We have been asked to call the
attention of .our borough authorities
to the bad condition of the road i'm.
mediately above the Tubbs Run bridge
the heavy rains Of the past few days
having was he'd it out so as to make it
unsafe to travel. Last Saturday while
Judge Hill was coming to town he
was thrown from his hack and quite
severely bruised. 1t would be we'll
to look after the matter at once as
some serious trouble might arise
therefrom if not attended to in time.
"A notice has been sent to the sew
eral Sunday Schools N Forest county,
to send delegates to a meeting to be
held in the Presbyterian Church, Tic.
nesta, on Tuesday, August Z, 1888. at
| o'clock, p. m, for the purpose Of or.
ganizing Sunday School Association,
to be auxiliary to the State Asocia-
ton. The object is to advance the
Sunday School work generally, and
create greater interest in the cause.
The organization is undenominational,
aud it is to be hoped all the schools
will be represented at the meeting.
The storm which passed over this
section last Friday afternoon did con.
siderable damage to some of the crops.
The storm seemed to be confined to a
narrow streak, and was accompanied
by hail. At Hunters station, three
miles below this place, the corn, po.
tatoes and oats were badly damaged,
some of the farmers having their corn
torn into shreds and totally ruined by
the large, hail stones that fell. On
Dutch Hill it passed between VIM.
Heath's and HI, A. ZuendePs places,
doing considerable damage to the lat.
ter's oats crop.
The young men Of this place have
organized themselves into what they
style the Tionssta Gymuastic and ORA
matte Club. A meeting was held Sat-
urday evening last and the following
officers chosen: President, Jas. b.
Muse; Vice PRECEDENT, Jas. Landers
Secretary, Jas. d. Davis; Treasurer,
Dan. jackson. The object Of the or.
ganization is fully demonstrated in the
name it has adopted. Dumb. bells,
Indian clubs, soft gloves, and the like,
have been ordered, and the boys will
soon all be practicing the manly art
Of self. defense, aud before long our
town will probably be able to turn out
a colony Of athletes, all of whom will
doubtless be stars in their line. Our
devil speaks for free ticket to the
first entertainment, and should the
club feel the need Of financial man
ager be puts in first bid for the berth
"Time !"
"A Barnett township friend sends
