Moore, William - 1898

High Park Has a Flag.
High Park, a suburb of Jeannette, had a flag raising all its own on Saturday evening.  Mr. Chew who resides directly on top of the hill, erected a flag pole sixty-five feet high, and from this now floats the stars and stripes, and the lone star flag.  As the spot selected for the flag pole is the highest eminence in this section, the flag can be seen from all directions for miles.  Mr. Wm. Moore who lives opposite Mr. Chew, will duplicate the performances Saturday evening, July 16.
