He also leaves three brothers and a sister, namely: Franklin, of Aaronsburg; Jacob, of Salona; Mi- chael, of Altamont, Ill, and Mrs. Daniel Ulrich, of New Berlin.

Mrs. John Archey and daughter Edith were Monday visitors at the John Quinn home. Mr. Quinn is still confined to bed with an attack of the flu and neuralgia. Our mutual friend, J. H. Strouse, is just now going through the various stages of a severe attack of rheuma- tism and finds his easy chair the most comfortable resting place. Boyd Gardner, who was one of the Altoona P. R.

Quite a number of people of this section motored to Lock Haven on Sunday to felicitate with Fred Till- man on his fortieth birthday anniver- sary.

In a letter to his mother last week James A. Gummo, one of our boys still somewhere in France, said he ex- pected to get home by the 4th of Ju- ly, but did not know what year.

Moore had another streak of hard luck on Wednesday when the team he was using on the farm frightened and ran away, throw- ing him from the wagon and break- ing several ribs and badly injuring his head. The result will be that he will be housed up just when the spring work opens up. Mr. Moore has really had more than his share of misfor- tune. Three years ago he had a leg broken, last year an arm and now sev- eral ribs. The James Hoover sale on the D. G. Meek farm at Fairbrook on Tuesday brought out a big crowd of buyers. Prices soared sky-high, cows bringing $140 and other things accordingly. The sale totalled $3700. The Hoover family will soon bid adieu to their Centre county friends and leave fo} eastern Maryland, where Mr. Hoover purchased a farm last fall. One of the pleasing incidents of the sale was the way a certain Bellefonte newspa- per man—not an entire stranger to the “Watchman”—undertook to buy a whole box of chickens for $2.05 and the happy expression he wore until he found out that he had been bidding on each chicken and not the whole box. The kid social at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Woods last Friday evening drew a large crowd and proved one of the most pleasant events of the sea- son.
