——A number of Bellefonters are plan-

——Farmers and orchardists in many
sections of Centre county report a very
small crop of apples, bux théy cannot be

| of eight cars and brought just 517 pec-
ple to town.
Five cars over the BeHefonte Central
brought over four hundred. Six cars
well filled came in over the Central Rail-
road of Pennsylvania while all the trains
over the Bald Eagle Valley railroad
brought in large crowds. The noon trains
also brought in large crowds. But the
crowd was not confined to those coming
in on the trains as hundreds drove in. In
fact the hitching grounds were crowded
as never before with rigs and it is a con-
servative estimate to place the crowd at
nine thousand people.
The stock exhibit this year is not as
large as in former years but the stock
that is there is all blooded and good to
look at. Among the exhibits is a car
load of choice cattle, sheep and hogs from
the experimental farm at State College,
while George Musser, of Boggs township,
has a number of Jersey cows and calves
on exhibition.
L. H. Musser, of this place, has one of
the largest exhibits of farm machinery
ever seen on the fair grounds. It in.
cludes almost every implement used on a
farm and some of it is operated by a gas
engine for the benefit of the farmer.
The fruit and vegetable exhibit is in a
building. In size it is about equal to that
of last year but in quality the apples,
peas, potatoes, corn, pumpkins, etc., ex-
cel those exhibited in former years, a
good evidence of the bountiful crops the
farmers have garnered this year.
The poultry house is filled from door
to door with chickens, turkeys, geese,
ducks, pigeons, rabbits and dogs; and as
all are superior breeds they make a very
nice exhibition.
But it is in the main exhibition build-
ing where the fair visitor becomes be.
wildered with the beautiful array of
multitudinous articles. Upon entering
the building the first exhibit to the right
with W. R. Brachbill next and a big dis-
play of musical instruments by J. M.
Bunnell, of Johnstown, following. On the
left are the piano exhibit of M. C. Gep-
hart; stoves, etc., by George Miller, hard-
ware by John Smith, of Spring Mills and
a completely equipped bath room by
Joseph Runkle, the plumber, of this place.
The only thing lacking in the latter to
make it entirely complete is running
water.
About one half the building is given
over to the ladies and school children,
and they have taken advantage of it to
the limit. Counters and show cases along
each side of the building and down
through the middle are entirely inadequate
to hold the exhibits and fancy work of
all descriptions, quilts, etc., are pinned on
the wall for better display.
The exhibit of drawing and mounted
insects, bugs and the like by the public
school children of Bellefonte is unusually
interesting. Another exhibit that has at-
tracted perhaps more than ordinary at-
tention isone of hand painted china and
leather work by Miss Nettie Haagan, of
Beech Creek. In design the work is en-
tirely original and its execution is very
artistic. The bread, pies, cake, canned
goods, jellies, wines, etc., exhibit is also
very large. The cne thing about the ex-
hibits throughout is that they are all
purely Centre countian, so that whatever
you see there you can give the people of
Centre county the credit of producing.
The only thing lacking in the fair, if it
can be thus termed, is that the field of
horses is not as large as was expected,
owing to the fact that many owners took
their racers to Altoona this week where
the firemen's convention is being held.
But at that the races both on Wednesday
and yesterday were interesting enough to
suit anybody. The summaries of Wed-
nesday’s races are as follows:
Special 2.14 trot or pace.
Time, 2.29, 2.28%.
The big free-for-all race today and the
county race will be the most interesting
track events of the week and you can't
afford to miss them, therefore don’t be a
stay-at-home today.

