Wilbur Henney is laid up for re-
pairs, haviog fallen down a pair of

could plate them and make them just
a8 good as new.
The sale of cows and young cattle,
advertised by W. O. Gramley, at
Bpring Mille, for Tuesday, March 14th,
bas been changed from an afternoon
sale to a morning sale, the hour for
beginning being 9:30 o'clock. An-
other sale in that vicinity is the reason
for the change.
Henry 8. Meyer, vice-mayor of
Williamsport, has paid the costs and
discontinued his action for criminal
libel againet the editor of the Will-
iamsport Sup, who in noticing the ac-
tion of Mr, Meyer, repeals the original
charges. Mr, Meyer is a native of
Potter township, and lived near here
until having attained manhood,
J. B. Bolt, proprietor of the Fred-
erick ( Maryland ) Auto Garage, and a
former resident of Centre Hall, sent
the Reporter a copy of the Frederick
Post containing an sccount of a farm
sale that footed up over $11,100, The
sale was attended by about two thous-
and persons, Cows sold for se much
re $270 each, but horses were topped
at but $175. The property scold wae
that of Charles Werthemier, near
Petersville,
You'll want to hear the Dors-De-
Leon company, a musical organization
that comes as the lsst number on the

Star couse,
Rev. L. B. Wissinger, of Glen
Campbell, Indiana county, will preach
in the Presbyterian church, in thie
place, Bundsy morning. He coms
here to deliver a trial sermon, and
there is a possibility of the Presby-
terian congregation extending him a
call to become pastor of the church
whose pulpit bss been made vacant by
the death of Rev. W. Henry Schuyler,
Ph. D. Rev. Wissinger is a member
of the Blsirville Presbytery and comes
well recommended,
connection with the account of
“Uncle Ephraim’s Summer Board-
ere,” the name of William Garis was
inadvertently omitted, William play~
ed too important a part in the per-
formance to be slighted in this man-
ner, for it was his *“ winning ways”
with the daughter of Uncle Ephraim
that resulted in everything being met-
tiled so satisfactorily and the old farm
from passing away by the mor! gage
route. William was known as Ralph
Briggs, and it may be sald that if be
would work the courtship game off
the stage with anywhere near the
ardor he manifested on the atage, he
would early rank among the Bene-
dicts, '
Steel Cars on LL. & T,. RR,
Haturday the first steel train passed

R., and ocossloned no little comment,

eeived oo word concerning the Penne
#y’s action In replacing the wooden
cosches with the more modern and
safer steel care, so that when the first
train of two new steel coaches and
steel baggage car pulled into Centre
Hall there was much talk ss to
whether the innovation was to be a
permanent fixture, The ateel coaches
are here to stay, says the Penosy.

tangerous Now and Disgracefal Later,
It fs irfinitely more dangerous, snd
the time is coming when it will be
oonsidered a greater disgrace, to have
flies than to harbor lier, The fly is
born of manure and eannot breed
without filth; so the plentitude of
this pesiiferous plague is 8 measure of
the cleanliness of sny comwunity,
The shocks of war come only at long
intervale, but the onslaughter of the
deatructive six<footed seavenger is cor «
tinuous, Perhaps some reader may
wonder why this disquisition about
the fly in midwinter aud at one of the
chilliest sessone. Forewarned is fore-
armed, If every Reporter reader will
remember the truth about the peril of
the flyicg peril and lie in waitivg for
him at the beginning of his career,
untold millions may die with the early
fly.
