At the December meeting Mrs. G- oF om SHULTZ—REESEZ.— On Wednesday of | last week quite a pretty wedding took | place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. W.

Dr. | Kelley, of Sunbury, in the presence of | The attend- Philipsburg, and Bessie Lansberry, of | Unionville, as bridesmaids, and Samuel Port Matilda, as best man. Mrs, honor and Miss Sarah Stott, of Philips- | burg, played the wedding march. Imme- | diately following the ceremony and con- gratulations a wedding breakfast was served the bridal couple and the guests present. The bride is one of Port Matilda's best known and most popular young women, as was attested by the large number of valuable and very useful wedding pres- ents she received. During the past five years she has been one of the most suc- cessful school teachers in the upper Bald Eagle valley. The bridegroom is agent for the Pennsylvania railroad at Port Matilda and a worthy young man in every way. There is a romantic co-incidence in connection with the marriage of these two young people that is worthy of narration. Mr. Shultz was formerly of Philipsburg and is a great grandson of John G. Shultz, a native of lower Saxony. The bride is a great grand daughter of John Christian Reese, who was horn at Hesse Castle, Scotland. Both Mr. Shultz and Mr. Reese came to this country and fought in the Revolutionary war. In 1794 they joined Hardman Philips and twelve other pioneers who came to Centre coun- ty and established a colony where the town of Philipsburg now stands. At that time the country was only a wilderness, infested with Indians and wild animals, but the brave pioneers cleared the ground, built themselves homes and laid the foundation for the beautiful town over the mountain. One hundred and seventeen years have elapsed since that time and now the two families have again been united through the marriage of their great grand-children. If they live : the sterling, courageous life of their great grand-sires, their marriage should prove a blessed union. ——For District Attorney vote for J. M.

The bride wore a gown of white satin massaline and carried a bouquet of white chrysan- ter, Miss Mabel Long, as bridesmaid, while Gross Shook, of Franklin and Marshall College, a brother of the bride- groom, was best man. A wedding break- fast followed the ceremony after which Mr. and Mrs. Shook took their departure for a wedding trip through New York State.

Adv HamiLr HoLmes' NARROW ESCAPE — On Wednesday night of last week Hamill Holmes, of State College, had what might be termed a hair-breadth escape from a horrible death. He was down Pennsval- | ley in his brother's Ford runabout and | was returning home after dark. About: a mile above Linden Hall there are two ' driveways in the road, one of which is! | ants were Misses Margaret Stott, of | from three to four feet higher than the other one. Mr. Holmes was running along | on the high drive way and ata curve in the | road met two buggies, one occupied by ' | Amos Koch, of Boalsburg, and the other | Hall. He turned | out to allow the two vehicles to pass and | got too close to the edge of the bank, which gave way and Mr. Holmes and his | machine went down over the bank, the latter turning turtle and landing on top , of the driver, pinning him fast beneath. ' The tumble of the machine did not ex-' tinguish the tail light which quickly burn- ed into a flame from the oil in the over- turned lamp. In the meantime Mr. Koch and Mr. Smith went to Mr. Holmes’ res- cue and succeeded in raising the machine sufficiently to allow him to crawl out. They then started for a neighboring house to get buckets of water to extin- guish the fire started by the tail lamp and had not gone fifteen steps when the gasoline tank blew up with a terrific ex- plosion and in an instant the whole car was a mass of flames. With buckets of water the men finally managed to extin- guish the fire but not before the uphol- stering, top and rear tires were burned and all the wood work badly charred. The explosion of the tank is explained by the fact that when the car upset the gas- oline leaked out of the vent in the top of the tank and coming in contact with the air formed a vapor and gas which caught fire from the tail lamp and communicat- ing to the tank exploded. Mr. Holmes escaped with a few slight scratches and burns on two fingers of his right hand, but had the accident happen- ed when no one was near torelease him, or the tank exploded two minutes sooner he would have been incinerated alive Naturally he is thanking fate for his safe deliveranceand vowing that the next time he drives a strange road at night he will be careful to know where he is going when he turns to the side of the road. The working parts of the machine were by J. C. Smith, of Centre | very little hurt as it was later run to this place for repair under its own power. ——————— con + m— REUNICN OF THE FORTY-NINTH.—A num- ' ber of old soldiers of Centre county went to Port Royal, Perry county, yesterday to attend the annual reunion of the For- ty-ninth Pennsylvania volunteers which will be held there today. This was one of the bravest of the many Pennsylvania regiments and the members thereof saw much hard fighting during their term of service. The mortality list among the survivors is probably less than that of any regiment in the war. Since the last annual gather- ing at Gettysburg, there have been but nine deaths. The Forty-ninth was dubbed the “Fighting Boys in Blue” because of the warlike qualities of its members. The first colonel was William Irvin, of Lewis- town, who was killed at the battle of Spottsylvania, when sixty-seven members were killed, 171 wounded and eight taken prisoners, out of a total membership of 474 men. Col. Irvin was succeeded by Thomas Hulings, of Lewistown. During the entire Civil war 1597 men enlisted in the Forty-ninth. Out of this | contagious diseases, twenty-nine were taken prisoners and nineteen died in pris- ' on, making a total loss of 806 men. The Forty-ninth belonged to the Sixth corps and today 348 of the original number survive, they being scattered in twenty different States in the Union. R.

