Centre Hall isadmired by all strangers, coming here, for the cozyness of its homes, the beanty of its location, and perfect healthfulaess. Added to these are noted the facilities for communica- tion and travel in all directions. When, in course of a few years, our streets re ceive proper attention, there will be ad- ditional beauty given our little town. The property holders of our town should nse every endeavor to make the place at- tractive and inviting, to induce others to come here, and thus, by stimulating the growth of the place, enhance the value of property. It always is necessary for the citizens of a town to stand by and encourage each other in any thing that will tend to make it a boslaess centre, All are directly, or indirectly, benefitted by the prosperity of any enterprize, while jealousy teods to keep down a town. The people of Centre Hall, from the beauty and healtbfalness of our loca: tion, and facilities as above mentioned, have it altogether in their power to make the town and themselves prosper, by simply sandicg by its interests aod each other, DEATH OF Re I MI A MRS.
