nominally a holiday attraction it tends
to show the varied uses for electricity
and suggests what can be done by utiliz-
ing it as a light and a power.
Hon. AND MRs. A. G. Morris CELE-
BRATE GOLDEN WEDDING.—On Novem-
ber 29, 1864, Alexander G. Morris, a well
known young man of Freeport, Pa., and
Miss Elizabeth Swartz, of Pittsburgh,
were united in marriage by the Rev. Dr.
Paxton, a celebrated Pittsburgh minister.
Their golden wedding anniversary com-
ing on Sunday their daughter, Miss Lida
Morris, planned a delightful surprise for
them in the way of an informal recep-
tion from three o’clock Saturday after-
noon until ten in the evening. And so
well had she arranged everything that
neither Mr. Morris nor Mrs.
knew aught of the affair until the guests
began to arrive.
During the afternoon and evening be-
tween one hundred and fifty and two '
hundred guests called to pay their re-
spects and congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Mor-
ris on the auspicious occasion. Among
the out-of-town guests were Mr. and
Mrs, W. J. Morris, of Pittsburgh, cous-
ins of Mr. Morris; Miss Ella C. King, of
New York, a step-sister of Mrs. Morris;
John D. Meyer, of Altoona; Mr. and
Mrs. J. K. Johnston, Mr. and Mrs. Shel-
ley Kloss and the Misses Kloss; John G.
Anderson, Mrs. J. K. Cass, Harvey
Gray, George C. Wilson, Frank K. Luk-
enbach and Bernard Vogt, of Tyrone;
Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Grier and Miss N. J.
Davis, of Birmingham, and J. T. Mc-
Lanahan, of Hollidaysburg.
During
candies from Candyland. Mr. and Mrs.
Morris also received a number of beauti-
" . |
ful and valuable presents while the floral | fact but states that England will fight |
remembrances were unusually elaborate
and profuse. The real date of their wed-
ding anniversary falling on Sunday they
celebrated it with a family dinner. Covers
were laid for eighteen and all the chil-
dren and grandchildren were present ex-
cept their grandson, Elliott Morris, who
did not come home from college for
Thanksgiving.
Mr. Morris has had a busy and event-
ful life, an example of what an industri-
ous and energetic young man can do.
He was not born with a silver spoon in
his mouth, but was compelled to work
for a living as hundreds of other young
men do. His youth and early manhood
were spent in the oil regions of western
Pennsylvania, and he was working in the
oil fields when he was married in 1864.
He took his bride to a home in Freeport,
and during the ensuing six years they
lived at Appollo, Leechburg, and one or
two other places in the western part of
the State as well as in Virginia.
In 1870 they ‘moved to Birmingham,
Blair county, and it was there Mr. Mor-
ris opened up his first limestone quar-
ries, erected kilns and burned lime for
marketable purposes. Three years later
he moved his family to Tyrone where
they lived for many years, or until they
came to ‘Bellefonte, with the exception
of several years spent in Philadelphia
and at Columbia, South Carolina. His
success in the lime business was phe-
nomenal and he was probably the larg-
est individual operator in the State at
the time of the organization of the
American Lime & Stone company, which
took over his interests and of which he
became president, a position he still
holds. Mr. Morris is also president of
the Blair County Banking company, of
Tyrone, president of the board of man-
agers of the Huntingdon reformatory,
president of the Fairbrook Country club,
and has various large business interests
throughout the State, all of which re-
ceive his own personal attention. In
fact he is the youngest fan for his years
in Bellefonte. Notwithstanding the fact
that he is in his eighty-first year he thinks
nothing of walking from six to eight
miles a day, visiting the various lime
plants in the vicinity of Bellefonte.
Mr. and Mrs. Morris were blessed
with seven children, a boy and a girl dy-
ing when quite young. Those living are
Charles Morris, Miss Lida, Robert and
Alexander G. Jr., of Bellefonte, and
Thomas K. Morris, of Pittsburgh. They
also have four grandchildren. Having
spent such a long and happy life togeth-
er Mr. and Mrs. Morris’ many friends
hope they may be spared to celebrate
many more wedding anniversaries.
SQUIRREL AND PHEASANT SEASON
OVER.—The season for squirrel, pheas-
ant and quail came to an end on Mon-
day, with the last day of November, and
it was a very fair season tor the sports-
man who had the time, patience and
stick-to-itiveness. Squirrel were more
plentiful this year than they have been
for some years and quite a number were
bagged throughout Centre county.
Pheasants were at least as plentiful, if
not more so, than in former years, but
the prolonged dry weather rendered it
very difficult to get within gun-shot of
the birds. At that, quite a large num-
ber of birds were bagged in Centre
county.
The only game on which the season is
still open are rabbits, raccoon and bear.
The former are quite plentiful and with a
tracking snow would afford lots of sport.
As to bear, they can be found in the
mountains if anyone has the bear fever
bad enough to go after them.
——Miss Ella Jones is soliciting orders
for holly wreaths and garlands for use
during the Christmas season, and all or-
ders placed with her will be given prompt
attention and assured satisfaction. Her
phone number being 241-], Bell, it would
be well for those anticipating buying
greens, to communicate with Miss Jones
as early as possible.

missioner, has compiled a statement of
the forest fire devastation in the State
since July first and according to his fig-
ures in Centre county forest fires burned
over 311 acres of state land and 13,382
acres of private lands, entailing a loss of
$19,024.
——The walls of the new bank build-
ing at Snow Shoe are nearing completion
but last week it was discovered that the
one side had sagged, the top being out of
plumb at least five inches. Whether the
foundation had given away or just what
the cause is, had not been determined
. at last reports. The bank received its
charter on Saturday.

