Flagmaker’s Art an Exacting One. The flagmaker's art is an exacting one and many modern descendants of Betsy Ross are employed by the Brook- lyn flag master, Much skill is re- quired to make such a flag as that of Venezuela, which has a prancing horse upon it. A special machine has been designed for cutting the white stars used In our own flag. These are of eight sizes, and every year many thou. sands of such stars go into flags made by government employees, These stars vary from two inches to fourteen inches in diameter, Eu a amt Centre Reporte: at $1.00 per year, O clock Hall consist Cul re, BATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22rd, at one p.m. L L Bmith will sell at the Centre hotel barn, complete livery equipment ing of five head horses, buggies, sleighs, bob, hernew, ete.
