——Potatoes sold in Bellefonte the past
week for forty cents and some merchants
are only offering thirty-five. There are
still thousands of bushels of potatoes in
Centre county, and the price will likely
go considerably lower. George Thomp-
son, at Alto, has one thousand bushels
that he would like to get rid of at a good
price while plenty of farmers have from
one to three hundred bushels.
——John VanPelt, of Barnesboro, has
been housed up the past week with a bul-
let hole through the fleshy part of his
right leg. He had a revolver in his hip
pocket and while sitting on a chair the
weapon slipped out of his pocket and
dropped to the floor. It struck on the
hammer and was discharged, the bullet

Meek. —The WATCHMAN last week con-
tained a brief notice of the death of
Dempster Lee Meek, which occurred at
his home at Waddle at 4.30 o'clock on
“Thursday evening after being confined to
the house only two weeks. He had been
| in failing health for two years or longer
and about a year ago had a very serious
illness which left him in a weakened
physical condition. Notwithstanding that
fact he looked after his farm affairs dur-
ing the year and it was only at the ur-
gent solicitation of his family that he
finally decided to give up active farming
and retire. The day before his public
sale he became ill and from the very first
he seemed to lose all interest in life
with the result that a general collapse
followed and he sank gradually until the
end, the last forty-eight hours of his life
being in an unconscious condition.
Mr. Meek was a son of Reuben H. and
Mrs. Mary Gray Meek and was born on
commissioner Samuel E. Showers, on
Wednesday evening, was quite a shock to
his many friends. While he had been a
sufferer with stomach trouble the past
year or more he was able to attend to his
duties and was at work on Tuesday. That

~—A pitiable story reached this office
this week of a mother and large family
of children living on Quaker hill who
were compelled to go three days last week
without a bite to eat while the husband
and father was away trying to find work.
It was only when their unfortunate con-
dition was discovered by a school teacher
who went to inquire after one of her
scholars that the family's condition was
discovered and relief supplied them. Oc.
curring almost in the heart of Bellefonte
the above case seems almost incredible
but it is true, neveitheless,and the proper
authorities should see that the family
have at least enough to eat.
