County Correspondence
Items of Interest Dished Up for the Delec-
tation of ‘Watchman’ Readers by a
Corps of Gifted Correspondents.
SPRING MIILS.
Ray Rossman has entered into the fish
business.
Mrs. Lloyd Smith, of Johnstown, is
visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. J.
Finkle.
The public sale at Mrs. Jane Pealer’s,
on Saturday last, was very largely at-
tended.
Adam Finkle has been running his
steam saw mill quite lively for the last
two weeks.
Miss Ella S. Cummings left on Satur-
day last for a two weeks visit in Lewis-
burg and Sunbury.
Miss Anna Corman left for Bellefonte
on Monday. She - will be employed at
the home of Harry Ruhl
Mrs. H. K. Harter, of Altoona, is here
and will spend several weeks on a visit
to her father, Robert Smith.
Report says that Billy Sunday left Phil-
adelphia with a purse of $51,000. This
isn’t such a bad sum for 10 or 11 weeks
preaching.
Miss Rath Smith and Miss Sarah
Fisher, pupils at the West Chester Nor-
mal school, are spending their Easter
vacation at their respective homes.
Mrs. W. H. Hettinger returned home
on Tuesday last, after several week's
visit in New York, a guest of her sister,
Mrs. Phillips. She was accompanied by
her sister, Mrs. Wilbur E. Burkholder, of
Bellefonte.
C. E. Finkle and family left last week
tor Illinois, their future home. Mr. Finkle
was formerly one of our merchants, and
not meeting with success, sold out by
auction and then entered into several
other operations, but they all resulted in
failures.
The nuisance of ball playing on our
main thoroughfare by the pupils of the
Academy, has commenced in earnest.
This folly should be stopped before some
pedestrian has an eye put out or is other-
wise injured by their reckless throwing
of the ball. If the teachers are not able
to stop it, the school directors should
know the reason why. The directors
have notices posted above and below the
Academy cautioning drivers of autos to
positively run slow on account of chil-
dren. They should now add playing
ball. It would be perfectly correct, but
of course a very ridiculous sign.
SPRING MILLS, NO. 2.
The public schools completed the
course of six months on Friday.
Tonsilitis is prevalent among and an-
noying many of the pupils of our public
schools.
Prof. Mensch, of Aaronsburg, antic-
ipates quite an accession to his musical
circle here. :
The industrial importance of Spring
Mills is attested by the railroad shipments
from and to it.
M. C. Stover, who is well known over
the whole county, is hopefully awaiting
the approach of spring.
Prayer services of more than usual in-
terest are in progress in the Lutheran
church, conducted by the pastor, Rev.
Kurtz.
The young folks of the Reformed Sun-
day school are preparing a melo-drama
for presentation in the near future. Par-
ticulars later.
A number of our Odd Fellows intend
to take an auto-trip to Bloomsburg, on
the occasion of a society celebration
there, April 23rd.
The play given on Friday evening at
the Grange hall by the Mifflinburg min-
strels was well attended, and is spoken of
in the highest terms of praise for its
general excellence.
AARONSBURG.
Rev. W. H. Brown, of Millheim, con-
tinues to serve the U. E. congregation for
another term.
Arthur Weaver moved from the P. S.
King house on north Second street, to
the George house on same street.
Oscar Auman now occupies his farm
north of town. We are pleased to wel-
come them to our quiet burg as their
future home.
We are glad to note at this writing
that our fellow townsman, Z. D. Thomas,
is improving from a serious attack of
rheumatism, which effected his heart.
May he continue to improve so we may
soon see him in his accustomed place in
the Sunday school and church services.
The Woman’s Foreign Missionary so-
ciety of the Reformed church held a
thank offering service on Sunday even-
ing, at which the people responded lib-
erally. Mrs. W. H. Phillips and Mrs.
W. D. Donat, wife of the Reformed min-
ister, rendered a duet, “Rock of Ages,”
most impressively, Mrs. Phillips carrying
the alto and Mrs. Donat the soprano.
Several members of the society read se-
lections suitable to the occasion. Mrs.
Phillips sang an alto solo entitled, “The
Mission Plea,” which was very effective,
she having a beautiful voice and a fine
expression, which carries a deep feeling
to the hearts of her hearers.
This otherwise quiet and serene burg
was suddenly shocked and excited last
Friday afternoon by an untoward fire,
which broke out near the roof of the
town school building, after the schools
had been dismissed. Stover Durst was
the first to spread the alarm. His at-
tention was drawn to the building by a
man who was traveling the road. There
were still nine days of the school term
to fill out. As the building is almost en-
tirely destroyed, being a frame structure,
the directors met on Saturday to decide
how the remainder of the term shall be
held and where. There was $800 in-
surance on the building and $200 on the
furniture. The teachers are Ed. Wolf, of
Wolf's Store; Miss Ottie Harter, of Co-
burn, and William Duck, of M.llheim.

