NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
Having refused the bid of the
George I. Thompson company, of
Clearfield, for $128,895 for rebuild-
ing the Milesburg road, another let-
ting will be held by the State High-
way Department on September 13th.
In a recent issue of Today,
the interesting publication of the
West Penn Power Co., “the charm-
ingly lighted living room of Mrs. C.
E. Snyder, at State College,” was il-
luatrated as an example of good taste
and effective lighting by electricity.
— The Pennsylvania Railroad
company has scrapped its big heating
plant below the freight station and
is installing individual steam boilers
at both the freight station and pas-
senger depot. This, it is believed, will
effect considerable economy in fuel.
— The Labor day race on the Al-
toona speedway will doubtless at-
tract a great crowd to the bowl next
Monday. Already fourteen of the
world’s most noted speed demons
have entered and three or four are
expected to bid for a chance to start
in the 200 mile classic.
— William Knox, of State Col-
lege, a brother of Rev. Homer C.
Knox, of Bellefonte, on Wednesday,
closed a deal for the purchase of the
Peters auto salvage station, near
Pleasant Gap, and took charge yes-
terday. Mr. Knox formerly conduct-
ed a restaurant at State College.
— According to announcement from
Harrisburg Route 104 is to be im-
proved under the Wheeler-Flynn al-
location... When this work is com-
pleted residents in the eastern end of
the county going to Harrisburg and
points east wili be able to save four-
teen miles in distance by short-cut-
ting from Mifflinburg to McKees
Half Falls, instead of going over
the longer route via Lewisburg.
— —Sixty-six one-hundredth’s of an
inch of rain fell in most portions of
Centre county, last Friday afternoon,
the most rain we have had at any
one time in almost four months. It
was sufficient to soak cultivated
ground to a depth of three inches but
did not go down to the roots of most
garden and field crops. While it
freshened ‘things up for a day or two
it is a question whether it will result
in much good to the corn and late
potato crops.
——About one thousand people at-
tended the annual Williams family
reunion, held at the community park,
in Port Matilda, last Saturday. Of
this number it is quite probable that
at least half of them were either di-
rect members of the family or off-
shoots therefrom. Like every other
similar gathering the day was spent
in “visiting,” various games, putting
away a big dinner, etc, with just
enough of a business meeting to elect
officers of the association for the en-
suing year.
More than 900 of the quota of
1170 new students for the freshman
class entering the Pennsylvania State
College this fall have sent notices of
acceptance of admission to W. 8S.
Hoffman, registrar, stating that they
will be at the college for the open-
ing of Freshman week, September 19
to 25, one week before the opening of
ciasses. Of these 779 are men and 143
women. The quota for women stu-
dents is 170. Enrollment in the six
undergraduate schools is to be prac-
tically the same as last year.
——The special meeting of borough
council which was to have been held
on Monday evening, to meet repre-
sentatives of the Dairyman’s League
in regard to selling them a location
for a milk receiving and shipping
station, was cancelled. The men did
not come to Bellefonte until Monday,
and were then quoted a price for the
land as well as what the borough
council will do in the matter of wa-
ter lines and sewers. They then de-
cided to report the same to the local
branch in Nittany valley and come
before council on Monday evening of
next week.
——Judge A. R. Chase, of Clear-
field, was in Bellefonte on Monday
afternoon, hearing argument in the
injunction proceedings instituted by
O. E. Miles, of Milesburg, against the
Lord Construction company, the
State Highway Department, the Bor-
ough of Milesburg, and amended to
take in Centre county, to restrain
them from taking his land in Miles-
burg for the purpose of widening the
street without resorting to condem-
nation proceedings or posting an in-
demnifying bond. The preliminary
injunction was continued until Sep-
tember 4th for further argument.
——The Warner-American News,
for August, publishes a picture of
Wilbur Bittner, wearing a pair of
goggles with one lens splintered. The
story accompanying the picture says
that two years ago, while Bittner
was working at the grizzly screen,
breaking stone that was too large to
go through the grizzly, a spawl shat-
tered the right lens in his goggles
but did not injure him. - Several
weeks ago, while working at the
same place, another spawl shattered
the left lens in his goggles. The se-
quel drawn is that it pays to wear
goggles while sledging stone. Had Mr.
