days last week. He has been opsrat-
ing in oil at Petroleum Centre lately,
but comes TO Tionesta occasionally to
look over his bank account.

our sympathy.
While in Oil City the other day,
We had the pleasure Of meeting C. S.
MARX, Esq, the Republican candidate
for Sheriff of Venango county. His
nomination is equivalent to an cleo
tion, and we must say that the Repub-
licans of Vonango have made a wise
choice Of candidate. Mr.. Mark has
for six years, served as Deputy Sheriff,
and is probably the most competent
man for the position in the county.
IN. L. Dorrance has sent chal-
lsnge to Maj. Mclaughlin, Of Titus