and her shoulder still pains her.
Miss Anna Confer, of Greenburr, a

barnyard philosophy and fall back on the
old rcliable lime.
Miles W. Breon, of Coburn, who teaches
the Liberty school two miles west of
Coburn, visited his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Harbaugh, on Saturday.
I wonder if Bob Meyer has fully recov-
ered from the effects of that Porto Rican
perfecto that he indiscreetly indulged in
last week. How about it, Bob?
Willis Weaver and two daughters visit-
ed his parents, Mr and Mrs. C. J. Weav-
er, the past week, and pending the sale.
He resides in Huntingdon county.

disposed the past week. Her grand-
daughter, Mrs. Brown, has been a great
comfort and help since her incapacita-
tion.
Harvey Miller, the auctioneer, stopped
the rain of chaff from the barn at John
Stover’s sale. The lecture he gaye the
barn tumblers was well merited and of
good effect.
Wallace Walker has arrived from
Pittsburgh and will make his home in-
definitely with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Walker. Mrs. Walker is visiting
friends at Altoona.
Wm. H. Frank has had about his allot-
ment of hard luck. Last Friday night
he lost a horse that caught cold during
the winter when the barn roof blew
away. Lets hope that the jinx has vanish
ed.
W. D. Brungart, son-in-law of J. C.
Brungart, will take over daddy’s farm
as soon as Newton Weber vacates. Mr.
Weber will move about the 1st to the
Jaspar Brungart farm where Calvin
Wian has held forth for the past 20
odd years.
Scott Stover has purchased a new
“Standard” spray pump and expects to
get to work on that fine young orchard
in the rear of his residence. Incidentally
he will give his fine flock of white Leg-
horns a thorough renovation, via the
spray route.
Many ladies of Rebersburg and Brush-
valley generally attended the farm sales
at Stover’s and Weaver's. They ad-
mired the beautiful and thrifty begonias
which Mrs. Weaver has cultivated in her
floral window, and declared they never
saw their equal.
Wesley Hackenburg returned last
Thursday from an extended business
trip through York State. Wes says he
will stay at home and rest up until April
1st, but some of the “Doubting Thomases”
figure that he wants to get acquainted
with his family.
Newton Brungart, one of our most re-
spected citizens, was an attendant at the
Weaver sale and greeted many of his
friends in a farewell handshake, as he is
going to move to a fertile farm a few
miles west of Lewisburg. The best wishes
of all accompany him.
Mr. and Mrs. Allie Brungart, Mr. and
Mrs. Thos. Hubler, Mrs. A. N. Corman,
Rev. Stauffer and others assisted at the
Weaver sale. Wise and Hubler were
salesmen and they had to talk at electric
speed. The sale amounted to $2,547.37,
without including the chickens.
The oil-drillers report this some tough
section. They claim an eighteen foot
drop in one “trick,” a good days work,
while in other sections they average
thirty to forty feet. If theydo have their
troubles, they are happy in their pros-
pects for a good “shoot” when they get
down farther.
'Squire Carlin has improved the ap-
pearance of the west end of our town at
night by installing a gasoline plant in his
store. Sam and Claude will have to get
busy as the Squire has done things up
brown and has the city arc lights faded
a mile by the addition of a large “Sun-
burst” on his store porch.
The R. C. Yoder horse sale that was
slated to be held at the Rebersburg hotel
on Friday, April 2nd, has been postponed
until Saturday, April 3rd, on account of
April 1st being moving day, and the 2nd
fix up day. It would have inconvenienced
a number of people who are moving onto
new rentals and must purchase new,
clean-cut stock for the spring work,hence
the decision for a later date, so it will
suit everyone.
W. F. Bierly does not believe in wait-
ing for the proverbial moving day. He
took a day off from his huckster calen-
dar and hied his family and numerous be-
longings to' the old Hazel abode on Fri-
day last. Bill is comfortably ensconced
now and says he has plenty of room for
his stock—also family. Mrs. Bierly did
the big thing in the line of eats. She
demonstrated her ability to the satisfac-
tion of all. With the aid of her mother,
Mrs. John Breon, and Mrs. Rueben
Bierly, she satisfied the gastronomic
organs of a crowd of 30. Some flitting,
Eh Bill?

