that Dominie Constance, an Italian,
was arrested by Sheriff Taylor and
"lodged in jail for firing several pistol

seen on previous occasions when get-
ting supplies. The Italian was order-
ed from the premises, whereupon he
drew out a revolver and shot at Mr,
Rothrock, who fled to the house.

MEMORIAL AT ANDERSONVILLE,
The Dedication Likely to ba Postponed
for Two Years,
The dedication of the Soldiers’ Me-
morial at Andersonville is likely to be
postponed from November 10 for at
least two years,
This information is gained from a
letter to B. D. Brisbin, of Centre Hall,
from Adjutant General Thomas J,
Btuart. Mr. Brisbin was a prisoner at
Andersonville, and was an interested
party, and accordingly made inquiry.
The letter from Adjutant General
Stuart is as follows :
“The date of the dedication of the
Boldiers’ Memorial Andersonville

it now appears as thopgh it would be

A GROWING SUBSCRIPTION LIST
A Few Figures for Advertisers Who Wish
to Do Business in Peons Valley,
The subscription list of the Centre
Reporter is steadily growing. The Re-
porter’s popularity can not be judged
by what it was a little over three years
ago; it has added since that time to
its list of subscribers fully one-fourth
more readers who pay for the paper.
Attention is here called to the fact
that business men who wish to gain
trade in the southern portion of Cen-
tre county can not reach the bulk of
consumers through any other news-
paper than the Reporter.
This has been proven by advertisers
who have goue to the trouble to look
into the facts. It would be profitable
for others to accept their statement
and act accordingly.
The increase at the
various post offices in Penns Valley is
