town, Pa, who is paying her first visit
to Tionesta since her parents departed
from here, while she was yet in her
infancy.
Mrs. j. L. Range ofStewarts Run,
was in town last week among her
many old friends, and while here took
occasion to pay US a visit which we
enjoyed very much. Forest county

ladies than Mrs. Range, and we hope
she may live many years to enjoy the
fruits of this world.
Mrs. Wallace, whose death notice
appears in another column, was better
known to our older citizens as Miss
Alice Shriver, and by those who knew
her she was much respected as a lady
of excellent qualities of heart. She
leaves, beside her husband, three
children and large circle of friends
to mourn her death.

gone, went and got married too; it
happened last Monday and the happy
bride was Miss Eva Boarts. We ex-
tend them our best congratulations
and join their many friends in wishing
them long and happy future. Paul

There is nothing new in Forest
county oil matters this week. Of
Balltown we haven't heard of any
thing of interest since our last, except
that the pipe line connections are
being made as rapidly as possible, and
before many days the market will re-
ceive its quota of oil from this new
territory. Grove, Hart & Co. will
have their rig up for the new we'll
near Beaver this week, and will prob
ably commence drilling by the first of
next. Wolcott & Co. are down be.
tween 800 and 900 feet at their Peters
Run well. They will probably finish
next week.
MIR. j. P. Lawson, for several
years foreman Of the Tionesta section
of the B. P. & w. Il. R., has been
promoted to supervisor of the road
between Cory and Buffalo, and ex.
poets to take charge forthwith. Du-

his conduct has been such as to gain
for him the highest esteem of all our
citizens. His quiet manners and
strict integrity will win him friends
wherever he goes, and while we are
sorry, indeed, to lose HIM as a citizen
we nevertheless congratulate him on
his success, and wish him prosperity
in the future. His place will not
easily be filed here.
