W. Rokenbrod, wife of landlord Rokenbrod, of the Spring Mills hotel, was able to return home on Friday after undergoing treatment for four weeks in Dr. Geire’s private sanitorium at Sunbury. ——Both the Bellefonte Academy and The Pennsylvania State College closed this week for the Christmas vacation. The Bellefonte public schools will close today and will have all of next week as the holiday vacation. ——The “Watchman” has received from Dr. E. S. Dorworth, of Bellefonte, a sample box of his corn medicine which he assures us is an unfailing remedy. It sells at 35 cents a box and will be sent upon receipt of price. ——Members of the Centre county bar and court house officials held their annu- al banquet at the Nittany Country club last Saturday afternoon. Just thirty- eight members sat down to the feast of roast turkey and other good edibles that had been prepared for them by the stew- ard. —-The “Watchman” was just one month ahead of time last week in announc- , ing that James Alexander Leyden and Miss Constance Fowler, of Springfield, Mass, had been married November 16th. The item should have stated will be mar- ried on December 16th, which was last Saturday. ——AIll the employees of the Bell Telephone company in this place will share inthe six millicn dollar water- melon to be cut by the company in a few days.

Persons joining in the donatior to be sent to the Methodist church today and to- morrow for Mrs. Risk and her fami- ly, are asked to mark all baskets and packages sent for the Risk donation. : —A little son was born to assistant county superintendent and Mrs. Milford F. Pletcher, of Howard, on Thursday of last week, but this is really nothing unusual in the professor’s family, as it is now composed of eight boys and two girls, ten children in all. Verily the professor is not an exponent of race sui- cide. —On Monday of last week Joseph Thall did his annual butchering and as has been his custom for a number of years he had William Doak, the blind man, taken to his place to enjoy the big feast at dinner always prepared by Mrs. Thall. They also insisted on him spend- ing the afternoon there and gave him his supper before sending him home, al of which was very kind and thoughtful on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Thall and very much appreciated by Bill. —— Notwithstanding the fact that Christmas comes next Monday and that all the week will be more or less a holi- day, the Scenic will be open as usual, showing the customary programs of high standard pictures. In the relaxation that always follows the strenuous season of Christmas shopping men, women and children will appreciate a place to seek a little pleasant recreation and amusement, and nowhere in Bellefonte can this be had so satisfactorily as at the Scenic. Try it. ——The weather the past week has been real Christmas-like. Beginning with zero cold last Friday morning the thermometer hovered between that mark ‘and fifteen degrees above in the middle of the day until Monday morning, when it dropped to seven below at some places in the county. All week the weather has continued colder than normal at this time of year and the indications are that the snow that now covers the ground will lay and give us a white Christmas, and that is the only kind that is real Christmassy. ——Abraham Hulsizer, of Sunbury, a brakeman on the local freight on the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad, met with an accident at Lemont on Saturday by which he lost his right hand. The crew was engaged in shifting cars and Hulsizer was in the act of making a coupling when he slipped on the ice and fell across the track. He managed to throw himself clear of the track but his right hand still grasped the rail when it was caught and one truck wheel passed over it, mangling the flesh and bones. He was brought to the Bellefonte hos- pital where the hand was amputated back of the finger joints, the thumb be. ing saved. CENTRE CO." LICENSE COURT. | Judge Quigley Grants Twenty Licens- es, Refuses Seven and Holds Nine Over for“ Further Consider- ation. Judge Henry C. Quigley held his first license court last Saturday morning and out of the thirty-six applications filed he promptly granted twenty, refused seven and held nine over for further consider- ation. As stated in last week’s “Watch- man” remonstrances were presented pro- testing against the granting of any and all licenses in the county. These, how- ever, were only general in character and made no specific charges as to unfitness or violations of the law against any of | the applicants. When court convened at ten o'clock on Saturday morning the court first dispos- | ed of a number of motions and petitions presented by several of the attorneys and when that business was concluded Judge Quigley announced that the court was ready to take up the applications for liquor licenses. Prothonotary David R. Foreman officially presented the ap- plications and remonstrances to the court and the Judge then asked J. Kennedy Johnston Esq., who represent ed the remonstrants, if he had anything to say. Mr. Johnston expressed a desire to be heard and beginning he stated that it was not the intention of the remonstrants to ask for a public hearing or the taking of testimony in any one case. That the remonstrances presented were simply general in character and they asked for the refusal of all licenses on the grounds of no necessity. He then took up the application for alicense at Millheim and the remonstrance against the same then reviewed the same, following up with each applicant in Pennsvalley. He laid partic- ular emphasis on the remonstrance pre- sented by State College, then took up the Philipsburg applications and pointed out to the court that there were too many licenses there for the size of the town. Next he spoke on the application for a license at Howard and finally spoke briefly on the applications from Belle- fonte. The next case he took up was that of Samuel Markowitz for a license at Fow- ler. He had hardly started talking against this one when Judge Quigley told him he needn’t go any further as that application would be refused by the court. Mr. Johnston concluded his talk by protesting against the granting of a license at Milesburg, and asked the court to take into consideration the num- ber of voters who had signed all the remornstrances. In reply Judge Quigley stated, that | he had already thoroughly examined all the applications and remon- strances. That the latter all told were signed by less than one thous- and voters in the county and that nine thousand or more had expressed no sen- timent either way. That the law of the State provided for the granting of licenses by the court and the very fact that certain hotels have been licensed for from thirty to fifty years has always been held by the courts as a reason for its necessity, unless it was proven other- wise. And then without giving any further opinion, announcing any rules or exacting any pledges aside from the fact that he would expect every land- lord to obey the law, and any wilfull vio- lation therof if brought properly before the court would receive prompt atten- tion, he announced his disposition of the applications as follows: GRANTED.

