summer. will take charge OF the gram
mar department, and nj. Z. Gephart,
one Of our own young men gets the prl'

WHAT MORE CAN YOU wANT.-The
Centre Hall Reporter of last week IN
referring to the enter prises which are
spring ing up in the different towns u
round them, says that Centre liai
could also stand boom Of that kind.
Brother Kurtz forgets that Centre Hall
is lust establishing a second newspaper,
an enterprise that surely augurS prog
ress and increase in business. Meth
er Milheim nor Spring Mills can boast
of the like and are consequently not as
fortunate as Centre Hall.
The borough schools are likely to
be very much crowded this winter, IL
fact that is to be greatly dep'ored. Our
school rooms are rather defective, AZ
fording very poor ventilation and when
well filled with children are anything
but healthy. Besides, the teachers are
hardly able to do justice to Il school
numbering from 75 TO go scholars and
we think it would have been policy to
have Il fourth school and thus distribute
the work more evenly. We hope our
directors will make this necessary
change before another year passes.
Negotiations for the establishment
of the knitting factory are progressing
quietly, but rs we are assured by mem
bers of the committee who have the
matter in hand are on safe way TO
final settlement. We think in another
week the project will have sufficient
backbone to proceed with business.
LATER.-Messrs. j. :. aud j. *.
Crawford, arrived in last evenings
train and meeting of the stockholders
was at once appointed for 7 O'Clock
last night. AS we went TO press about
that time we are unable to give the
result in this weeks issue.
MULTUM IN PARvo.-McDonald's
Great Blood Purifier or Sarsaparilla Al.
terative is the most highly concentrat-
ed. most harmoniously and Skilfully
combined of all the blood medicines of
fered to the public. Many certificates
from well-known and worthy persons
could be furnished to substantiate the
virtues claimed for this great medicine,
but the manufacturer prefers simply to
say any purchaser feeling the benefit
derived from the use of a bottle not
equivalent to the seventy-tive cents in
vested in the purchase can have their
money refunded.

The picnic at Penn's Cave last Sat-
urday was not as largely attended as
was anticipated. The fact is there
were too many of the farmers and the
people in general at the G range RS
Picnic at William GIoye
and the reunion at LewisbuIg.
Nevertheless a pleasant time was had
and Dot h the bands as well as many of
the pic nicers took trip through the
caves. AS usual Mr.. Long, the pro-
prietor of the Cave did everything to
ma Ike the visitors feel at home on his
premises. The day was very pleasant,
the air being cool and bracing and
those that were there certainly enjoyed
themselves.
A. G.. Hickman, of Seville, Ohio in
his letter in which he renews his SUBJ
scription to the JOURNAL, adds the
following items of news VERY dry
and hot here. Wheat fair crop, corn
about half crop, potatoes pretty fair.
Fruit simply immense. No sale for
apples. Peaches, pears and plums,
cheap. The late earthquake called at
Seville, but no damage was done and
nobody hurt. Saloons all closed under
the Dow law. 7 his is as it should be
the liquor traffic is the great curse OF
our country. was glad to see in your
paper that your Hon. Judge OF Court
granted but few licenses.
Shortly before noon on last Thurs
day the cry OF "fre" went through
town and was discovered to be at
Elias Lose and Sons planning mill.
The roof of the building had caught
fire which by the prompt action of sew.
eral men was extinguished before 1t
had chance to spread. The Hook Il
Ladder boys had their apparatus on the
ground in very short time, but moth
ing bnt their buckets were brought in
to actiue service. 1t was bad day
for a fire, most of the male population
of town being in Lewisburg, the
weather exceedingly hot and the water
very scarce.
