—— With the advens of spring will come
renewed agitation for the improvement of
the various roads in Centre county; and
especially for the building of those pieces
of state highway for which application was
made last summer but which are still
banging fire in the departmens at Harris-
burg. One of these is for a bigh way
through, Bellefonte from the northern to
the eastern boundary. It: construction
will mean the putting down of one good
street in the town, which might prove an
objeot lesson to the borough authorities for
the buildiug of more like it.

— While Easter in Bellefonte was a
bright, sunshinyg day the air was quite cold,
owing to the snow atorm of Friday and the
continued cold blustery weather of Satnr-
day, and as a result the Easter costumes
were not as plentifailly worn as would
bave been had the day been warmer. With
‘all that, however, there were quite a nam-
ber of women hiave enough to dely the
weather and wear their new creations in
both bats and costumes. Of conrse the day
was celebrated with special rervices in all
the churches and the ministers had the
gratifiation of preaching to large congrega-
sions. Special programs of Ea<ter music
were also an additional attraction in most
of the churches, while the Methodists had
the pleasure of listening for the first time
to their new pastor, Rev. T. 8B. Wilcox,
and all were very much pleased with the
- sermon he delivered.

~The base ball season i# now in fail
blast, both the big leagues baving started
playing championship ball this week. The
minor leagues will open shortly and this
leads to the query : Will there be a Cen-
tre—Clinton county league this year?
Last year, from reports from a number of
the towns, it was uot a paying venture,
owing to the fact that the latter pars of the
season most of the teams wera padded with |
‘high priced players in order to afford a bes-
~#er opportunity of winniog the pennant.
Because of this the backers of some of the
teams were left stranded several hundred
dollars in debt ; and of course this condi-
sion of affairs put a damper on the base
ball ardor. It is too bad that such was
‘the case, as the teams in the Centre—Clin-
tou league played good all and furnished
exoellent{sport for the hundreds wino wens
to see them. If a league should be formed
this year the proper way to manage it
would be to confine the team membership
to strictly local players, when the expense
could be kept down to a minimum.

——The Bellefonte schoo! hoard is get-
ting things in shape as fast as possible for
the building of the new school building in
the North ward to take the place of the
old stone building now in use and which
bas become obsolete for various reasons.
Many persons are wondering why work on
the foundations for the new building has
not already been commenced, inasmuch as
it will be located in the rear of the present
building, bat the facts are that the board
is not yet ready to begin work. There are
various preliminary details to settle when
it comes to putting ap a new thirty thous-
and dollar building which must all be
completed beloreband and this bas net yet
been dove. In fact, the plans for the new
building have not been fully completed,
and until all this is done work cannot be
started. The hoard, however, feels confi-
dent of getting started in time #0 thas the
new building will be completed for the
opening of school next fall.

daughter at the home of Mr. and Mus.

cape from being burned to death last

and lit is. She set fire to her dress and
was soon enveloped in flames. Hearing
her ories Fred Herr, a brother of Mrs.
Cruse, rushed into the room and succeeded

——T. Clayton Brown, manager of the
Scenic theatre, made quite a his last Fii-
day and Saturday evenings by giving all
who attended the motion picture shows
a candy Easter egg on which was the in-
soription, *'The Scenic.”” Is iequired hun-
dreds of eggs to go around but he had laid
in an ample sopply and allowed no one to
go away without one if they would accep
it. It was a good advertisement and
shows that he is just as wide-awake to his
own interests in such apparently little
things as he is enterprising in securing pic-
tures which please and the people approve
of. In this conpection he secured a re-
torn of the Tals inauguration film at the
request of a large number of people who
failed to see it when first shown here and
gave it over again on Wednesday evening
in addition to his regular program. George
Gavin, of Brooklyn, is singing the illustra-
ted songs to the satisfaction of the patrons.
