GraANGERs HAVE BIG GATHERING AT

and the result is they have had a very

After the Republican meeting broke up
a brief grange meeting was held at which
members of that order very emphatically
maintained that the Grange was non-po-
litical and is not being used in any way
to further the aims of any political party.

that Mr. Speer’s condition was immense-
ly improved. That he suffered very little
pain, was able to eat and drink with a
certain degree of comfort and that the
doctor gave him assurance of a complete
cure, although he will have to remain
there several weeks longer.
——Nothing in which there is no pro-
gress thrives. Accordingly the managers
of the Great Centre County Fair try to
make each year's exposition a little better
than the precedingone. Next month you
will see the 1910 result and be surprised
because the people are interested, the ex-
hibitor finds it quite worth while and the
variety and class of the exhibits is show-
ing a most healthy growth. If pushed a
little now the Centre County Fair will be
come a great and permanent institution.
——0ld Neptune has certainly been
worked overtime the last few weeks in
keeping up the supply for the numerous
rains we have had. There is noth-
ing in Centre county suffering this year
because of dry weather and the only
problem confronting the farmers now is
the question of too much rain, as the con-
tinued wet weather may start the pota-
toes to rotting, or maybe second growth.

though that event will occur on Wednes-
day of next week when Summer will end
and Autumn begin.

—Several weeks ago the WATCHMAN
published an item relative to the exhibit
of Miss Mary McGarvey at the National
Photographer's association convention
last year, when her character study pic-
tures attracted unusual! attention from
some of the best photographic artists in
the country. Her exhibitions this year
were study pictures of Miss Louisa Mait-
land, of Williamsport, and the work in
every detail was considered so good that
her picture was one of a half dozen re-
produced and published in the magazine
section of Sunday's North American, with
the following comment: “Mary E. Mc-
Garvey, of Bellefonte, Pa., is accomplish-
ing in an inland town work of such ad-
| mirable standard that the old reproach
| that the average American could neither
| produce nor appreciate art seems destined
to speedy oblivion.” That this tribute to
Miss McGarvey's ability is justly deserved
is fully proven by the fact that she has
been requested to send five prints for en-
try in an exhibition of American art
photography to be held at Berlin, Ger-
many, in the near future.
FATS AND LEANS TO PLAY Base-
BALL.—As a benefit for the Bellefonte
baseball association. in an endeavor to
raise money to liquidate the indebtedness
of the association, the Fats and Leans of
Bellefonte have arranged to play a series
of three games for the local champion-
ship. Though the teams have not yet
been entirely made up, so far as signing
players are concerned, the fact can be an-
nounced that Frank Naginey will be man-
ager of the Fats with John Curtin and J.
Mac Heinle as the battery, while the Leans
will have for their manager Harry Otto
and as a battery have Dr. David Dale and
Rash Irvin. Frank P. Blair has been se-
lected as the official umpire for the series.
The first game will be played on Hughes
field this (Friday) afternoon at 2:30
o'clock; the second game will be played
next Tuesday and the third game on Fri-
day of next week. Any fat or lean man
in Bellefonte is eligible for a position on
the team if he can play ball, and if he
is good at the latter it will not make
any difference how fat or how lean he
is. Don't miss these games because they
will be worth seeing.
A’ MiracuLous Escape.—Yesterday
morning Dr. David Dale was summoned
!to see a sick person living on the hill
ries. He was going up the road which is
steep and rough, in his automobile when
in some way he stalled his engine. The
machine started backwards down the hill
and when the doctor attempted to apply
the brakes they failed to hold the car.
The car gained speed and being unable to
guide it accurately it left the road and
backed over the edge of a high embank-
ment. Fortunately the machine passed
under a tree one limb of which hung very
low and the doctor grabbed this and
swung free of the car expecting the same
instant to hear it go crashing to the bot"
tom. Instead it moved a foot or two fur-