Bittner not been wearing them he
might have been blind today instead
of having two good eyes:
GRANGERS IN ANNUAL
Have Unprecedented Weather
for 56th Annual Encamp-
ment and Fair at Cen-
tre Hall.
Not since the Grangers of Centre
during this, their 56th annual en-
campment and fair. And the weath-
er has not been the only unusual fac-
tor in the success of this constantly
growing social, educational and
amusement enterprise of the Patrons
of Husbandry.
There are more tenters, more visi-
tors, more exhibits, more fakirs and
more entertainments on the spacious
grounds at Centre Hall this year than
ever before. By day the place is
awhirl with instructional advantages
for those who go to learn of the pro-
gress in agriculture and by night it
is a miniature replica of Coney island.
Up to noon yesterday the program
as published in the Watchman, last
week, had been carried out to the
letter and every scheduled event from
the Harvest Home services, last Sun-
day afternoon, to the farewell show-
ing of the Grange players in the aud-
itorium last night, was a feature of
interest in itself.
FINE LINE OF EXHIBITS.
While the season has not been
propitious for vegetation.one would
scarcely know it in passing through
the two buildings devoted to products
of the field and garden. Vegetables,
fruits, plants and flowers are there in
the usual variety and great quantity,
with the possible exception of apples
and pumpkins. And for the most
part the exhibits are well up to the
standard of quality usually seen at
the fair.
The new building for housing the
special exhibits by the Granges of
the county and the vocational schools
holds special interest for there the
exhibits reveal what sectional com-
petition stimulates. The displays of
the seven Grange organizations are
a show in themselves and the covet-
ed prizes for them were awarded as
follows: 1st, Victor Grange; 2nd,
Spring Mills Grange; 3rd, Logan
Grange; 4th, Progress Grange; 5th,
Washington Grange; 6th Union
Grange; 7th, Rebersburg Grange.
The exhibit of the Spring Mills vo-
cational school work covers every-
thing in the line of domestic and
household arts and manual training.
It is a magnificently displayed ex-
emplar of what the youth of the
county is doing by way of develop-
ing natural talents.
Impressive, also, is the exhibit of
the basketry club of the Centre Hall
High school of which J. F. Wetzel
is instructor, Eugene Colyer presi-
dent, Fred Luse secretary and Paul
Palmer treasurer.
LIVE STOCK APLENTY.
From the Grange building to the
new piggery it is only a few steps
through a labyrinth of farm machin-
ery and the mid-way. In this build-
ing are twenty-four pens of the fin-
est kind of Berkshire, Poland China
and Chester White hogs. The largest
exhibitors are Peters Bros, of
Stormstown, whose showing netted
them a Junior champion and seven
first awards. The Pennsvalley Stock
Farms’ Berkshires won grand
champions and eleven firsts. L. O.
Corman and son, of Beech Creek, are
showing Chester Whites and they are
a fine lot of animals.
In the two large cattle barns are
Holsteins, Guernseys, Jerseys and
short-horns, enough of them to fill
both barns. Peters Bros., of Storms-
towns, have a showing of Holsteins
that would command attention at a
national dairy show. The Aulworth
farms, of State College, S. B. Was-
son owner have a lot of splendid type
of Guernseys and the Hill Crest
farm, Rebersburg, J. V. Brungart
owner, is showing an accredited herd
of Jerseys.
A GREAT POULTRY SHOW.
It is fitting that the new poultry
building should be dedicated right
and a visit to it will prove that that
is just what actually happened. While
it was erected to take care of all
needs for some years to come the
Kerlin Poultry Farm, of Centre Hall;
the Bear Meadows farm, of Boals-
burg; Hennigh's Whiterock farm, of
Spring Mills and J. C. Robison grow-
er of Rhode Island Reds and other
exhibitors filled ‘it to overflowing with
a display of rabbits, guinnea pigs,
turkeys, ducks and chickens such as
we have never seen in‘ Centre coun-
ty before.’ ::@ ; J
No more convincing evidence of
the growing importance of dairying
and poultry raising in Centre county
could be presented than what is tobe
seen in the three large buildings de-
voted to cattle and chickens on the
park.
All in all, the 5th annual encamp-
ment of the Patrons of Husbandry of
Central Pennsylvania at Centre Hall
has been an epoch making one. We
should think that if the spirit of its
founder, the late Hon. Leonard
Rhone, was abroad on the park this
week it would have realized that its
dreams of fifty-six years ago were
more than coming true. It would
also say to Johm S: Dale, chairman
and Mrs. Edith Sankey Dale, secre-
county Granges, who are carrying on
the work: Well done, faithful and in-
of splendid weather as has prevailed !

