LATEST ON THE SILK MILL. | No Truth in Rumor that Bellefonte i Plant will Not be Built. 1 Stories have been rampant in Belle : fonte the past several weeks that the silk mill proposition has exploded and : that the company has accepted a bet- ‘ter offer to locate elsewhere. How : much truth there is can be judged | from the following statement given out by Robert F. Hunter on Wednes- day, and as he has been one of the leading men interested in securing this industry for Bellefonte any state- ment given by him can be regarded as authoritative. Mr. Hunter says: “There seems to be a persistent ru- mor in Bellefonte and vicinity to the effect that the J. H. and C. K. Eagle Silk Co. has abandoned its purpose to locate a plant in Bellefonte. What- ever the source of these rumors they are no doubt accentuated by the ap- parent delay in any visible activity in the matter on the part of the Eagle company. «This delay has been occasioned by some difficulty in plotting the first building unit and providing room for | a second unit on the ground originally selected, without making a very radic- { al change in their standard plan of ! construction to provide a northern APPLICATION COUPON: managers secured an extension of the option for the ground to allow the general manager, J. G. Brown, time their plans and recommendations. “The writer has been in touch with the management all along, and as late as Wednesday of this week was assured by Mr. Hill, assistant secre- tary, that the company fully expect to locate in Bellefonte, and that the cause of the delay is as above stated; that the Eagle company is much pleased with the outlook for a suc- cessful business at Bellefonte; that they have been much impressed with speedy work of the business men of Bellefonte in helping them to get their requirement. Zu “The rumors referred to have had the effect of slowing up to some ex- tent requests on the labor coupons for positions. Public attention is here called to the fact that these coupons will be published from time to time in the Bellefonte papers. They should out delay to Charles Schlow, secre- tary of the Business Men's associa- tion, Bellefonte. All applications will be considered in the order in which they are received, so get yours in ear- iy.” fonte plant of J. H. and C. K. Eagle, cesses nes rsa tres sess IIB RSs What duty?

T. Clayton Brown, so well known in Bellefonte as the enterpris- ing manager of the Scenic theatre, took possession of the Garman opera house on Monday under the terms of his three year lease. He has been at work this week making some of the most needful improvements and changes and anticipates continuing the work until he gets the building fixed to his liking. The first regular Show that will appear there under his management will be Pollyanna, next Monday evening. Several other book- ings have also been made.

Seibert Machine Shop. Practically all of his time being ! manager James D. Seibert on Tues- ' day morning sold his machine shop on ' Railroad ‘street to his nephew, Clyde ' Swartz, of Walker township. Mr. Swartz learned his trade with Mr. : Seibert and has been his able assist- "ant for some years. He is an expert ! workman in both general machine and ' automobile work and will no doubt ' keep the reputation of the shop up to .its former high standard. Mr. Swartz is a fair specimen of what any young man can make of himself by the right kind of stick-to- itiveness and generalizing in all kinds of machine work. Instead of keeping to just one line of work he learned the business from the floor up and the “result is he is now able to take over | the plant and conduct it for himself. | And having learned the work under Mr. Seibert is something very much to his credit. : As evidence of the latter assertion , take Mr. Swartz’s brother Guy, who ‘also learned his trade with Mr. Sei- bert. He is now superintendent of a large factory in Cleveland, Ohio, and {drawing a salary of $8,000 a year. James Markle, another of Mr. Sei- i bert’s old apprentices, now holds a splendid position with the Westing- . house company at a large salary. And ! still another one is Russell Gray, who | used to live on Molasses Hill, near ! Milesburg. He learned his trade with Mr. Seibert and now is superintend- "ent of the Timkin Axle factory at De- i troit, Mich. All these are very good examples of what a young man can make of himself in any line of work if he has . the patience and persistence to stick until he has thoroughly mastered his trade. But he must master it in all its details and not specialize in just one thing. one | — “Pollyanna” is coming to the opera house’ on Monday evening, { March 8th. Hundreds of thousands have read Eleanor H. Porter’s joyous- ‘ly optimistic glad-girl stories, now i blended into a bouyantly joyous com- i edy by Catherine Chisholm Cushing, | who is an expert and popular dramat- ist, av hor of successful plays for May Irwin, Henriette Crossman and Billie Burke. Pollyanna is an orphan i child, who humanizes all sorts of i gloomy, despondent persons by sheer i force of magnetic personality, quaint | expressions and happy example. It is a play to be seen without embar- | rassment, and its appeal is equally strong to the young and the mature. - Comedy, sentiment, romance and a “thrill of the dramatic are blended in | “Pollyanna.” Lolita Westman, a fas- _cinating young comedienne, is the i glad-girl at twelve and seventeen. | Others are Pacie Ripple, Jas.

