The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1872-09-18

Pleasantville, last week, and we're sur.
prised to see how many goods he sold. !
II seems that be must do good share !
Of the grocery business of that place.
We noticed also that A. Holeman,
Esq, was putting up very large
brick building, three stories high, in
which an opera house is to be con-
structed. Brown Brothers are also
building large brick building on the
opposite corner, and large hotel is
going up just across the street. Build
ing lots are selling rapidly, and bust
ness is lively. The new railroad,
which is graded to that place, will, in
all probability, give new impetus to
The place. Our old time friend DIR.
McMullen has an extensive and beau
tifully furnished drug store there, and
Greeley is nowhere as far as that place
is concerned. Hacks are constantly
running to and from Titusville, and,
taking it all in all, Pleasantville is a
very desirable place to live.
-Cash-up is not by any means dead
yet. We passed through there OH
Friday last, and noticed that a MAORI
ty Of the wells were still pumping.
We are informed that this district pro-
duces about three hundred barrels per
day steadily. It's rather bad place
to take scary horse, on account of
the steam which is constantly putting
into its face from the engines, but
should not the oil give out there, we
should not be surprised if Cash-up
should at no distant day become quite
a town.
Lots are selling quite briskly,
just now. Col. Thomas sold the lot
adjoining Tate's, 81 feet front, 200 feet
deep, to T. j. Van Giessn. j. w.
Stroup purchased the next one. Jas.
Woodington, L. Agnew and Daniel
Agnew have purchased the next three,
and the corner lot next Kepler's was
sold to some party whose name we did
not learn. We presume that houses
will be built upon all these lots the
coming summer.
NMr. G. w. Dithridge has purchas.
ed the spile-driyer which was used in
the construction of the dams below
the mouth Of the creek, and is about
to put in some wing dams at the mouth
Had these improvements been made
previous to the last flood the lumber.
men would have saved more than
twice the amount they cost. Lumber
can now always get out of the creek
when there is water enough in the
river to float their RATS.
We would advise ali who wish tc
vote at the coming election to take nc
bets however tempting they may be
as that is one way the Greeleyites are
t taking to reduce Grants majority. They
e appoint committee of one or two tC
e take all the small bets they can get
from as many Grant men as possible
/ and then propose to challenge thei
Y votes at the polls. So look out fo
artful lodges, at this season.
e "A grand sociable and dance vii
be given at the hall in lawrence
new Hotel to. morrow (Thul sday) even
. ing 10Th inst. Good music has beer
+. secured, and refreshments will b.
r served during the evening. All art
G invited to attend. We are Informed
that the hall is peculiarly adapted t,
entertainments of this character, ant
we have no doubt but that this will
prove an enjoyable affair.
S "A Greeley and Brown meeting a
e the Court House was addressed oil
Saturday evening last by Mr.. Chas
- Stowe, of Girard. We were not pres
n ent but understand that not much o
g a crowd appeared, and the enthusiasm
i was light. A Republican who wa
. present informed us that he did no
think Mr.. Stowe made any points o.
the administration or Republican pal
T. ty which amounted to anything.
