THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY
A large service flag containing
twenty-five stars was hung in the
rear of the altar in the Presbyterian
church last week.
A marriage license was issued
at Hagerstown, Md., on Tuesday to
Raymond Charles Miller, of Belle-
-fonte, and Miss Carrie Mary Jenkins,
of Pittsburgh.
Mr- and Mrs. Ed. Kabello, for-
mer residents of Bellefonte but now
living in Juniata, are mourning the
death of their daughter Mary, who
passed away last week.
There was a marked increase
in the attendance at the work rooms at
the Red Cross last week and it is hop-
ed this will continue. Remember there
are about 5000 special dressings that
must be made this month, and the
rooms will be open every afternoon
and evening.
The Red Cross has received
enough yarn to make fifty sweaters
and is anxious to have it distributed
among the knitters of the community
as there .is most urgent need of these
articles. Any one willing to do knit-
ting can secure yarn by telephoning
to Miss Lida Morris, Bellefonte, Pa.
Some time ago the “Watch-
man” made mention of the large serv-
ice flag put out by The Pennsylvania
State College which contained five
hundred stars, emblematic of the
number of college students’ that have
enlisted. Since that time the number
has grown to 1034 and arrangements
are being made to put out other flags.
—J. E. LaBarre underwent an op-
eration at the Bellefonte hospital on
Sunday {or appendicitis. He was tak-
en sick while away from Bellefonte
and was taken to a hospital but when
it was discovered that he had appen-
dicitis he insisted on being brought to
Bellefonte for the operation. His
condition this week has been favora-
ble for an early recovery.
Notwithstanding the extremely
cold weather the J. Sumner Miller
public sale in the Glades was fairly
well attended on Wednesday and bid-
ding was quite brisk. Horses brought
two hundred dollars and up, cows sold
for over a hundred and his hogs
brought about eight hundred dollars.
The sale amounted to $4,800, and
three horses were not soid.
On Wednesday afternoon Sher-
iff Yarnell and chief ‘of police Harry
Dukeman started on a trip to Runville
in the sheriff’s car. They were trail-
ing along behind the Titan Metal com-
pany’s big motor truck and at the
Milesburg station the driver of the
truck slowed up suddenly and swung
around with the result that the sher-
iff’s car ran into the truck. The lat-
ter-was not damaged but the sheriff’s
was.
Centre county has had the first
touch of real winter and it naturally
makes everybody look after their own
bodily comfort. A good, warm place
to spend the evening is the Scenic.
There you will be able to combine
comfort with pleasure by watching
the motion pictures as they pass
across the screen. No matter how
cold it is outside manager T. Clayton
Brown will have it hot enough inside
and always present a program that is
worth watching.
At the December meeting of
the Bellefonte Chapter Daughters of
the American Revolution a resolution
was passed in effect that the Chapter
buy yarn and knit sweaters for the
drafted soldiers from Bellefonte and
State College, the two towns of the
county most largely represented in
the Chapter’s membership. At the
same meeting an enlightening and
uplifting paper on “The Patriotic in
Music,” was read by Rev. M. DePue
Maynard, of St. John’s Episcopal
church, and the same will be publish-
ed in a later issue of the “Watch-
man.”
Bill Doak, the blind man,
wishes through the columns of the
“Watchman” to express his sincerest
thanks to Harry Johnson, of east
‘Bishop street, who recently presented
him with a heavy overcoat that keeps
him warm and comfortable this very
wintry weather. Bill also wishes to
acknowledge the kind invitation of
Mr. and Mrs. George Beezer, of Buf-
falo Run, to spend next Sunday and
Monday at their home and be present
for their big butchering. In this re-
spect Bill is quite fortunate, as Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Thal recently invited
him to their home for a big butcher-
ing dinner.
——Housewives these days use the
telephone so regularly when ordering
anything from the stores that a
merchant does not see his customer
once in a month’s time or longer.
Naturally the telephone is a great
convenience but in justice to the
merchant customers ought to visit the
steres regularly and see how things
are hept. A visit to the grocery store
of Sechler & Co. at this time would
surprise most people of Bellefonte.
There they will find a stock of high-
class and standard groceries, kept in
the way the law prescribes. Every-
thing is fresh and temptingly display-
ed, and at this store it is possible to
get all any family will need for the
Christmas dinner. If you have never
done so, read the Sechler & Co. adver-
tisement in this issue of the “Watch-
man” and you will be surprised to see
what yom can get at this store, and at

