The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1871-09-05
LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOUS.

We are not able to give our usual
amount of reading matter this week,
on account Of press of advertising.
We will make it up hereafter.
"A. II. Steele started for the West
yesterday, to bring his family home.
They have been visiting in Boone,
Iowa, for about two months or more.
j. j. Fisher has sold out his stock
of goods to other merchants in town,
and, we believe, contemplates going
out of business altogether.
Judge Proper is pulling down the
old barn below his store, on Elm St.,
and the change promises to be an i'm
provement to the property.
-"Cooning" is in vogue about here.
Several 'coons have been captured, and
much corn roasted by the cooners.
We have not tried our hand yet.
DR.. Worthington, of West Ches-
ter, Inspector of Prisons, was in town
last week, and inspected our county
Jail. He pronounced it in good order.
ID. S. Knox & Co. have bought
out the Hardware and Tinware depart
ment of j. j. Fishers establishment,
and offer the same at reduced rates to
all who wish to purchase.
Prof. Porter was in town ON Sat
urday, looking as though Cooksbargh
grub agreed with him. He was dust
ing around getting ready for the Cooks
burgh exhibition.
When we went to press last week,
the weather looked favorable for a
food. Only enough water fell, how
ever, to make the mills run easy for a
while.
Jos. Grove cut his foot pretty Sc
verely one day last week, at Sandy.
He is now at home, on crutches, but
hopes soon to be in a condition to run
footraces.
Rev. Burton was ambitious to
beat Capt. Knox on a bee-line. So he
went at and got one of his eyes closed
by the stern stroke Of bee. He is
still one eye and a nose behind the
Cap. Try it again, Elder; you may
come out ahead vet.
Judging from present indications,
chestnuts will be an abundant crop in
this section. We believe they are too
far along now to be liable to harm
from frosts, SO we can smack our chops
in anticipation of nice time eating
chestnuts this fall and winter.
ATTENTIoN.-There will be special
meeting of Pionesta Temple of Honor
No. 10S, on Friday evening next, 9Th
inst. Business of Importance will be
transacted, and all members are par.
ticularly requested to be present.
M. w. TATE, w. G. I.
We were the recipient of friend,
ly call from Col. Mccoy, Asst Auditor
General of Pa, on Saturday last. He
is very agreeable gentleman, and we
only regret that business was SO brisk
that we could not properly entertain
him. He was here looking after some
lands which he owns in the county.
Judge Dale is mending rapidly
and is now able to be out occasionally
He received bad cut under his chin
about three-fourths of an inch from the
jugular vein, and considers himself for
tunate in coming off as we'll as he did
Mr.. Steele is all right, not having been
hurt very much.
We desire to call attention to the
programme of an exhibition, to be Civ
'en by the Cooksburgh Literary Society
which will be found on the second
page. Prof. Porter will manage the
affair, and his reputation is established
in that line. We have no doubt thai
it will be a complete success, and
hope to see a large delegation from this
place go out there to see how it is them
selves. If job work comes in unti
then, as it has for couple of months
past, we despair of getting there our
self; but if it is a possible thing We
will sec the exhibition.