——Mrs. Tanner had her regular
Thanksgiving dinner on Tuesday even-
ing when she regaled her regular forty-
eight boarders and eight other guests
with some extra choice Centre county
turkey with everything else that goes
into the makeup of an appetizing meal—
‘such as Mrs. Tanner knows so well how
to serve. The High school orchestra
, furnished delightful music while the
guests feasted.

——From the Indiana Gazette of last
Friday we glean the fact that Charles T.
Noll, one of the original black faced
! artists in amateur minstrelsy in Belle-
fonte, has broken out afresh in Indiana
and last Thursday evening the Lyric
minstrels which he helped to organize
and coach gave an entertainment for the
benefit of the Belgian sufferers. Mr.
Noll also took a leading part in the Olio,
and he was loudly encored for his clever
jokes and timely songs.

——The State College “hunting crowd
greatly surprised their friends upon their
return from the Seven mountains on
Wednesday evening of last week, for in-
stead of having one deer as reported they
had four nice big ones. The deer weigh-
ed 190, 178, 171 and 145 pounds respect-
ively, aggregating just ‘684 pounds of
venison, enough to supply the hunters
families and most of their friends. The
crowd also wounded another buck, saw
three or four others which they didn’t
get a shot at, and had quite a number
of does cross their path.
——CharlessM. Heisler recently sold
his comfortable home in Bush’s Addition
to Michael Grove, who will move to
Bellefonte next spring and take things
easy the balance of his life. Mr. and
Mrs. Heisler had intended going to Phil-
adelphia, where Mr. Heisler has a prop-
erty, but on account of the importunities
of Mrs. Heisler’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Henry F. Bartley, who are both past
eighty years of age, they have decided to
remain in Bellefonte and Mr. Heisler will
likely build a new home on a vacant lot
he has in Bush’s Addition.

za, of the Royal Academy of Music, Na-

tractive Neapolitan costumes and must

——Mail agent Thomas Rosser, whose
trick is on the Central Railroad of
Pennsylvania from Mill Hall to Belle-
fonte, had a wet chase after his Thanks-
giving turkey on Wednesday of last week.
He secured the turkey from a Nittany
valley farmer on the morning run to
Bellefonte, and during the lay-over here
he decided to kill the bird and have it
ready to pluck when he returned to Mill
Hall. Securing a piece of cord he tied
the turkey’s legs and hanging it upon a
bush along the creek, just below the Cen-
tral Railroad of Pennsylvania station,
proceeded in a scientific manner to sev-
er its head with his penknife. The tur-
key kicked against losing its head and
also flopped with the result that the cord
broke and the bird fell into the creek.
Even though its head was gone the tur-
key was not dead by any means and it
flopped vigorously right out into the mid-
dle of the creek. There was nothing
for Mr. Rosser to do but go after it and
he plunged into the icy water and waded
out almost knee deep and finally succeed-
ed in bringing the decapitated turkey
ashore. The next turkey he undertakes
to kill will not be tied along a creek of
running water.

SUICIDE OF WILLIAM R. HAYNES.—
William R. Haynes, well known resident '
of Clarence, committed suicide on Wed-
nesday evening by shooting himself
through the heart with a double-barrel-
led shot gun. He had been in a congen-
ial mood all day and after supper asked :
his wife to go along to the moving pic-
ture show. She told him that she did not
care to go as she was tired. Mr. Haynes '
then remarked in an off-hand way, “well,
if you won’t go along I guess I'll shoot :
myself.” Mrs. Haynes, however, thought
nothing of the remark and went out to
shut up her chickens. A son had been
sent out to mail a letter which left Mr.
Haynes alone in the house. .
| He secured his double-barrelled shot
gun and placing the muzzle against his
left breast and propping the butt of the
gun against the floor and wall, pushed
the trigger with the cleaning rod. Mrs.
Haynes heard the shot and ran into the
house only to find her husband lying on
the floor dead, the load of No. 6 shot
having gone right through the heart. Dr.
Edward Harris was summoned but his
services were of no avail as the man’s
death was instantaneous.
{ Mr Haynes was a son of ’Squire
Robert Haynes, deceased,
Shoe, where he was born about fifty-eight
years ago. For a number of years he
conducted a wholesale liquor store at
. Clarence and later worked several years
in Williamsport. He was a great hunter
and fisherman in his day. Surviving him
are his wife, who prior to her marriage
was Miss Ellen Gunsallus, and four chil-
dren, Frank and Robertat home; Bessie,
| who is married and lives in Washington,
i D. C,, and Ida, of Indiana, Pa. He also
leaves his aged mother, Mrs. Robert
Haynes, of Williamsport. His only
brother, James Haynes, died some years
ago. No arrangemements for the funer-
al have been made at this writing.
