CENTRE HALL, PA., THURS, Feb, 1 Is it 1IQOr 207? Everybody and everybody's neighbor is discussing the century problem. They don’t know wheth- er it is the Nineteenth or Twentieth and neither side can convince the other. Funny, isn’t it, how opinions will differ. Why, we know men and women who buy shoes at the “cheap” stores and think they are getting a whole lot for their money because the prices are low. Wev'e never been able to sell shoes equally at low prices because the men who make our shoes are shoemakers, and must be paid right will use leather, money wages, and because they nothing but substantial which naturally cost than the trashy sorts. value for the moneyjthan more But we give more shoe any “cheap” store you know of.

MES, TAMER BOAL, Passed Pencefully Away, After an Iliness of Several Weeks, Last Thursday night, at about one o'clock, Mrs. Tamer Boal, widow of James C. Boal, passed away, after sev- eral weeks of suffering, at the home of her daughter, Mrs, Lycurgus Lingle, at Earleystown, Mrs. Boal had not been in good health for several years, but at no time was confined to the house until the last two months, and was not con- sidered dangerously ill, until two waeks ago, when she was unable to leave her bed. A physician was at once summoned, who found her suffer- ing from a complication of diseases of the heart and liver, which baffled all efforts made for her recovery. She re- ceived the best of medical treatment and most careful nursing, yet she grad- ually grew weaker, and at times suffer- ed intedsely, until Thursday night about a half hour vefore her death, she fell into a peaceful slumber and in that manner passed away. Mrs. Boal was well known and high- ly respected by many in this place, having resided here for many years until within the last year, which she has spent with her daughter, at whose home she died. She will long be re- membered by her friends, for her many kindly acts, and her cheerful, loving disposition.

During the past week the citizens have been considerably agitated over a mad dog which passed through that section, biting other dogs and cattle, which developed hydrophobia, and quite a number of farmers had their cattle quarantined, while an embargo was placed on all the dogs in the town- ship. About three weeks ago a dog affict- ed with the rabies passed through Wolf's Store and Rebersburg. The brute bit other dogs and even attacked cattle in the barn yards and fields. The dog was given a chase and was filled with bullets near Bpring Bank, The incident was almost forgotten un- til last week when several head of cat- tle showed symptoms of a peculiar dis- ease. They frothed at the mouth, plunged about the stables in which they were confined, and rushed about madly. Bome of the cattle tore off their horns and broke down the troughs. Dr. Riter, of Centre Hall, agent for the State Live Stock Banita- ry Board, was notified of the trouble and at once proceeded to the scene, bia. Several head of stock died and he took the brains from one animal and sent it to Harrisburg for analysis. nose On Monday Dr. Riter had the stock days, during which time all cattle affected will develop the | disease.
