RoaDp SUPERVISORS CONVENTION AN AssURED Success. — The convention of road supervisors to be beld io this place on Thursday of next week is now an assured | success, weather permitting. From present | indications ninety per cent. of the road supervisors in Centre county will be present and the other ten per cent. will miss a good thing if they fail to ‘attend. So far only two supervisors have given a negative reply to the invitations sent out,and those proba- bly bad good reasous for doing so, hecanse it will he a meeting of such uoviversal io- terest, not only so the supervisors but to all the people in every township in the county, that uo one cao afford to ignore is or stay away if is is possible for them so get here. There will be one meeting only, that in the court house at ten o'clock in the morn- ing. Tbat meeting will be addressed by state highway commissioner Joseph W. Hooter, Gen. James A. Beaver, who, by the way, was the first mao io the State of Pennsylvania to advocate better highways which be did in a message to the Legisia- ture when be wa: Governor ; Judge Ellis L. Orvis and others, while those super- visors throughout she county who wish to do so will also be given an opportunity to tell what they kuow about improving the roads.

The good roads movement bas come to stay aud Centre county don’t want to be be hind in the work. In fact there is every reason why it should be in the forefront. Centre county roads with very few excep’ tions are huiit on solid limestone founda- tions and therefore cau he made the hest in the conutry. [In fact there are many :viles of good roads iu this county and it would require only a reasovable amount of lahor and expenditure of mouvey to put all the main thoroughfares in ideal condition. This would not only prove heueficial to all driv. ers of vehicles but is will enhance the value of every farm in the veighborbood,as every wide-awake man kvows. So come to the convention next Thursday and help the good work along. *>oe “FANTASIA” TO BE PRESENTED IN BELLEFONTE — The Erbart entertainers, who presented the '‘Fautasia,’’ a sbors time ago so successfully at Look Haren and Ty- rone, are now in Bellefonte preparing for one of their grand spectacular performances with local talent.
