LICENSE CASES CONTINUED BY JUDGE FURST. Prohibition County Convention —A Tady Shoots Horself and Other News tes of Interest to our Readers. —— On Monday morning a special session of Court was held to dispose of some matters not acted upon at last session, The hearing of motions and the nat. uralization of three gentlemen from Snow Shoe was the principal work done. In regard, to the proceedings against W. R. Tellar, to have his license re- voked, the matter was continued to the next term of Court which, in fact, prac. tically ends the matter, Hearing of testimony against other hotel men was continued. T.em. Brooks was called and received the usual sentence for f. and b, Mr. Brooks, who claims to be innocent of the charge, refused to give bonds to comply with the sentence and preferred to board on the hill with Sheriff Cook. If Mr. Brooks is clear of the charge, we admire his pluck in refusing to compr- mise matters and take the sentence like a martyr.

All | persons favorable to constitutional or REFORMED SOCIAL, At the Home of C. M. Hower, Friday evening, On last Friday evening there wasa large gathering at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Bower, on east Lian street. It was composed of members of the Reformed church and others and was given as a sociable of that congregation. Their new home which was built re- cently, is a large and spacious brick building, a model of architectural de- sign and has a most desirable location. The interior is carefully arranged and finished in a most pleasing manner, The large hallway and spacious rooms are handsomely furnished; and they were well prepared to entertain a gathering of this kind. An orchestra composed of young ladies and gentlemen of town, assisted by Miss Miller of Miflinburg, rendered some fine selections during the evening. Prof. W.T. Meyer, was present and was called upon, and gave a number of renditions upon the piano, most of the pieces played being of his own comix wi tion and were executed with a skill and expression that held all enwrupt in admiration. The guests during the evening were invited into the dining room where ele. gant refreshments were served and all partook heartily, After refreshments there was another pleasant feature, Dis- trict Attorney J. C. Meyer requested all to step into the Library and an- nounced that Jas. C. Noll would ad- dress them. Mr. Noll arose an made a few happy remarks and then turned fo Rev. M. O. Noll, the present supply of the congregation, and informed him | that as he was about to leave, the con. Fag. last statutory prohibition are earnestly re. | quested to be present.

It is a weakness of a'l newspaper men to print all complimentary notices, and it gives us a vast amount of pleasure t+ let our readers know of the high es. teem in which the DEMOCRAT is held by some of our contemporaries. The last article of that nature is one of the many found in the Daily News of this place, commonly known as “Bailey's Noose.” “To show the standing of the papers of Bellefonte, read the comments print. ed in this paper of the Jate Democratic county convention and then the com. ments of the CEXTRE DEMOCRAT on the Republican county convention. The former was considerate and gentleman. Iv the latter low and abusive. The Daily News can be read by all classes with profit, and will make ouly such political criticisms as are justifiable.” Men are often known by their associ. ates and are comended for the enemies they have made. The DEMOCRAT flat- ters itself to know that it does not have the sympathy of the silly down town organ.
