GOING ON.
Along about this time o’ year,
The while I set a-blinkin’
In the warm sunshine here,
I always git to thinkin’
The old farm ain't so bad a place
But what I feel some pity
Fur the blame fools thet’s in the race
Fur gold down in the city.
You don’t ketch me a-prayin’ God
To: better my position,
I only want my fishin’ rod
An’ time to go a-fishin’!
I got a shirt, a pair o’ pants,
Coat, hat an’ appetite;
I know the fish an’ all their ha’nts
An when they're like to bite.
An’ all the clo’es I want is what
Will keep off chill an’ shiver,
While I'm a-settin’ in this spot—
The best along the river.
Ketch me a’combin’ of my hair
An’ wearin’ cuffs an’ collars!
I wouldn't be a millionaire
Fur seven hundred dollars!

——A. Fauble, well known cloth-

a case of toxic poisoning and he is
now able to be about again.

Ark” will be at the State theatre
all next week. This is one of the
pictures that will always stand out

——The Decker Chevrolet Co., is
advertising used cars at very low

obsolete... There are some real bar.

WHITE BROS. GRANTED
GAS STATION PERMIT.
Other Routine Business Transacted
- by Borough Council,
Seven members were present at
the regular session of borough
council on Monday evening, the
absentees being Messrs. Beaver and
Kline.
Secretary Kelly read a permit
from the bureau of fire protection
of the State police granting the
White Bros. permission to erect a
gas station on Spring street,
ject to rules and provisions of the
borough ordinance. Bond White was
station will be located on the rear
of the lot, with a half-circle drive-
way leading in to it. There will be
a small island between the driveway
and the pavement so that cars
being supplied with gas will not
obstruct the pavement. On motion
the permit was granted by council.
H. Laird Curtin was present and
made complaint about sewage
flooding the basement of the Potter-
Hoy hardware store. He stated
that tests had been made from sev-
eral houses on Spring street and
the leakage had been definitely
traced to one house. Councilman
Jodon, who owns the Potter-Hoy
building, corroborated Mr.
The matter was referred to the
Street committee for prompt in-
vestigation and correction of the
nuisance.
A communication was received
from the State fire marshal calling
attention to the fact thac next week
has been designated as general
clean-up week and asking council to
co-operate.
The Street committee reported a
lot of repairs and receipt of $30
from William Kline for a sewer tap.
The Water committee reported
various repairs, making three new
water connections and the collection
of $1350 on water duplicates. The
committee also presented a list of
water taxes on the 1927 and 1928
uncoliectable because of errors and
exonerations, and asked that they
be stricken from the register which
was allowed.
The Finance committee presented
showing a balance of $2398 in the
borough fund and $2522.90 in the
water fund. ' Two notes aggregating
$1800 were ordered paid out of the
borough fund and renewal of old
notes totaling $7100 was authorized,
as well as a new note for $1500 to
meet current bills.
A communication was received
from borough solicitor N. B, Spang-
ler stating that under a recent Act
of Assembly the courts have no
authority to direct the opening of
streets in incorporated boroughs, as
that is entirely a prerogative of the
borough council, and any action
that has been taken in the county
court relative to the opening
of Burnside street is null and
void. Secretary Kelly show-
ed in the ordinance book an or-
dinance that had been passed in
1885 providing for the laying out
and opening of Burnside street,
feet in width, from Spring street
east to the old Lewistown pike; the
street to be opened whenever dam-
ages were assessed and paid.
The Sanitary committee presented
the monthly report of health officer
S. M. Nissley in which he stated
that there are only two quarantines
on in the town, one for chicken pox
and one measles. New permits
for 1930 have also been issued to
milk dealers.
At the request of the Special com-
mittee J. C. Carpeneto reported that
practically all owners of business
houses in Bellefonte and quite a
number of merchants had signed up
the rebate agreement if lower in-
surance rates are made possible by
action of borough council. Mr.
Emerick suggested that some action
be taken on the proposed fire and
building zone ordinance and the
next meeting night was set as the
date for final reading and either
passing or rejection.
Borough bills totaling $1649.62 and
water bills $1143.96 were approved
for payment, after which council
adjourned,
F. G. ROGERS RE-ELECTED
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
F. G. Rogers was re-elected
county superintendent of public
schools, at a meeting of school di-
rectors of the county, in the court
house, on Tuesday morning, but as
he had no opposition the entire
proceeding was a rather perfunctory
affair, So much so, in fact, that
only 96 out of a total of 175 direc-
tors attended the meeting.
S. Ward Gramley, president of the
director’s association, was chosen
W.
James F. Uzzell, of Snow Shoe,
nominated Mr. Rogers for a second
term of four years and there being '
no other nominations the secretary
was instructed to cast the ballot |
making Mr. Rogers the unanimous '
choice of the convention. The
salary was fixed at the same figure
as in the past, $3000 per year.

ward the mountains the prospects for a
good crop are not so encouraging.
—Mrs. Robert L. Miller, of Tyrone,
was a Bellefonte visitor between trains,

out a paper. The Miller family, for-
tunately, is one that has not yet been
affected by the many changes made in
railroad circles in Tyrone, and as Mr.
Miller’s work is in connection with the
Middle division they are not likely to
be disturbed.
—That fine old gentleman, Solomon
Poorman, for so many years an esteemed
resident of Bellefonte, will leave for
Pittsburgh, today, to make his future
