All About the Halls,
An intelligent and highly cultured |
gentleman, recently located in the |
county, inquired of the Reporter why |
so many places had the aflix of “hall” |
their names, whether in honor of |
foe prominent family. No, there |
was no family of such prominence.
Nittany Hall was among the first to
be thus baptized, and away back be-|
came a pleasant, popular social centre.
As other localities grew into existence
needing a “habitation and a name,’
it was taken for granted that by tack-
ing “hall” to the tail end, brought
with it all that was giving Nittany
Hall a local reputation. Hence origi-
nated the craze, giving us Millhall,
Coverly Hall, Centre Hall, Linden
Hall, Oakhall, Pinehall and some oth-
er halls. Those “halls’’ not yet out of
their teens, had better begin to lop off
their terminals so as to avoid making
confusion worse confounded.
“Hall” used to be added to the names
of popular holsteries as significant of
spaciousness,

Be Somebody and of Real Use
What are you doing to help your
town in a solid way and out of your
own means? Some can do much, but
are not there when needed. Some can
do only little and do that with a wil-
Jing heart. Some desire only to reap
benefits from the public spirit of oth-
ers and skin and delve and scrape for
themselves where others have provid-
ed the harvest. Be of some solid use
in your community ; work in harmo-
ny with all that are for progress, en-
terprise, and of public spirit—herein is
found the true man and useful citizen,
in whom is found neither jealousy, en-

What Centre Gounty Got.
Centre county last year received
from the state $46,504.97 for the sup-
port of its common schools ; this year
it will receive but $42,660.45. The coun-
ty loses $3033.64 a year on account of
Governor Stone's veto of a part of the
appropriation.

Teachers’ Examination,
Last Friday, Co. Buperintendent
Gramley held his teachers’ examina-

He had a class of fourteen, four or five

MEMORIAL SERVICES,
Tribute Pald to Onur Herole Dead Yesterday
with Memorial Services,
The Memorial Day services were ap-
propriately observed at Centre Hall
yesterday, and with fitting ceremonies
proper tribute was paid to the memory
of departed heroes who went to the
front to give up their lives in defense
of their country when its government
was threatened with disruption and
internal dissensions.
The day opened with a cloudy and
threatening aspect. The weather was
portending rain, heavy clouds over-
hanging, with an occasional drop of
rain falling.
In the morning a detail of about
twenty men, of Co. B, 6th Regiment,
came over from Bellefonte, to decorate
the graves of John Thomas, who died
in the service during the Spanish-
American war, and Robert Murray,
two members of the company who
died and are interred in the Centre
Hall cemetery. The squad was in
charge of Lieuts, Taylor and Garbrick.
The men formed at the diamond and
marched to the cemetery. A good
sized crowd was present to witness the
services. The soldiers lined up at the
were strewn with flowers, and the ad-
dress was delivered by Hon. Frederick
Kurtz. At the close of the address,
which was brief, a prayer was oflered
by Rev. Robert O’Boyle. Three

George Sweeney was in charge of the
ceremonies. The speaker of the day,
Prof. John D. Meyer, was then an-
pounced. He spoke for fifteen min-
utes, and held his large audience with
apt attention.
In his address, which was

patriotism aud commemorate the sav-

but impressive manncr. Unlike all
other holidays, there is no booming of
cannon, clangor of bells, noise of gay
revelers, but over the whole land there
is an atmosphere of reverence and awe.

the wild tempest of war the flag of the
South went down and the Confederacy

day honor and who wear the simple
bronze badge of the Grand Army of

grave and solemn responsibility. It is
our duty to preserve, protect and de-
fend that Union they have made, to
withstand all encroachments on the
liberties of our people, whether by for-
eign powers or more insidious foes at
home. Itis our duty to have such

good, and on which there may be not
one taint of corruption. In this battle

‘patriotic and in accord with the spirit
of the solemn occasion.
A closing prayer was offered by Rev.
J. M. Rearick and the services were
over.
The cemetery has been cleaned of all
grass and rubbish and presented a beau-

flowers and many handsome designs

AN AGED MAN DEAD
William Emerick Passes Away After a
Long iness,
William Emerick, one of the aged
men in this community, died at his
home about one mile east of Centre
Hall station, last Monday morning, at
about four o'clock, after a long illness,
Mr. Emerick had been in bad health
all through the winter. He was wged
over eighty years and he was afflicted
with the infirmities due to old age,
About four weeks ago gangrene set in
on his left leg from the knee to the
foot, also affecting the foot of the right
leg, and death was but a matter of -a
short time, his great age precluding
any thoughts of amputations. He suf-
fered very little, and was in full pos-
session of his mental faculties until
within three or four days of his death.
Mr. Emerick was twice married, bis
first wife having died a number of
years ago. He is survived by a wife,
and three children by his first
riage. They are, Mrs. John L. Runk-
le, of Tusseyville; Mrs, Wm. Smith, of

There is nothing more strengthening
to the feet than sait. Those who suf.
fer from tired feet will derive much re-
lief and benefit from a salt bath, pre-
pared by adding to a quart of warm
{not hot) water a tablespoonful of salt.
First wash the feet with warm water
and soap, then place them in the salt
bath for about 8 minutes ; finally, wipe
perfectly dry, and dust over them a
little boracic acid powder.
