Mrs. Suie NJ. Sharpe and son, Misses
Bertha, Bessie and Gussie Legnard
took their departure for that famous
seaside resort, Cape May Point. Their
friends here will wish them pleasant
soiourn.
Our farmers are getting into the
midst of the harvesting season as fast
as possible. The hay crop, which it
was thought would be large, will only
be fair, while many of the wheat
fields are nearly ruined by worms.
Hay is already commanding $12 and
$15 ton in this section.
The friends of Mr.. NJ. Ittel and
family of Aiken, Mexican county,
hereabouts will be sorry to learn that
he met with severe loss in the burn
ing of his dwelling house with nearly
all its contents few days before the
Fourth. There was no insurance, and
we learn that Mr.. Ittel had Just made
the last payment on the building.
The band instruments have ar
rived and soon, no doubt, our people
will be treated with some oul.stirring
music from Tionesta's brass band.
Thirteen pieces ought to make sufi.
cient music for most any town of our
size, and now if the boys will only 90
at it in business.like way and at.
tend strictly to their nittin' we may
shortly expect good band. The ma.
terial is here to make it and we wish
the boys every success.

He was doing we'll at last accounts.
Mr.. B. F. Caldwell, who has
been stopping at Raton, New Mexico,
for nearly four years, has been with
his many old friends here since the
3d inst, all of whom are glad to see
him once more. Ben. holds the re.

place and is here on a six weeks
leave of absence. He is the same
hale, hearty, good natured Ben that
he always was. His brother Elmer,
better known here as "Forepaugh,"
is with him in Ration, learning the
machinist trade.
The Fourth passed off quietly in
town. The program as published was
fully carried out. Tionesta won the
base ball game with Tidioute, the
score standing 8 to 7. The fantasies
were good, the races all satisfactory,
and the creased pole remained Gun

the benefit of the band, by the young
ladies was a complete success and net

these he has sold three buggies and
one spring wagon, and has three more
buggies ready to receive the finishing

price of these buggies are $3.50 each,
it will readily be seen that they are

larger cities turn out a nicer line of
work, nor do it any cheaper.
