By this itis pot meant that the plant is going to be sacri- ficed at a compulsory sale. Since it bas been in the hands of she recziver, Mr. Claude Cook, its business bas been put in a fair shape at least and if the plant can be sold now at a reasonable price all the oreditors can be paid every dollar of their olaims. The plant is a large one, well equipped with modern machinery for the makiog of swings, taborettes, ete., and if properly conducted should prove a paying industry. .

LEONARD PEARSON.— Dr. Leonard Pearson, dean of the veterina- ry department of the University of Penn. sylvania, Philadeiphia, died very unex- peotedly on Mouday at Sprucebrook, New- foundland. Dr. Pearson broke down from overwork about six weeks ago and went to Newfoundland in the hope tbat a rest would restore his health but bis system was $00 {ar overtaxed and bis death ensued, hears failure being the direct canse. De- ceased was guite well known in Bellefonte, baving been one of the charter members of the old Nistany Rod and Gun club and baving at various times visited this section in an official capacity. Dr. 1868 and was uated from the Agrioul- Cornell university in 1888, a t of the resident lecturer on veterinary The Pennsylvania State College.

He was appoionted to this position Governor Hastings, and was reappointed by Govern- or Stone and by Goversor Pennypacker, and as secretary of the board, devoted him- self to its veterinary and executive work. Dr. Pearson’s breakdown is thought to be due to his efforts to stamp out the dread foot and mouth disease, which was preva. lent in this State a few months ago. This was aggravated subsequently by the doo- tor being nearly asphyxiated in bis efforts to save bis motber’s life, when the latter had been overcome by gas from a stove in her room. This so undermined his coustitution that upon his recovery the trip to Newfoundland was decided upon.

Of course the erection of a building of that size cannot be rushed through with the same degree of speed that would ap- pear in the erection of a smaller building, bat at that, the contractors now have all the brickwork of the first story up and the carpenters are engaged in placing the heavy iron girders and joists for the second floor. With good weather and no misfortunes the walls of the building will likely be all up and ready for the roof in abous three weeks, Once under roof it will be possi. ble to push the work quite rapidly and there is a possibility at least that the build. ing will be completed in time for oconpan- oy after the Holiday vacation. The Great Cemire County Fair. Progress, advancement is the order of the day. It ie fitting that nothing should stop or even balt in the march to improve- ment. That is the policy of she Great Cen- tre County Fair and because thas is the polioy something better may be expected this year than last and next year than this. The latter is no reason why you should miss any of the great days, Oct. 5th, 6th. 7th and Sth, however, because this is to be a great fair. The exhibits will be more extensive than ever, a better class of race horses for the speed trials, and a greater diversity of all things amusing and in- structive that go to make up a really first class agricultural fair. Last year a few people drew over $700 in cash premiums. This year the manage- ment wants more people to draw a larger amount. The State is helping this depart- ment of the fair because the friendly com- petition in agricultural, horticultural and oattle]{raising pursuits cannot be but for the mutual improvement of all. No doubt you saw plenty of articles as the fair last fall that had a bine or red premiom tag that you could bave surpassed with some product of your farm, garden or house. The other exhibitor gos the money because you didn’s have yours there. Why don’t you join in the competition. It costs noth- ing and adds so much to the interest of the exhibition. In a strictly amusement sense there will be the daily concerts by the new City band of Bellefonte, a balloon ascension each day by King Kelley, the highest flyer in the business, a number of small platform shows for the amusement of the little folks, a merry-go-round, ocean wave, numerous small pay shows and a lot of other equally diverting features. Present indications point to a far larger display of agricultural implements, dairy and butter making appliances than ever before and though the fruit in Centre county thisseason has not been a prolific yield you will be sarprieed when youn see what will be shown in the big fruit tents. No ope will deny that the Great Centre County Fair was the stimulus of much bet- ter poultry growing in this community. When the Fair began to import displays of poultry from the great farms in New York State many interested in chickens purchased breeders. The result bas been that now there are more local displays than the poultry building can accommodate, and very creditable displays at that. What the Fair bas done to improve the poultry breeds it can and will do tc improve the cattle breeds, if our home people will only take the interest they should. Remembering always that it is the great aonoal event of the year in the county, that it is in no sense a money making echeme and the management is only too glad to put back into improvements every cent derived from it there should be such an outpouring of the people of she county as will pat an unmistakable stamp of ap- proval on the enterprise and insure it as one of the permanent institutions for the pleasure of all. Arrange to exhibit something at the fair next month. If you haven’s anything to exhibit arrange to be there and eee what the others exhibit. Yon will be repaid, for the Fair is going to be better than ever. CENTRE COUNTIAN KILLED ON RalL- ROAD.—Herbert G.