Olmstead’s successor as farm agent of Centre county when the latter leaves Belle- fonte the latter part of the month to go into. partnership with his father farming in Susquehanna county. Mr. | Robinson has been engaged in farm- ing in Mercer county, hence will come to Centre county with practical as well as theoretical knowledge of the work before him. He is expected in Bellefonte this week to consult with Mr. Olmstead in regard to the work in Centre county. Luther Smith has purchased from the heirs the Alexander farm on the side of the mountain above Sun- nyside and will take possession on April first. The farm was the prop- erty ‘of the son and daughter of Mr. Elmer C. Straub, and had been farm- ed by Mr. Straub since Mr. Alexan- der’s death. The sale to Mr. Smith included the farm and all of Mr. Straub’s stock and farming imple- ments. The purchase price was six thousand dollars. When Mr. Smith takes possession of the farm on April first Mr. Straub and family will move into the home in Bellefonte vacated by the Smiths. W. Frank Bradford, station agent at Centre Hall, has been off du- ty the past several weeks on account of sickness but is now improving and has hopes of soon again being on the job. Mr. Bradford has been station agent at Centre Hall for thirty-six years, or ever since the opening of the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad to that place, and this is the first time he was off duty on account of illness. In fact his railroad career antedates his service at Centre Hall as he was agent at Paddy Mountain when the eastern end of the Lewisburg and Ty- rone road was opened from Montan- don to Spring Mills. Mr. H. N. Meyer, former clerk to the County Commissioners, has severed his connection with the Kra- der Motor company and accepted the position of district agent for the Mu- tual Life Insurance company, of New York. Prior to accepting the appoint- ment as commissioner’s clerk Mr. Meyer was an agent for the Mutual Life and the offer they now made him was such an advantageous one that he could not turn it down. His district comprises a number of coun- ties in this section of the State and while he will be obliged to do consid- erable traveling around he will con- tinue to make Bellefonte his home.

Cassidy and family and Jacob Smith and family, the former moving into the Satterfield house on Bishop street occupied by the latter, while Mr. Smith and family moved into the house on Spring street occupied by the Cassidys, so that it was just a change of residences, the change be- chased the Spring street home. Pri- or to moving in he had it equipped with a pipeless furnace, which will add very much to the comfort of their new home. ——A representative of the Pennsyl- vania railroad company was in Belle- fonte on Monday and with the assist- ance of a man deputized from the postoffice by postmaster P. H. Gher- rity again measured the distance be- tween the postoffice and the railroad depot in order to ascertain just who is responsible for the delivery of the mail between the railroad and the postoffice. But the measurement showed practically no difference in the distance from the several times it was measured previous to this, and no amount of figuring has yet been able to change the fact that it is up to the railroad company to transport the mail. Musser—Knisely.—W. Lester Mus- ser, a son of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Musser, of east Lamb street, and Miss Catharine Knisely, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Knisely, also of Bellefonte, were married on Tuesday of last week at the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. Wilbur Wilson, in Johnstown. After honeymooning a few days they returned to Bellefonte the latter part of the week. ing made because Mr. Smith pur- | household furniture also figure in pretty high prices. A careful compu- | tation, therefore, will show that in the neighborhood of a half million dollar's worth of farming property will change hands on or before the first of April. Just how much of this big amount will be in cash is of course unknown, but it is quite probable that not less than one-third of it will be cash in hand and the balance in the customary sale notes. From this it will be seen that there will be consid- erable changing around in bank ac- counts, but at that it will mostly be a matter of book-keeping. — Work was started this week on the development of four hundred acres of coal land in Rush township, underlayed with the “B” vein. The openings to the mine will be made in South Philipsburg borough and if de- velopments bear out the assurances of the prospectors Philipsburgers will have one of the biggest coal mines ever opened in that section virtually at their back doors. — Miss Blanche Houser was the victim of a hard fall on the ice just above the Centre County bank, on Spring street Saturday evening.
