W, Stover, cashier of the Farmers National Bank, of Millheim, was a pleasant business visitor at the Reporter office on Friday evening. Mr. Stover has used the Reporter advertising col- umns on numerous occasions, and now comes out with an annoancement that should receive the attention of all parents who are interested in instilling the principle of thrift and saving into the minds of their children. The Far- mers National Bank is lending free of charge a handsomely designed savings bank, shaped like the Liberty Bell, to any person opening an account with the bank with the sum of $1.00, or more, Where is there a school boy or girl who would pot delight in owning one of these banks, and ring old Liberty Bell again with their savings ? C. M. Stauffer, the past six years the efficient instructor of the band at the Tressier Orphans’ Home, Loysville, which under his tutelage has become one of the best in the state and on num- erous occasions came to Centre Hall, on the 1st inst., severed his connections with the institution, He has bought the opera house at Hazelton, Pa., which he will completely remodel, making it up-toflate in every particular. Previous to going to Loysville, for ten years, Mr. Stauffer was the leader of the famous Carlisle Indian school band, which ceased to exist on the abandonment of the school. Under Stauffer's manage- ment the services of the Orphans’ Home band were in great demand and were a ce the school two ago, the net return for that year ie + 000 and last year $18,000. The band was increased iu membership from 20 to 42 boys. PRB
