The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1873-08-13

Hon. John Fertig, Mayor of that city.
We we're surprised.to learn that the
Mayor was formerly a citizen of this
region, was raised, in fact, near Tylers-
burg, and for years run down the riv-
er from here whenever rise occurred.
The Mayor is man who has risen
entirely by his own exertions, and
ore with whom it is real pleasure
to become acquainted. The citizens
of Titusville manifested their good
sense when they elected him for Mayor,
for there is not man among them
who will do the Office more honor.

The workmen are building staging

er side Of the river to the first pier,

next week.
"A man whose name we have for.
gotten, employed on the Lacytown
bridge, had his hand badly crushed by
q stone falling upon it, one day last
week. He carries the injured mem
ber around in a sling, and is very

We received communication
from Camp Meeting last evening

at least as early as Tuesday morning
To-day the Democratic Legisla
tive Conferees of this district meet a
Fryburgh to take some more votes
and if possible to nominate candi
date for Assembly. Of course tn
Iconferees on each side will do exactl,
as they are instructed, and we hav
no idea that there will be any none,
used to change anybody's vote, ant
don't believe it would win with any o
the Forest Delegates any way.

GERS enough, in all conscience.
