MARCH 7th TO 10th.
| CENTRE COUNTY AUTO SHOW |
i
{ Many Dealers Will be Represented at
| the Exhibit in Bellefonte Armory.
1 —————
Autemobile dealers in Bellefonte,
sections of the county gathered for
i their annual dinner at the Bush house
{on Monday evening, the purpose being
‘to decide definitely on the arrange-
ments for their annual automobile
show, which will be held in the armo-
ry, Bellefonte, March 7th to 10th, in-
clusive, under the auspices of the Cen-
tre county Automobile Dealer’s Asso-
ciation. A substantial number of new
members were enrolled and considera-
ble enthusiasm for the forthcoming
show was manifested. It might here
be added that the dealers have some
surprises for the ladies, which they
will announce later.
Everybody who attended the auto-
mobile show held by the association in
the armory last year declared it su-
perior to any put on in Central Penn-
sylvania and from the amount of in-
there is every reason to believe that
this year’s will far exceed that of
1922. Almost all the standard make
of cars are represented among the
Centre county dealers and by the date
of the Centre county show all the new
! models will be in the hands of the
dealers. It is likely that demonstra-
‘tion cars of models not handled in the
| county will be sent here by dealers in
i other places, so that the line of cars
| which will be placed on exhibit should
be very complete and sufficiently di-
!versified to meet the tastes and neads
| of every individual.
Whether you own a machine or not,
i vou should plan to attend the show.
; There is sure to be something there
that will interest you, and the men in
; charge will make you welcome.
Walter G. Gray Paroled after Serving
| Nine Days of Sentence.
Walter G. Gray, of Altoona, who on
January 10th was sentenced by Judge
| Quigley to nay a fine of $200, costs of
| prosecution and undergo imprison-
‘ment in the county jail for a period of
jone year for shooting Willis Wood-
ring, of Port Matilda, in mistake for
2 wild turkey early in November, 1921,
| was paroled last Friday upon the pay-
jment of the fine and costs. The prin-
cipal reasons which doubtless influ-
enced the court in granting the parole
{were the illness of Mr. Gray’s aged
mother and the fact that he has a wife
and large family of children depend-!
ent upon him for support.
After being paroled Mr. Gray stated
that he rather liked it up in the jail.
He said the prisoners were a “lot of
| good fellows” and they all got along
first rate. He further stated that he
had already made his plans to pur-
chase a knitting machine and had in-
tended to knit stockings for sale, had
he been kept in jail for his full term.
At a special session of court on Sat-
urday morning attorneys for M. E.
Shaughnessy, in his case against the
Director General of Railroads for
damages for alleged injuries sustained
in a railroad accident, presented their |
. . |
‘reasons for a new trial, and while the |
[changed his mind in regard to the |
merits of the case.
| The court also appointed John S. |
ian for Frank Confer, now an inmate |
at the Danville State hospital. Mr. |
Confer was injured at the limestone
quarries almost a year ago as the re-
sult of which it was found necessary
to send him to Danville. He was
awarded compensation at the rate of
four children and the appointment of a
guardian was necessary in order to se-
cure the compensation for the support
of Mrs. Confer and her children.

Rehearsals are now under way for
the musical comedy to be presented at
the Garman opera house February 7th
and 8th by the glee club of the local
High school.
The caste contains twenty-six prin-
cipals, while, more than one hundred
and fifty students are placed in the
various choruses, drills and dances.
The Japanese Fantasy, under the ti-
tle of “Wi-Hung’s Tea House,” is the
most pretentious and spectacular play
yet attempted by these young students
and bids fair to be their best produc-
tion. It is so full of pure, wholesome
fun and wit, its music as unique as it
is entrancing, and its costuming and
stage settings so beautiful, that the
glee club members are sure you can-
not help liking it.
A genuine surprise and treat is in
store for those hearing the many new
voices that will be heard, and in the
dramatic ability displayed by Belle-
fonte’s coming singers and entertain-
ers. It is to be hoped the public will
endorse the good work this musical or-
ganization is doing, and by packing
the house both nights prove an inspi-
ration to the club, enabling it to forge
ahead and complete the work outlined
for the balance of the term.

House hunting in Bellefonte
i and deals in real estate are the princi-
| pal topics under discussion these days
{and the result is many wild rumors
, are encountered every week of the sale
of valuable properties and the con-
i struction of contemplated business
places which, when run to earth, prove
to be merely rumors. There are to-
day, just as there always have been,
properties in Bellefonte for sale, and
there are also would-be purchasers,
providing always that an agreement
as to terms can be reached, but so far
none of the stories in circulation this
week have developed into anything
material in the way of a sale; and un-
til a sale is consummated it is supev-
fluous to discuss contemplated busi-
ness projects. It is true that a num-
ber of people have purchased houses,
which they felt compelled to do in or-
der to get a home, but so far that is
the extent of real estate transactions
in Bellefonte.

both possessed of considerable inven-

proper encourageent may some day
become real geniuses. Copying to a

selves propeller sleigh which not
only goes, but goes fast enough for
any purpose. The sleigh is equipped
with an ordinary automobile engine to
which is attached propellers. A disk
wheel serves as a means of guiding
the sleigh. One day last week the
boys made the trip to Centre Hall in
their “new-fangled” sleigh but in
turning a corner the vehicle upset and
broke one of the propellers. The
boys set to work, made a new propel-
ler and on Saturday made another trip
to Centre Hall and return home with-
out a mishap. The boys have also
built an airplane which is complete
with the exception of the motor and

SPTTIINASR,
H. J. Thompson Buys the Mrs. Hiller
Home in Bellefonte.
A deal was closed on Wednesday
morning whereby Howard J. Thomp-
of y i
Indiana, Pa., on Tuesday to spend ten days =n . Cary Sr Syile, Donane the pur
visiting their son, William Rees and fam- | $2@8S€T oi the Mrs. Hiller property on
| High street, Bellefonte, next door to
ithe Elks home. The property has
been for sale the past year and sev-
eral parties had made tentative offers
for it. The Brooks-Doll Post of the
American Legion took an option on it
last fall but were unable to raise a
fund sufficient to complete the pur-
chase.
Mr. Thompson, the purchaser, is no
stranger to the people of Bellefonte,
as he spent several years here while
superintendent of the State-Centre
Electric company. He is now engag-
ed in the coal business in Clearfield
county. While no definite announce-
ment has been made as to his purpose
in purchasing the property it is ru-
mored that an addition will be built in
the rear of the first floor which will
be converted into a moving picture
theatre, to be operated by Mr. Thomp-
son’s brother, while the upper floors
will be made over into flats for resi-
dential purposes. Of course this is
only a rumor, and it remains for the
future to show what will be done.

of Mrs. Della Miller, of Bellefonte.

parsonage of the 13th street Meth-
odist church, in Philadelphia, and
which was performed by the pastor,
took place while the bride was east
on her summer vacation. The bride-
groom’s brother, Walter Calvert, of
Philadelphia, was present at the wed-
ding.
The bride has been with the Bell
Telephone company as an operator
for six years. During ‘he war she