| WHo Fixep (?) THE CLock.—Theques-
tion of who tampered with the clock in
the new High school house last Sunday
| night is still a mooted one, as the school
board, at their regular meeting on Mon-
| day evening, were not able to secure suf-
| ficient evidence to clearly solve the prob-
lem. The inquiry on Monday evening
| admitted entering the school house and
| stopping the clock, but denied all respon-
German methods of meat and milk in- | sibility for damage done thereto.
i ap Tou tn. an
So far as the board could learn on Mon-
| day evening the bells began to ring about
ten o'clock. They were heard by various
| persons living in that neighborhood and
their ringing attracted the attention of
almost everyone who passed by the build- |
ing. It was probably about 10:30 o'clock
ion his way home and found a small!
crowd collected in front of the school
| house talking about the ringing of the
bells and it seemed to be the general opin-
ion that something ought to be done to
stop the noise.
It was finally decided to remove the big
gong in front and Hayes being the tallest
man in the crowd, was the only one able |
to reach it. He removed the gong, but
there still being a buzzing noise he tore
one of the wires loose. This stopped the
front gong, but the one in the rear kept
ringing as usual. An investigation showed
that it was too high up toget at, so Hayes
he entered the building through the boys’
toilet and making his way to the superin-
tendent’s room stopped the clock by stop-
ping the pendulum. This he admits and
there was no evidence to show anything
different. In fact it is quite certain that
the tape was broken or removed from
the program clock at ten o'clock, and
there is a belief among the directors that
the damp weather effected the tape and
that it broke of its own accord, which ac-
counted for the ringing of the bells.
After all the evidence or information
on the subject that could be obtained was
heard, Dr. Locke, president of the school
board, suggested that some action be tak-
en to either hold Hayes responsible or ex-
onerate him of all blame and Mr. Fortney
introduced a resolution that he be exon"
erated. There were eight members of
the board present and four voted in favor
of the resolution and four against it, so
that it was laid on the table, and the ques-
tion of who fixed (?) the clockisas much
a mystery as ever.
A Goop PASTORAL YEAR.—On Sunday
Rev. C. W. Winey, of the United Breth-
ren church, will close his pastoral year
in this place and next Tuesday will leave
for the annual conference which will be
held in Braddock. "he past year has
been one of the most successful in the
history of the church in this place, all
due to Rev. Winey’s indefatigable labors,
and his congregation, as well as many
friends outside of his church, hope he
will be returned for the ensuing year,
which he undoubtedly will. The first
thing the reverend undertook when he
came here was to improve his immediate
surroundings and this he did by digging
out the weeds and making a nice lawn
around the parsonage and the congrega-
tion joined with him to help along the
improvements and as a result a new
walk was put down in front of the par-
sonage and cement steps built to the
church. A bathroom outfit was installed
in the parsonage and electric light intro-
duced. In addition to his regular work
during the year Rev. Winey had forty
baptisms, ten marriages and twenty fun-
erals. In addition to raising money to
pay his own salary and the incidental ex-
penses of the church and Sunday school
as well as benevolent contributions he
succeeded in liquidating a debt of $912.94
for the entire year on the parsonage.
But last Sunday was perhaps the Red
Letter day of the year. There was a
debt of $730 on the church and this he
undertook to liquidate. Through his un-
tiring efforts he raised enough money to
do so and on Sunday evening the mort-
gage was burned in the presence of the
congregation, so that the new year will
begin with everything free of any encum-
brance.
ORCHARD INsSPECTIONS.—Foliowing out
the line of work in the model orchard in-
spections, spraying, etc., Prof' H. A. Sur-
face has outlined another month's cam-
paign throughout the State for the pur-
pose of ascertaining how much good, if
any, has been done in the orchards in
which spraying was done under the ad-
vice and directions of experts from the di-
vision of zoology, department of agricul-
ture. In the month following September
15th seventy-five orchards in various coun-
ties of the State will be visited and in-
spected, and of this number three are lo-
cated in Centre county. They, with the
dates on which they will be inspected, are
as follows :
Friday, September 23rd, on the farm of
Benjamin Limbert, near Madisonburg.
Saturday, September 24th, on the farm
of Col. W. Fred Reynolds, in Benner town-
ship.
Monday, September 26th, on the farm
of George R. Mock, near Philipsburg.
On these occasions at least two or more
experts will be present to make the in-
spection and one line of the work will be
to make a comparison between the fruit
grown in orchards where spraying has
been systematically done and that in ad.
jacent orchards in the same vicinity where
no\ spraying was done. Fruit growers,

LAYING OF CORNER STONE.—The cor-
ner stone of the new St. Paul's Methodist
Episcepal church at State College will be
laid on Sunday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock

church is more than local in character.
Prof. F. L. Pattee, who has lately return-
ed from a year's sojourn in Europe, will
deliver a short address, while there will
be music by the College quartette. The
entire hour's program which has been
arranged will be interesting and profit

expected that the edifice will be under
roof in the early fall.

—Dr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Hayes expect to
leave Bellefonte the latter part of this month for
Atlantic City. The doctor some time ago took an
option on a nice home there which he has decided
to buy and will close the deal before going down.

their permanent home in the future and will sel}
their residence on north Allegheny street, this
place, as soon as they can get a purchaser. While
Dr. and Mrs. Hayes have spent only the summer
months in Bellefonte for some years past they
have always been regarded as belonging to Eelle-
i fonte and theirdecision to leave the town for good
i is cause for deep regret by all their friends.
