Many Pennsylvania papers have pub
lished a statement that the State would
furnish transportation this fall to Ameri-
Gus, Ca, to all soldiers residing in the
State who were prisoners at Anderson

Act of Assembly providing for the trans
portation fixes a rate of cent per mile.
The railroad companies demand II cents,
and unless they come down to the cent
basis no transportation can be furnished.

While a number of cows, on their
way home from pasture last evening,
were pasturing on Vine street and in the
yards of residents of that street, one of
them ran at a 3 vear.old baby, knocking

them are some where else, it is time to
call a halt.
