Howard. On Thursday afternoon, at about 2 o'clock the people of Howard were start. led at hearing the fire alarm sounded. The fire was located in the Strickland home, just outside the borough limits. It was a very windy day and the water is not piped out that way, so the men discovered that the fire had gained such a headway that it was impossible to save the home. They then devoted all their time to saving the household goods, and were successful in saving all buta bed and a stove. The fire originated from a defective flue in the kitchen, It is said the loss is heavy and not covered by insurance. Balser Weber returned to Mercers- burg Academy, on Wednesday, where he will resume his studies. Miss Susie Pletcher, one of Howard's bright young ladies, departed on Mon- day, for Williamsport, where she will finish a course in bookkeeping. Geo. Weber, of Ill., is spending the winter with friends and relatives in this place. Rev. H. W. Gross departed on Thurs- day for the Quaker city, where he will visit for a few days. Miss Mabel Pletcher entertained a sled load of young people, of Eagleville, at her home, one evening last week. On Sunday, the biggest snow of the season fell, now the young people can enjoy more sleighing. Saturday afternoon and evening the young people enjoyed the fine skating, and were disappointed at the snow storm we had the following day. We are surprised to known that this town has people in it who would lower themselves to take that which is an. s others, but such 1s the case, for the peo- sle are complaining of some one visiting heir chicken coops. Oa Wednesday Paight three were taken fromthe M E tcpreacher, and on Saturday six from Dr, 00. W. McEntire. We suggest if they wish more to ask, for by so doing they will not have so much to answer for at the summoning up of their career. t We are very sorry to learn of Ex- 1 Gov. Hastings death, for he was a good friend of many of our citizens, Some of our people attended the fan. eral of Mr. Glossver, at Eagleville on Monday afternoon Julian. The death of Miss Estella, youngest daughter of E. R Williams, of Julian, Pa., occurred Sunday, Jan 10, at 11 p m., at the home of her brother Elwer, of this place, after an illness of g months. Deceased was 24 vears old and of these years almost one-half were spent in the service of the Methodist church, where she was a faithful worker, Estella leaves a large circle of rela. tives and friends who deeply mourn their loss, for in her were found all the qualities which make the life of a young woman beloved and beautiful. Gentle: ness and unselfish generosity gave to her woman's lo' ¢ iness, and her Christ a1 faith and practice adorned more than ten years of the life of which they were the closing triumph. Few women were more loved than she With her own acquaintances she was tied with the warmest feelings of attach. ment. To ber father and immediate relatives her life was the daily offered sacrifice. Her manner was modest, gentle, and cheerful, wining confidence, bespeaking love; and her face in its sweet and pleasing lines showed the tle virtues which enriched the soul that throbed within. But all have passed away, forever, and not one beam from all this brightness and loveliness shall ever fall upon the deep love of the parent, brothers or sis- ters, to cast out the darkness of their sorrow. Bat hope will burn, and faith shall feed its flame, to give assurance of the bliss, the peace, the perfect rest her pure spirit has beyond. “RH. Ma Pine Creek Mills. Stephen Meyer visited here.

I was transferred from the cars in Curt John- | son's mule-obile or horseless wagon and dumped off at the office of the Centre Democrat, from which I derive my name. [ must have been born in April as that is a lucky month to be born in, otherwise I might have been a Keystone Gazette or even a Howard Hastler with its abbreviated Subscription list; but, as it is, I thank Curt for dumping me off at the C.

While I am proud of my | popularity, I have nevertheless, my | trials aod tribulations: The Editor swaps me for other newspapers and gen- | erally gets cheated. The editiors of other papers cut me fall of holes with | their scissors and then dump the rest of me into a waste basket. A woman in Culonville cuts a parallelogram out of my side containing the Unionville Items and pastes it in a scrap book; she intends to publish them in book form, 4 Boonashtall. Another doubles me all up like a ball, dips me in fat and uses me | for a griddle greaser, (here the North American said, "me 100"). Another tied me over ber applebutter crocks and in several instances I was badly soiled. Hile Griffen, of Stormstown, was “shy” of wrapping paper, 50 he used me in doing up a pair of ladies’ No. 7 shoes; Ira Burket packed a box of groceries for a custemer and jammed me into the vacant places to “fill up;” boys tear me in strips to light their cigarettes with; women use me for kindling the morning fire; men who are too stingy to buy me, borrow me and treat me roughly; I some. times have to carry around an item that makes me feel ashamed. For instance, when that joke about the garters was read aloud the clock held its hands be: fore its face, from shame, it was so mad it bad a notion to strike. And thas! might go on with lamentations ad infini- tum, nevertheless they may il) treat me ana mutilate me all they please, I never scream nor holler, for 1 know that Charley gets for me a big round silver dollar.
