The prospective bridegroom is a native of Centre county and has many relatives hereabouts who will be interested in this bit of news. . —J. Dorsey Hunter and John M. Bul- lock returned on Saturday evening from their week’s hiking trip. When they left Bellefonte they intended walking to Wilkes-Barre but they were held up so frequently by rain that it took them until Friday to reach Berwick. They took the train there for Wilkes-Barre, returning home on Saturday. Both men enjoyed the trip and were especially pleased by the kind attention showed them everywhere. At every stbpping ace they met somebody who was ac- ‘quainted in Bellefonte and they went to “considerable trouble to show the hikers around their town and see that they got comfortably located. The very fact that they were from Bellefonte seemed to be the magic wand that brought them such especial attention. ‘to the declaration of the contingent of ardent woman suffragists who accom- panied it, the Suffrage Liberty Bell had the most triumphal procession through Centre county that it has had since start- ing on its tour about six week ago. At every town visited crowds were in evi- dence while houses and business build- ings were decorated with yellow stream- ers in honor of the Suffrage party. And the crowds were not confined to women, as many men were to be seen at each gathering and they listened to the argu- { with the same earnestness and decorum they would extend to any political speaker on the platform. What the result will be at the polls cannot be foretold but the ladies interested in the movement feel certain that the suffrage seeds sown upon the trip will eventually produce a grop of votes sufficient to give them the ballot and an equal right of franchise with the male members of the sex. The Suffrage Bell entered Centre coun- ty last Saturday morning by way of the Seven mountains, coming from Milroy. A committee composed of the county or- ganization of the Suffrage party, accom- panied by Dr. George E. Hawes, met the bell and its escort exactly on the boundary line between Centre and Mifflin counties. Accompanying the bell were Mrs. Richard Y. Fitzgerald, of Boston, secretary of the National Suffrage organization; Miss Mary Stewart, of Missoula, Mont., dean of women at the University of Montana; Miss Hannah J. Patterson, of Pittsburgh; chairman of the Woman’s Suffrage party of Pennsylvania; Miss McShane and Miss Craft, of Uniontown, who officiated as aids to the party; Miss Rose D. Weston, of Philadelphia, suffrage editor of the North American, and Oliver Hall, of Boston, a graduate of M. I. T., who is con- tributing his time and work on account of his sister, Miss Louise Hall, senior state organizer of Pennsylvania. The first stop of the bell was at Pot- ters Mills where a good sized crowd had gathered to welcome the aggregation. Miss Craft did the talking for the party and in the few minutes allotted to her told the men just why the women want to vote. At Potters Mills the party was met by Miss Florence Rhone and a dele- gation of Centre Hall women in four automobiles, who acted as escort to the latter town. There a luncheon was serv- ed the entire party in Grange hall by the suffrage enthusiasts of that town. Fol- lowing the luncheon a meeting was held in the public square which was addressed by Miss Stewart. Between three and four hundred people attended the meet- ing. From Centre Hall the route of the bell was to Boalsburg and unusual enthusiasm was displayed all along the road. Even the workmen in the fields were adorned with sprigs of golden rod and groups were gathered at every cross roads to see the bell go by. It was the most en- thusiastic recognition received by the party since starting on its state-wide trip. This enthusiasm reached its climax just outside of Boalsburg when the party was joined by a delegation from Belle- fonte in three automobiles and the big yellow bus and on nearing the town were met by forty children under the leader- ship of Mrs. James Stewart, president of the Civic club, who insisted on pulling the bell into the town. The children were all dressed in white with yellow sashes and as they started with the bell twenty young women, also arrayed in white and yellow, walked on either side of the bell singing “It’s a long way to woman suffrage It’s a long way to go. It’s a long way to woman's freedom But they’re getting there, you know. Good-bye liquor traffic, welcome all things fine, It takes a long time for them to see it, But our men will vote right this time. From Mrs. Stewart’s porch, near the public fountain, Mrs. Fitzgerald addressed a crowd of five hundred people gathered from Boalsburg, Oak Hall, Linden Hall and surrounding country. At the con- clusion of the meeting the children again took the ropes and pulled the bell out of town. Outside of Boalsburg the party was met by Mrs. Gardner, vice chairman of Centre county, with a suitable escort, which led the way to State College. The meeting there was held in the public | square and Miss Stewart talked from the deck of the bell truck. The meeting was interfered with to a certain extent by a hard downpour of rain. The next stop was at Lemont where Mrs. Robert Mills Beach addressed the crowd from the porch of the John I. Thompson residence. At Pleasant Gap Dr. George E. Hawes took a hand in the game and