FIFTY YEARS AGU
IN CENTRE COUNTY
Items taken from the Watchman issue
of July 22, 1881.
—Sixty-five liquor dealers have
been arrested in Wilkes-Barre for
keeping their bars open on Sunday.
—Among the railroad rumors that
are afloat is one to the effect that
the survey that has been about com-
pleted up Beech Creek to Snow Shoe
is for a railroad that will eventually
link in Gould's great
Wabash system. The other is that
just as soon as the Scotia branch
of the Lewisburg and Tyrone rail-
road is completed engineers will be
put on that section of the road be-
tween Hess' and Lemont, then the
ironed from Lemont to
and the entire line made
ready for operation by fall. A third
rumor is to the effect that a road
will be built up Buffalo Run to Fil-
more and from there across the bar-
rens to connect with the L. & T at
Scotia.
—E. C. Bender, for four years
editor and publisher of the Philips-
burg Journal, has retired from that
paper, leaving it in the hands of Mr,
- T. Bair, his assistant for the past
two years.
—A goodly number of our citizens
will accompany Gregg Post to Get-
tysburg. The Post will leave here
this morning for the encampment.
—George Wolf, the noted tinner,
is just now a specialty of
fruit cans. He makes them by the
hundred and is selling them ata
very low price.
—Last week we stated that Mr,
Edward Humes is the only member
of Bellefonte's first fire company
was a
James H. Rankin a
and Albert Ammerman were both
members of the organization and
they are living here.
—A goodly number of our sub-
stantial citizens assembled in Gen.
Beaver's office last Monday evening
to discuss the advisability of organ-
izing a Board of Trade. After con-
siderable deliberation it was decided
that such an organization might prove
advantageous to the town and com-
mittees were appointed to effect one.
—Mrs. J. N. Cassanova and Miss
Irene Humphrey were thrown from
a carriage in which they were riding,
in Philipsburg, a few days ago.
Their horses took fright at a drove
of sheep and ran away. Miss Hum-
phrey was slightly hurt, but Mrs.
Cassanova escaped without injury.
—The old Father Linn residence
at the corner of High and Spring
streets is very nearly torn down and
by the time this paper reaches its
readers will be no more. The proper-
ty now belongs to the Centre Coun-
ty Banking Company. A fine brick
building for banking and other pur-
poses is to be erected there at once.
—Sparks from the cupalo of the
foundry at the Bellefonte Car
Works set the roof of the machine
shop afire last Tuesday afternoon.
For a time there was great con-
sternation lest the entire plant would
be destroyed and the 200 employees
thrown out of work. The danger
was very real, for while both fire
companies were there promptly there
were no plugs to attach hose to.
Finally some one thought of the
old fashioned pumper belonging
to the Undines. It was dragged
out to the scene and its suction
pipe thrown into the race. Then many
willing ones lent a hand at the pump
and a great, strong stream of water
was lifted to the roof of the burning
building, soon putting a quencher on
the flames.
—A little son of Mr. McKeever,
proprietor of the Brockerhoff house,
fell into Spring creek from the high
board-walk opposite this office Mon-
Howard Spangler,
one of the Watchman employees,
saw him fall, instantly rushed down
into our press room, jumped out a
window into the stream and got him
just in time, for he was floating
face-downward down the stream. The
lad was suffering with a broken col-
lar bone at the time and was practi-
cally helpless when he landed in the
water.
-—A rat ran amuck in the Bush
house dining room, the other day,
while seventy-five guests were at
dinner. It is reported that the lady
guests tramped every bit of china-
ware on the tables to bits.
—Bellefonte's first millitary organ-
ization was the “Centre Guards”
formed in 1819. Capt. William Pat-
ton was probably its first command-
er to be succeeded in order by John
Armor and ex-Governor Curtin who
commanded it until 1843 when An-
drew Gregg became its captain.
“The Farmers and Mechanics Infan-
try” was another organization that
flourished here in 1827. In 1832 the
“Bellefonte Greys” were organized.
Later came such historic organiza-
tions as the “Centre Troop,” “Belle-
fonte Infantry,” the “Centre Dra-
goons” and the “Bellefonte Fenci-
bles.” They were mustered into the
service of the State on July 10, 1858,
The armory of the “Fencibles” was
the second story of the stone building,
formerly the Evan Miles hotel, that
stood on the corner where the First
National bank now stands.

ATTRACTIVE FARM HOMES
IN CENTRE COUNTY
BY JOHN M. FLEMING
With today’s issue the Watchman
will inaugurate a series of illustrated
articles dealing with attractive farm
homes in Centre county.
The appreciation of the spots of
beauty made possible by the work
|of the home owners of Centre coun-
ty is generally left to those who vis-
it from distan. ccunties and States.
In turn the people of Centre county
admire the attractive places they see
when vacation time comes around
and they are visitors in distant
places. The other fellow's grass is
always the best. In order that a more
careful appreciation may be had of
the ‘farm homes ins Centre county
that have become atfractive due to
the efforts of the owner and his
family there will appear each week
a picture of some one in the coun-
ty that has merited selection as a
spot of beauty due to the surround-
ings and the condition of the build-
ings.
The selection will
subject to size or splendor but sim-
ple beauty and effort to have the
homestead and grounds neat, clean,
and attractive will be the basis. The
homes of wealth will be in no better
position than those simple cottages
that have been beautified by the
consistent effort and labor of the
home owner and his family,
There are scattered over the coun-
ty farms and country homes that
are attractive to the eye and pleas-
ant for the passerby to look upon.
Some are large and some are small,
but all show distinct beauty in the
clean paint and the flowers and trees
that surround the house. It will be
on these places that our efforts will
center and along with a picture we
will attempt to give a history of the
farm and the family that have made
it a spot that the roadside traveler,
either from at home or abroad, may
look upon as a pleasant place to re- |
side.
The rolling hills and valleys of
Centre county are deserving of much
praise for their scenic beauty and
the home owners who have chosen
these fertile fields as a place of res.
idence are also deserving for the
labor and effort they have put forth
to make Centre county one of the
most beautiful sections in the State.

FOR 1931 ENCAMPMENT.
Depression, hard times or what-
ever the expressive term current
these days, does not fit the spirit
with which the people of Centre
county are making plans for the
coming Grange Fair which will open
on Grange Park, at Center Hall,
Saturday, August 22nd, with all its
accustomed atmosphere of joyous
enthusiasm.
With but few exceptions the camp:
ers of last year are again reserving
tents and locations as usual, anc
judging from the large number of
applicants listed and letters received
almost daily, there is no lessening
in the interest maintained in this
distinctive feature of the Centre Hall
fair. However, it was. deemed wise
by the management to continue the
policy of safety and “pay as you go," |
which has placed this unique institu. |
tion among the few fairs of the
State fortunate enough to be on good
financial footing this season. So but.
twelve new tents have been pur-
chased which is entirely inadequate
to supply the demand, a matter of
great regret to all interested. It is
hoped the disappointed applicants '
will be patient and by another year
circumstances may warrant a larger
increase in the supply of tents.
Arrangements are being made tc
furnish electric current for cooking.
and in order that the lines are in
readiness at the opening of camp.
it is urged that those intending ity
use notify the secretary at once. A
charge of $1.50 will be made eack

tent rents remain the same-—$7.00
