——On their way down to the busi-
ness men’s picnic on Tuesday the Tvrene
band stopped off in Bellefonte and gave a
twenty minute concert in the Diamond,
On their march down to the Central Rail
road of Pennsylvania depot they stopped
in front of the WATCHMAN office and
played several pieces. Mr. Sausser was
the man in charge of the band and he
had every reason to feel proud of the
music rendered. Their playing®both in
Bellefonte and at the picnic was excel
lent and the people of Tyrone are to be
congratulated on having such a fine mu-
sical organization.
——The Woman's Civic club, of Belle-
fonte intend taking a hand in politics this
fall, and if they can’t vote themselves
they will do what they can in securing
votes for some of their members. In
other words, they intend putting up two
lady candidates for school director in
Bellefonte and, although their selection
has not yet been made public the candi-
dates have been picked and nomination
papcrs will be filed at the proper time,
One of the proposed candidates is a resi-
dent of the North ward and one of the
West ward. They will run for either the
two or four years’ term. If the members
of the club prove as successful in their
political venture as they have in some

lished in the Pittsburg papers in effect
that Samuel H. Williams had been ap"
pointed postmaster of Bellefonte and his
appointment had been confirmed by the
Senate on Saturday. Later the news was
confirmed in telegrams to H. C. Quigley
Esq., and Mr. Williams from Congressman
Charles E. Patton.
The Bellefonte postoffice situation had
been hanging fire so long that it was
hardly given a thought by the general pub-
lic, though Mr. Williams’ supporters had
never relaxed their efforts in his behalf.
Mr. Harter's term of four years expired
on February 28th, 1911, and a few days
before that time Mr. Williams’ name was
recommended by Congressman Barclay
for the postmastership. The appoint-
ment was held up and later Mr. Williams’
name was withdrawn and Mr. Harter
recommended for re-appointment. How-
ever, he was never confirmed by the Sen-
ate and so the matter stood untiliMr.
Williams’ appointment on Saturday.
Mr. Williams will take charge as post-
master as soon as he gets his commission:
which will probably be within a week, as
he received official notice yesterday and
a request to file his bond.

——The business men’s picnic is over
and the people of Bellefonte will not have
that to look forward to, but they have
the Scenic every evening. It is always
open and always interesting, with the lat-
est and best pictures obtainable. Man-
ager Brown is just as careful and con-
scientious in his management now as he
was when he first took charge of this
popular motion picture show, and %this is
one of the reasons why it is crowded
~The county commissioners have is-
sued a pamphlet containing “Information
for candidates and dates to remember for
primary election,” but probably the most
important information it contains is a full
list of all the borough and township offi-
cers to be elected in the county, with the
number of years their term will run

for free distribution in the various elec-
tion precincts, and they should be con-
sulted by office seekers generally.
——Rev. Ezra H. Yocum will go to
Harveyville, Luzerne county, tomorrow
where he will preach the Sunday morn-
ing sermon at the Patterson Grove camp-
meeting. Harveyville was Rev. Yocum's
first charge when he was ordained to the
ministry and at that time he preached
in two churches and five school houses,
seven appointments in all. He has al-
ways had a warm feeling for the place
and people and this year will be the thir-
teenth consecutive year that he has
preached the Sunday morning sermon
at the Patterson Grove campmeeting. In
his absence from Bellefonte Rev. C. C.
Shuey will have charge of all the services
in the Methodist church.
——The thirty-eighth annual encamp-
ment and exhibition of the Patrons of
Husbandry of Central Pennsylvania will
open at Grange park, Centre Hall, two
weeks from tomorrow, September Oth.
Thirty-eight years ago the Grangers of
Centre county decided to unite and hold
a big picnic on Nittany mountzin. It
proved such a pleasant gathering that it
was voted to make it an annual event.
For a number of years thereafter the
picnic was held at various places in the
county until finally the grove near the
Old Fort was selected as the most suita-
ble and centrally located place. There
the Grangers met until the present
grounds, Grange park, were purchased
about twenty years ago and that has been
the permanent meeting place ever since.
And now everybody in Centre county
knows what the Granger’s picnic means,
and everybody tries to get there for at
least a portion of the week. And the
management promises that this year’s
gathering shall be just as big and just as
good as ever.

——"“The meanest kind of stinginess,”
is the way one of our local contempora-
ries characterized the action of the Bell
Telephone company of Pennsylvania in
refusing to continue giving the Bellefonte
hospital free telephone service. The oc-
casion has never yet occurred, perhaps,
but if an employee or official of that com-
pany gots sick or injured, the hospital
authorities would not stop a minute to
inquire whether it was against the inter-
state commerce law to take them in for
treatment, but would open the door to
them at once. Of course, this is the dif-
ference in the management of the tele-
phone company and the management of
the hospital. And that is the reason why |
the borough authorities ought to get busy
and cut out the free franchise business.
The company uses the streets and alleys
of Bellefonte almost as it sees fit, and in
many instances to the unsightliness of the

As in former years the Central Railroad
of Pennsyivania handled the large crowd
comfortably and all on good time. The

UNDINE FIRE COMPANY GETS A PRIZE.—
| At the annual convention of the Central
Pennsylvania District Firemen’s associa-
tion held in DuBois last Wednesday and
Thursday the Undine fire company of
Bellefonte was awarded the prize for the
| company traveling the greatest distance,
and just narrowly missed getting the
prize for the best looking company. They
| had with them the Curwensville band
jand it took second prize.
The convention decided to meet next
year in Houtzdale and the following offi-
cers were elected: President, A. H. Rum-
berger, Houtzdale; first vice president,
John Devar, Windber; second vice presi-
