“Twas Bat the Trath.
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.

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

While talking about potatoes, all

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.

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.
