4 TIMELY NEWS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND CITY'S SUBURBS' 500 SOLDIERS FROM PERRY CO. Big Percentage of Population in Service in Army and Xavv For Present War Newport, Pa., Jan. 31. —Perry county has been doing well during the present war. A large number of men have gone forth from this little county with its 24.000 population, to serve in the Army and Navy—ap proximately 500 of them. Going back some tlfty years ago. we find over 2,000 boys going out from the county to help preserve the Vnion. No less than 1.820 of the participants in this great lntersection al strife are lying in Perry cour.ty cemeteries. Looking back to the Revolutionary period, we rind that Perry county, then nothing more t iian a wilderness, again did her duty. Eighty-flve combatants in that great war for freedom now lie in Perry ccuyity soil. And these records do not include all from this little patriotic ountv, who have so gallantlv de fended the Stars and Strip's, for many of them never cama back. Many found other resting places. And so Perry county boys now are merely following in the footsteps of their fathers. PASTOR ACCEPTS CALL Marietta, Pa., Jan. 31.—The Rev. ,K C.
