ANOTHER t PATRIARCH 4 GONE,
William Bible, the Last of our Aged Ones
Called Henoe,
William Bible died at his home near
this place, on last Sabbath night, at
11 o'clock. He was conscious to the
last : his sickness, was old age, and he
was laid up about a week before his
end, altho his condition was frail forjat
least a year. He passed away quietly.
He had reached the age of 54 years on
the 13 of March, last. He was born in
Lebanon county, and came with his
parents to this vicinity when a lad and
resided here up to his death. He was
an industrious farmer all his lifetime,
His wife died some 8 or 9 years ago.
They had four children, namly, Mrs,
Hiram Durst ; William, killed at the
battle of Chancellorsville ; and Lizzie
and Annie still remaining at the pa-
rental homestead, He was a member
of the Lutheran church and lived a
blameless life. He made no enemies
always paying strict attention to his
own affairs and confining himself to
the welfare of his family, and was
honest and upright in all his dealings.
Mr. John Bible, of near Potter's Mills,
is a brother of the deceased.
Funeral this, Thursday, morning at
10 o'clock.

Good Health,
In no year, for long time, has
there been less sickness in this valley
than during this summer, and we do
not believe any other section of the

THE PICNIC OVER,
Threatening Weather Interferes With the
Event the Last of the Week,
The Granger pienic is now a thing
of the past. It practically ended on
Friday evening, but there was much
going on Saturday and later, A good
sized crowd was in attendance on
Thursday, estimated at least ten thou-
sand people, The regular trains and
specials came in loaded with from sev-
en to ten cars each. The weather in
the morning was fine, but in the after-
noon a heavy rain storm passed over
the valley, but the Par k only got in on
the edge. The sun soon came out and
every one’s hopes revived. The Park
was swept by a high wind. A sudden
gust caught up the canvas and frame
work under which the Hanover Ma-
chine Co. had their exhibit and blew
it over. There were several people un-
der it when it went over, and there
were narrow escapes from the flying
timbers. A heavy water wheel was
blown over on a man, and he only es-
caped being crushed by the wheel fall-
ing on a plow. The fellow crawled
out badly frightened,
Friday was a fair day and several
thousand people visited the ground.
The weather was just right. The ses-
sions in the auditorium were all well
attended and the addresses were deliv-
ered by officials of the grange and oth-
ers prominent in public life. In the
afternoon there was a start towards a
breaking up. Campers were moving

Big Display of Fall Goods,
Mr. Katz, of the Globe, Bellefonte,
has just returned from New York
where he purchased an immensely
large stock of Fall and Winter goods,
The goods are now ready on the coun-
ters for the inspection of their patrons.
The firm has built up a very large
trade since they have been at the Coun-
ty seat, and have enjoyed the confi
dence of all. The senior member
made a very large purchase of goods
for his firm and was successful in se
curing them at very low figures, and
they will be offerald accordingly.
Great Fall Opening.
The Fall opening for Millinery and
Ladies’ wraps at The Globe, Belle
