| not hurt the town the Street committee
made by Jim Murray at the last meeting
of council that his pigs were a nuisance
that ought to be abated. He alleged that

advised to keep his hog-pen and yard |
clean and his pigs out of Murray’s garden
and then he would be on the safe side.
Joe Bryan came into council with a
complaint against the street commissioner, |

tee of the Woman's Club that council re-
move all the dirt and debris collected

Inasmuch as there was a unanimity of
sentiment that a little cleaning up would
was instructed to remove the collection,
so now you don’t need to hesitate in
cleaning house, or rather cleaning yard
and garden.
At the last meeting of council Mr. F.
W. Crider asked permission to have a
meter put on Crider's Exchange and the
stone building so that he could pay for
just the amount of water used. The
Water committee, to whom the matter
was referred, did not care to assume the
responsibility of a recommendation and
reported that they preferred leaving it to
the action of council and after consider-
able discussion it was concluded that the
resolution passed in April in effect that
all meters were to be removed from pri-
vate residences covered the matter and
that no further action was necessary.
Residents of east Lamb street pre-
sented a well signed petition asking that
that thoroughfare be putin a fit condition
for driving. “The matter was referred to
the Street committee.

PECULIAR DISAPPEARANCE OF FORMER
CENTRE COUNTIAN.—On Wednesday of
former Centre county boy and a brother
Brown is just as enterprising and desirous | 260 married to Miss Lamena
' of pleasing the people of Bellefonte as he
is in his selection of pictures for their en-
tertzinment, and everybody who attends
the Scenic knows whata high-class place
itis. There never was another like.
Bellefonte and there are no superiors a
where. Watch for the special feature
films to be shown in the near future
they'll be worth seeing.
—W. J. Mosier, the dalrywiin of east
| Lamb ‘street, has what is probably
prize field of alfalfa in Centre county. He
cut his first crop of the season last week
and on a field of about three acres the
alfalfa averaged from four to four and a
half feet in heightand was unusually well
set. While he has been growing alfalfa
the past several years this season's crop
. | was not only the largest in acreage but
the best yield by far of any he has yet
grown. Mr. Musser considers alfalfa the
equal if not the superior of any hay crop
grown, and as it makes excellent forage
after the main crop has been cut and
housed he thinks it just the kind of a crop
- | to grow on a dairy farm. Farmers through-
out the county might profit from Mr.
Musser’s experience.
Wednesday and Thursday of Hest
week are the clean-up days the Village
Improvement committee of the Woman's
Club have set for Bellefonte. How is the
property you occupy? While it may be
as clean as the average is there not some
refuse lying around that ought to be raked
up and burned; or some unsightly ash
piles to be hauled away? and how are
the weeds in your yard and garden or
along the fences ? Nothing is so unsightly
as a rank growth of weeds where there
ought to be vegatables, vines or flowers ?
If there are any around your premises
won't you make a general clean-up of
them as well as of your gutters and other
surroundings ? You'll appreciate it as well
as everybody else in town.
