cality. Mr. Reish owns a splendid
home in Centre Hall, and since com-

more of Centre Hall than ever,
J. H. and B. E. Weber have ordered
a car load of Gearless hay loaders, and
farmers are invited to come and ex-
amine the many superior points over

and gearing. Wherever introduced
these bay loaders have supplanted all
others.
Some of the ladies are wearing waists
made of material so full of holes that
male mosquitoes are accompanying
their long-nosed sisters on their blood-
sucking tours, and while they have no
desire to participate in the blood-
sucking sport, they occupy bleechers
nearby and watch the operations.
John H. Horner is building wall for
George O. Benner, who ls preparing
to build an addition to his dwelling
house. Next week Mr, Horner will
have the oversight of the vuilding of
the walls for the borough reservoir,

speedy, careful mechanic.
Mrs. Linnie Ruble, who has been
making her home in Cleveland, Ohio,
for several years, is east, and is staying
with her sister, Mrs. B. D. Brisbino,

The guarantee furnished by Judge
Orvis that the chicken crop in and
abbut Centre Hall would not be dis
turbed for at least a limited length of
time, has induced many persons in
this locality to give the growling of
chicks special attention, and their
efforts have been met with great suc-
cess. It is remarkable with what bold-
ness the boss cocks of the roosts crow,
and that without fear of being bagged
ina‘ foul” way.

The Genrless Hay Loader.
Farmers can save much time, worry
and expense hy purchssing the best
machinery on the market, and since
such ap unprecented hay crop is star-
ing every tiller of the soil in the face,
attention is called to the many merits
of the Gearless hay loader, sold by J
H. and 8. E Weber, of Centre Ha!'l
It is just what the name iodicates—n
hay loader without gears—no chains,
no sprockets, no drums, no return
webs, The draft is light; the rakes
will a just themselves to the uneven
soil ; there is no eloging ; no need to
use the side delivery rake—the loader
takes the hay clear from the swath, It
is an ideal mnchine in every respect,
and lessens the labor of the man on
the wagon, because it has the power to
push the hay forward, and no matter
what the conditions, once the hay is
elevated it will not again be drawn to
the ground.

that no county funds were available
for this purpose. The ludge ax pressed

a case of some importance, spoke up in

“Well,” he remarked, with infinite
couteinpt, “I've seen some pretty bad
courts, but this—well, this is the
mit!"
The old judge flushed darkly.
“You are fined $25 for contempt, sir!
Hand the money to the clerk!” he sald,
and when the pompous visitor had
bumibly complied he continued.
