He wished to place a small sign-post and sign at the intersection of Allegheny street and Burrows alley, calling attention to his garage. This was in the spring of 1811, and at one of the May ings of borough council, he was grant. ed permission to erect the sign. The point selected by the Doctor for ths erection of the sign was objected to by Dr. Seibert, before whose lot it would stand. The latter's counsel ap- peared before the borough council some time later and asked that the privilege be rescined, which was or- dered to be done. Dr. Sebring then carried the question to the Centre county court, the case coming up in September term of Common Pleas, 1911, where a decision was rendered against him. The case in the Super. for court is an appeal from the decree of the lower court, and the outcome will be watched with interest.

Great care should be exercised by voters at the coming election as the is different from the one usual- ly used and there will be either three or four party tickets—Democratic, Washington, Republican and possibly Socialist. In the county ballots the non-partisan ticket will be the can- didates for judge of the superior court. As this is the first time that a non- partisan ticket has appeared on jhe ballots voters should study it care- fully before marking the sheet. The instructions should be read with care. The safest and surest way is to place a cross (X) mark In the square opposite the name of every candidate you desire to vote for, and then there will be no misunderstanding as to your intentions when the election of- ficers come to count the votes, Entertainment at Stormstown.
