In our mention, last week, of the
marriage of Mr. James Lane to Miss
Thomazine Thomas, we stated that
she was the eldest daughter of Ja-
cob V. Thomas. This was incorrect. |
What we meant to say was that she !
was the eldest of his then two single
daughters.

On Sunday morning last, two men
broke jail here. Their names are
supposed to be Ringgold and Baum-
gardner and there is a reward of $50
for their recapture. Ringgold was
arrested for having robbed the Bush
house. He is said to have a cabin
somewhere near Kylertown. He is
a very bad man, evidently, and it is
thought he is the fellow who robbed
so many homes in the Bald Eagle
valley lately.

HILE.—Death came quite sudden-
ly to James Otis Hile,
Gap, at 2:30 o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon. He was a stonemason by
occupation and was at .work build-
ing the foundation wall for a garage
for Boyd Rachau, his near neighbor.
Mr. Rachau was assisting him and
did not notice anything unusual in
Mr. Hile’s appearance or actions.
Suddenly he threw up his hands and
fell to the ground without uttering
a word or even a struggle. A phy-
sician was hastily summoned who
stated that death had evidently been
instantaneous as the result of a se-
vere heart attack.
He was a son of Adam and Eliza-
beth Hile, both deceased, and was
born at Pleasant Gap on March 11th,
1866, hence was 63 years, 8 months
and 2 days old. As a young man he
learned the stonemason trade and
followed that occupation all his life.
Most of his three score and three
years were spent at the Gap where
he was honored and respected by all
who knew him. He was a genial
gentleman, kind and accommodating,
and always ready to lend a helping
hand in any kind of an emergency.
He was a member of ithe P. O. S. of
A. and the Heptasophs.
As a young man he married Miss
Phoebe Bilger who survives with two
children, Fremont Hile and Mrs.
Frank Knarr, both of Pleasant Gap.
He also leaves three brothers, Wil-
liam Hile, of Youngstown, Ohio;
Lawrence and Harry, of Pleasant
Gap.
Funeral services will be held at his
late home tomorrow, at 2:30
o'clock p. m., by Rev. W. J. Wagner,
of the Lutheran church, burial to be
made in the Pleasant Gap cemetery.

BECHDEL.—Frederick Bechdel, a
native of Beech Creek, was a victim
of the typhoid fever epidemic that
now exists at Rossiter, Indiana
county, having died, on Sunday, of
pneumonia following a siege of the
fever.
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. C. Bechdel and was born at
Beech Creek thirty years ago. Dur-
ing the past six years he had lived
at Rossiter, where he was overseer
of a large farm. He married Miss
Mary Pletcher, of Blanchard, who
survives with two small children. He
also leaves his parents, four sisters
and a brother, namely: Mrs. Ray
Collins, of Ann Arbor, Mich.; Mrs.
Harold Clark and Mrs. Clarence
Earon, of Altoona; Charlotte and
Frank, at home. i
A singular coincidence is the fact
that his death occurred on the elev-
enth anniversary of that of a broth-
er, who was killed in the World war
the day before the signing of the
Armistice. The remains were tak-
en to Beech Creek where funeral
services were held at the home of his
parents, at two o’clock yesterday af-
ternoon, burial being made in the
Disciple cemetery, at Blanchard.

comes word of the death there, on
October 24th, of Thomas J. Gregg,
descendant of one of the old-time
families of Centre county and a dis-
tant relative of Pennsylvania's War

BELLEFONTE D. A. R. HOLDS
INTERESTING MEETING
It was the privilege of Bellefonte
chapter, D. A. R., at its November
meeting in the Presbyterian chapel,
on Thursday evening, to hear a
scholarly and highly interesting ad-
dress on ‘Recent Developments in
the Textile Industry,” by a member
of the chapter, Mrs. Warren B.
Mack, of State College. Mrs. Mack,
who is an instructor in the depart-
ment of chemistry at the Pennsyl-
vania State College, told graphically
of the research work she is doing in
textiles for the Home Economics As.
sociation of America, illustrating her
remarks on rayon by specimens of
it in its various stages of develop-
ment from raw material to finished
product.
Interesting, too, were the reports
brought from the State conference
at New Castle by the Chapters’ del-
egates, Dr. Lucretia V. T. Simmons,
regent, Mrs. W. G. Chambers, first
vice regent and Miss Sabra W.
Vought, recording secretary, and al-
So by letter from Mrs. Edwin Erle
Sparks. The Bellefonte Chapter has
the distinction, it was noted at the
Conference, of being the only one in
the State having three Honorary
State Regents and when gifts to
the fund for the memorial window
at Valley Forge were made in behalf
of the Chapter by several of its
members, one was designated as a
special tribute to them: Mrs. Wilbur
F. Reeder, Miss Helen E. C. Over-
ton and Mrs. Edwin Erle Sparks.
The dignity and order of proced-
ure in the Conference, and the vig-
or and skill of business transaction
proved Mrs Joseph M. Caley a very
able State Regent.
_ A gift of $10 towards the restora-
tion of the Old Indian Fort marker,
fear Centre Hall, has been made by
rs. Austin O. Furst, the Chapter’s
den Hall, following an illness of "frst regent, during whose regency
some months as the result of a heart
affection. He was born in Northum-
berland county and was 79 years, 8
months and 28 days old. He was a
resident at Lemont for many years
and was engaged in the undertaking
business. His wife died twenty
years ago and his only survivors are
one daughter, Mrs. Martz, and a son,
Levi Roan, of Williamsport. Burial
will be made in the Branch cemetery
today.

MELLON PROPOSES
INCOME TAX CUT
Secretary Mellon announced on
Wednesday that, with the approval
of President Hoover, he would rec-
ommend to Congress a reduction of
approximately $160,000,000 in the in-
come taxes to be collected next year.
The probable program calls for a
one per cent. reduction of the nor-
mal tax on individual and corpora-
tion incomes, applicable to the 1929
earnings.
“That is to say,” said the treasury
head’s formal statement, “on the.

that Eckel was the owner of the
same. The case was bitterly fought
from start to finish and did not
reach the jury until four o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon. Yesterday

THAT CORRUGATED ROAD
Of all the roads I've ever seen
The one from ‘the Gap’ to Zion, I
mean,
Is worst, for not even a toad
Can navigate on that corrugated road.
On Sunday last we thought of a drive,
To see if all the folks were)alive,
And all we saw was the present abode
Of the machine that made that corru-
gated road.
We stopped at the edge of Pleasant Gap
To inquire what made our Packard snap
And the fellow replied, in a funny mode,
“It was that doggone corrugated road.
When Corman and Gentzel are hauling
the milk
Just look and see whether any is spilt,
Remember the ponies they always rode
But not over that corrugated road.
When all is said and nothing done
And you go out on Sunday for a little
run
You might have debts you long have owed
But not for making that corrugated
road.
