People who go shop- ping haven't the time to run from one store to another. They are thoroughly posted on the places where they can get what they want. The newspaper saves them much time and trouble, and the thrifty merchant is the one who makes the advertising a necessary adjunct to his business, IR A The Best Evidence, The REPORTER'S list is growing, not slowly, but with additions of many new names right along. This is with- out solicitation or a canvasser, and there is no better or more satisfactory recommendation that it publishes all the news all the time. Nothing is missed and you get a live energetic sheet every week right along. Wanted, at Lyon & Co's store, Bellefonte, 50,000 lbs. of Wool 360 pair Men's All Wool Pants, worth 3.00 and 4.00. DOWN.

The street lighting was kept up remarka- bly well for several months, up until the last month, when the lights began to wane and finally vanished altogeth- er. Last Bunday night when church was out the people groped their way home in darkness, tramping lightly and feelingly over our broken and di- lapidated walks, Fortunately no ac cident occurred and the people got home safely.
