Some of our well-meaning citizens have criticised the policy of the R&- PORTER in publishing the truth of the failure of the new $9000 water plant erected by the boro during the past six months. These citizens claim we are doing the town great harm in making the lamentable conditions public, and will be the means of keeping away some of those who might locate here under the impression that the town is not in debt over the limit, and that this new water system is a blooming success. We published only the truth, which was of such effect that various parties away from here have written back to residents whether the RepPoR- TER'S account was correct on the ac tual conditions in the town. In two instances we have been informed the replies were that all was true, and much remained yet to be told. ss fA ————— Boys and Girls Read This. Here is a pointer for the boys and girls who have just taken up school life this term: Your teachers are your best friends. Whatever they ask you to do, that try to do promptly and cheerfully. Going to school is busi ness for you, just the same as regular trade is business for the older folks, and if you neglect your business now, where and how will you finish your life's work? Think of these things boys and girls, Large Potatoes. While talking about potatoes, all room is taken up and little potatoes set in the shade by two socking big ones, sent to the Reporter office, as samples of the crop raised by W. H. Houser, of near this place ; they are of the Rural York variety, fine fellows, the two weighing 3 pounds 9} ounces. 7 msn fo ———— Fire at Ballefonte. About one o'clock Tuesday morning, the large frame dwelling-house oceu- pied by Margaret and Jennie McLaugh- lin on Lamb St., Bellefonte, was des- troyed by fire. The loss is about $1500, ‘covered by insurance. The fire origin. ated from o defective flue, pe npn WANT TO REACH THE TOWN, The Commercial Telephone Co. Trying te Give Centre Hall Service, The new Central Commercial Tele phone Co., a corporation formed to en- ter the territory of the Bell Company, in the central part of the state, is push- ing ahead with its lines, and is now erecting poles, beiween Lock Haven and Jersey Shore. The charter of the Company includes Clinton, Centre, Lycoming, Clearfield, Huntingdon and Montour counties, The main office of the company is in Bellefonte. In Bellefonte the new company has about one hundred pa- trons to supply with phones at $2 a month. The line has been extended to Lin- den Hall, and a few days ago a canvas was made of the town endeavoring to sell sufficient stock of the company to extend the lines to Centre Hall. From here a trunk line would be run to con- nect with the Home Telephone Com- pany of Lewisburg, at Woodward. The two companies would give their patrons the advantage of all territory free of toll rates. Several subscriptions were taken for slock in the town, but whether suffi- cient to justify the extension of the line has not been learned. The com- pany wants to cover entire Penns and Brush valleys, and if the extension is not made during the coming year, it is sure to be in course of a year or two, The fight promises to be a lively one between the Bell people and their ri- val and the patrons of both may find lower monthly rate. ens fn A A —————— hose Fire Department Sopplies. Several weeks azo there arrived at this station consigned to the boro council over seven hundred feet of hose, two hose carts, nozzles, and apparatus necessury for giving the town the promised fire protection. The goods are now lying in the depot, stowed away in a corner, aod we understand the couacil bes refused to lift them. Some members of the body claim to know nothing of any such order from the maoufaciurers, and wanted to know of other members by whose au- thority the order was placed, also pay for the same. From the laller re- mark the condition of the boro financ- es may be judged. the manufacturer's hands suit in court may follow. The fire supplies may be of great service to the town with the present $9,000 water plant. Should a fire break out, a couple sec- tions of hose could be attached to the doable fire hydrants and the fire blown out. There is always pleaty of wind in the maios if there is no water. a aif enlfiema— Prom nen: Philipsbacrger Dead The communpiiy, says the Philips- burg Ledger, was shocked od Friday ton, ove of Philipsburg's prominent citizens, had died at 11 o'clock Lhe night before.
