CENTRE COUNTIANS BANQUET. — Just
one hundred and fourteen past and pres-
ent residents of Centre county attended
the annual banquet of the Centre county
association of Philadelphia at the Hotel
Walton, last Thursday evening, and if
the program is any evidence of the time
they had the evening must have been re-
plete with music and good cheer.
As usual, the menu was quite elaborate
and there is little doubt but that all pres-
ent did ample justice to it. Select coun-
cilman Ira D. Garman, president of the
association, presided as toastmaster and
the invocation was made by Rev. M. K.
Foster. The guests of honor were Hon.
John Francies, warden of the western
penitentiary, who spoke on “Aims and
Objects of the New Methods of Teach-
ing Criminals,” and Hon. William H.
Keller, Deputy Attorney General of
Pennsylvania, who spoke briefly on “Cen-
tre county and her Public Men.” Other
speakers were Col. J. L. Spangler and
Roland S. Morris. Miss Lydia M. Under-
wood favored the audience with a select
reading. The music for the evening was
furnished by Cotter’s orchestra.
A unique feature of the banquet was
the sandwiching of the speechas and
songs between the various courses, thus
aiding nature in properly digesting both
the elahorate menu and the brilliant
flow of oratory. In his speech Warden
Francies gave a vivid picture of charity
in the western penitentiary and flayed
the social custom of expending 80 cents
for feasts and officers and 20 cents for
charity for the poor and needy. Col.
Spangler pictured the untold wealth of
Centre county in its numerous fertile
farms and vast deposits of limestone, as
well as its coal mines. One of the speak-
ers listened to with great attention was
Hon. William H. Keller, who spoke in
part as follows:
We, who have moved away from Cen-
tre county still keep our love for and
pride in the county and her people. That
there were those who claimed that the
physical characteristics of a locality
had its effect upon the mind and spirit
of its inhabitants. Balzac, in his novel,
“The Country Doctor,” has pointed out
the independent, liberty loving spirit
characteristic of those who live in the
mountains. That. possibly. the. ability,
independence and. strength. of character
for which the men and women of Centre
county were noted when I was a boy
was due somewhat to the hills and moun-
tains among which they lived. Before
the public school system was established
in Pennsylvania Centre county had a
number of Academies which were justly
celebrated. In the different walks and
professions her people have always held
high rank. They had, in the early days,
taken high place in. the lumber, coal and
iron business. At the time when the ore
had to be transported by six mule ‘teams
Centre county iron was famous for its
quality through out the United States.
They had achieved equal rank in the
professions. For years they had the
best weekly newspaper in the State of
Pennsylvania, and a Bar which number-
ed at one time such names as John H.
Orvis, James A. Beaver, J. Wesley Gep-
hart, Edmund Blanchard,Evan Blanchard,
Adam Hoy, Austin O. Furst, Daniel H.
Hastings, John G. Love, J. L. Spangler,
David F. Fortney and Daniel S. Keller,
an aggregation that did not need to give
place to the Bar of any county in the
State whatever was its size. Now the
timber has been cut from our forests
and the iron industries have gone. But
in Pennsylvania State College and its
activities there is an opportunity to
bring back the prosperity of the county.
Its hills can be used for the scientific
raising of live stock and the growing of
orchards under the direction of the De-
partments of Animal Industry and Or-
chards in the College and that in this
way a newer and even greater prosperity
can be achieved by the people of Centre
county. ho

