The rooms are! furnished in fine style while the conveniences and arrangements are all that could be desired Much complaint had been made during the past few days as to the condition of Curtin Street and if only a fractional part of what is gald may be true, the people in that end of town who are compelled to use that street are justified in com- plaining against the street commit tee. Council has a right to give them o decent street The Centre Iron Company is now constructing their own cars for hauling ore.

The Bellefonte Glass Company, alter struggling along for a few years, sometimes on top and some- times not 50 well, has finally been forced olit of business and their property taken in charge by the sheriff. For almost a year they have been on the hagged edge but managed to bolster up their in- debledness for the time being, but as is usually the case could not stand up against the demands of thelr creditors. Thus one of the indus- tries that placed a great many thou- sand dollars Into the channels of trade every year has gone down Why the glass industry in this town cannot keep equal footing with other manufactories is apparently a ques- tion that no one has been abie to soive. It is to be hoped that some- one will soon be able to find a way and means to start this enterprise on a new basis and do it successfully At a session of license court in Bellefonte the following persons were granted permits to dispense alcoholic beverages: Bellefonte: W R.
