The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1879-08-27
we take Measure in rotnrnino

REPUBLICAN, and paid us the cash in
advance. Our list has steadily In
creased since we took charge of the
paper, and if it keeps on increasing in
the future as it has in the past six
months it will have nearly doubled by
the time the first year is up. 1t is
also a gratifying fact that very many
of our old subscribers have come up
promptly and squared up their sub
scriptions for a year in advance.
Again we say, thank you, gentlemen
we hope to give you your moneys
worth.
-Messrs. Jameson & Copeland,
who have for the past year been man
ufacturing slaves nea= Little Tionesta
creek, recently purchased the white
oak timber on j. A. Proper's farm,
Dutch Hill, and will, as soon as they
have finished the run at their present
locatioG, move their mill to Tionesta.
They expect to buy up other timber
tracts in this vicinity, and will no
doubt have enough to keep their mill
running year or two, when once in
operation. This will make four mills
in Tionesta, two lumber mills, and
two stave mills. The more the
merrier.
Miss Clara Roberts, of Cincinnati,
who has been visiting at the May
mansion, shipped her Saratoga on Fri
day and started to Lyons, N. Y, to
spread her conquests further. She
made many friends aud admirers
during her brief stay, and, conse-
quently, the swapping of heart-strings
in this section sounds like a fire in
cane-brake. Miss Georgia Stow, who
accompanied Miss Roberts, departs
to-day, bearing with her the good
wishes Of many new friends in Tionesta.
One of our visiting sportsmen
slipped off quietly the other afternoon
and tried his luck for bass. He report
ed catch Of seven, but remarked at
the same time that the run of this
years bass is unusually small in size.
1t appears that he used an overgrDwn
horny club for bait. After hauling
out that club few dozen times he
observed that it was growing ungrace-
fully corpulent, and on opening it he
found the seven bass which his sport
i've bait had picked up.
Morris the Tailor of Oil City, has
just returned from New York with a
large and complete line of Fall goods
which he will make up at remarkably
low figures. He has also added full
line of Gents Furnishing Goods to his
business. Any one in need of ofanything
in Mr. Morris line can not do better
than to give him a call. A perfect
fit and entire satisfaction guaranteed
in every instance. 1t.
The river road from Tubb's Run
to the Hickory Twp, line is undergo
ing needed repairs. The trees and
brush are being trimmed out, giving
the sun more chance to strike the
road and keep it dried up. This
always has been the worst piece of
road in this section, and it is hoped
when this job is finished it will be
much improved, and safe to travel.
The grass in the river bottom is
now ripe for the equatic sportsman,
and bites keenly. Mr.. H. M. Irwin
and DIR. Coburn took a rafting troll
on Saturday, and caught enough grass
on their hooks to stuff q boarding
house pillow. This grass may be
called Greenback game-fat fish, as
it were. All flesh is grass, and SOS all
fish.
Last Thursday Mrs. Robb, who
lives two miles up the creek, was over
come by the heat, while in the garden
gathering some vegetables. She was
assisted into the house and DR.. Blaine
was summoned, who found her in a
very critical condition. He admins
tered the usual remedies in such cases,
and she is now able to be out again.
