Though the heavy fog yesterday morn-

it certainly didn’t frighten very many,
as it seemed as if about every family in
Bellefonte was represented. Every train

——The Bellefonte public schools will i
open next Monday, September 8th, and
the indications are for a very large at.
tendance. Especially is this the case in
the High school, and the new building
which when it was built four years ago
was considered abundantly large to meet
all requirements for years to come, will
be crowded during the coming term, with
not as much room as is actually needed.
——There is only one more day of the
big Centre county fair but there are
many more evenings of the Scenic. You
may not be able to see horse racing
every evening but there is always a full
program of moving pictures. Manager
T. Clayton Brown looks after the com-
fort of his patrons as well as the excel.
lence of the pictures he exhibits and this
is the reason the Scenic is generally
crowded. If you miss one evening you
are likely to miss something good.

facturing company fifty dollars for the
use of their grounds. Mr. W. P. Seig,
treasurer of the company, promptly sent
a check for the entire amount to the
treasurer of the Bellefonte hospital asso-
ciation to be applied to the fund for the
new laundry. This act of generosity is
greatly appreciated by every person in.
terested in the welfare of the hospital.
——One of the prettiest dances given
hereabouts this season was that given at
the Country club last Friday night by
Fred Blanchard, Hassell Montgomery
and Victor E. Rehr. One hundred and
two persons were in attendance, includ-
ing people from Bellefonte, Lock Haven,
Tyrone and Pittsburgh. The Lyric or-
chestra, of Lock Haven, furnished the
music and refreshments were served by
caterer Bell. An impromptu dance was
also given Monday night. The music
was furnished by a cabaret orchestra,
which H. S. Ray took down from the
Brockerhoif house, where they played
wr
a week's engagement.
Now all that remains to have the 19'3
fair go down in history as the banner
vear is nice weather and and a good
crowd today. Friday's races are always
the best of any fair. The big free-for-all
will be pulled off and the indications are
for enough starters to make it a very
interesting event. Therefore be on hand
and help close the fair in the right kind
of a way.
A FEATURE AT THE FAIR ~The Ty-
rone band, grown famous in the short
period of two years, has been playing at
the Great Centre County Fair this week
and though the Fair is surprisingly larger
and better than it has ever been before
and replete with carnival attractions, the
band has proven a feature.
Few musical organizations that we
know of play the class of music that this
band includes in its repertoire unless we
reach out to the big concert bands of the
country in drawing comparisons. In a
sense that would be unfair, for the Ty-
rone band has been in existence only two
years. Taking its recent organization
into consideration, however, we think it
is not flattery to say that Prof. Pottieger
and his band of forty-six musicians is
well on the way to take rank with the
best organizations in the land.
The concert they played on the streets
here Wednesday evening attracted a
crowd of several thousand and held it,
charmed, for two hours. The selections
were most happily adapted for open air
and interpreted with a technique that
brought out every possibility. It is in
the pianissimo movements that this band
excels because it is distinctively a con.
cert band and does not even take parade
engagements. However it has ample
brass to bring out the heavier passages
brilliantly.
We congratulate Tyrone on having
such an organization and would welcome
frequent visits to Bellefonte.

-———Mr. and Mrs. George T. Jones, of
Punxsutawney, celebrated their golden
wedding last Saturday and among the
guests present were Mr. and Mrs. O. C.
Jones and son Frank, and Mr. and Mrs.
A. J. Johnson, of Port Matilda. Up until !
three years ago Mr. and Mrs. Jones were
residents of Port Matilda and they and
their family are well and favorably
known in that locality. Mr. Jones is
now seventy-two years old and his wife
seven years his junior, and both are en-
joying the very best of health. All their
children, grand-children and great grand.
children were present at the celebration
on Saturday.
———A. Cummins McNitt, of Midlo thi-
an, Md., a brother of Andrew G. McNitt,
of this place, had a narrow escape from
death a week or so ago while working in
a lumber camp in Maryland. He was
measuring long logs to have them in
readiness to send to the mill when the
top log on a pile of fifty or more rolled
down. McNitt made a dash to escape
from being crushed to death, but as it
was he was hit on the side of the head by
the end of a log and knocked uncon.
scious, remaining in that condition for
three hours. He was badly bruised about |
the head and body but fortunately no
bones were broken. ‘

—J. T. Merriman, one of the super-
visors of Taylor township, complains
about the actions of motorists on the
mountain road across to Philipsburg. He
avers that they stop their car in the road-
way and block it with a large stone.
When they proceed upon their journey
they leave the stone in the road and the
next auto that comes along is liable to be
wrecked. Empty beer bottles are also
thrown on the road and broken and many
a cut tire is the result of the broken
glass. Mr. Merriman declares that in
the future he will take the number of the
car of all offenders and will hold them
liable for any damage that may occur as
the result of their actions.
—If there isone spot in Centre coun-
ty where the farmers have been particu-
larly favored this year it is in Brush val.
ley. Their crops of all kinds have been
bumper ones, and rain fell there when it
didn’t in any other section of the county,
so that their corn and potato crops will
also be large. The early planting of po-
tatoes is now being raised and so prolific
is the yield that they are being hauled to
Coburn and loaded on cars for forty
cents a bushel. Hundreds of bushels
are being shipped from there every week,
and the tubers are of a fine quality. Of
course Brush valley farmers deserve all
they get, for a more thrifty and up-to-
date set of men cannot be found any-
where.

—Mrs. W. M. Cronister, wife of ex-
sheriff Cronister, of Martha, and two of
her children were injured on Wednesday
afternoon when a buggy in which they
were riding was struck and upset by an
automobile. Their injuries, however, are
not serious. Mrs. Cronister and the
children were driving along the road in
the neighborhood of Hannah when a New
York motorist happened along and at-
tempted to pass them. The horse
were driving shied in front of the machine
which caused the collision and upset. The
automobilist stopped and assisted Mrs.
Chronister and the children to a nearby
house where it was ascertained that |'
they were not seriously hurt, and he then
proceeded on his way. When he reached
Tyrone, however, he was arrested and
fifty dollars demanded to pay the dam-
