wonld ask five per cent. interest on the investment and the principal could be paid by the borough in such installments as council might see fit to designate. The committee was instructed to make farther investiga- tions and open negotiations with the party referred to so that something definite could be arrived at. The remainder of the business transacted by council was merely of a routine charac- ter. : *ee I. 0. O. F. OFFICERS INSTALLED.—The newly elected officers of Pennsvalley Lodge, No. 276, I. 0. O.

Not over a dozen squirrel were brought into Bellefonte the first day, unless the hunters kept the fact seores, and the num- ber of pheasants was even less. The only successful hunt so far hard of was that of H. C. Quigley, of this place, and Harry Baer, of Beech Creek, who came in from the Allegheny mountains on Friday even- epoils of their two day’s bans. Mr. Quig- ley brought nine of the dead birds along home with bim and exery hunter who saw him envied him his luck. Every day since the opening of the season a number of Bellefonte nimrods bave been out in the woods bus have met with no better lnok than on the first day. This scarcity of game does not hear out the reports sent in from the mounutains by woodsmen that pheasants were unusually plentiful, and shat the fire on the Alle- ghenies had driven them into the foothills and on the ridges. From present indica. tious they must have been driven entirely out of the territory frequented by Centre county hunters, and unless they become more plentiful it would seem a waste of time going after them. — A ennai LAYING OF CORNER STONE... Sunday was an auspicious day for the members of the Reformed church of Howard as it marked she laying of the corner stone of sheir new edifice. The pastor in charge, Rev. H. I. Crow, of Hublersbarg, had ar- ranged a good program of services for the day. They were opened by the ritualistic address and prayer by the pastor followed by an appropriate bymu by the choir.

Rhoads, of the United Evavgelical | church, and Rev. H. C. Fatterson, of the | Christian church, of Blanchard. The corner stone was a gift from J. Will | Mayes, marble dealer, of Howard.
