BELLEFONTE LARGEST
While most of the townships and
some of the towns in Centre county
have gone downhill, so far as popu-
lation is concerned, in the past ten
years, Bellefonte has been steadily
forging upward and now has the
largest resident population of any
town in the county, according to
the figures of W. H. Freemyer,
census supervisor, who says the
1930 returns show 4804, against
3996 in 1920. This is a gain of 808
in ten years. The North ward re-
turns are 2148, South ward 1869
and West ward 787. In the entire
out of a job and looking for work
on April 1st.
With only a few exceptions the
1930 census returns from the town-
ships in Centre county show a loss
in population from the returns of
1920. -Unless this loss is made up
in the boroughs and villages the
total population will fall consider-
ably below that of 1920, when it
was 44,404. Of course it is hardly
likely it will be reduced to such an
extent as to endanger the county’s
standing as a separate judicial dis-
trict, which requires a population of
40,000.
The 1930 returns from Walker
township give a population of 1041,
against 1064 in 1920, a loss of 23.
103 farms were listed in the county
and 5 men were out of employment
and looking for work.
Marion township returns show a
population of 418 against 485 in
1920, a loss of 87. Farms enumer-
ated numbered 55.

Monday evening, and sustained al
fracture of his skull which resulted
in his death at the Centre County
hospital at nine o'clock the same
evening. Smith was of a roving
nature and was always desperately
afraid of automobiles. When he
quit work, Monday evening, three
other workmen, with a “bug” car,
offered to give him a ride to camp.
He crawled on and enroute to camp
the “bug” figured in a collision.
Smith was thrown off and was the
only man seriously hurt.
He was 53 years old and a native
of Philadelphia, though later lived
in New Jersey. He was married
but did not live with his wife. A
brother, S. A. Smith, of Philadel-
phia, came to Bellefonte and took
charge of the body which was
shipped to Pitman, N. J, Wednes- |

Parsons, at Unionville, at 4:30 o'clock
llast Wednesday afternoon, when
their daughter, Miss Ethel Parsons,
became the bride of Howard Barton,
son of G. W. Barton, of Union

mony was performed by Rev. M.
C. Piper, of Milesburg, an intimate
friend of both families for some
years. The marital vows were plight-
‘ed beneath an arch of ferns and
flowers. Miss Viola Parsons was
bridesmaid and Charles Barton best
man. The bride wore a gown of
white silk georgette, with a white
veil and carried white roses. The
bridesmaid wore a pink silk gown
and carried pink roses. The guests
were limited to the immediate mem-
pers of the two families. Following
the ceremony a delicious wedding
dinner was served.
The same evening Mr. and Mrs.
Barton motored to Pine Grove Mills
where they spent the night with
relatives of the bride and the fol-
lowing day motored to Saxonburg,
Butler county, to the home of the
pbridegroom’s sister, Mr. and Mrs.

where she had been for a short time

Miss Hayes and Miss Smirnova are

Mr. and Mrs. Roan were also host and
hostess at a farewell dinner given at
the Edmiston home, at State College,
Monday evening.

He has his engine on some road work

discussion of towns and that brought
up Bugersburg and Livonia and we
were amazed at what those two Buffalo
Runners knew about Livonia, which is
the jumping off place in the eastern
end of the county. They told us of a
fried oyster supper they had there once
and how full they'd gotten—of oysters
of course, but they let another cat out
of the bag about a camp in that sec-
tion that if both weren't church élders
they never could have made us believe
it was all fried oysters.
