THE NEW RACKET No. 9-11 Crider's Exchange, Bellefonte, Though the store is easily the largest and many disinterested per- sons say the best intown, and is as chock full of Dry Goods, Notions, Shoes, Novelties and everything U an think of as a little red wagon, and all of it selected with great care, after an experience of twenty-five years trading with Centre co. peo- ple, we would hardly expect U to i us if we said that “our stock was larger than all the stores of Bellefonte combined.” We know U are too intelligent to believe any such thing, and we would expect U to receive anything we might say hereafter with due allowance, and if we were to put out flaming ad- vertisements stating that we were gelling goods much lower than our neighbors and when U come to buy U would find none lower and many higher for inferior goods, we would be sure U would avoid us hereafter and it would serve us right. The lacket has earned a reputation for honest advertising, fair dealing, standard goods, low prices. And We Are Proud Of It. G. R. BPIGELMYER, SHEM SPIGELMYER, Jr. Bellefonte, Pa.

On last Sabbath morning, 9, this community lost its oldest and one of its best known citizens, in jthe death of John H, Keller, at the home of his son-in-law, John Conley. Mr. Keller had been in failing health for the past few years, but surrounded by his own children, his son, Mr. James A. Keller and his daughter, Mrs. Kate Conley, with whom he had his home, all was done for him to make his deciining years pleasant and comfortable as pos- sible for one who had never been other than a kind and loving father. His wife died in 1878, seventeen years ago. A daughter, Maggie, married to Levi Murray, died some twenty years ago. Several of his children died in infancy. The aged widow Boozer, of this place, is a surviving sister of the deceased. Mr. Keller was liberal and public spirited and kindly disposed towards his fellow men, acting the neighbor in every sense of the word, He was an ardent member of the Reformed chureh, and one of the main-stays and most liberal contributors of the congre- gation in this place and one of its founders. We knew him long and well and never met him but what he had a smile and kindly remark. He was an earnest advocate of the Lewis- burg & Tyrone railroad and contribu- ted liberally of his means to insure its construction. In the work of raising subscriptions, guaranteeing right-of- way, ete, the writer hereof found in Mr. Keller a valuable assistant. All home enterprises found encouragement from him. He was a farmer until age required that he retire from that pur- suit, having by industry and hard la- bor amassed enough to insure that ease and comfort due to old age. Mr. Keller was born on the 10th September, 1813, the day of Perry's victory. Within a few week's time a Mrs. Peter Hoffer, of this place, a bro- ther, Christian, of La Jose, died. His brother William, who was county commissioner, died about twenty years on Sanday f Of a sister, a ago.
