PINE GROVE MENTION.
Now we write in 1917—and to all a
Happy New Year.
Chester McCormick and A. O. John-
son are each steering a new car.
Harry Hoy, who has been ill with |
typhoid fever, is now convalescing
rapidly.
Mrs. Charley Louck, who has
ili with acute indigestion, is now im- '
proving nicely.
Mrs. Mary Harper has gone to the
George C. Harper home at State Col- |
lege to spend the winter.
Dr. C. T. Aikens, President of Sus-
quehanna University, greeted
friends along the line last week.
Brooks and Hugh Fry are the proud
owners of a young Shetland pony that
is the center of attraction about their
domicile.
Henry McWilliams is seriously
thinking of quitting the old farm home
on account of scarcity of help in and
out of doors.
The famous “white horse” made his
rounds New Year's day, causing a
general reckoning among tenant farm-
ers throughout the valley.
Communion services will be held in
the Presbyterian church here next
Sunday, January Tth, at 10.30 o’clock.
Preparatory services Saturday at 10.30
a, m.
Harold, the son of Mr. and Mrs. L.
H. Sunday, is a very sick lad, suffer-
ing with pneumonia. The little fellow
was never stout, so that his recovery
seems doubtful.
Among the home comers for Christ-
mas were H. N. Walker and wife,
Ralph and Ruth Illingsworth, Mr. and ;
Mrs. W. E. McCormick, W. H. Roush, |
Mary From and Boyd Gardner.
Clyde Fishburn bought the J. D.
Hubler farm at the $8,100 mark, while
Alf Lee bought the G. W. Campbell
farm near Linden Hall for $8,000 and
expects to go farming in the spring.
W. P. Ard, with J. C. and Randall
Dunlap, Fred Goss, Prof. A. L. Bower-
sox, Edith Dunlap, Earl Houck, J. H.
Everts and wife, H. A. Gummo and
wife enjoyed the Yuletide at their sev-
eral homes here.
On the morning of the 29th a chub-
by little son came to the Charles Mus-
ser Ross home and on going to the
barn to do the many chores he found
his suckey with a pair of twin heifer
calves by her side. All are O. K.
W. C. Frank's wife presented him
with a Christmas present in the form
of a bouncing little baby girl, No. 9 of
that happy family. William now thinks
of increasing the toll for threshing to
feed another mouth and clothe the
new arrival.
The High School boys and girls
banquetted themselves Wednesday
evening, Dec. 27th, at the home of Add
Krebs, on West Main street. A
splendid feast was enjoyed, including
the National bird, with all the side
dishes, cake and ice cream. The eve-
ning was spent with games, fun and
music.
The members of the State College
High school composed a sledding par-
ty to Baileyville Wednesday evening
with W. R. Dale handling the ribbons
over a pair of sorrel steppers, and
safely landed the party at the Daniel
Irvin home at Baileyville, where a big
lay-out announced their coming. Mrs.
Irvin and her dutiful daughter pade
everyone welcome to their hospitable
home. All enjoyed the “eats” as well
as the sled ride.
The I. O. O. F. banquet held last
Friday evening was the social event
of the season, for the Three Linked
fraternity and their friends found cov-
ers for 150 and all were taken. Dr.
Aikens, of Selinsgrove, was chosen
toastmaster and was the guest of hon-
or. He and Rev. L. N. Fleck were
the principal speakers, though a num-
ber of members responded briefly. Miss
Mabel Musser gave a recitation which
was well received.
One cold blustery morning recently
a young sport, evidently not a broncho
rider, was dumped from his horse sev-
eral times going from Pine Grove
Mills in a distance of a mile. The
plunge the rider got landed him in the
snow banks, while the horse ran
away and took shelter in the G. Mec.
Fry henery, lost to the rider, who de-
cided to hoof it to State College. Once
there he got busy over the ’phone and
as a result the lost horse was found.
We venture to say the next vacation
trip over to Old Tussey Mountain will
not be on a broncho.
Stonge—Bartges: Albert B. Stonge
and Miss Cora Bartges occasioned a
real surprise to their friends by going
to Bellefonte on Thurusday, Dec. 28th,
where they were quietly married at
high noon by Rev. A. M. Schmidt.
The groom is an iron worker at Dan-
ville, where they will reside after Jan.
15, 1917. The bride is well and favor-
ably known hereabouts and her friends
unite in extending congratulations and
best wishes.
SWARTZ: A telegram announced
the death of Mrs. R. H. Swartz, in
Chicago, on the 26th of Dec, 1916, af-
ter a long illness of heart trouble and
dropsy, borne with true christian for-
titude. She was a daughter of the late
Hugh and Rebecca Gilliland Laurime
and was born in Ferguson township,
Nov. 3, 1838. She attended the old
Pine Grove Mills Academy and Semi-
nary, where she fitted herself to teach
school. In 1867 she was married to
Reuben H. Swartz, of Mill Hall. To
them one son,Hugh L., and a daughter,
Grace Turner, were born, who with
her husband and five grand-children
survive. The older set will remember
Mollie Laurime, a favorite among the
students at the old seminary and a
class-mate of the late General Beaver.
She was an active member of the First
Presbyterian church of Chicago, and
was laid to rest in the Evergreen
cemetery on Thursday, Dec. 28th.
GOHEEN: The many friends of Miss
Elmira Goheen will be filled with grief
over the news of her death which oc-
curred Dec. 23, 1916, at 12 p. m. Her
decline dates back several years when
she suffered a partial stroke of par-
alysis which slowly ebbed her life
away. She was a daughter of the late
Robert and Margaret Murray Goheen
and was born at Rock Springs, Dec.
15, 1843. Three years later the family
moved to Harris township, residing
there ever since as farmers. After the
death of the parents the two sisters,
Elmira and Lucretia, conducted the
farming until 1900, when they retired
to Boalsburg. For sixty years she was
a consistent member of the Presby-
terian church. She leaves her sister,
Miss Lucretia Murray Goheen, of
Boalsburg, and John B. Goheen, of
Baileyville...
Funeral services were held in ' her
late home on Tuesday, Dec. 26th, in
charge of Rev. IL. V. Barber and Rev.
Stover. Burial was made in the
Branch cemetery.
REBERSBURG.
The Christmas services held by the
Reformed Sunday School on Decem-
ber 24th and the Lutheran Sunday
School on December 25th exceeded
anything of the kind ever held here.
Both churches were crowded with
congregations that gathered from the
entire valley. The program of each
was so good and elaborate that we
would like to publish each, but space
forbids.
A festival and box soc¢ial was held
in the Rebersburg High School build-

East Brushvalley was by no meas-
ure in the rear during the Christmas
exercises last week. Notwithstanding
the storm and cold that day, many
were the eager faces wending their
way toward their respective parntal
roofs.
On last Tuesday evening the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Yearick was
livened by a jolly bunch of young
folks who came with pure motives for
the occasion. Games and singing con-
stituted the programme of the evening.
At an early hour the crowd departed
and some of them were hypnotized so
they almost went home hoodless. Fol-
lowing is a list of those present: Miss-