county begun picnicking in 1873 have |

HALL FAMILY REUNION
ON DIX RUN TOMORROW.
A gathering of the Hall family
clan will be held at the ancestral
home of Robert Hall, on Dix Run, -
in Union township, tomorrow. This
will be the first gathering of this
well known family and plans have
been made for forming a permanent
reunion association and perpetuating
the records of a name that has been
prominently
tory of ‘Centre county,
its organization.
The family dates back to 1796
when John W. Hall and wife, Han-
nah Armont Hall, came to Bellefonte
from Delaware county and located
here. He was an expert black-
smith, a trade followed by his an-
cestors for a number of generations.
In fact there is a story current
among the present generation of
Halls that a paternal ancestor was
brought to this country from Eng-
land by William Penn because of his
skill as a blacksmith. John W. Hall,
who came to Bellefonte in 1796, fash-
ioned the first trip-hammer used in
Centre county. It was a somewhat
crude affair, and operated by water
power, but did the work. After the
organization of Centre county in
1800 Mr. Hall was elected to serve
‘the county in the Legislature, being
the first representative from Centre
{ county. The first white child born in
| Bellefonte was Robert C. Hall, a
| grandson of John W.
Most of the men in the Hall con-
nection were blacksmiths and the big
iron fish used as a weather vane on
the court house was hammered out
‘of a sheet of iron by one of
them, but whether it was put up at
the time the court house was erected
in 1805 or later is not known. Up
at the Bellefonte Union cemetery,
along Howard street, is a double
iron gate hanging between two
stone pillars, which was hand made
by one of the Hall's over one hun-
dred years ago, and while it is now
covered with rust it has held its
shape all these years and if cleaned
up would be as sturdy as ever.
One branch of the Hall family lo-
cated in Bald Eagle valley and the
men folks were reputed among the
mightiest hunters of that early day,
. when the mountains were alive with
wild game. Eventually they became
! tillers of the soil and in this vocation
proved as successful as they had in
other endeavors. So it will be seen
that whoever may be selected as his-
torian at the Hall reunion tomorrow
| will have a rich field to work in, in
the preparation of a family record.
even before
The Bierly family reunion was held
at Booneville, Clinton county, on
Wednesday of last week, at which
time Rev. W. C. Bierly, of State Col-
lege, was elected president of the as-
sociation for the ensuing year.

'POORMAN FAMILY
IN ANNUAL REUNION.
The 23rd annual reunion of the
Poorman families was held in Locust
Grove, Runville, Saturday, Aug. 24th.
! The day was ideal in every way and
I nearly two hundred of the connec-
{tion gathered in the beautiful grove
from Runville, Yarnell, Bellefonte,
| Milesburg, State College, Snow Shoe,
| Altoona, Holts Hollow and elsewhere.
i Every one was there bent on having
la good time and in a mood to enjoy
| the day.
| All joined in the sport of pitching
horse shoes and other games til the
noon hour, when they were called to
‘the tables laden with all the good
i things of the season, prepared in a
{way such as this family connection
{is capable of doing. In the afternoon |
| there were races by the children for
i prizes, and older folks with the
match box on the nose, which helped
to add to the pleasure and enjoyment
of the occasion.
Afterwards the regular business
session was held and officers elected
for the ensuing year. Daniel Poor-
man, the senior of the connection,
was unanimously re-elected president
and all- the other officers necessary
for the organization were re-elected.
Memorials were read of those of the
connection who had passed out dur-
ing the year, five in number. It was
decided at the close of the business
session to hold the reunion next year
at the same time and place.
The remainder of the time was
spent in real enjoyment and fellow-
ship until the supper hour, when
those who remained again gathered
around the tables and enjoyed the
good things left from dinner. Al
returned to their homes with the
unanimous opinion that it was one of
the most enjoyable of all the reun-
fons they had the privilege of attend-
ing.

——_ Water superintendent J. D.
Seibert is, this week, installing the
new drinking fountains at the court
house yard and High street bridge.
In digging the ditch for the water
pipe and drain it was necessary to go
down a little over three feet and not
a sign of moisture was to be found
in the ground anywhere, which shows
the results of the prolonged drouth.

———Airplanes of all kinds sailed
over Bellefonte early in the week,

field no particulars in connection
with the big ship were obtainable.
