(Corn in the shock could, no doubt,
be bought at a reasonable price.
The Bradford hunting party saw a
deer on Tuesday, but he was not
killed.
Dr. H. 8. Braueht, of Spring Mills,
accompanied by his som Dean D,,
were in Centre Hall the latter part of
last week, [the former having come
here to examine an applicant for life
insurance,
William H. Motter, who recently
made sale of his farm stock and imple-
ments in Georges Valley, and is now
located in lock Haven, was in town on
Wednesday. Today ( Thursday ) he
returned to Lock Haven.
The W. H. Bartholomew farm, west
of Centre Hall, has been sold to Frank
Osman, of College township. The
consideration is not given to the put-
lic at this time.- Mr. Osman will be
in Centre Hall on Saturday, at which
time the papers will be signed closing
the sale in legal form.
On going to his barn on Monday
morning, William Walker, a farmer
west of Centre Hall, discovered one of
his two horses lyin z dead in its stall.
The horse, which was purchased some
time ago for $175, was driven to Belle
foute on Saturday. He ate his feed at
supper time and showed no signs of
sickness that were observed by the
Owner,
County Buperintendent of Schools
D O, Etters was in Centre Hall
Tuesday and paid his first visit to the
borough schools duriog this term.
He, of course, found everything in
good working order. Generally
speaking, Mr. Etters says, the schools
in Centre county are in very good
standing. He paid a compliment to
the younger teachers for their ag-
gressive work.
Mr. and Mrs. John H. Weibly, of
Linden Hall, were in town on Friday.
Mr. Weibly is track foreman on the
Linden Hall section on the Lewis
burg and Tyrone, and has in his force
three men—John Diehl, Leonard
Wilson and James LL. Brown. They
are now preparing to substitute eighty-
five pound rails for seventy pound
rails. This means some hard labor,
Fhere is nothing so bad that it
might not be worse. Marcellus Ban-
key, of near Millheim, will subscribe
to this any day since a thief stole all
the mest of a hog, except, the hams
and a small piece of boiling meat, kiil-
ed by bim recently. The meat was
stored in the summer house for safe-
keeping, but the doors were not proof
against the thief who was after dressed
pork, worth at least twelve cents per
pound,
Zz Lumber fifty years old was worked
into window sashes for the dwelling
house of W. J. Mitterling, in Centre
Hall, The white pine was first pur-
chased from a lumber firm in Ciear-
field county by James Kimport, of
Linden Hall, in 1860, and transported
by wagon. About eight years ago A.
P. lL.use & Son purchased the lot
from Mr. Kimport, and when Mr.
Mitterliog gave his order for the sashes
this lumber was used in their con.
\struction.
Emanuel P. Bhook, of Spring Mills,
has very much improved from the in-
jaries received in a fall from a ladder
while picking apples, and by the
time this item is being read, he will
be able to move around the house on
crutches. While quite seriously in.
juried, Mr. Bhook’s condition was
never quite so bad as he was reported
to be in the newspapers. The Report-
er is glad to note his continuous ime
provement, and hopes soou to ssy that
he is able to attend to business as he
did before the mishap occurred.
Talk about boroughs having high
taxes, then recall that as number of
property owners to the scuth side of
Centre Hall station have conceived the
idea that it would be a good move
from the viewpoint of economy to be
included within the incorporated limits
of this town. [hey are quite right in
their conclusions, the advantages to be
gained by these property owners by
becoming borough residents is much
more than the apparent tax increase in
the borough over that in Potter town-
ship. Add to their present advan.
tages thee items: convenient schools,
water, light, and they will have acquire.
ed much more than the tax boogaboo

APPLES AND POTATORY
Shipped from Centre Hall Aggrogite Many
Thousands of Hashels,
The apples and potatoes shipped
from Centre Hall station this season
aggregate many thousands of bushels,
The price paid for spples was forty
cents for the fall and fifty cents for the
winter varieties. The quality of the
apples was very fair, but no orchards
had full crops, many bering only
about enough for family use. The
Centre Hall Evaporating Company
handled the larger part of the apple
crop in this community, and besides
the several thousand bushels used at
the evaporating plant, several thous
and bushels of hand-picked apples
were shipped by them, most of which
were marketed in barrels. There
were many local lots shipped out by
individuals, It is estimated that the
total sales made at the local station
was between five and six thousand
bushele. This does not include the
apples used at the evaporator, which
were purchased by the hundred
weight,
About fifteen car loads of potatoes
were handled at the Centre Hall sta-
tion, twelve cars of which were
bought and shipped by the Howard
Creamery Corporation, and the re
mainder by R. D. Foremsau. These
shipments represent about ten thous-
and bushels. There are yet many
potatoes in the hands of the growers
that will be put on the market later
on. Most of the farmers on the south
side of Potter township haul their
polatoes to Mifflin county during the
winter months, and those who follow
this practice have not yet commenced
to unload their crop.
The price paid for nearly sll, If not
all, the potatoes bought during the
past two months was forly cents,
The crop was a very good one, and the
quality with reference to sizs was also
good,