AN INTERESTING STATEMENT OF PACTS. To The Voters of Bellefonte:— When you go to the primaries next Sat- urday it may be well to ponder over the following facts. The assessed valuation of all the real estate of Bellefonte borough for 1911 is $1,515,585.00. Of that amount there is assessed in the names of women, $497, 465.000, or nearly one-third of the total. There are to be nominated and elected this fall ward and borough officers, as follows: OFFICERS. LENGTH OF TERM. EqQuiva- LENT TO One 3 udges of Election, 2 years, S years. 8 Constables, 4 years, 12 years. 3 Councilmen, 4 years, 12 years. 2 Overseers of the Poor, 4 years, 8 years. 1 Auditor, 4 years, 4 years. 1 Auditor. 2 years, 2 years. 1 School Director. 6 years, 6 years. 3 Se Am To ors, 1 High Constable, 2 years, 2 years. ‘This is equivalent to one person in office 76 yrs. The women of the town are asking for two members of the school board for of the offices to be filled this fall. Would it not be manly, to say nothing of justice and right, for us to concede one-nineteenth of the offices to the wom- en who pay one-third of the taxes. The women of Bellefonte and of every other community are just as vitally interested in the welfare of the people as are the men. Their interests are mutual. Ex- perience has shown, too, that in money matters women, taken as a whole, are the more careful and make a dollar go the farthest. Women, too, devote more time, thought and effort than men to the upbuilding of the moral and religious side of life, as witness the church and prayer meeting attendance. Going to school nowadays is strenuous business for the boys and girls and many pupils owe their good marks to their ever willing mothers whose help and sympathy and vigilance hold them to their studies after school hours. For these and other good reasons the writer firmly believes we would do well to heed the request of the women of Bellefonte and nominate and elect with- out opposition Mrs. Brouse and Mrs. Gilmour, both property owners and both sensible, intelligent women of good judg- ment. A VOTER. THE CIVIC CLUB'S ENDORSEMENT OF THE WOMEN CANDIDATES. At a meeting of the Civic club, recent- ly held, enthusiustic approval was given of the movement to place women on our public school boards. In presenting the cause to the Club addresses were made by several of the ladies and we herewith ' take pleasure in publishing the nomina- ting speech which presented the name of Mrs. Brouse. At the same time we regret that we do not have a copy of that by which Mrs. Gilmour was presented to the Club. Convinced that a woman is more sen- sitive to the needs and comforts of a child and quicker to recognize the short- comings of its environments, we have conscientiously undertaken to place be- fore the men of our town, at the election in November, two women who will rep- resent us, for two years, on the five mem- board of directors of our Public Schools. A careful consideration of the ualifications has led our wom- en to unanimously choose from the West ve, Mrs. lived her | in its public through her children identified with chil- ti Harper Brouse, who having in Bellefonte, was educa schools; in charge of the Primary t church for twenty years.
