turns to his home in few days.
Bob. Way, the champion jumpist
Of the United States was in town yes
terday. He don't look as if he could
jump much, but those who have seen
him try say he is lightning"
Wild plums are ripe, and are be-
ing indulgod in by the youngsters
about here to the great discomfort of
their mothers, who have to doctor them
up.
Capt. Knox's new barn on the
hill is finished, and besides being very
neatly arranged, has an observatory
on top,-an ornament not generally
indulgcd in on barns in this section.
The walk between Cam. Porter
and Geo. Hunter takes place on Tues
day next unless one party or the other
backs out. Had we the time to spare
we should enjoy going along and see
ing how it was done.
Bond Brothers, at the mouth Of
Bear Creek are tearing down their
mill and moving it to another part of
the tract. 1t is not very large mill,
but it has cut q wonderful sight of
lumber within the past few years.
The Blue Stockings and White
Pines played game on Saturday last,
in which the score stood 36 to 3S in
favor of the White Pines. 1t is there
fore safe to say that the Blue Stockings
are improving. We understand that
there were good and sufficient reasons
why this was thus.
There hasn't been divorce suit
in the Forest county courts for long
time. We are beginning to yearn for
the time when some family will kick
up disagreement and allow the diff
to be settled by the Judge and Jury.
We amt far enough along in this
county yet for much business i'll the
divorce line.
The Borough Ordinance relating
to sidewalks is being attended to in
good shape. We notice thus far that
G. w. Robinson has fine walk in
front of his residence, and that W. 2
Mercilliott has done likewise in front
of his office. We have no doubt that
all will attend to the provisions Of the
ordinance at once.
Don't forget the baseball game
between the White Pines of this place
and the Printers of Clarion, which is
to take place at Tylersburg on Satur
day next. We hear that the country
round about that place will all be
there, and it is probable that quite q
number of spectators will be there
from Clarion and Tionesta.
We are credibly informed that
the attempt to organize Greeley club
in the ancient burgh Of Clarion on
Saturday evening, was q failure. The
bell was tolled until the ringist tainted
and no Greeleyites appeared. The
hall was not even lighted up, Verify
this is weak for the Democratic strong
hold Of this senatorial district
The bridge over Council Run, Oh
Elm St. has been patched and darned
and id so much that it is difficult
to tell which is the original bridge
Teamsters tell us that it is full time
that a new bridge was built there, and
after an unprejudiced view of the struc
ture we must confess that we are O
the same opinion.
Mrs. S. NJ. f. Jones, teacher o