ers who, as members of sportsmen’s

{order that the game may become more |

to stay out of other territory.
While hunters in general were quite
successful the first week of the sea-
son, Saturday’s snow, which was much
deeper in the mountains than in the
valleys, drove many of them out of
the mountains. The Panthers came
home on Saturday afternoon without
any deer, though one or two members
of the party got a sight of one or two
while they were out. Most of the
hunting parties that left on Saturday
had from one to three deer as the re-
sult of their week’s hunt while a few
parties were more successful. Among
those not mentioned last week, who
have gotten more deer are the follow-
ing:
The Rebersburg hunters in Brush

Deep Snowfall Brought Zero Weather.
At four o'clock Saturday morning
the sky was resplendent with glitter-
ing stars and hardly a cloud was to be
seen. By six o’clock it was snowing
and the fall continued throughout the
day and by evening there was close to
ten inches of the beautiful on the
ground.
It then blew up cold, the snow not
only piled up in drifts, blocking many
of the roads in the county, but by
Sunday morning the temperature had
fallen to zero. In fact some ther-
mometers in Bellefonte registered six
degrees below. It continued cold all
day Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,
with zero weather each morning and
not any pronounced rise in tempera-
ture during the day.

Diamond. This cross will be lighted
every night during the campaign, and
for each 100 members secured a light
will be changed from white to red, so
watch the cross each night to see
the progress of the campaign.
Christmas eve, between the hours
of eight and nine, there will be sing-

songs in the Diamond, and it is ur-
gently requested that everyone turn
out to join the singing and help cele-

But it is very evident that the gov-

Chester Johnson Shot in Foot.
Chester Johnson, of Pine Grove

who was discharged on account of be-
ing married, sustained a bad gunshot
wound in his right foot yesterday
afternoon when his gun was acciden-
tally discharged just as he was start-

Johnson ate his dinner, dressed in
his hunting togs and started out with
the expectation of getting some rab-
bits for today’s dinner. He was walk-

Musser — Corl. — Two weeks ago
Washington Grange No. 157, of Pine
Hall, elected John Foster Musser and
Miss Vida Corl representatives to the
meeting of the State Grange in ses-
sion at Williamsport this week, and
evidently considering that it would be
much nicer to go together than other-
wise they went to Boalsburg én Mon-
day evening where they were united
{in marriage at the Reformed parson-
| age by the pastor, Rev. S. C. Stover.
The same evening they left for the
Lumber city and are very ably repre-
senting their Grange at the big gath-
ering of the Grangers this week.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. K. Corl, of College township,
and is a splendid young lady. The
bridegroom is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
E. C. Musser, is a graduate of State
i College, class of 1915, and is now
Master of Washington Grange. Both
young people have not only been ac-
tive workers in the Grange but in
every progressive movement in their

Associated Charities to Look - After
the Poor.
A meeting of the Associated Chari-
ties was held yesterday afternoon to
decide on just what to do in the line
of charitable work the coming Christ-
mas. Notwithstanding the drain on
the public purse this association feels
that the poor of Bellefonte is a
worthy charity and must be taken
care of, but the contributions this
year will consist entirely of clothing
and money, something substantial,
Mrs. R. S. Brouse and D. Edith
Schad will be the committee in charge
and all contributions of money or
clothing should be made to them.
