March 3rd, 19385, | Echoes From the Past FIFTY YEARS AGO Some of the good substantial and moneyed citizens of Bellefonte, who have such poor sidewalks, should make a move when the weather per- mits, to replace them with good ones. A bettdr investnent could not be made. John Wasson, of Buffalo Run, who only has a birthday every four years, was agreeably surprised by a num- ber of friends and relatives, who re- | minded him that it was the 29th of | February and that they had come 0 help him celebrate There is quite a demand for sten- ographers and typists in the differ-| ent departments in Washington, and examinations will be held in differ- ent places in Pennsylvania to fill vacancies. The test will be 85 words per minute shorthand, and 25 words per minute on the typewriter. The Buffalo Run Railroad Co treated itself t0 a brand new en- gine this week. The engine will run on the road regularly, while the old one will be used in shifting cars about the furmace and it will be kept busy. Ninety tons per day is the output reached thus far, and will get us to an even hundred in 20d time ut ling Jig Two tramps who were sted a ride on a car loaded with lumber, were caught in the wreck which oc- urred at Martha Station on the B E. V. railroad last Friday night One of the men had his wrist broken and the other suffered a dislocation of the ankle. Thelr injuries were attended to by a local physician and sufficient money raised by the train hands to pay their fare to Bellefonte The following residents of Centre Coumy have been granted pensions: John Hollobaugh and Ermina H., widow of Robert D. McKinney, Phil- ipsburg, and Joseph G. McKinley. Milesburg Every industrial tablishment about town is booming and we have room for more.

He was on his way home after work and had stepped on the railroad track between two cars when the engine bumped up agains one and Mr. Rhoads was caught be- tween them. His injuries are very painful as his breast and body were badly crushed. The Beech Creek end of the Belle- fonte, Buffalo Run and Bald Eagle railroad should be built. It is one of the questions our people should take hold of and agitate. A litle more push and energy would ac- complish that end and would give us such an impetus as an nidusitial center as would kill all mosshacks and barnacies as though electricity had struck them.
