RAR, Demonic atc Bellefonte, Pa., May 14, 1915. County Correspondence Items of Interest Dished Up for the Delec- tation of “Watchman” Readers by a Corps of Gifted Correspondents. REBERSBURG. The Forest Ocker mansion has now put on a carmine color. Your road taxes may be high but low- er them by paying before June 1st. For altitudinous alliteration the WATCH- MAN'S poet “Priscilla” puts Poe in the pickle! The “ice box” in the calendar came within one of it. The frost came on Sat- urday instead of Friday? Robert Meyer, the horticulturist, has accepted a paying position in the Che- mung valley, near Corning, N.Y. It is a convenience that Sam. Gephart has inaugurated—keeping plow shares and pieces for farmers. Sam. will order anything you want. Miss Martha Douty returned from Avis on Saturday and is the guest of her mother, Mrs. Harbaugh. Ruth tarries with her sister at Avis. C. O. Mallory and Stanley burned about one hundred piles of brush this spring and are looking forward to a good yield of corn and potatoes. The Singing Brook clearing has been sown with California millet. The owner has added the Aily Breon tract to keep the pines waving on the northwest, to protect his fruit trees. Speaking of the shortage of hay, a practical farmer asks: “Why do not our people turn down the weeds and unprom- ising ground and raise alfalfa, millet or vetch? It is time now.” Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Mallory, of Shady Side, on Sunday entertained Mr. Mal- lory’s niece, Jennie Eisenhower, nee Sny- der, who with her husband are visitors with their relatives here. Those who fly through town with an auto at a high speed should be reminded that if a person is run down and killed, the crime is murder under the common law and manslaughter under the crim- inal code. Timely warning! Although the oil and gas prospectors have struck the “Bradford sands” no oil or gas has yet oozed through. The Dane in charge is waiting for necessary recep- tacles to catch it and impound it when it comes bubbling forth from Pluto’s pre- serves. A tax payer said the other day that Miles township is $1,000 in debt for use- less new fangled road machinery, and only loose stones are picked out of the roads to please the tiresome speeders. The stone crusher ascended the moun- tain on Saturday to chew up sand-stone. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Eisenhower, of Jer- sey Shore, were guests of Mrs. Belle Cole, (aunt to Jennie, who was a Snyder) this week, and Mr. Eisenhower went to State College to tune some pianos there which needed a master hand. He expects to return and straighten out some rollers which are askew. Rev. Noah Fehl, a native of Brush val- ley, son of Amos Fehl, visited his aged parents over Sunday and on Sunday even- ing preached a sermon in the United Evangelical church to an interested audi- ence, choosing for his subject the short bed and awkward coverlets mentioned by Isaiah for the Jews. Soon the summery city folks will hie themselves away from their fashionable homes and the Nickelettes, to fatten up- on their country dad’s pantry and com- bat the flies and other relics of Egypt which will punish them for their fashion- able foibles and extract some of the city sins from their veins. On Sunday morning the Lutheran congregation held Mothers’ Day services which were deeply interesting. Pastor Metzger preached an able sermon and the song services were especially elevat- ing. Paul Detweiler appeared in the role of soloist very creditably and promises to be a boy chorister of rare qualities of voice. «The Good Roads Day,” like everything else our “Singing-brook” Governor does, is copied. The idea originated with the Governor of Missouri, a place where every one must show up and be shown. But in Missouri the people instead of the sporting trust own the roads, and the Governor of Missouri led the hosts him- self with a shovel. No such thing in Pennsylvania! The Reformed church people celebrat- ed Mothers’ Day on Sunday evening with becoming eclat, recognizing the fact ful- ly that the mother is the real nursery of human life and activity and that old Ad- am was merely an accessory and a big booby who excused himself by slandering Eve and trying to put all the blame upon her! The attendance was highly credit- able and the services were edifying. AARONSBURG. At this writing Mrs. M. J. Deshler is not improving as rapidly as her many friends and neighbors wish. George Stahl, of Milton, is the guest of his sister, Miss Mary Stahl, at the home of their aunt, Mrs. Deshler.

Krape and chil- dren went to Sunbury on Friday to take in the show there on Saturday.

SPRING MILLS. This week nearly everybody was busy planting potatoes. Owing to a scarcity of carpenters the garage building will be at a stand still for a week or more. Frank Crawford and Mr. Potter, of Bellefonte, made a business trip to our | town on Tuesday last. J. B. Cameron, of Selinsgrove, and L. B. Koons, of New Berlin, were here on a visit for a few days last week. H. H. Rachau, the nursery agent, says that this season he has disposed of an unusually large number of fruit trees and lots of shrubbery plants. He is just about through delivering them. Our people were simply horrified on learning of the wanton destruction of the Lusitania, and the loss of so many wom- en and children, and now think, and not without reason, that Germany is only another name for infamy and crime. A meeting of citizens was held at the store of C. A. Krape on Saturday even- ing last to make arrangements for Me- morial day. Committees were duly ap- pointed to obtain speakers, and for oth- er duties. The meeting was largely at- tended. Our new postmaster, Tibbens Zubler, is winning golden opinions from all sorts of people by his obliging and pleasing manner at the office. Nothing is too much trouble for him.
