Boal, about four miles from Centre Hall, was filled with the large company which had gathered to witness the marriage of his daughter, Miss Mary Agnes, to *harles H. Meyer, of this place.

They were the recipients of a large number of handsome and useful pres- ents, attesting the high esteem in which both are held by their relatives and many friends. Mr. and Mrs. Meyer have returned from their trip and will make their home in Centre Hall, srs fs A AY —————— This Is on the Men, An exchange asks if any one ever knew a woman to blow out the gas or to be bunked by a fellow who wanted to pay a freight bill? Does she get her pocket picked, or lose money on “a on little game?” If she has a roll of mon- ey with her, does she ever flash it when she wants to buy a cake of chew- ing gum? Isn’tita fact that she is wiser with money when she is trav- eling than the men, and more to be trusted ? Instead of a woman having a man along to “protect” her, the dai- ly papers prove that every man who goes away from home should have a woman to act as a guardian and keep him from making a bigger fool of him- self than he naturally is. ems s—— a — Hauling Water. The drouth threatening this section of the county promises to be more pro- nounced than at first anticipated, and already farmers hereabouts are com- pelled to haul their water, the cisterns of those dependent upon them, having run dry. It is always at this time of year that cisterns are filled to over- flowing, and there is an abundance of water, but '™ will be an exception. Streams are all very low which shows little water in the springs from which they are fed. mf fifa Bellefonte Citizens, William F. Smith, prothonotary of Centre county, and ex-Deputy Sheriff George B. Crawford are now citizens of Bellefonte. Mr. Smith lives in the house recently occupied by ex-Register John Rupp, on Bishop street, and Mr. Crawford lives above his store on Bishop street, The people of Belle fonte will be glad to welcome them as citizens.

Mrs. Dunkle fell about two years ago and received an inj ury to the spine, and since then has been suffering from the effects of the fall, which indirect- ly was the cause of her death. The funeral took place Bunday morning from the residence of George Stover, and her remains were taken to Zion for interment, Rev. Basker- ville officiating in the services. Latest Swindling Scheme. The latest swindling scheme is being worked in diflerent sections of the country, and was put in operation in Cambria county. A man well dressed with a business-like air, called upon persons in the rural districts and rep- resented himself as a government de- tective, with the statement that there is much counterfeit coin ir circulation and requested them to show what coin they had in their possession. He would then use a chemical, which would turn the coins black, declare it spurious and take it away, informing that another secret service officer would follow him in a day or two and redeem the coin taken away. The victims said nothing about it for some time out of fear of being arrested for having counterfeit coin in their pos- session, and by this time the swindler is far away. A Berks County Sale. At a Berks county public sale held last week 4,000 people were in attend- As is customary a free dinner is served to all who attend. The gen- tleman who conducted the sale had prepared for the crowd, however, and all present were entertained. Here is what it took to do the baking to sup- ply the hungry multitude: Two bar- rels of sugar, the flour from 30 bushels of wheat, several cans of lard, ete, which were made into hundreds of loaves of bread, 1,200 pies, doughnuts by the basketful, and everything else in the line that can be produced at = rural bakery. ance. - Ar fy —- Death of Mra. Joseph, In the death of Mrs. Bobetha Jo- seph, which occurred on Saturday evening about 8 o'clock, there has pass- ed away one of the oldest lady resi- dent of Bellefonte, she being aged about 82 years.

The restless foes of all that was of good to the town have met the disgust of the better class of the people, and a few of those who were enlisted into the bad work of the disturbers, have left the town for the town's good. We have a nice town, with the mass of our people good and well-meaning and to these can be looked to to frown on wrong doers. All towns have these injurious elements to a greater or less degree, doing nothing good themselves they busy themselves with trying to interfere with all that is laudable in others, never rising above petty jealou- sy and spite. Always support the enterprising and publie spirited men of your town. NS — Af —— br Well Said. The editor of the Big Run Echo is given as the author of these domestic remarks: The way to make public schools a failure is for the parents to be continually finding fault with the teacher. It makes no difference how good a teacher he is or how well edu- cated, by finding fault and meddling with all he does you can make the school a failure and ruin the reputa- tion of the teacher. When your child comes home with some little story of his teacher not doing right, uphold him in it and denounce the teacher, and say he is not fit to drive chickens to water; tell your neighbor's children that their teacher is a failure and they might as well have a “wooden man’ as the teacher they have. Go to stores and before the crowd of loafers hold up the little faults of the teacher, magni- fying them about 500 per cent. BSeize every opportunity to say a mean word about him. It makes no difference if there is not a word of truth in what they say. Just keep on in this tune and you will succeed admirably and your school will the worst that it has been for years, No school can be a success without the hearty sup- port of the scholars and the patrons of the school. Just as soon as you get the confidence of the pupils and pa- trons completely shaken in the teach- er, you have done your work. The school will be a failure; the children will not do any good; their whole win- ter's schooling will be lost. Bat what difference does this make, just so you succeed in making the school a failure 7 TH be sma tof eomimminsins To Prevent Pipe Rusting, To prevent unused stoves and pipe from rusting through the summer is an item of domestic economy worthy of consideration. Stoves and pipe left standing through the summer, even in rooms in which there is a little per- ceptible dampness, will rust before one's eyes unless light fires are ocea- sionally built to rid the air of moist- ure which surely exists and will leave telling marks, especially if there is running water or a dripping faucet on the same floor. Russia pipes put away for the summer should first be careful- ly wrapped in a newspaper; if there are several stoves to be cared for each outfit should be labeled. ——r—— ——— Going Up. THERE is a steady increase in the REPORTER'S circulation, which it af fords us pleasure to note and can be shown to any one interested.
