Why Howard, of course; the best place in the county. Let us see: Our location is the prettiest and | most important in the Bald Eagle val- ley; on the top of a little eminence, on the north side of the Bald Eagle moun- tain, at the mouth of the little gap | through the mountain which furnishes | a bed for the play and the work of | Lick Run, and room enough besides for a practically level road over which little Nittany valley can bring all her produce to our station. This emi- nence furnishes such grades for our| streets and alleys all over the town | that the surface water drains away | promptly and completely, and malarial diseases are practically unknown in| our midst. The air is as pure, clear and invigorating as any in the world, | and the mountains and valleys, hills, | ridges and gorges on all sides furnish | scenery as inspiring as does the most | famous cantonment of Switzerland. | Lying nearly midway between the county towns of Centre and near the Beech Creek line which vides them-—fourteen miles from Haven and twelve miles fonte-—immediately on the line of Bald Eagle valley railroad, passenger trains day, (fo Sundays), puts us in easy and « touch with " if these places while fast, bring us di- Lock | Belle the six from each fent tant trains hours of and Pittain re eve Our water proved upon series of gorge gle mou cast iron parts tive been each way Philadel less than springs 80 near the pre proven with hose oon ness composed plied buildings which 1} The six angelical of Chri and C worship C‘hristiar Ors are odists Church stood of the pastor The for Ko, the policy In sulted Ir and attr in municipalities not dollar of d« in any form, and treasury and ir lector, mu than proba hile ant penditure |r nt bring to the year June balance still on of our property BRKORVOTE 1 missioners in we greater than it of taxation fo poses, including ough tax Where's the ho better financial In the way of ne organizations, we hay : é Fellows, a camp of "or le of America, a Grand m a Grange of the Pr! ons ry. each a strong and force In ite own Hoe, and evervone of them active and successful. and to these may he added at least two Wom en's Clubs, each one of which is hetter and larger, and more forceful for good than a mere gossiping aggregation The following list of public util ties and convehlences for living make | it plain that we are quite an well equipped as any and maPbe better than the majority of towns of our sige In the central counties of the State Our one hotel is a lcensed house three stories high, rontaining twenty rooms, and was built nv 1878 and Sor several vears owned hy Zara 8.
