365 Days Ahead of Any
Store in-Centre County.
Last Saturday evening an intelli-
gent citizen of Bellefonte called me
aside and asked me “why I didn’t
publish a price list, and spread it
broadcast over the [ county.” ‘He
insisted that if the people actually
knew how much lower my prices
were than any store in Bellefonte,
I would be forced to double the
number of clerks to wait on the
crowds.
%
I know his idea is a good one,
and until 1 can get out that price
list, would ask U to Kom and C
how it is Urself.

REPAIRING THE RESERVOIR,
The Council Taking the Work OIF the Con-
tractor's Hands,
The council has concluded to repair
their reservoir themselves and acecord-
ingly started a gang of men to work
on the basin last week.
The contract was given to the Ma-
lone brothers to build the basin, The
job was to cost about $1200, nearly all
of which was paid the contractor.
From the first the council found fault
with the job, claiming that the reser-
voir would not hold water and leaked
at several places. When they settled
with the contractors the council with-
held about $150 until the basin was re-
paired to their satisfaction, Three or
four weeks ago contractor Malone was
in town, and sizing up the situation,
concluded to allow the council to make
the repairs themselves, which was con-
sidered a wise move on his part by
many.
The stone facing and clay tamping
on the west end has been removed,
and that on the south side will also be
taken out. The work to be done is
enormous, and some of our citizens are
already beginning to find fault with]
the recklessness and incompetency |
shown. The council is partly at sea as |
to how they can make the repairs and |
are considering doing away with the
stone fence idea and use planks instead |
for the gides, Bome citizens filed
vigorous kick against this idea, claim-
ing that one reservoir was constructed |
on this idea and that the town had!
enough of it.

The Spring Mills Coal Prospect.
Spring Mills is still hopeful on the
signs of coal found on the Snavely lot,
while drilling for water. The water,
might indicate oil in the bottom.
Samuel Burrell, it appears, impelled |
by public spiritedness, has purchased |
which a half dozen shafts are
tain, with a view to getting down ta
the black diamonds We would
bors and investment will richly
ward him as he deserves.
The Reporter has also been informed |
that samples of this coal have been
submitted to experts and pronounced |
anthracite of an inferior quality. Per |
haps the No. 1 will be found down |
deeper.

“Owe No Man Anything »
“Owe no man anything, save to love
one another,” Rom. 13:8. These words
were the subject of a discourse by Rev,
Rearlek, in the Lutheran church, last
Sabbath evening, and riveted the 'at-
tention of his hearers, to the timely
and forcible words of reproof of the
prevailing sin of dishonesty. Inten-
tionally do men buy with no intention
to pay, and wear the stigma of having
cheated a neighbor. Many flowers are
worn upon hats and fine clothes upon
the person which are never paid for
and fraudulently obtained at another's
expense, This spectacle we behold
daily and proves that the divine in-
junction, tg love one another and owe
po man anything, is despised by some
people and they prefer to stamp them-
selves with the bad odor of dishonesty.
The text implies there is no heaven for
one who will not pay his honest debts
and whose transactions are with a
view to get something and never in-
tending to pay for it.
The pastor proceeded to mention a
few of the many devices made use of
by dishonest men to cheat their fellow
men, viz: Pleading the limitation to
escape paying an honest debt; plead-
{low man; putting your property in
i your honest debts—these plans to be
i dishonest may help you out under the
