ANTIS WHITS BOM IMPROVED
Oltlasas Prsssat Petition Is Ooaaty Cost
Brisslsssrs to tsks svsr Bighwsy
For the psst few years it bas
been apparent to the autoist that
another improved highway shoald
bo established in tbto section of
the county, connecting tbe north-
am end with Altoooa aod other
sections, and on Toesday morning
a numerously signed petition by
citizens ot Antis township, Bellwood borough, as well as trom
other sections of tbe county, was
presented to commissioners, John
L. Boyer, John O. Gorsucb and
Daniel Brumbaugh, asking that
the connty take over the road
trom Greenwood to Bellwood by
way of Pinecrott and East Altoona.
Tbis road was formerly a state
road until tbe construction ot tbe
present modern concrete highway
from Greenwood to Tyrone. After
the construction of tbe concrete
highway, tho old road was thrown
back upon the township, and as
the township is hardened witb
roads and heavy taxes it ie no
more than just that tbe coanty
take over this streach ot road and
improve it ss it shoald be. In
years past the coanty commissioners have been directing tbeir efforts and expending tbe county's
tonds on tbe construction ot highways in and aronod Altoona and
the southern part ot tbe coanty,
and it can be said without fear of
success!uI contradiction that not
one cent ot oonnty mooey has
been spaat fbr the improvment of
tbis section consider it slim' treatment, although they are taxpayers
tbe some as those in other parte.
I' is unjust to the residents ot tbe
northern end ot tbe county that
tbis road was uot taken over and
improved years ago. No argument
need be presented tbat the road in
question is greatly needed—it is
apparent on the very face ot tbe
tacts. Tbe present concrete highway is almost constantly crowded
with traffic and at times is inadequate to properly care for it.
The road from Bellwood boroagh to Greenwood should be improved, as sny fair-minded per
son who knows the condition will
admit. We hope those who are in
authority will oome to the rescue
and modernise this highway.
Burned Sltve
Extraordinary preparations by
fourteen million Baptists ofthe
world are now being perfected for
tha observance next Sunday ot the
400th anniversary ofthe martyr*
dom ot Bslthasar Huebmaier in
in tbe days ot the Reformation.
Ths story of tbe burning alive of
this great character will be told by
Bev. H. G. Dooiey, at tbe Logan
Valley Baptist cbnrcb on next
Sanday nigbt. Huebmaier rank
ed witb Lather, Zwingli and
Calvin in charaeter, learning and
eloquence. He was thrown iato
prison and tortured on the rook
and his body finally given to tbe
flames lor oo other crime than bis
firm belief in tbe Scriptures.
Throo days later bis wife was
drowned in tbe rive Danube because sbe shared har husband's
beliefs. Tbe public is invited to
share in tbis anniversary service.
—Tbe Bev. J. H. Turner, pastor
of the Evangelical chareh, hsa
been retorned by the Central
Pennsylvania Evangelical conference at Berwick to the Bellwood
church. He bas served this
churoh for one year, wbieh was
marked by success, and his return
is geuerally pleasing to his people
and IB ether friaods ia the teea.

Writes Frost Florlis
William A Kustaborder, s
has beea located for a few years,
writes as as follows:
Find enclosed is one dollar in
exchaoge for tbe Bulletin for another year; may you print for
many more years. I was sorry to
hOar of your wife's aooldeot, yet
we all meet with accidents. Well,
I suppose you Sre enjoying snow
and ice, while we are having tbe
finest weather, the thermometer
registering from 46 to 80 above
aero. • Plum trees are white witb
blossoms aod orange trees will
soon be putting on theirs. We
had two rather cold snaps tbis
winter and it got as low as 20
above aero in some places. We
bad ice almost two inches tbiok
on onr rain tubs and much tender
vegetation was killed, bat the
fruit not macb damaged.
Building is not very brisk at
present, a few new houses going
op, but will get better wben tbe
country all over gets back to normal again. Florida is not yet
dead. I bave been helping to finish tbe new Baptist cburch, wbioh
is almost completed. It will be a
great oredit to our town.
Many tourists from nearly every
atate in tbe union have been en
joying oor town camping ground
and fine climate. They all say it
is the best tbey bave experienced
in Florida. We have the best
water in the state snd the highest
bills, and it is an all-white man's
town. The wife aud I are both
well. I am bothered very little
with asthma now. I am far trom
being the near dead man I was
seven years ago when I came
dowo hers. Kindest regsrds to
all my friends and a successful
year to yoo all.