advocated votes for women in front of Noll Bros. store. Leaving Pleasant Gap the next stop was Bellefonte and it was just 6.20 o'clock when the party reached the Dia- mond. Miss Stewart, Miss Patterson and Miss Weston left the party here and returned to their homes while the others in the party were entertained by Mrs. Beach, Mrs. Allison and Mrs. J. Thomas Mitchell. Our Boys band of Milesburg furnished the music for Saturday evening’s meet- ing and close to two thousand people gathered in the Diamond to hear the speakers. And unfortunately it proved a bad place for the meeting as the noise of passing automobiles, the usual Saturday night liveliness and a good deal of un- necessary talking throughout the crowd ments of the fair defenders of their cause | rendered it well nigh impossible to hear the speakers twenty feet away. Yet they | that they were able to hold their crowd | for two hours and a half. Miss Stewart was the first speaker and she was fol- : lowed by Mrs. Fitzgerald. After spending Sunday in Bellefonte | the Liberty Bell party left at ten o'clock | on Monday morning, under escort of a. | delegation of Béllefonte women in the | big yellow motor bus. Just outside of | Milesburg they were met by a delegation | of Milesburg women under the leader- : ship of Mrs. Harry Mann and escorted to the centre of the town where Miss McShane addressed the crowd. So en- | thusiastic were the men that they asked for another meeting Tuesday afternoon. i At Unionville Mrs. Fitzgerald made a | very interesting talk after which luncheon | Was served by the ladies of Unionville, under direction of Miss Shipley. At ! Julian the party again encountered rain , but notwithstanding the downpour a good | sized crowd was there and Miss Craft | made a speech from the seat of the | motor truck. The wet roads impeded the progress of the party and it was late i reaching Port Matilda, but fully three i hundred people waited for their coming rand they were not disappointed, owing | to the interesting address of Miss Louise | Hall, who joined the party at that place. ! AtPort Matilda the party was met by two automobile loads from Osceola Mills | who escorted the bell to that place, going by way of Bald Eagle, where a meeting | was held under the direction of Mrs. Mattern. The trip from Osceola Mills i to Philipsburg was a reguiar parade, as | a contingent of twenty-five automobiles from the latter place, each filled with en- thusiastic women, made up the escort. Mrs. William Mellick was in charge of the arrangements and had worked for i weeks to make the meeting a success. { The public square was appropriately dec- | orated and the Philipsburg band furnish- ed the music. Under such inspiring con- ditions Mrs. Fitzgerald and Miss Hall made two very interesting addresses. After spending the night in Philips- burg the party went to Winburne on Tuesday morning whére Mrs. J. Malcolm Laurie and the Misses Sommerville had charge of the meeting. Although it was not on the schedule a brief stop was made at Moshannon, where a good sized crowd gathered to see the bell. Eight automobile loads from Snow' Shoe met them into the pretty little town on the top of the Alleghenies. Another escort of seventy-five young women and children met them on the outskirts of the town and joined the line of march to the cen- tre of the town, where a big crowd was in waiting to see the bell and hear the suffrage speeches. Music was furnished by the Snow Shoe band. Luncheon was served at the home of Mrs. W. C. Snyder, she with Mrs. James Irwin and Mrs. T. B. Budinger having charge of the meet- ing. 4 Leaving Snow Shoe the party recrossed the mountain into Bald Eagle valley, making an unscheduled stop at Runville then came to Milesburg for another meeting. There a surprise was given them as they drew up in the public square and saw an exact model of the bell and truck which the enterprising citizens had made between the two visits of the bell at that place. Miss Hall gave the crowd a cheerful little speech. { At Howard Mrs. Zeigler, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Diehl were in charge and as a reception to the bell the party was met on the outskirts of the town by a bevy of children dressed in the suffrage colors and carrying baskets of flowers which they scattered in the path of the bell truck. Mrs. Fitzgerald was the speaker there. Miss Blanche Kunes and Mrs. James A. Quigley composed the com: mittee that met the suffrage party at Howard and escorted it to Blanchard, where a fifteen minute meeting was held when the Centre county suffragists very reluctantly turned the bell and its faith- ful advocates over to the Clinton county delegation, composed of three automobile loads of women from Lock Haven, who acted as escorts to that town. The success of the bell’s tour of Cen- tre county is largely due to the progres- sive and energetic women of the county who looked after the arrangements. They left nothing undone to win favor for their cause and they must at least be given credit with a sincere earnestness in their work. oe ——On Saturday W. Harrison Walker sold his Ford runabout to Sim Baum, who will use the car for both business and pleasure. It is also rumored that Recorder W. Francis Speer has placed an order fora Ford runabout which he will use during his political campaign for re- election.
