bids for the opening and finishing of a
new road around what is known as
"Stow Bend" beginning at point in
the creek road near Peters Run and
ending near the Oldtown school house,

is being built in order to obviate the
grade that now exists between the
points mentioned.
The 4 o'clock passenger up on
Thursday last ran into the caboose of
q freight that was pulling into the
switch at the curve in the road below
the depot at this place. No one was

Mr.. E j. Russell gave the RE.
PUBLICAN a pleasant call yesterday.
He says reports from those members
of the family Gncluding his father,
Cash and Walter) who are now located
at Chehalis, Lewis county, Washing
ton Territory, are very favorable.
Mr.. E. Russell has purchased an ex-
tensive saw and planning mill at that
place, and will run it on an extensive
scale. With lumber selling at as good
figures as in this country, and With
stock costing only $4.00 per thousand
delivered at the mill, we cannot see
why there isn't big money in the bust.
ness. Z. j. and Thomas Russell talk
of migrating to that place in the
spring, after finishing up their lumber
business here. We shall be sorry to
lose these energetic gentlemen from
our midst.
Last week we stated that Tionesta
had one citizen who had voted for
General Harrison in 1910, Mr.. Daniel
Noble. We were not aware at the
time that we had any more, but we
have. Judge j. G. Dale was young
Harrison voter in those days, and took
an active part in that memorable cam
paigu, which he describes as the most
exciting one that ever has occurred,
or is ever likely to occur, in this coun-
try. Log cabins, canoes and hard
cider were visible on every hand,
while the songs of "Tippecanoe and
Tyler, too" we're on every lip, The
Judge will take especial pleasure in
casting his vote for the grandson of
Tippecanoe in November next. We
also understand that Judge Proper was
one of the Harrison men of 40, but
have not had an opportunity of inter.
viewing him as yet. And while we
are at it, why not have list of all the
Tippecanoe veterans that now reside
10 the county. VIII those now living
in our county please send in their
names?
The Allegheny Hunting and
Fishing Club" which has been in
camp at Tubbs Run for the past month
expects to break up housekeeping on
Friday of this week. During their
stay here the boys have conducted
themselves in such manner as to win
the respect of all our citizens, and
have shown themselves to be true
gentlemen, every one of them. Visi.
tors to their pleasant little home have
been shown every courtesy, and have
noticed no bOisterous demonstrations
of any kind. They have displayed
wonderful taste and skill in fixing up
their quarters in neat and homelike
manner, aud the grounds present the
appearance of veritable little garden
park, giving evidence of refinement
and culture on the part ofthe campers
which is rarely found in a party Of
, pleasure seekers out for a vacation.
They speak in glowing terms of the
!, pleasant treatment received at the
. hands of our people who have hOnOred
, them with visits, and wish to return
, their kindest thanks for the same.
