Corn, oats and potatoes have been planted a little late, yet in ample time to turn out well with a fairly favora- ble summer. The fruit, thus far, seéms all right. Many of our farmers are wisely curtailing their wheat acreage on account of the low prices and no prospect of geting any better, msmss—————s A df Have It Abated. he everlasting mud puddie in the square should have been abated long ago as a nuisance, It is a disgrace to the town. The council should take such steps as will oblige the pike com- pany to do a little work there for de- cency’s sake, as the puddle or puddles are clearly on the property of the pike. If the council will not do its duty in the matter, citizens can make complaint to court, and find a reme- dy. The shame has existed for a num- mil malian ber of years. 7” Should Have 5 Hallroad, ’ With a new railroad to Bellefonte, ifthere could also be one through Brush valley, our county would have all needed railroad facilities, It is a pity the Bellefonte and Mill Hall branch was not located through Brush valley, from West Milton to Bellefonte, This would have been a practicable route and opened up an immense lum- ber region in the Brush valley narrows, and given Bellefonte better benefits, Still, we look forward to the time when a milway will run through Brush valley. gp Summer Is Here, Sammer has started in all at once, and in right good earnest, with sun- shine that really means business.
