These animals can be hunted until the first of January. ——The Ithaca Conservatory of Music concert company gave a very enjoyable entertainment in the Lutheran church on | Tuesday evening. ——The venerable Steel Hunter is very ill at his home on south Allegheny street | so serious that all the members of his | family have been called home. | ——A Board of Trade was organized | in Philipsburg the latter part of last week and now the progressive citizens of that i place are going to start out on a cam- paign to boom the town. ! ———While helping Harry Heverley' butcher, on Saturday, Thomas Furl, an aged resident of Beech Creek, was strick- en with paralysis and is in a serious con- dition at his home in that place. ——Thomas A. Shoemaker entertained | Father Kennedy, the eminent Catholic | Missioner; Father O'Hanlon, of State College, and a number of friends at din- | ner at the Country club on Tuesday. i ——As evidence of the approach of winter the storm doors were put up at the Bush house entrance on Monday and on Tuesday storm windows were put up at the exchange of the Bell Telephone | company. ——Rev. LeRoy Baker, general mis- sionary of the Harrisburg diocese of the Episcopal church, will preach in St John's Episcopal church at the usual hour on Sunday morning. Members of the congregation are urged to attend and the public in general are invited. ——Work on the new Presbyterian church at State College is progressing finely. The building will soon be under | roof and if everything goes right it will be ready for the painters and decoc- rators by the first of February, and fin- ished for dedication early in the summer. | ~——H. N. Meyer, who since coming to Bellefonte has occupied the Bayard home on Spring street, moved from there Thursday, into the home on High street, vacated by W. A. Ishler, Mr. Ishler hav- ing moved his family the fore-partof the week into their new house on east Bish- op street. ——A little son was born to Dr. and Mrs. John M. Keichline, of Petersburg, last week. Dr. Keichline is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Keichline, of this place, and all his Bellefonte friends will be interested in the fact that he is again a father. The young son will be christ- ened Samuel. ~——William Hamilton, of Penn street, has purchased the James Caldwell prop- erty on Burrows street and will move there within a week. Walter Fulton has rented the house occupied by Mr. Hamil- ton and family and will move there next week from the home they now occupy on east Lamb street. ——On and after January 1st, 1913, W. Harrison Walker, Esq., will occupy the suite of reoms in the south side of the Masonic Temple, intending to move there from his present offices on High street. In his new location he will have a suite of three large rooms, well lighted and ventilated, convenient and comfortable in every way. ——The WATCHMAN is indebted to Mr. W. I. Fleming, of the Secretary of State Department at Harrisburg, for a copy of the complete official returns of the last election, printed and bound in pamphlet form,—an exceedingly handy tittle document to have about a printing office and for which Mr. Fleming has our sincere thanks. ——Harry Harper has given up the management of the Lyric theatre to re- turn to his trade as a machinist. The Lyric will for a time at least be under the management of Mr. Brandman, the owner of the building. The show was opened on Tuesday evening with a spe- cial program of pictures and an orches- tra furnishing the music, ——Miss Mary Cook, who has been housed up for some days with a bad cold, at her room in the Brockerhoff house, is very much improved and ere long will be ible to be around again. The Misses Edotia and Anastasia Armor, who have oth been confined to bed for some weeks 18 the result of falls, are improving slow- ly; the former being able to walk a little by supporting herself with a cane. ——Samuel D. Gettig, treasurer of the Demogratic county committee, filed his report of receipts and expenses for the ‘ecent campaign last Thursday evening. His receipts amounting to $725.63, were ill from local party men, and the entire imount was cxpended. No bills were eft unpaid. From the above it will be een that the Democrats had five hun- ired dollars less to spendin Centre coun- y than the Republicans. Realty company, promoters and finan- | ciers, of Pittsburgh, assert that the new industry is absolutely assured. They feel confident that all the money needed for the thorough establishment of this in- | dustry can easily be secured in Bellefonte. It is understood that during the week these promoters were appealed to by res- idents of a neighboring town to locate | the new window glass plant there instead of Bellefonte, with the assurance that their business men are willing and ready to put up the required capital. But the promoters are more than pleased with the success with which they are meeting here in the securing of the desired funds for the new industry. Bellefonte, they aver, is willing and ready to put up all the money the glass industry needs. Philip H. Garbrick has been elected president of the company and practically all the well known glass-workers who formerly lived in Bellefonte as well as those still living here are among the stockholders, and the management of the plant will be in the hands of experienced glass men.. So confident do they feel of the success of the project that they have secured an option on about fifty acres of land on which is an excellent bank of glass sand. As stated last week the piece of ground desired for the location of the plant is between north Thomas street and the Pennsylvania railroad. This will be am- ply large for all the buildings necessary and will be right on the line of the rail- road, so that the building of a siding will be all that will be necessary. They will also be close to the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania, so that the railroad facili- ties will be all that can be desired. adie lsd OUT AT THE PENITENTIARY.—This win- | try-like weather is not very auspicious | for much outside work at the new peni- ! tentiary site, but at that the convicts are kept busy building roads and making im. provements on the various farms so as to | give them outdoor employment. During | the fall a heating and power plant was | built near the buildings on the Ishler farm now used as a temporary prison and | headquarters, and they are all heated by | steam and lighted by electricity. A big | vault has also been built on the Crust | farm, where the permanent offices of the | new penitentiary will be located. These ! are the only buildings so far erected as | the cold weather will prevent the erection lof the contemplated bnilding for the i housing of three hundred or more in- | mates, and this work will now have to ; hang over until next spring. By that | time it is expected that the plans for the ! main buildings of the institution will be | completed and approved and work will | be begun in earnest. In the meantime | the convicts that will be kept here this - winter will be given work on the farms and roads, or at quarrying stone, when the weather permits of outdoor employ- | ment. Warden Francies will spend only | a small part of the time here this winter, | the convicts and what work there will be | done being under the charge of a deputy warden, LIGHT AND POWER PLANT CHANGES OWNERsSHIPS.—Asbury M. Lee, A. J. Mus- ser and J. W. Wrigley, of Clearfield, were in Bellefonte las: Saturday for the pur- pose of taking over the Nittany Light, Heat and Power company, of State Col- lege. Two weeks ago the WATCHMAN published the fact that the deal for the plant had been practically closed but there were a number of things to attend to before a transfer could be made. Everything was closed up last week and on Saturday the deed was delivered to the purchasers and the money paid over. Messrs. Lee, Musser and Wrigley are the gentlemen who last spring secured char- ters for electric light and power compa- nies in a dozen boroughs and townships in this county and their purchase of the State College plant is the beginning of big developments in the light and power business for Centre county. They have a charter for Spring township but so far have made no attempt to secure a char- ter to enter Bellefonte in competition with the Bellefonte Electric company. RE ad BOARD OF TRADE NOMINATIONS.—Mon- day evening was the regular meeting of the Bellefonte Board of Trade for the nomination of officers for the ensuing year, but notwithstanding this fact only eight members were present, six men and two ladies. The nominations made were for president, J. Linn Harris; vice president, Dr. J. M. Brockerhoff, Ad Fau- ble and George R. Meek; secretary, W. T. Kelly; treasurer, Charles M. McCurdy. The meeting then adjourned. The elec- tion of officers will take place at the meeting in January. —————.

