Bellefonte’s Best Store, were AN Dre 365 Days Ahead of Any Store in Centre County. Last Saturday evening an intelli- gent citizen of Bellefonte called me aside and asked me “why I didn’t publish a price list, and spread it broadcast over the county.” He insisted that if the people actually knew how much lower my prices were than any store in Bellefonte, I would be forced to double the number of clerks to wait on the crowds. I know his idea is a good one, and until 1 can get out that price list, would ask U to Kom and C how it is Urself. G. R. Spigelmyer.

The weather was fine, a clear sky with gentle breeze to temper the overhead sun. The Memorial sermon was preached before the G. A. R. and Bons of Veter- ans in the M, E., church at Spring Mills on Bunday morning. The Sam- uel Kelley Camp Sons of Veterans and many members of the Samuel Shan- non Post attended the services in a body. Tuesday morning a detail of about twenty-five men from Co. B, 5th Reg., which served in the late war, came to Centre Hall from Bellefonte to deco- rate the graves of John Thomas, who died in the service at Lexington, and of another member, Robert Murray. The soldiers were under command of Lieutenant Taylor, and as they march- ed to the cemetery they were followed by many. At the cemelery the graves of their comrades were sirewn with flowers. Corporal Daly delivered a short but touching address as the boys were lined up by the side of the grave of Private Thomas. Thee volleys were fired, the bugler sounded taps and the boys marched from the ceme- tery. In the morning the Sons of Veter- ans went to Linden Hall under com- mand of Capt. Jefl, Shaffer. Owing to a misunderstanding the services were held in the aflernoon. However the camp held their services and deco- rated the graves and came home. In the afternoon they went to BSpruce- town cemetery. In this cemetery there lie buried more union veterans than any place in the county outside of Bellefonte and Philipsburg. Rev. J. M. Rearick delivered the address of the day. The services at Centre Hall were not held until six o'clock in the evening, and there were a great many people in town fom olLher paris to witness Lhe services. The Potte.s Mills band fur- nished musie for the occasion. At six o'clock the procession started from the G. A. R. room headed by the band.

Ripley succeeded in freeing himself, but it was only after several hours’ work that he succeeded in free- ing his companion. Mr. Bitoer's in- juries may prove fatal. For Commissioner.
