10,000 Visitors Attend Annual Festivities
of Little Folk st Womelsdorf,
The fourth Thursday or every Au-
gust is known as Bethany Day among
the members of the Reformed ¢:ureh

day from near and far, they journey
to Womelsdorf on foot, on railroad
trains, on trolley cars and on ever)
method of conveyance imaginable,
for none likes to miss this great an
niversary occasion of Bethany
Orphans’ Home
Bethany Day always attracts from
10,000 to 15 000 persons, and the Betb-
any grounds resemble a county fair on
the occasion. The railroads ran
special excursions from every part of
the State. Church societies msde up
special parties and recured specia
rates, while the pr fit all went for
the benefit of the 166 orphans tha!

The weekly app arance of the
“ Centre Reporter’ is highly ap-
preciated and the contents very inter-
esting to one who was born and raleed
in the vicinity of Centr Hall and
whose memory returns to the days
when the first building of the village
was erected on the north west corner
of the diamond where the old Brush
valley road crosses the turn pike,
writes Henry Dasher, of Kalamezoo,
Michigan,
Continuing Mr. Dasher saye : David
Felmies had it erected for a hotel, for
sccommodation of the traveling
public, Four horse stage coaches ruu-
ning daily from Bellefonte to Lewis
town were the only means of convey.

jays, and the pangs of buager sod
thirst were frequently ut

Witmer bought a piece of land on the
east side of turn Pike from the
old Christian Hofler farm and erected
a large hotel and storeroowm, and
