——Between two and three o'clock yes-
terday morning the house occupied by
David Shawley and family, of Axe Mann,
was entirely destroyed by fire. The only
things the family were able to save were
a bureau, several chairs, some bed clothes
and part of their own clothing. The house
and contents were mostly cevered by in-
surance. How the fire originated is a
mystery. :

gregation while the Academy has been
playing a winning game all season.

SHERIFFS AND DEPUTY SHERIFFS TO
BanqQuET.—Centre county has probably a
greater number of ex-sheriffs and their
deputies living than any other county in
the State and they have decided on hold-
ing a reunion and banquet at the Haag
hotel on Wednesday of next week, (Wash-
ington’s birthday) February 22nd. Col.
H. S. Taylor is chairman of the commit-
tee of arrangements and he has sent out
invitations to all the men who served the
county in the above capacity. Of course
it is yet too early to state how many will
be present but there will be enough to
assure an interesting gathering and a
good time for all. The list of ex-sheriffs
of Centre county and their deputies still
living is as follows:
Sheriffs: D. W. Woodring, Bellefonte;
| Benjamin Schaeffer, Nittany; T. J. Dun-

——Already the fans of the town are
wondering if there will be a Bellefonte
baseball team the coming season. Of
course there is still a debt hanging over
last year's team, but that will make little
difference to the average mortal. There
are lots of people already agitating a
team for the coming season who never
paid a dollar toward last year's team. If
Bellefonte is to have a team the coming
season everybody should take an interest
in it and see that it is properly financed. |
That is the only way of assuring success.

the centre of the table; and when they
learned that the cake had been baked by
Ceaders in Bellefonte and sent there es-
| pecially for that occasion they were as
much delighted as they were surprised,
because they knew that they were going
to get a taste of something from home.
The menu from the salt oyster cock-
tail to the coffee and cigars was a very
palatable one and every course was dis-
cussed with a relish which showed that
though living in Philadelphia the old
Centre countians had not lost their ap-
petites by any means. During the ban-

Goob ROADS TRAIN IN BELLEFONTE.—
The good roads train run jointly by the
Pennsylvania railroad, The Pennsylva-
nia State College and the State Highway
Department spent several hours in Belle-
fonte yesterday and the large number of
supervisors and farmers who came to
town to see and hear is evidence that
they are anxious to learn all they can
about road making. The train is made
up of six cars. Two flat cars are loaded
with the most modern road making ma-
chinery, from a metal road drive to a
high powered stone crusher and screen-
ing machine. One car is fitted upas a
lecture car in which stereopticon views
are shown, another car is for lectures
without the views, and a regular passen-
ger car and a diner complete the train.
Dean John Price Jackson, of State Col-
lege, is in charge of the train and after
everybody had inspected the exhibit there
the crowd went to the court house where
a meeting was held and a number of ad-
dresses made. Among the superviosrs
who appeared especially interested in the
machinery exhibit was John Grove, of
Benner township.
For EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF GOOD
Roaps—Senator Sproul, of Delaware
county,on Wednesday introduced a bill in
the State Senate,which has the approval of
| the borough limits with the road between
Deputy sheriffs: L. T. Munson and | Bejjefonte and Milesburg. During the
L. A. Schaeffer, Bellefonte; W. J. Duke- |
Governor Tener, providing for an exten- |
sive system of state roads all through the
State. The plan is to build main high-
ways radiating from each county seat
and those routes in which Centre coun-
tians are interested are as follows:
From Bellefonte to Lewistown across
the Seven mountains; from Bellefonte to
Lock Haven via the Bald Eagle valley;
from Bellefonte to Huntingdon via the
of court which will begin on February Bald Eagle vailey, Tyrone and down along
27th will not be a very busy one. The the Juniata; from Bellefonte to Clearfield
criminal list is one of the smallest dock- ' via the Bald Eagle valley to Port Matiida,
eted for some time and, while there are thence across the mountain to Philips-
plenty of civil cases for trial it is quite burg. Another route is from Woodward

of them will be either settled or contin- important route not mentioned and which

