WHERE 10 SHOP. —The WATCHMAN goes
to its readers today in the regular Corist-
mas attire and we bave every reaon to
believe that it will please all who receive
is. Bat it is not of our efforts in giving this
Coristmas edition that we wish to speak bat
of the merchants who have taken advantage
of this extra paper to tell you whas they
have in the lines of Christmas presents.
The big bulk of the Christmas shopping is
yet to do and WATCAMAN readers are
asked to consult the advertisements iu thie
issue. All of them are genuine and every
meichaot is responsible for everything he
advertises,
It yon want anything in she olothing
line you will have ample opportunity of
making a suitable selection at either Fau-
bles, Montgomery & Co., or Claster’s. Each
cue of the above have a line o! clothing so
wide in range and price that all olasses and
all purses can be suited. If you give them
a call we are sure you will not be disap-
pointed.
There is nothing nicer for a Christmas
present than jewelry and if you will con-
sult the advertieement of F. P. Blair &
Co., in this issue yon will find what a wide
range of artioles you will have to select
from if you go there to do your shopping.
Everything in the jewelry line that man,
woman or child may desire. Their display
of brass work is the most elaborate of any
seen in Bellefoute.
For general merchandise there is no
place in Bellefonte where you will find a
better all-around assortment than at the
big store of Lyon & Co. They carry every-
thing in the line of dry gools, dress goods,
ladies suits, shoes, novelties and even cloth”
ing. It ie an emporiam in which you can
buy a gifs for every member of the family.
Bat if it is shoes only you are looking
for, why not go at once to Yeager's shoe
store in the Bush Arcade. He has a line
that is always pleasing and fits easy to the
feet. The line he carries is as large and se-
lect as any in Ceatre county and yon will
have no trouble in making a suitable selec-
tion there.
O! course at Christmas time there is al-
ways a trend towards toys, books, eto., as
the most appropriate gift. If you are look.
iog for anything of this kind, The Index is
the place you want to go. Their line is
unsurpassed for toys, books and novelties
of all kinds. In fact it is one of the busiest
places in the town for Christmas shoppers.
Ol course The Index is not the only place
in Bellefonte where you can get something
nice, and one of the others is Green's Phar*
macy. There they have such a bewilder-
ing array of nice things that you will be
puzzled which to take, but always sure to
bay helore you leave the store. Their line
ie always right in style, quality and price.
Bat Christmas is not entirely a gilt-giv-
ing time. Everybody anticipates a big din-
ner on that day and, of course, in prepar-
ing it you will need groceries, eto. In
making your selection try Sechler & Co. or
R. 8. Brouse. You will be surs to get any-
thing you want, and the best at that, at
either place. For your Christmas bread,
cakes and candies the only place to go is
Ceader’s bakery. They have a full assors-
ment of everything so that you will have
no trouble in making a selection.
From present indications Christmas sea-
son will be cold and if you have a needy
friend who you wank to remember ina
way that will be appreciated send him a
load of coal. The kind to send you can
find out by consulting the advertisement
of Edward K. Rhoads in this issue. Bas if
your friend is a farmer and burns wood,
send him a set of harness from Sshofield’s
saddlery. That will be sure to please
him.
And finally, alter you have made all
your selections for friends at home send
the WATCHMAN to your friend at a dis.
tance and he or she will be the best sasis-
fied of all. May you all bave a Merry
Christmas.

CENTRE COUNTY TO BE REPRESENTED.
~Following the recent activities along the
line of fruit growing in our county, which
indeed is a master of importance to the in-
terests involved, there are arrangements
now being made to insure the greatest
measure of success 0 the movement.
Among other things proposed, it is expeot-
ed that a fine display of fruit will be sent
to the coming meeting of the State Horti-
cultural association which convenes at
Tankbaonook, Wyoming county, about the
middle of January. Great preparations
are being made to guarantee to those at-
tending one of she moet interesting sessions
ever held in the life of the association. Ex-
pert fruit growers will be there to help all
who are in need of such in their several
lines, it will be a rich treat to all who at-
tend. Many of the counties throughout
the State have signified their intention of
having a display of fine fruit there. It
will be an excellent opportunity for Centre
county to show herself as a possibility of a
fature fruit growing seotion. Let everyone
who can assist along this line get busy and
see or communicate with she president of the
Centre county Fruit Growers association,
Cyrus Brungart, of Centre Hall. He will
give further information. The next meet-
ing of she county association should be well
attended. Prof. R. L. Watts, of State Col-
lege Experiment station, will be the chief
speaker. Farther announcements later.

cape from being badly injored and perhaps
killed on Wednesday. He was assisting in
the unloading of she boilers for the beat-
ing plaut in she court house and teok hold
of the snub rope which was supposed to
hold the boiler. The rope had not been
properly snubbed and when the boiler
started to roll the colonel was notable to
bold it, and aside from that he was caughs

~——The long continued drought was
broken in part at least on Monday. After
a alight fall of snow and sleet on Sanday
night it begav raining on Monday morning
aud continued in a steady downpour all
day and late in the evening. While she
ground was frozen and probably did nos
take up as much water as it otherwise
would, all the streams in the county were
raised considerably. Spring creek had over
a two foot flood from normal level in this
place. In Baffalo Ran valley the water at
some points covered the tracks of the Belle-
foute Central railroad toa depth of eight
inches, but as there was no swils current
no damage was done. All she cisterns in
the county were filled up and farmers who
were beretofore compelled to haul water
five aud six miles for their stock now have
a good supply to last for some time so
come.
——The Bellefonte Academy and publio
eohools of Bellefonte will close lor the holi-
day vacation today. :
