wish to extend hearty congratulations
to our old friend Harry. May the
little lady grow up to bless the "old
man" in his declining years: "Harry
S. Bates, of the Meadville Messenger,
wears long smile and stand up
collar. Last Friday night the angels
visited his cozy home and now he is
heirless no more. 1t is a girl, 8 pounds

Curt Shawkey has recently had
printed in book form list of lands in
Howe, jerks, Green and Kingsley
townships of this county. 1t gives the
