Armstrong, of Hagerstown, made a busi ness trip here on Wednesday last. Wm. Houtz and wife, of Lemont, were here last week visiting relatives and friends, guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. I. Brian. Our community was again shocked last week by the very sudden death of Mrs. M. C. Stover wife of the proprietor of the Spring Mills hotel. Shortly after supper on Thursday evening last she received a paralytic stroke. Medical aid was immediately summoned but of no avail and an hour after midnight she died. All our stores are now dressed in their usual holiday apparel, and the counters loaded with confections, toys and Christmas goods in a won- derful profusion. The decorations in some of the stores are quite artistic, notably the postoffice, which presents a very handsome appearance. Our genial postmaster knows exactly how to make his merchandise department alluring and attractive, for the huge heaps of high grade can. dies on the counters are certainly very inviting. Mrs. Isabella Barree, a well known and highly esteemed old lady, widow &f the late David Bar- ree, died at Centre Hall on Friday last. Mrs. Bar ree left here only a few weeks ago to make her future home with her daughter, Mrs. Koons, hav- ing reluctantly given up her home here, where she had lived for so many years, and was finally persuaded to sell it, and its loss weighed heavily on her mind, and no doubt hastened her death, Interment was made in the Spring Mills ceme- tery on Monday last. LEMONT. Charles Zeigler is able to be out again. The Bell telephone company is busy stringing wires between this place and State College. Linn S. Bottorf is reported much better this week. Mrs. Jacob Shuey and Thomas Hockman, of | Center Furnace, are on the sick list this week. Forest Evey had the great misfortune toruna | nail in his foot, which housed him up for a few days. Miss Isadora Williams and George Fike were | quietly married at the home of the bride, last | Wednesday. Miss Myra Allen, one of College township's | teachers, has been on the sick list, and Miss Car- | rie Rishel is taking her place. TOoyS. +. THE... INDEX Bellefonte, Pa.
