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.

DECORATION BERVICES,

How the Day Was Observed
Hall,
Decoration Day services were appro
priately observed in Centre Hall on
Tuesday, and large crowds turned out
to witness the services. 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.
The Bons of Veterans about (wenty-
five strong, with arms followed. Be-
