The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1879-03-12

soon as he can look over the field and
perfect arrangements. Mr.. Dunn
came to Tionesta little over eleven
years ago, with Col. Reisinger, who
started The Bee, which was afterward
changed to the FOREST REPUBLICAN.
When the paper changed hands he
became its editor, but after a short
time he gave up the position and went
west. He remained in the west little
over a year, and was then prevailed
upon to return to this place and renew
his connection with the REPUBLICAN,
which he did in October 1870. In 1873
he bought the office and started out
for himself, and with a very few excep-
t'.., hich all newspaper men must
encounter, he has had the good will of
all who had any dealings with him.
Having been connected with him more
or less ever since his residence in Tio-
nesta, and having had great many
dealings with him, we know whereof
we speak when we say that more
honorable, square. dealing, and upright
gentleman can not be found anywhere.
In Mr.. Dunn's departure Tionesta
loses one of her very best citizens, and
the town of Breckenridge gains one of
whom it may be proud, and we cheer
fully recommend him to the generous
patronage Of its inhabitants. And
now, Will, may you ever flourish and
prosper "like the Green Bay Tree"
Mrs. Dunn and little daughter, Louise,
will remain in Tionesta until Mr..
Dunn gets permanently settled.

The ico having gone out oftho creek
considerable rafting was done yester.
day. Root g. Watson brought out
four or FIVE pieces, with which they
had little bad luck. AT Coon Creek
dam one piece broke in two and got
away. Three platforms of it were
caught AT the mouth Of the creek, but
two went out into the river and are
probably lost; the remainder of their
RATS. although somewhat racked were
landed here safely. Jas. Haggerty
succeed in getting out all right with
six or eight pieces. His reasons fol
running on this food was to make room
in the pond at Lacytown.
There seems to be an impression
in some parts of the county that the
bill prohibiting the running at large
of cattle, hogs ETC., of which we made
mention some time ago, was presented
and urged by Mr.. Wheeler. This is O
mistake. He did not present it, mol
was he in favor of it. When the bill
came up, Mr.. Wheeler knew that il
would be matter of considerable
Importance to Forest county, and SC
he sent copy of it here merely fol
inspection. The bill has been defeat,
ed, which will dispel all anxiety il
the matter.

in this county, and his friends will re
