Will S. Clark, eldest son Of Capt.
Clark of Tionesta township, and who
has been a resident of Kansas for the
past ten years, arrived in Tionesta
with his family on Monday of this
week, and will make Forest county

Pennsylvania good enough for him,
although many of the features of
Kansas life were good as need be. We
welcome him back.

guess Mr.. Hall averages up all right,
but his own county is split square in
two against him, and the balance Of

by the Republicans is all that is nec-
essary to overcome the rapidly waning
majority in the 38th Senatorial district