——Among the Lutheran ministers in
attendance at Synod here last week and
over Sunday was Rev. M. F. Cressman,
pastor of the Lutheran church at Lewis-
town. He was assigned by the Synod to
preach in the Methodist church on Sun-
| day morning and his sermon pleased the
| congregation very much. He took for
his theme “The Prodigal Son,” and al-
though the subject is one that has been
i the theme of hundreds and thousands of
sermons those who heard Rev. Cressman
| on Sunday declare that they never heard
| the parable more strongly or beautifully
portrayed. The members of the Luth-
| eran church of Lewistown are to be con- :
| gratulated indeed, upon their very able
and scholarly pastor.
——The painters and paper hangers
have completed the remodeling of the
old Brockerhoff residence on the corner
‘of Spring and Bishop streets and
lit is now ready to be refurnished.
The old furniture, which was in Philade!-
phia all summer being done over in ma-
hogany, was returned last week and dur-
ing the next few weeks the doctor will
be busy fixing things up so as to have
everything in shape upon the return of
his sister, Miss Mary Brockerhoff, who
will sail for home from Naples about the
first of November, after spending four
months abroad. The remodeled residence
is now one of the nicest and most com-
fortable in Bellefonte and will make a
beautiful home for Dr. and Miss Brock-
erhoff.
——From present indications it will be
only the very few in Bellefonte who will
be able to make both ends meet this
winter; in fact the most of us will do
well to make even the half of one end
meat, with pork selling live weight at 9
cents a pound, and dressed ready for the
butcher's block at 103 cents. The result
is the man who wants to eat pork will
have to pay 25 cents for steak, 22 cents
for sausage and chops, 20 cents for lard
and even 15 cents for liver, while hogs-
feet and hogs-head are now about as
high in price as chops and sausage were
two years ago. Beef, veal and mutton
are also selling at the highest mark they
ever reached in the knowledge of the
writer, so that is it any wonder that it
will only be the rich who can make both
ends meat.
~——Although the season for shooting
bear has been open one week there have
not been any killed or captured in Cen-
tre county so far as the writer has been
able to learn. The woodcock season is
also open but these birds are about as
plentiful in this section and easy (?) to
get as bear. In another week, however,
hunters will be more in their element,
for on Saturday of next week the season
will open for squirrel, quail, pheasant
and wild turkey. Just how plentiful
game is this season has not yet been de-
termined by Centre county hunters, but
plentiful or not, the open season will af-
ford an excuse for many a man tramping
miles through the woods, with a gun on
his shoulder and a measly dog trailing on
behind, while his wife cuts the kindling
to start the morning fire. On the first
day of the season one of the Furst boys
bagged ten woodcock near Cedar Springs,
in lower Nittany valley.
Among those who contributed to the
sale were the various merchants of Belle-
fonte, who made donations of new goods
from their shelves; to Mrs. Louisa Bush
who gave the room in the Bush Arcade
rent free; to the Bellefonte Electric com-
pany who furnished the light without
charge; to auctioneer L. F. Roan, of Le-
mont, who gave his services free in sell-
ing out at public vendue all the unsold
stuff on Saturday night. To the Ladies
Auxiliary of Centre Hall, and the ladies
of Millheim, Rebersburg and Aarons-
burg, for big boxes of clothing, etc., for
the sale. Of course everybody in Belle-
fonte and elsewhere who contributed to-
ward the sale or made cash contributions
come in for a share of the success.
The liberality with which the people
everywhere helped toward the stupen-
dous success of this sale has led the
Ladies Auxiliary to establish a “hospital
week” to be held every year about the
jast week in September and to this end ask
the aid of the people all over Centre
county. A good way to do will be to se-
cure a box now and during the year when
you have anything you don't want or are
willing to contribute toward the rum-
mage sale pack it in the box, and when
it is time for the sale next year send in
your box.
In addition to those who contributed
articles of various kinds for the sale the
Buckingham Cigar company, of York,
gave five hundred cigars which were sold
for $24.00; in their penny collection the
public schools of Bellefonte gave $16.75;
the primary school of the Bellefonte
Academy eighty cents and the parochial
school $1.50. The cash contributions
were as follows:
Gen. Beaver, $25.00: Mrs. Jos. K. Cass, Tyrone,
$10.00; Miss Cass, Tyrone, $10.00; Mrs. Harriet
Thomas Kurtz, $10; Mrs. J. L. Spangler, $5.00;
Wm. P. Humes, $5.00; Dr. J. M. Brockerhoff,
85.00; Mrs. Margaret Wilson, $5.00; Mrs. Frank
Warfield, $5.00; Mrs. John Blanchard, $5; Mrs.
Thomas Hayes, $2.00 Mrs. Claude Cook, Mrs. E.
F. Richard, Charles R. Kurtz each $1.00;
Mrs. Kern and Rev. Dice each 50cts., and Mrs.
D. Paul Fortney, 25cts., Father McArdle, $5.00
STREAMS ARE Low.—Notwithstanding
the fact that last month was one of the
rainiest Septembers we have had in years,
the rainfall in Centre county being con-
siderably above normal, all the streams
in Centre county are unusually low. In
fact they have almost the appearance of
a prolonged drought. This is especially
the case with Spring creek right here in
Bellefonte. During the day when the
flouring mill of Gamble, Gheen & Co. is
in operation very little water comes over
the falls above the WATCHMAN office.
And at night the flow is small owing to
the fact that Mr. Wagner is compelled
to confine all the water possible in the
dam above Roopsburg in order to have
power enough to operate the Brockerhoff
mill during the day. Of course if Spring
creek was not exceptionally low it would
not so easily show the effect of the water
used by the above two mills. And what
is true of Spring creek is the case toa
great extent of all the other streams in
the county. Fortunately the wells and
cisterns throughout the county are still
fairly well supplied so that farmers and
others are not suffering for the lack of
water. VL

—Capt. John R. Lemon, of Gatesburg, was in

what might happen to our friend Finkiestine, of
the 5 and 10ct store, when he set up his domicile
among all those good Reformeds out on Willow-
bank street, but on Monday night we saw him
with his neighbor Geo. Hazel, and actually George
was looking as orthodox as Jake. It was Rash
Hashana, you know, the Jewish New year, and a
very religious day among them, and George was
