BOALSBURG TURNPIKE CONDEMNED
Three Hundred and Fifty Dollars the Sum
Awarded as Damages.
# What is commonly known as the
Boalsburg turnpike, or that portion of
that thoroughfare not previously con-
demned and extending from Lemont
to Hume's mill, near Bellefonte, a dis-
tance of about six miles, has been con-
demmned by a jury of viewers, the sum
awarded the turnpike company being
three hundred and fifty dollars. There
is little doubt but that the case will be
appealed on the ground that the dam-
age allowed is insufficient, The case
was heard Thursday and Friday of last
week.
Upon the presentation of the peti-
tion the Court appointed John A.
Woodward, John Holmes, Bolomon
Peck, William Pealer and Henry
Meyer as viewers or jurors, with J. C.
Meyer as master to hear the case, and
take such action as to their judgment
would be for the best interests of the
taxpayers and citizens of the Court.
Fortney & Fortney represented the
petitioners ; Gettig, Bower & Zerby
looked after the interest of the county;
John Blanchard represented the turn-
pike corporation, and Clement Dale
opposed the comdemnation on behalf
of the townships Bpring and College,
but more particularly College town-
ship, arguing that the maintaining of
of the road by the townships would be
a burden to the taxpayers,

Mission Workers,
The mission workers in the Luther
an church st Tussey ville held exercises
Bunday evgping appropriate to the oo
casion of gathering in their annual
thank offering. The exercises were
truly educational, and the earnest ef
fort put forth by both the senior and
junior members of the workers to ren-
der the program in acceptable style
was exceeded only by their liberal of-
ferings previously placed in the mite
boxes, the total being $565.00, plus.
A most appreciated portion of the
program was that part participated in
by the children. Children’s work on
such oceasions always elicits favorable
comment, regardless of whether or
not their talents were developed, and
#0 it should, but without naming the
individuals the Reporter wishes to
make epecisl mention that a few little
folks rendered their parts with an exe
sotness seldom attained by children,
This society, of which Mrs. William
Bitner is president, has always been
most liberal in its offerings. The chil.
dren who in various ways took part
in the exercises are :
Naomi, Roy, Ruth, Clayton and