P. of this place will be held on Friday afternoon and evening, February 7th, 1913. A school for the officers of the regiment was held at Lewisburg on Wednesday of this week, which was attended by Capt. W. H. Brown and Lieutenants E. R. Taylor and Linn H. Blackford. ——Work on rebuilding the Nittany valley road has been stopped on account of the cold weather and will not be re- sumed until nextspring. The road has been rebuilt from Bellefonte to about a | mile below Hecla, a distance of about eight miles, or two-fifths of the entire distance to Cedar Springs. It is a splendid piece of road and should last for years. ——On Monday afternoon while Harry Badger was at work at the joiner in Twitmire's tin store his hand slipped and he sliced the end off of the little finger of his right hand just as neat as it could have been done with an axe. For twen- ty-one years he has worked with that machine and this is the first time he ever had an accident or injured himself in any way. ~——Bellefonte friends of Rev. Wilford P. Shriner, a former pastor of the Meth- odist church, sympathize with him in the death of his mother, Mrs. Sophia Eliza- beth Shriner, which occurred at her home in Altoona last Friday morning. Deceas- ed was seventy-one years old and had been confined to bed for over five months. The remains were taken to Baltimore, where she was born, for inter- ment. ——Don't worry all the time about your preparations for Christmas, but take an hour off each evening and visit the Scenic. The moving pictures will rest your mind and put you just right for a good night's sleep and a fresh start the next day. Some very interesting pro- grams are being shown right along and there is no doubt but that they will inter- est and entertain you. The pictures are the kind that anybody can look at with pleasure. ——Bellefonte friends of Rev. Thomas Levan Bickle, of Lebanon, but formerly of this place, will be interested in know- ing that while he is still in the hospital he is improving and will probably be around on crutches by Christmas. His attending physicians express the opinion that he had been going around with a partial fracture of the leg for some time prior to the fall which rend. red the frac- ture complete, and that is probably the reason that the bone is slow in knitting: ~—A large audience was present in Petrikin hall on Sunday to hear Miss Gay Zenola MacLaren's presentation of “The Sign of the Cross,” and every one present appreciated the entertainment to the utmost. Miss MacLaren is an elo- cutionist and impersonator of exception- al ability and the different characters in the old Roman play were portrayed most vividly in manner and voice, though with- out a change of costume. Miss MacLaren held her audience for two hours and no one regretted the time. na ——Mrs. Maggie Meiss, of 1510 Seven- teenth avenue, Altoona, would like to know the whereabouts of her son Fred. He was born in June, 1893, hence is go- ing on twenty years of age. When a boy he was placed in the Williamsburg home and from there taken to Martins- burg and later adopted by a family named Kline, in Centre county. The only de- scription given is that as a boy he had brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone knowing anything about the young man will kindly notify Mrs. Meiss, of Altoona. ——The officers in charge of the local work of the Salvation Army are soliciting funds and provisions in order to give a Christmas dinner to the needy poor of Bellefonte. They expect to supply twen- ty-five worthy families with a nice bask- et of provisions early Christmas morning in time to be cooked for dinner. Appeals are being sent out to a number of gener- ous hearted people of Bellefonte, who are blessed with this world’s goods, and it is hoped the returns will beof a gener- ous character. Any money over the Christmas dinner expense will be used for the relief and evangelistic work of the Army in Bellefonte. The Salvation Army local headquarters are at 114 east High street. —— a AAA <r — ——The coldest wave of the season reached this section on Saturday and by Monday it was real winter weather. The wave is predicted to last all week with some snow. While the weather in itself is not sufficiently cold to cause suffering there is more or less apprehension over the small shipments of coal to Bellefonte.