To Give Library to Western Peniten- tiary. The Presbyterian Sunday school voted on Sunday to give their library to the western penitentiary at Rock- view for the use of the prisoners. The library contains several hundred vol- umes, at least, and inasmuch as it is in little demand by the members of the school it was desmed a worthy move to give it to the penitentiary where it will at least help the prison- ers to pass the long evenings and may be a means of doing much good. It is just possible that some of the other Sunday schools will also contribute some books. ——It is rumored that William Daugkenbaugh has resigned as war- den at the penitentiary at Rockview to take effect January 1st, and that he ‘Bellefonte last will be succeeded by Mr. Healey. No Paper Next Week. In accordance with an old established custom no paper will be issued from this office next week, the employees being given their customary holiday vacation.

The County Commsisioners have completed the enrollment of all men in Certre county between the ages of 21 and 45, who are subject to military duty and the total is 5,400. This is very little more than one-half the voters of the county. Invitations have been issued for the marriage of Margaret Shuitz, of Latrobe, and T. Irvin Humes Jr., of Hartford, Conn. The wedding to take place in Latrobe on the second of Jan- uary. Mr. Humes is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs . Irvin Humes, of La- trobe. Remember the Christmas ecan- Inaugurating the custom in year, ve beg Tor its continuance and hope that every home in the town will send forth the greet- ing te the Christ child, which, accord- ing to an old Irisl: legend, is abroad on the Eve of Christmas. dle. The Associated Charities have arranged for a general distribution of Christmas presents among those who otherwise might not be well remem- bered on that day. The distribution will take place on Christnias morning and Burgess Edmund Blanchard will act the part of Santa Tlaus. May his mission brirg gladness into the le- serving homes. The editor of this paper is un- der obligations to Hon. J. Will Kep- ler, of Pine Grove Mills, for a mess of delicious venison rec2ived on Satur- day. Mr. Kepler, by the way, was the captain of the Excelsior hunting -lub that camped in Stonevalley. They got two fine deer during the season. one of which feil before Mr. Kegler’s un- erring aim and the other was brought down by Dr. R. M. Krebs. “September Morn” will be the attraction at Garman’s. on Friday evening, December 29th. Bellefonte theatre goers are not unacquainted with this show. It has been here be- fore and gave the best of satisfaction and the company producing it this season is excellent in every particu- lar. The prices will be 35, 50 and 75 cents and $1.00. Don’t forget the date, Friday, December 29th. The final closing and audit of the accounts of the Centre County Soldiers’ Relief Association shows a surplus of funds amounting to several hundred dollars, and in order to make judicious disposal of this balance, a meeting of all the subscribers is call- ed for Friday evening, December 22nd, 1916, at 8 o’clock, in the court hcuse, at which meeting it is desired that suggestions will be made that will aid in the disposal of this fund to the best advantage. — ow On Friday of last week, De- cember 15th, Rev. James P. Hagles, principal emeritus of the Bellefonte Academy, was eighty-nine years old and in celebraticn of the event the student body gave him an informal banquet in the dining room of the Academy. Coach Hartman presided as toastmaster and short but very pleasing speeches were made by sev- eral members of the. faculty and stu- dents to which Rev. Hughes respond- ed in a manner which warmed the hearts of all present. Rev. Hughes has been connected with the Acade- my since 1868, forty-eight years, and he still enjoys good health notwith- standing his years. Forest Bullock, the carriage builder of south Water street, has al- most completed an auto fire truck for the Undine Fire company which, when it is ready for service will he the equal of any sent out from the big auloniobile factories. He used the chassis of the Cadillac car formerly owned by Albert: Thompson and which is practically as good as new, and on that built the body himself over the latest and most convenient models. ‘The body will be painted red and the handrails and some of the trimmings will be in nickle. The truck will be used as a hose truck and also for hauling the company’s fire engine. The entire cost will be between six and seven hundred dollars but it will add greatly to the equipment of this very efficient fire company. The next is- | Troop L Ordered "Home from Border. Will Leave El Paso On or About January 10th, 1917. At last the long-locked for order was issued on Monday which will i bring Treop L and Beal’s mounted | machine gun troop back to Centre county and home. Among the sixteen thousand troops ordered from the border is the First Pennsylvania cav- i alry. which will leave El Paso, Texas, on the 9th or 10th of January, pos- sibly a day or two later. As it takes | about five days to make the trip in a troop train they should arrive in Pennsylvania any time from January 14th on. Troop L will come direct to Bellefonte and be mustered out here. i While the boys at the front will not { be home for Christmas we’ll wager that * Santa couldnt have dropped anything into their soldier socks as a Christmas present that will please them more than that order to make preparations to go home. And every man of them is deserving of a lot of praise. They responded when called | by their country and at the time they | new not what they would have to | face. They went where ordered and performed every duty imposed upon them, and every man of Troop L will come home the better in every way for his =ix months of military train- ing. Sergt. Philip D. Foster received a telegram yesterday morning from Gen. Clement informing him that all men now at home on furlough were to remain there and join their troops on arrival home for mustering out.
