VO L. LX X XI] Y. SEVEN MOUNTAIN ROUTE 0. K. Report False that Read Over Seven Mountains Would bs Eliminated from Sproul Road Bil, A report reached the south side of Centre county that the route between Centre Hall an! Lewistown was to be stricken from the Sproul road bill, While this was scarcely believable, the repoit occasioned considerable annoy- ance, for no one was certain but that parties not interested in this section of Centre county might be conniving to have this route eliminated ia order to secure advantage for some more favored section in Centre county. Had Mr. Meyer been living, there would have been no need for alarm, but with him out of the way, there was an opportunity to give the south gide of the county a rap. Realizing this condition, a number of citizens touk up the matter, and got into com- munication wita Hon, Joseph Alexan- der, representing this senatorial dis- trict. A telegram was sent Senator Alexander by The Centre Reporter, inquiring whether or not this route had been stricken from the bill and whether or not he would interest himself in behalf of the citizens of the south side of Centre county. His re- ply came thal the route was retained in the bill when it passed the senate, and further gave assurance that he would do all in his power to have it remain should an effort be made to kill it. The route in question leads from Lewistown to Centre Hall, where it intersects with the route from Lewis- QOENTRE HALL LECTURE COURSE, A Brief Sketch of the Five Attractions The Best Course Secured. As was briefly stated some time ago in these columns, the Centre Hall Lecture Course Committee closed a contract with the Central Lyceum Bureau, Harrisburg, for five attrac- tions for the course during next winter. The committee is convinced that it has the five best attractions It has yet secured. The dates on which they will appear cannot be given at this time, for itis owing to the fact that the committees permits the Ly- ceum to name its own dates that at. tractions of the character secured can be had for the money estimated to be realized on the sales of course tickets and door receipis io a community like this. It is proposed to again sell course tickets for one dollar, but the general admiesion for the musicals will no doubt be increased over that of a year and two years ago. The attractions on the course are as follows : £3 Musical ~The Commonwealth Male Quartette. A. L. Hipson, first tenor ; E. B. Glines, second tenor and sccompanist ; A. H. Carpenter, bari- tone and reader ; A. A. Logan, basso, The more serious numbers are char- acterized by that perfect harmony which makes the music of four male voices so delightful, while the bhumor- ous selections are ably interpreted by bits of life and action. The program is in three parts : Part I. Bolos, readings, folk songs. Part II. Selections upon bamboo burg to Bellefonte, How the story | got into circulation, if untrue, that | the route was to be stricken from the | bill, or why suy one should wish it to] i be, is a mystery. | ————————— i ——-—— > Terms of Judges, | When to elect common pleas court | judges is a question that requires a de- | cision of the supreme court, and a test | case is now pending, the court having | the case before them.
