The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1873-10-22

mOnJn we seDJ OUT OlllS 10 many Wno
owed us, and up to the present time,
with one or two honorable exceptions,
we failed to realize on them. Now on
Saturday last we had TO borrow money
to pay draft from our paper men.
We are constrained to say, "Why is
this thus ?" If those who owe us
would pay. VIC could then pay those
whom we owe, they could ditto to those
who have bills against them, and so
on ad infnitum; and we have no doubt
but the money would finally lodge in
the hands Of those who are now with
holding the same from us.
"A "fresh" has come, and the lum.
bermen are stirring little, and con-
siderable lumber has been run out of
the creek. All of Bonds lumber is
out, and some Of other firms up the
creek. This will not be general
clearing out of the lumber as the
spring freshets usually are. The wealth
er is extremely disagreable for out
door work. The river to-day is above
rafting stage, but will be down in a
day or two so that lumber can be
moved to Pittsburgh and below, easily.
The post-ofiice was moved to an
other room of the same building, the
first of the week. 1t is now situated
in the south room of the Bonner 81
Agnew building, the same formerly
occupied BY Knox as a tin shop, and
Long as harness shop. New parti-
tions have been put in, and Mae"
now has room according to his strength.
The Office will be open at all times,
Sundays excepted, from 8 a. m. until 9
p. IN.
The sidewalk just south of the
bridge over Council Run, between
Einsteins' Store and the Rural House,
is in dangerous condition, and liable
to disable persons walking over it af-
ter dark. On Monday evening last
two Indies fell through the walk at the
place mentioned; fortunately without
material injury, but the next one may
not be so lucky. Some one should fix
it at once, and we call the attention Of
our council to the fact.
Attention is called to the new gd-
vertisement of j. b. Agnew, who, now
that the room formerly occupied by
the post Office is entirely at his dis
posal, prOposes to keep general
assortment of fruit, confectionery, no.
tions, tobacco, cigars, &c. Please no.
tice, also, that oysters are constantly
for sale by the can, or will be served
in any way to suit customers.
The Democratic tickets for Howe
township were sent to Jake Cosper, Of
BaIltown, and Jake, we suppose, was
busy hunting that day, and forgot that
the country had to be saved, aud did
not make his appearance at the polls.
This will account for no democratic
votes being polled in that township
Jake is in disgrace with the uuterri-
fed just now.
Sheriff Van Giesen is crippling
around with boil on the back Gf his
neck, and looks very digni6ed about
it. Nothing puts MIN out of humor
SO much just now as to give him n
gentle rap on the back of the neck.
He attributes it to causes which we
very much doubt, hut will not enter
into discussion of question.
The time table experienced a
change on Sunday last, which the same
is chronicled at The head of our first
local column. Two passenger trains
have been taken off, much to the dis
gust of the travelling public in this
section. The change, We hope will
soon be changed back to the place
from whence it was changed.
The coal business is said to be
brisk about town just now, moving
rapidly at all hours of the day and
night. Ours burns rapidly enough to
suit US, aud we do 10; want it to take
unto itself wing. and fly away" be.
