MIR. Ill. a. Whittekin, brother OF
our County Surveyor, is at work with
a gang Of men, establishing a grade
for Elm st., ia pursuance Of resolu-
tion by the Town Council. This is
one Of the most sensible moves our
borough dads have made for some
time, and should have been done
years ago.
Opposition is the life of trade.
Another harness maker came to town
last Friday evening, but it will be
some time before he will engage in
business. We believe Mr.. Fulton is
rather pleased with the newcomer and
will accept hin as partner when he
is ready to branch out. Weight eight
pounds and doing we'll.
Mr.. G. M. Kepler is steadily in
creasing the industries Of Salmon
Creek. He recently consumated a
bargain with a gentleman who will in
short time put in machinery at that
place for the manufacture of fork
handles and shingles. The industry
will give employment to dozen or
fifteen more men at Salmon.
Our Brookston correspondent
writes as follows under date of May
%: "Mr and Mrs. Anthony Deet
lost their second child, Johnnie, on
Thursday, May 18th, aged about three
years, diphtheria being the disease.
Mrs. Deet is lying very sick at her
sisters, Mrs. Ambrose Carey, at Don.
aldson's, to where she was removed
before the last child died. 1 learn
this morning that she is somewhat
better, and hope with their many
friends that the Improvement may
continue"
The Oil City Blizzard is a new
paper which made Its bow to the pub
lie on Monday evening. f. w.
Bowen formerly Of the Derrick is the
editor, and bis associates are Mcknight
q Gates, also old attaches of the Der
rick. 1t is a Blizzard sure, and with
such talent at the head can scarcely
be anything but success. If it don't
succeed It will not be on account Of
brains. Our best wishes, gentleman ;
and may your Blizzard become as
powerful for good as the ones we read
about in the far west are for, bad.
The borough schools have closed
tor the season. Miss Freeman, the
principal, was obliged to give up her
school, on account of i'll health, about
month before the term had expired
She gave very general satisfaction, and
proved herself a successful teacher
and her talent and refinement won fol
her host of new friends who will ever
hold her in high esteem. Miss Sue
Evans, who had charge of the inter
mediate department, was loved anC
esteemed by her scholars and became
very popular with the parents anC
} patrons. Her school was a success, al
, is attested by the rapid and thorough
progress made by her scholars. Sh,
. bears with her the best wishes of many
Q acquaintance made during her abod,
r in Tionesta. Miss Aggio Kerr ha
: given splendid satisfaction in the pri
mary department. Her band of littl
). folks was very much attached to her
| and seemed to take pleasure in obey
1 ing her. She was the right one in tn
n right place, and can doubtless hav
the school again if she wants it. Alto
getber the past term of school was
success if we are to judge from TIA
: progress made by the scholars. True
there is always a certain class ofgrowl
-. ers is any community, aud the les
attention paid to that class by the cit
izens generally, the more will tn
schools prosper.