If a coal famine should occur with men with buckets, doing but small dam- the weather as cold as it is it would be a pretty serious condition for everybody. — Seconp WEEK oF DECEMBER Courr.— | It took three days to dispose of all the business brought up at the second week of the December term of court.

The court allowed him ' to go home on his own recognizance with the stipulation that he be in court on Tuesday of this week to receive sentence. Mr. Taylor was present on Tuesday and when called before the court Judge | Orvis told him that he would be as len- ient with him as possible, considering the gravity of the crime. In the case of ma- licious mischief he suspended sentence, pending his good behavior in the future, but for beating and killing his horse he was sentenced to pay a fine of $150, costs of prosecution and undergo imprisonment in the county jail for a period of six | months. The judge told Mr. Taylor that | had the horse he killed belonged to another man instead of himself, the crime would have been one of greater gravity and he could have been sent to the peni- tentiary for six years, so in this case he got off quite lucky. Mr. Taylor was tak- her aunt, Mrs. William T. Speer. for the past three weeks, returned to her home in Pittsburgh Monday. ~Mr. and Mrs. D. F.

Ce THE TURKEY QUESTION.—With Christ- mas coming on apace the turkey question is beginning to loom up big. Not the European Turkey, where the carnage of war is in full sway, but that toothsome turkey bird that is used to grace the Christmas dinner table, when the family can afford to have that kind of grace. Prior to Thanksgiving day quite a num- ber of turkeys were brought to Bellefonte by Centre county farmers but as the price demanded, 18 and 20 cents a pound, was considered too high local dealers bought only what they had to have for regular customers and some farmers were compelled to take their turkeys back home. Since that time the tendency of the market has been downward and now dealers are offering but 17 and 18 cents for turkeys live weight, and some are not particular about paying that price, as dressed turkeys can be shipped to Bellefonte from other markets and sold at a price equal to the above. From all accounts there are quite a number of turkeys in Centre county, some farmers having flocks of from twenty to thirty, and there is no excuse for unreasonably high prices. a BELLEFONTE FOUNDRY REJUVENATED. — Considerable work has already been done toward getting the Bellefonte foundry in shape for active operations. Henry John son, a member of the firm who have leased the plant and will put it in opera- tion, has been in Bellefonte for two weeks and with a small force of men has white- chinery so that it looks almost like new. The foundry has been cleaned out, the patterns gone over and the entire plant is beginning to assume a good shape for business. Messrs. White and Barry, two of the men interested in he new company, are now at their homes in Philadelphia and the probability is they will not come active operation. In the meantime Johnson will remain in Bellefonte and look after the plant. tuberculosis exhibit will be on display in the grand jury room of the court house all of next week. The exhibit will be county medical inspector, and Dr. Wil liam S. Miller, of the State Board of Health. At opportune times during the day Dr. Miller will lecture on this sub- ject at the Reformed church in Howard on the evening of the 17th, of December; at the M. E. church in Snow Shoe, even- ing of the 18th; at the court house in Bellefonte, evening of the 19th; and at Centre Hall evening of the 20th. ———— A] ————— —A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Horton S.

There is hardly any question but that there are thous- ands of bushels stored away in the farm- ers bins to be held for the highest price possible to get. Bellefonte Produce Markets.
