The Telephone Company Grants the Three Dollar Rate, The Penns Valley patrons of the tel- ephone company who petitioned the company to grant a $3 rate, same as given the Bellefonte phones, have won and the phones stay in. The petition- ers have been paying $4 per month on a line with ten phones, while in Belle- fonte a private line with only one phone is granted the same rate at $4 per month, and residences as low as $18 per year. The patrons in the valley did not take kindly to this discrimination and petitioned for a reduction or phones to go out. The company hearkened, as without the valley lines the system in Bellefonte would be comparatively useless to many, and the company saw it in this light. The phones stay and the patrons for the time are content. SE Entitled to the Medal, A paper in Kansas is entitled to the medal, for telling its readers tall corn stories.

Three men began work today to chop the stalk down, and it is hoped the young man may be res- cued before starvation overtakes him.” — i A MA Man Murdered. Tyrone has a sensation.