es. And so far there is no indication of
wear on any part of the road. It is true
that an asphalt road costs a little more
than the all limestone road but it is well
worth the difference.
——The several dealers in Bellefonte
are anxiously wondering what the auto-
mobile business will be like the coming
season, but it is still a little early to get
anything llke an accurate line on it. Sev-
eral men in this place have announced
their intention of buying new machines
while one dealer avers that a number of
farmers are becoming interested which
will probably result in several sales, so
that the prospect is about on a par with
that of former years. One thing in fa-
vor of the business is that so far as now
known all present owners will keep their
machines and what new ones may be
brought to this place and vicinity will
naturally help the business to a certain
extent.
——The recent district quarterly meet-
ing of the Free Methodist church, Tyrone
district, which convened at Bellefonte,
appointed a committee consisting of the
ministers of the Tyrone district for the
purpose of securing a suitable grove for
holding their annual camp meeting. The
committee after visiting Philipsburg was
successful in securing the Atheltic park
at that place for the location of the camp-
their annual camp meeting there August
2nd to 9thinclusive, 1911. Rev. Simpson,
of the Genessee conference, will be pres-
ent to assist the workers of the district.
The meeting throughout will be in charge
of Rev. A. J. Hill, the district elder of
Tyrone district.
——In anticipation of the lenten sea-
son Bellefonte's continued social gayeties
this week include: Mrs. Andrew Cook's
dinner and flinch party Saturday; Miss
day afternoon, in honor of her house
guest, Miss Boyd, of Williamsport; Mrs.
Frank Warfield’s Valentine party, from
three to six o'clock the same afternoon;
Miss Mary McGarvey's evening with’
! and the dining room of the hotel were
very tastefully decorated for the occasion,
the national colors being much in evi-
dence, while the tables were lavishly
spread with all good things to eat that
a hungry man or woman might crave.
One hundred and twenty guests were
present and after the menu had been satis-
factorily discussed W. H. Fry was elected
toast-master. In his prefatory remarks
he told something of the history of
the council since it was institut.
ed sixteen years ago. They now have
$1,400 in their treasury and have always
paid $100 funeral benefits on all deceased
members. Prof. White, Rev. J. C. Shultz
and others responded briefly to toasts. It
was after twelve o'clock when everybody
was thoroughly satisfied and the ban-
quet hall was deserted.
MILLING SCHOOL FOR STATE COLLEGE.
—A milling engineering school is to be
inaugurated at State College just as soon
as a suitable building can be erected and
equipped. The latter will be done by the
Pennsylvania State Miller's association
and in behalf of the project a committee
composed of the following members of
the association visited the College on
Tuesday: Col. Asher Miner, of Wilkes
Barree; James Elliott, of Elliottstown;
Landis Levan, of Lancaster; John M.
Hayes, Williamsport; Albert Spanogle,
Lewistown, and H. V. White, Bloomsburg.
The new school will be connected with
the department of engineering and will
be maintained solely for the purpose of
educating young men to become practic-
al millers. The location of the mill has
been practically decided upon and the
building will be built this summer so as
to have it in shape to receive students
next September. A mill of about fifty
barrels per day will be erected but no at-
tempt will be made to manufacture for
commercial purposes. :

A FARM THAT PAYs.—Everybody in
lower Bald Eagle valley knows all about
the Crider farm, located in Liberty town-
ship, about a mile west of Blanchard, but

by F. W. Crider, of this place, and is

“PAID IN FuLL” ComiNG.—For local
play-goers the treat of the season comes
next when Eugene Walter's drama of
New York life of to-day, "Paid in Full,”
will be presented at the opera house on
Friday evening, February 24th. Not to

time is to confess one’s self uninformed
as to the exceptional features of the
American stage; not to have seen it is to
be outside the three million persons who
had witnessed its many performances up
| to the end of last season. It is singularly
| life-like and of engressing interest. Those
; who have seen it are its most enthusiastic
admirers; those who have not will surely
welcome this opportunity. It will be
acted by a splendid company and every
detail of the performance will be precisely
the same as in New York. Prices 25cts.
to $1.00.
