Notes.

Notes.
-Potato-digging time has come.
Grapes are in the market at s@loc.
apound.
We publish the court proceedings
In another column.
The sidewalk at the east side of
the big bridge is in dangerous con-
dition.
A large pile of wood at ones door
makes the appearance of the winters
storms less to be dreaded.
The festival in the basement of the
ME-. Church, for the benefit of Rev.
HI. V. Talbot, was decided success.
The deer-hunting season COM
mences on the lst day of October, and
closes on the 10th day Of December.
Frost the middle of May and last
of September don't leave very much
margin for "garden sass" Let's not
count this year.
\.-For a chap looking for Osterhout's
tannery on dark night, these tele-
phone poles are very useful as halfway
houses, so 70 speak.
We were shown some fine plank
at Hyde & Ross planning mill the
other day; one, in particular, two
inches thick, measured thirty-two
inches.
The Gazette, official Democratic
organ of Elk county, publishes card
from J. L. Brown, in which he thanks
his friends for their support, and urges
them to work for the success of the
ticket nominated.
Call and examine the new Fall
samples at the Wanamaker Agency.
No trouble TO show them, whether you
purchase or not. Compare prices before
buying.
On Sunday night the first frost Of
the season performed at this place, and
a heavy old freeze it was. Tomatoes
looked sick, and all other kinds of
vegetation needed bracingu up. Winter is
on us in dead earnest; but let it come,
we don't care cent, if Uriah Rogers
brings our coal before we are out.
The grand jury failed, by large
majority, to condemn the old court
house, but were in favor of making a
few repairs. Perhaps another shingle
would make the old thing last until
the next centennial. In the eyes of
hn old rofct poct tc alrao1 q,
condemned. The ways of grand jurors
are past finding out, all the same.
Pay that little bill of subscription
you owe us. After having worn boot
on one foot and shoe on the other all
summer, and as the shoe needs mend
ing, perhaps those chaps who have
been receiving this sheet for near eight
years, and who have never paid a cent,
will feel inclined to chip upa few cents.
Wen wager our boot to an empty cider
barrel that these same non-paying
chaps are the greatest grumblcrs about
the manner the paper is conducted.
AS the Elk Democrat has ceased
to be of any use to the party it pre-
tends to represent, it might. as well
turn Republican now as any time. The
mass of Democrats in Elk county
place no more dependence in that
patent-medicine sheet than they do in
last years almanac. This fact is
evident from the way its puny editor (?)
abuses the ADVOCATE editor in retalia-
ton for the subscribers who have trans
ferred their patronage from him to us.
His rapidly decreasing list causeth
him to howl.
One hundred new Fall Samples,
and the new Fall styles Fashion Plate
Just received from Wanamaker's at the
West End Store. Suits cheaper than
ever. A new feature introduced this
season is the prepayment by w. & b.
of the express charges upon all suits
costing $50 and upwards, where the
money accompanies the order, thus
giving our citizens goods at Philadel-
phia prices. Among the rules of this
house
One Price. Cash Payment.
Full Guarantee. Money Returned.
