The two storms of last week only passed over a par- row strip of territory and the ground was #0 dry that its benefits were not lasting. ————— A] —— ~The venerable George 8. Gray fell from a ladder at his home near Stormstown, one day last week and sustained quite seri- ous injuries. Though no bones were broken the shock to his system on account of bis advanced age was quite severe and his friends are apprehensive of the resals. memes emma —— Because of the fact that they bave secured tbe contract for the building of the big classification yards of the Pennsyl- vania railroad at Northumberland, a three million dollar contract, by the way, the Eyer—Shoemaker Construction company started their repair and supply plant at Tipton this week. —— Berry pickers report that the huck- leberry crop this year will he a short one. Eatly in the season it gave promise of be- ing very large but the prolonged drought bad the effect of drying up the fruit and much of it bas fallen off the bushes. Rasp- berries and blackberries have also been stunted by the dry weather and will be a short crop. ——H. R. Ruger on Saturday purchased the Star theatre from Gurne Freeman, in Philipsburg, and took charge at once. The Star is the leading moving picture show in Philipsburg and as Mr. Ruger is a hustling manager he no doubt will conduoot it better than ever. Mr. Roger, hy the way, has rented a house in that town and will go to housekeeping there. ~—— Monday will be the last day for the filing of bide with the county commission- ers for the remodeling of the court house. Up to this time no bids bave been submit- ted but it is known that a number of con- tractors are figuring on the contract and it is likely thas before the time for the olos- ing of bide arrives a ball dozen or more bids for the job will be filed. ————— AA wn — ~The ninth annual reunion of the Re- formed people of Look Haven, Nittany valley and Bellefonte, will be held at Heo Ia patk, Thursday, Augast 5th.

Taylor's stafl, of the Filth regiment, and knowing that he would bave to go to camp this week, be finished waking bay and cut and bauled in all his grain last week, and on Monday he bad bis entire crop threshed and by Tuesday voon it had been delivered at the mill of Gamble, Gheen & Co. This en- abled him to leave on Tuesday evening with the advance detail for Somerset, where the Second Brigade will go into camp to- day. Col.

The victor in the scrap bad two compan- ions with bim and, alleging that the three of them had jumped on him at once the young man who got the worst of the en- counter had them all arrested for assault. They were given a hearing before justice of the peace John M. Keichline on Mon- day evening and the evidence showing that the prosecutor was as much to blame as the defendants the justice discharged the boye; suggesting to them, however, thas inasmuch as they had knocked a tooth out of the plaintifi’s mouth they ought to chip together and buy bim another. This they readily agreed to do. ———The trout fishing season is almost at an end, there being just one more week of it, and on the whole it could not be con. sidered a very auceessful one for the fisher. men io this locality. True is is, that quite a number of trout were caught by those who bad the patience and persistence to put in day after day along the streams but there were no record catches at any time daring the e=ason. Whether it is because the trout are becoming scarcer or more wi. ly is bard to tell. It is a fact thas the first half of the season was spoiled by the hard rains and high water but these reasons could not be considered during the past month or so. The only good fishing of the eeason was on Fishing creek and as soores of fishermen were there day after day it was only the lucky few who made good catches. Spring creek and Logan’s branch yielded fewer trout this season than they bave for years, notwithstanding the fact that they have been stocked with thous. ands of fry in the last decade. But the agony is almost over and after next week fishermen will bave to devose their time to angling for bass down Bald Eagle or pike up the same stream. BARREE ~David Barree died at his home in Spring Mills at an early hour last Thars- day morning. He bad not been in good health for a oumber of years and for some time past bad been blind, but be was no worse than usual last Wednesday evening when be was able to walk up stairs and go to bed unassisted. Towards morning be bad a sinking spell and death followed at #ix o'clock. Deceased was born in Huntingdon coun- ty almost eighty-three years ago. When a boy he located in Spring Mills and made that his bome ever since. He was a baid- working, industrious mas aod during his lile followed various occupations. Since early manhood he was a member of the Methodist church and took a great interest in all its proceedings, especially in Sunday school work. He was kind and generous, a friend of everybody and stood high in the estimation of all who knew him. In 1863 he enlisted as a private in the 210th regi- ment Pennsylvania volunteers and served until the close of the war, taking part ina number of bard-fought battles.

Beez: er, at five o'clock last Saturday morning. Just three and one-half years old she was not only the idol of her parents, but be- cause of her rare intelligence for one of her years and her sweet, sunchiny nature she was adored by all who knew her. In fact she always appeared more ethereal than mortal and it was this delicacy of constita- tion that rendered ber unable to withstand a four day’s siege of cholera morbus, her system not baving the necessary reserve strength to withstand the insidious disease. That her death was deplored by a large circle of acquaintances was evidenced by the mounds of flowers which banked the casket containing the little body. Bat while kind friends thus paid a last and loving tribute it could not mitigate the anguish of the parents, nor can any word of sympathy vow alleviate their pain. Only time and that mysterious power from on High will enable them to bear their burden. In addition to the parents one brother, Herbert, survives. The funeral was held at 10 o'clock on Monday morn- ing, burial being made in the Catholic cem- etery. | | SNYDER.—Miss Carrie Elizabeth Sny- der, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Georga C.

On Wednesday Bellefonte lost another game to Lock Haven, in that town, by the score of 5t0 2. Ooe bad feature in the Bellefonte team will bave to be eliminated if the boye want to win, and that is the making of so many errors. Otherwise they play good ball. And to get the support of the peo- ple of Bellefonte as they want it they will bave to win some games, This ( Friday) afternoon the Look Haven team will be here to play the locals and the management have arranged for a ‘‘booster day.” That is, they have solicited the merchants to close their stores and places of business during the game in order that they and all of their employees may go out to Hughes field and see the contest. Now is the time when you can all show your loyalty to the Bellefonte team. Go ous today and see them play. It will en- courage the boys and at the same time swell the gate receipts. Take advantage of “‘booster day’’ to boost the club as well as its exchequer. Don's stay at home and then growl if the team don’t win. Game will be called at 3.60 o'clock.

This ma- chine, which is manufactured by the Al- lis—Chalmers company in Detroit, Mioh., is considered a very good one and after Mr, Hunter secures his he feels confident thas he will not be compelled to take the dust of any machine in Bellefonte ; a fact that will no doubt be a source of gratification to him after the years of slavery with thas Franklin 02.

In addition Judge Orvis will make a short talk, while there will probably be brief speeches by several others.
