The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1884-04-09

Business in jerks is moving along
very nicely. CURL, Campbell & Co.
started up their mill last week ran
ming full time, with Whit Davis at the
helm. Frank Williams mill has
been moved to Howe twp, above Shelf
field Junction. We we're sorry to
lose Frank and the mill, and wish
him luck In the new deal. The next
mill on the list, Robinson & Bon
ner's, is shut down for the present. Also
the next, Sbipe, Mensch q Co., but
the stock is on hand for work in the
"near beyond" Mill number four,
Henry Bayard & Co., is on the Hagen
tract, cutting pine at the rate of 90.
600 feet per day. DR.. fowler is the
"Co." of this concern in Forest
County for four years be has been
saving hardwood and the company
still have a million feet 10 stock.
Hardwood, however, so far as cherry
and ash are concerned has been cut as
far Ack from the railroad as it pays
to manufacture in this section, and
it is now either less price for stnmp.
age or more price for lumber, or
quit on that kind of stock. The
pine and especially the hemlock, of
this section, however, will keep lum.
bermen busy for years and years to
come. The next mill is Frank Reck's
with q capacity, since it was re.
modled, of 10000 feet per day.
This mill is cutting pine and hemlock +,
and is first-class in every particular.
Next cones Byroms-saw mill, plan
ing mill, shingle mill, and dry.house,
is the size Of the manufacturing in
dastries at that point. Over the line
of the township comes Frost's mill,
at Pigeon P. o. There is always
some life and stir going on at Pigeon.
Just now we understand Frost has an
oil well in view. Good luck to him
in The move. Near Byrom's is Drury's
shiDgle mill, turning out good stock.
Still farther up the railroad is the
Nash shingle mill, running with q
full crew and turning out number
one article.
The Mercantile List, recently pub.
lished in the REPUBLICAN, gives our
number and rating of stores, etc.
All Of these but three are at the mills.
These three are at Marienville and
are, Sigworth & Amsler, successors to
j. w. Kahle IL Son. The township
lost a good resident in John w. Kahle;
his honor ia beyond question, and the
stories he told of his old party, the
democracy, we're charming to hear.
However, in losing our Greenback
friend, the Honorable j. W., We gain
ed solid Republican in Col. Amsler,
u most worthy man. Store number
two, is run by T, Jefferson Reyner.
JEFF is one of the solid men, both in a
business point OF view and that of
avoirdupois. The last is Henry Bull
lers, from Jefferson Co. When Mr..
Bullers started IN, it was thought that
3 stores couldn't live in the town, but
the result is, that Bullers is doing a
nice business while not in the least
hurting that of the other merchants.
In the eating line, if your patrOas
are in hurry, they can drop into
M. G. Carringer's, near the depot, and
get just what they want in shape of
of meal, lunch or cigar, but your
driAks must be in the line of coffee,
tea, cider, birch or ginger beer, and
pumpwater. When they want to stay
awhile and enjoy the healthy air and
bracing mountain breeze, all they
have to do is to turn to the Hotel of
j. B. Watson. Every Clarion county
man of sespectability will tell you
that Mrs. j. B. is one of the most
excellent ladies that ever left Clarion
for a better country. It's possible they
might modify the latter but in their
hearts they know it's true.
In religious matters We are pro.
crossing. Rev. Hickling, the excel
lent "Blue Stocking parsOn" of TiO'
nesta, endeavors to keep the Presby.
