Black, who just began farming last spring, had bis first hard luck last week when one of his work horses took lock jaw and died. Representatives of Lutheran Bun- day-schools on the Centre Hall charge will meet on Bunday evening after the services in the Lutheran church. Having completely recovered from his recent illness of typhoid fever, Robert Meyer returned to Altoona, where he has employment in a large power house, Another bright little boy came to the home of Mr, and Mrs. George E Breon, in Centre Hall, Tuesday morn- ing of last week. Baby No. 5 Is his only name atl present, Archies Allison, the Bellefonte plumber, has the contract for install ing the bathroom fixtures and piping in the new Bartholomew building adjoining the Reporter office. Farmer Philip Durst, east of Centre Hall, was one of the Reporter's callers on Tuesday. Mr. Durst is one of the Potter township farmers who raises first-class crops each year without the use of phosphate. Much of the corn grew so rapidly after the warm showers began that the farmer was not able to give it ss frequent cultivation as ia the custom. Generally speaking the fields are clean, and the prospects for a good crop are promising. Mrs. Mary MeClenahan is having her home improved by erecling a rear addition, which is calculated to fur pish room for a kitchen and diving room on the first flaor and bath and the second floor by Asron sleeping room on The work is being done Thomas. Not all the showers came In June this year, July, or at least the first half got its good share. The frequent and copious rains interfered very much with farm work, especially hay- ing f the hay got rain before it was housed, lessening the market value to a considerable extent. N. B. Bhafler, who bersburg, in a letter to the Reporter among other things says : ““Haymak- ing is well on to the close, and the crop on many farms was very ghort, Oats, corn and potatoes look promis ing. We have good neighbors, lots of | work, and plenty to eat With my old neighbors and cou. success the Reporier, e next issue of the old he Much lives near Re- tent wishes to tinued to await t! paper.” The Mifflis J.

The animsl took sick, and later * blind staggers’ developed. The horse made a mad rush from the barn through fields and over fences, and finally got into neighbor J. K. Bitner's corn field, where it was not a bit sparing of the corn carefully cultivated by Farmer Paul Swab, In the course of time a man with a gun got within range, shot and killed the animal, John F. Potter, of Philadelphia, has been spending the past week with hie brother, J. T. Potter, in Centre Hall, aud his cousin, Fergus Potter, of pear Linden Hall. Mr. Potter follows the profession of law in Philadelphia, and many years ago was District Attorney of Centre county. During his call on the Reporter last week Mr. Potter dwelt on the early reminiscences of Centre Hall, when only a few houses made up the town, and the surround. ing country, which now represents some of the beat farms in Centre ¢ unts wus dense forest, He also takes a deep interest in politics, and although well up in years, is an enthusiastic worker for on better Philadelphia, politieslly and otherwise, Prof. J.
