Potter township has lost one of its
| oldest and best known citizens, in the
| death of John Shires, which occurred
| at his home at Potter's Mills, early on
| Monday morning, 2nd, aged 82 years,
| 8 months and 20 days. Mr. Shires had
| been ill for some time, He was a re-
| spected citizen and led a Christian
hife.
Mr. Shires had been in failing health
for some months, and owing to ad-
{ vanced age was unable to withstand
{ the ravages of the disease.
{| He was a widower his wife having
| died several years ago. It was but a
| few months ago that a daughter, Mrs,
Joseph Shirk, died at his home.
{ He was the father of several chil
|dren, they are, Michael Shires, of
| Spring Mills; Mrs. Charley Bollinger,
{ of Altoona; James, of Johnstown; Pe-
| ter, at Sunbury, and Emory Shires,
{ living at home with his father.
The funeral which took place on
| Wednesday morning from his late res-
{ idence, was largely attended. Rev.
| Ilingsworth, of the Methodist church,
| of which deceased was a member, offi-
ciated at the services. Interment was
made in the cemetery at Sprucetown.

COXEY'S ADVANCE GUARD
Reaches Centre Hall, Last Saturday nnd
is Well Fed Hore,
Last Saturday afternoon, between 5
and 6 o'clock, a small troop of cavalry
came down Nittany mountain and
halted at the hotel, no doubt they
were the advance guard of the Com-
monweal, which the same day crossed
the western borders of our common-
wealth “on to Washington.”
Reaching the Bartges hotel, the ca-
valrymen dismounted and the steeds
were stabled for a feed, while the ri-
ders went inside where they were soon
called to a steaming supper pre-ar-
ranged for by telephone. This was the
first stop after an eight miles’ ride
from the county seat.
The behavior of the sojers at the ho-
tel was quite a la militaire, and they
and with only a moderate pull upon
the Centre Hall water works and that
mainly to slake the thirst of their
steeds, Being military men they were
reticent as to their plans, but it is easi-
ly surmised they were here to see if it
were a suitable place for the Common-
weal to camp if Coxey’s legion came
this way. The REPORTER having pre-
viously announced the army might
have our grange pic-nic ground for a
night's stop, a note was made of the
location and the troop again ordered
came to report at headquarters, There
is no silverware or other valuables mis-
sing from the hotel,
ter disclosed the following names be-
longing to this troop :
Gen. Daniel Hartman Hastings.
Col. Frederick William Reynolds,
Col, Jackson Lee Spangler.
Capt. Lee Beauregard Woodcock.

Centre Hall last Sunday morning.
There was a good audience and Rev.
Ilingsworth impressed his hearers
with an excellent discourse. He will
move into the parsonage at Spring
Mills.
The next service in the church was
announced for the 15th, inst., in the
morning at 10 o'clock, but other
arrangements made by Rev. Illings-
worth compel him to change the hour
from 10 o'clock to half-past two in the

Men become bald. Why? Because
they wear close hats and caps. Wo-
men aregiever bald except by disease,
and they do not wear close headgear.
Men never lose a hair below where the
hat touches the head, not if they have
been bald twenty years. [Che close
cap holds the heat and perspiration;
thereby the hair glands become weak
and the hair falls out.

As a Health Resort,
We often referred to Centre Hall ¢
{ a locality unsurpassed for its healthful
ness. The purity of our mountain air,
absolutely pure mountain water, with
healthful surroundings for many miles
around, are what contribute to this fa-
vorable condition. A number of min-
isters of the Gospel, who eame here in
{more or less delicate health, rapidly
| gained in vigor by residing here, and
constitutions to
the health-giving qualities possessed
by Centre Hall and vicinity. Even
the beauty of our surroundings of val-
ley and mountain scenery affords a
{ wholesome eflect. Rev’s Boal, Eisen-
| berg, Goodling and Land, have found
| residing here more beneficial to health
i than all medicines, and our citizens in
| general can say the same. Our tgwn
{ has never been visited by an epidemic
{ of typhoid fever, diptheria, scarlet fe-
ver or small-pox. Our elevation
500 feet higher than Bellefonte ; our
mountain water under faultless regu-
lation, does not see the surface until
drawn from the hydrants, and there
is no swamp or marsh to spread a dan-
gerous miasma over us.
For the location of a sanitarium
there is no more favorable spot in the
world ; here nature would supply the
surest physician, attending the health-
seeker all the time and free of cost at
that. Men of capital would find the
founding of a sanitarium at this place
a paying investment.

A New Fish Hatchery.
The state fish authorities have con-
cluded to establish another hatchery,
for the centre of the state. Philipsburg
is making an effort to have it located
on one of the streams near that town.
No more suitable or central spot could
be found than the head of Penn's creek
a short distance east of Centre Hall,
which creek is a natural trout stream
with an abundant flow of water all the
year round. We would have good
a show for this hatchery, if the proper
efforts were made, as any other locali-
ity. We have enterprising men here
who for over a dozen years have been
spoiling for a chance to put to good
use their ability and now the REPOR-
TER gives them this pointer—get a fish
hatchery started here and make a rep-
utation for vourselves and

we'll see
that no jealousy shall rob you of it nor
curs to scare you off,
Centre Hall would be a capital place
as headquarters for a fish hatchery, for

here in abundance for years past.
