The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1873-09-03

notice we published last week, is at
present running the Scott House, at
Fagundus, Roberts, the former pro-
prietor having been sold out at Sher-
ifs Sale. There's money in the house,
and we have no doubt but Len. will
get it out.
The foundation of Eli Holeman's
new house is finished, and the work
will go on as rapidly as possible. The
house is to be 24x96, two stories in
height, with portico in front. He ex-
poets to finish the house this fall. 1t is
situated on Vine st., and the lot is a
beautiful one, nicely shaded, with some
fruit trees started.
-Chas. NJ. Cott, of the firm of
Smythe q Co., Job Printers, Columbus,
Ohio, called on us last week, and left
some beautiful samples of his printing.
He formerly worked in the Democrat
Office in Clarion, but having imbibed
taste for job work, struck out for
himself, and is now one of the best
job printers we know. Beside all that
he's very nice fellow himself.
WANTED.-A boy to take the char
acter of devil in printing office.
Having tried at least dozen or more
boys, we desire boy who will attend
to business and do what is required of
him, which amounts to nothing in
these dull times. A boy of this char
acter will receive steady employment
and no questions askcd.-Pet Centre

John Thompson, one of our Coun-
ty Commissioners, has just finished
harvesting his oat, of which he had
twenty acres this year. He brought
sample down to the Court House on
Monday last, and defes any farmer in
the county to produce better quality.
Of oats. John has a good farm in
Hormony township, near Stewards
Run p. o., and works it intelligently
and profitably.
The war between the Derrick and
and the A. V. r. r. still continues.
The Titusville and Petroleum Centre
papers seem to sympathize with the
railroad, and Bishop has to fight the
combination single handed. The price
of the Derrick has been reduced to two
and half cents, and claims to he
more prosperous than ever. For our
part we are in favor of letting the
Derrick and r. r. fight it out by them
selves.
The creek bridge is almost finish
ed, and will probably be crossable in
the course Of week or ten days. This
bridge is one which will stand long af
ter many who pay taxes to help build
it have mouldered away to dust. As
long as they live, however, for four or
five years to come, at least, they will
have to come down with the "dust" to
the tax-collector. 1t is not likely,
however, that any one will kick against
this tax, as the money was we'll laid
out.
The meeting of the Sixth Annual
Convention Of the Y. M. G. A., of
Pennsylvania, will be held in Johns
