It appears every community has a
sneak thief to support. Woodward
has a character of this kind, and the
other Sunday he helped himself
liberally from the Lome of Mrs. Mary
Moiz. He practiced his profession to
the extent of securing $50 in cash and
and a pension check belonging to
George Miller, an aged veteran. The
theft was committed while the Motz
family were at church.
Mr. and Mra, J. W. McUcrmick of
Columbia, South Carolina, landed in
Centre Hall last Wednesday evening
and remaised until Bunday. They
had been on an extended trip through
the middie north, and visited Chicago,
Milwaukee, Rochester and various
other cities, They attended the na-
tional convention of undertakers in
Chicago, and a convention of the
same character in Milwaukee, Mr,
Me Cormick is an enthusiastic south-
erner, and states that conditions in
all lines sre improving. A fourteen-
cent cotton crop was unheard of un-
til this fall. The crop is short, but
the advance in price from ten to
fourteen cents is a larger increase than
the shortage in the crop represents.
Mention has been made on previous
occasions of the purchase of the Hoster-
man farm at Tasseyville by John F.
Hosterman of Penn Hall, which was
trie, but since he and his brother,
Prof. William P. Hosterman, made
an exchange of farms, and now the
former owns the farm on whioh he
lives, at Penn Hall, and Prof. Hoster
man became the owner of the Hoster-
man farm at Tusseyville, A. F. Heck-
man, & brother-in-law, who for a num-
ber of years lived on the Tusseyville
form in question, will move to Penn
Hall and will live in the parental
homestead. This change does not ine
terfere with the plan aunounced that
Arthur L. Slutterbeck will succeed
Mr. Heckman ae tenant there,
