Joseph Carson, under whose supervision the work on the Seven Mountains was done, also did a great deal of work between Centre Hill aud Potters Mille, and belween the latter piece and Colyer, which is a part of the Htate road route between Potters Mil 8 and State College, The hill at Ed. Brown’s coruer, where the last day 8 of the road work season were spent, is a good example of what can be done in the way of road improve ment without expending a great amount of money. Home work was done on the Brush Valley road, east of Centre Hall, under the supervision of I. A. Bweeltwood. Little or no grading was done here, the work consisting mostly of opening the side ditches and disposing of the breakers across the road on the hille, cain Tusseyvilie's Thank -Oifering Service, Haturday evening the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Be ciety of the Lutheran church, at] Tus- seyville, held their annual Thank-of- fering service in the Uplon church. No better sentiment for the cause of missions exists in Centre county than in the rural section surrounding Tue- seyville, and this year’s offering , of seventy dollars Is evidence of that fact. The Thapk-offering service always in- cludes 8a good program of recitations and singing by the younger mission workers of the church and Saturday evening's performance wae up to the usual good standard. ————— LOUALS Keaslei’s ad, is new in this issue.
