~The Bellefonte Lodge of Elks ohari-
ty and hospital entertainments, ‘‘The Coun-
ty Fair.”” which was to have been given in
the opera house next Friday and Satorday
evenings, bas heen postponed until Friday
and Sasarday evenings, December 3:d and
4th. This will give everybody an oppor:
tunity to make better preparations for the
big event and will presage for it a greater
success, Miss Bock, of the Book Eater:
tainment bureau, is now in Bellefonte di-
reoting the preliminary work and she way
the people are taking hold of the matter
justifies the prediction that it will be an
affair well worth seeing.
— Just what the county commissioners
ate going to do with the stone they will
have on haod after the new court house is
completed is a question that is causing
considerable wonderment. From the ap-
pearance now they bave stone enough up
in the park back of the court house to build
two or three such buildings, all of which
were taken by contractor R. B. Taylor
from the foundation for the new building.
A fair estimate places the number of stove
they will bave left at from three hundred
perch up. Of course they have a monetary
value of one dollar a perch, but to leave
them lying where they now are for an in-
definite time, or antil they cao all be dis-
posed of will not make a very good setting
for the new court house.

—— Miss Norton, the new singer at the

with her fine voice and good singing and
her appearance in Bellefonte is another bit
of evidence of the persistency of manager

in his motion entertainments. This
tack he exemplifies Tight along in the high
class of pictures shown. No old or stale
subjeots, but everything of the newest and

Another Appeal for Help.
Editor Democratic Warcnmax :
In your valuable paper of the Ziih ult, a letter
of appeal from “A Looker On" exactly stated
our case, but have the good people of Bellefonte
become so wrapped up in their own little cone
cerns that they oannot see the “Lazarus lying at
their very gate.” We sincerely hope not, al-
though the facts certainly look that way. See
now ! At the beginning of October you publish.
ed our long letter appealing for names of kind
patrons who would promise monthly subserip-
tions toward our Rent League, so that many
might bear the burden instead of the very fow
but hard as it is to credit the fact, no responses
were received although the facts were published
in later issues,
So now we must again appeal to your sympathy
and love to God's cause in this town that you will
knock out the possibility of a repetition of the
story : “Too religious to be able to do good to
one in need.” Do you need a rescue home for
men and women too poor {many of them) for
church, or are they not of your caste and musé
needs die ?
Are you aware we have paid out fifty-six dol-
lars for rents the past three months, which has
been awfully hard to get, and only taken a week-
ly average wage of three dollars, We can go on
this way no lenger and so make this final appeal
for help. Will you respond according to your