on Sunday forenoon were well attended
by people from this section.

yesterday. Our youngsters are now per-
mitted to enjoy fresh air and physical ex-
ercise for twenty-four hours.
Spring is here boys, and now
We'd better brighten up the plow.
And I should think in self defense,
We'd better fix that old line fence.
This community, and especially the
Walker farm, misses a good farmer in
the absence of J. B. Stover. Sam Year-
ick, another good hustler, takes his place.
Last week Orvis Walker's smiling
face appeared in town; Certainly glad to
see him. Rumor has it that he intends
to stay here and invest in the poultry
business.

ed last Monday from a few days in Mil-

Blaine Hanselman, better known as
“Shorty,” has resigned his position as
clerk for George H. Showers and has se-
cured employment from lumberman
Jacob Winkleblech. Blaine is a fine, con-
genial fellow and is certainly missed by
all.
On Friday evening Mrs. Jonathan Au-
man. was greatly surprised by having
relatives, friends and neighbors calling
on her in commemoration of her anni-
versary. The occasion was planned by
her children who, at a suitable hour,
furnished very appropriate refreshments
to all of the thirty-three present. Mrs.
Auman, altho possessing a good old age,
enjoys excellent health and performs her
own household duties. She isa good
mother and her children can honestly
say. “All that I am and all that I hope
to be, I owe to my angel mother.”

would do.
Chas. W. Hosterman, who keeps the
Home hotel here, has established and
proved the proposition that a good hotel
can be kept at $1.50 per day, without

Imagination balks at the magnitude of $2,000,000.
Only when it is translated into terms of purchasing
power does it become comprehensible.
Two million dollars, for example, will support more
than 2000 families of moderate income for a year.
Two million dollars will buy more than 200,000
barrels of flour, more than 50,000 sewing machines or
80,000 suits. It will give work for an entire year to 2000
men and women engaged in various productive indus-
tries and other occupations that add to the common
welfare of the people in all walks of life.
It is $2,000,000 a year that the Full Crew—* excess
man crew "—Laws compel the railroads of your States
to pay in unearned wages These laws deprive you of im-
provements for safety and comfort in travel that this
money, now used unproductively, would provide.
. How much longer in these times when economy is
a universal necessity are you willing to endure this
tremendous waste? In the end the cost bears upon you,
either in increased rates or decreased service.
Will you use your influence in urging that the
people’s elected Representatives at Trenton and Harris-
burg work and vote for repeal of the Full Crew Laws
and place control of the proper manning of trains in
the hands of the Public Service Commissioners ?