SUDDEN DEATH OF CHARLES LUCAS.—
With profoundest sorrow residents of
‘Runville learned early Monday morning
of the uuexpected death of its oldest
resident, Charles Lucas, who had been
in usual good ‘health, and able to be in
attendance at the funeral of his neigh-
bor, Cornelius Friel, the day prior to his
death. He retired as usual Sunday even-
ing, after being quite active during the
.day, and said to his daughter, who has
watched and cared for him with all the
affection that a child could bestow, as
she tucked the covers about him “now
Muzz (or Mary) you go to bed and take
a good sleep, and I will sleep in the
morning until you get your work all
done.” And just so he seemingly fell
asleep and changed worlds before the
morning dawned, for when his daughter
awoke at five o'clock, and as her custom
THOMPSON.—Clair Gross Thompson, ‘of
Tyrone, died in the Altoona hospital on
Sunday night of tetanus, the result of an
automobile accident on December 12th.
On that day Mr. Thompson with his fath-
er, John A. Thompson and John E.
| Stuart were motoring to Shaver’s Creek
on a pleasure trip. Near Union Furnace
the front wheel of the car struck a stone,
the steering gear broke and the car went
{over a forty foot embankment into the
Juniata river. Clair Thompson was
rescued from drowning by Mr. Stuart,
the latter being only slightly injured.
Both the Thompsons were taken to the
to return home after having his injuries
attended to. Clair was in the hospital
i until December 29th when he was dis-
charged. Several weeks ago he con-
always was to look after him, she was
stricken to find him cold in the embrace
of death, due to heart failure, incident to
his advanced age, which was eighty-eight
years, five months and a few days.
He was a staunch christian gentleman,
and was an active member of the United
Brethren church of Runville since early
manhood. A beautiful life, worthy of
imitation, and one which his posterity
can well be proud of. He was united in
marriage to Eliza Brower, who preceded
him to the grave twenty-one years ago.
Nine children were born to thisunion,
five sons and four daughters, all grew
to man and womanhood and two years
after the mother’s death one daughter,
Mrs. Hannah Rogers, passed away, and
each year in succession one son until
Sheridan, James, and William were fol-
lowed by their father to the grave; and
about three years ago a daughter, Eliza-
beth Johnson, also died, leaving to mourn
their loss two sons,Edward and Franklin,
of Runville, and two daughters, Mrs.
Mary Heaton, of Runville, Mrs. Margaret
Lucas, of Altoona, with fifteen grand-
children and several great-grand-chil-
dren, as well as one sister-in-law, Mrs
Morgan Lucas, of Runville, who is the
last relative of his generation, and a host
of friends who had learned to love and
adore his hospitality. The funeral serv-
ices were held Thursday morning in the
church he so much loved. The hymns
used were hymns he sang so frequently
the last few weeks of his life and with
so much joy and inspiration entitled “In
the Sweet bye and bye,” “Will the Circle
be Unbroken,” and “We'll Never Say
Good bye in Heaven.” The services were
conducted by his pastor, Rev. S. J. Wil-
son, and Interment was made in the
Messiah cemetery. *

BOROUGH COUNCIL ACCEPTS PROPOSI- |
TIONS FOR STATE AID HIGHWAY, CoNbpI-
TIONALLY.—A special meeting of borough
council was held on Monday evening to
consider the propositions for state-aid
highways on. Bishop, Spring and Pine
streets to the borough line and south
Water and Willowbank streets to the
borough line. The members present at
the meeting were president John S.
Walker, Brockerhoff, Flack, Harris, Lyon
and Seibert. Ah
Petitions for the above two pieces of
highway were sent to the Highway De-
partment about eighteen months ago and
two weeks ago forms and estimates were
sent to the County Commissioners for
their endorsement, after which they were
to be turned over to the borough. The
estimate for the Bishop, Spring and Pine |
‘streets route, a distance of 1721 feet, is
$8,340.60, for a width of sixteen feet,
with an additional cost to the borough
and property owners of $5,301.00 for con-
struction to the curb line. For the south
Water and Willowbank streets route, al
distance of 2454 feet, the estimate is!
$12,545.32, with an additional cost of |
$4,834.50 for construction to the curb |
line. The estimates are based on brick |
paving on a concrete foundatidn!. i
At the meeting on Monday evening Dr. !
Brockerhoff introduced a resolution that |
council endorse the proposition when the
signatures of two-thirds of the abutting
property owners have been secured, sub-
ject to any changes or modifications the
council may deem advisable. Mr. Seibert
called attention to the fact that a con-
crete foundation on Water street would
make it very difficult to get at the water
pipes in case of a leak, but this is a mat-
ter that will later be worked out with
the Highway Department, and on motion
of Dr. Brockerhoff the resolution was
passed unanimously.
Highway Commissioner Robert Cun-
ningham is expected in Bellefonte within
the next two weeks and at that time it is
expected the whole matter will be settled
one way or other.

C. C. SHUEY SELLS GROCERY STORE.—
Considerable of a surprise was occasion-
ed in Bellefonte on Monday when the
fact leaked out that C. C. Shuey had
sold his large grocery store in the Har-
ris block to C. S. and P. J. Weaver, who
in the future will conduct the same un-
der the firm name of the Weaver Bros.
It was on January 12th, 1886, when R.
Lewis Erhard and C. C. Shuey embarked
in the grocery business under the firm
name of Erhard & Shuey. Three and a
half years later Mr. Erhard withdrew
and went to preaching and ever since the
business had been conducted by Mr.
Shuey in such a progressive way that it
grew to be one of the largest grocery
stores in Bellefonte. Lately Mr. Shuey
has become interested in West Virginia
coal lands and it was the desire to be
free to give more time to the latter as
well as look after his other business in-
terests that induced him to sell his store.
Of course he will continue to make his
home here and give as much time as
usual to his church work.
The new proprietors are from Stras-
burg, Lancaster county. P. J. Weaver is
now in charge of the store and will be
joined by his brother in the near future,
