lily engaged this week, driving stave
bolts down Tionesta creek. They ex.

to run the mill steadily all winter.
Mr., H. A. Albums, we understand, has
taken contract of cutting up the
bolts, hence, the natural supposition
Is that the mill will he run to its ut.

for the proprietors and the contractor.
The late stormy weather seems to
have driven the squirrels out of the
reach of the average sportsman. Per-
haps they viii come around again du.
ring our Indian Summer, which will.
soon put in an appearance. In the
meantime, hunters are keeping sharp
lookout for pheasants, and OCCASION
ally, one wastes much valuable time
looking after deer.
Mrs. P. 0. Conver departed for
the snnial last week, in company
with Haslet and Gordon party.
There are number of our citizens
who have attended tho exposition
whose names we have not chronicled,
because it was impossible to keep track
of them. Mr.. j. r. Chadwick started
last week, and Mr.. S. A. Warner will
probably go this week.
The Republican club OF Fagundas
has raised the boss Hayes & Wheeler
pole of Forest county. It is about 10
feet high, without splice or flaw, and
is as straight as the tecket it repre-
sents. The Democrats have also raised
pole there, a smaller one. but it is of
hickory, and the bark on it is like un-
to Tilden's war recOrd-scaly.
We were last week informed that
some old oil wells at Little Hickory,
about four miles north of this place,
would be started up on Monday last.
There were some good wells at that
point once, but they, with many others
which would now be considered good
wells, we're abandoned during the Pit.
hole excitement.
The bear element is making Wig
OF Gus, and somewhat successful attempt
to reduce the price Of oil. Producers,
however, are holding for better prices,
which they will undoubtedly get pretty
soon. There is no present dagger of
oil going below three dollars, at which
figure it pays the producer very fair
margin.
There is considerable Talk going
on Of wells to be put down all around
us, but we believe the parties who are
talking of putting one down on Chas
Hills place, mean business. Mr.. Hills
farm is some three miles northof Tio-
nesta, on the same side of the river.
We have been enjoying few days
of very respectable weather, and, as a
consequence, great amount Of buck
wheat has been harvested and thresh.
ed. The buekwheat crop is rather
light this year, and undoubtedly some
of it has suffered during the past spell
of wet weather.
The election proclamation is pub

is the moral duty of every elector to
go up to the polls on the 7th day of
November, and cast his vote for Hayes
and Wheeler; but then, of course,
that is understood.
There is no lack of weather proph-
cts who predict long spell of Indian
Summer before winter sets in, and we
devoutly hope that their predictions
may prove true. In case they do, the
Centennial will be perfect jam until
it closes. r.
Through the efforts of A. B. Kel-

There are one hundred and seventy.
FIVE volumes in the library, mGny of

adults as we'll as children.
