To those who would enjoy a really
rich musical treat, we would say, go
and hear the famous New Orleans
University Singers, at the School Hall

size of Tionesta is favored with a per.
formance as meritorious as this will
be, and it should be we'll ~patronized.

Charlie was given a royal send.off by
his friends in Brookville, where he and
his better. half are deservedly popular,
and if there is any rice or old shoes
left in the place it lie because his rig
was not large enough to carry them
away. The REPUBLICAN joins in ex.

Mr.. J. II. Robertson, who left
here about four weeks ago for Wash.
ington State, intending to embark in
business, returned last week, fully sat.
isied that the chances for a man of
moderate means were a half better in
Forest county than in that section of
fair wages and very high prices. He
didn't propose to remain there long
enough to spend all his funds, either,
and will once more settle in business
in this county, which we are glad to
know, and welcome him back.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Walter, 10
company with Charles and his wife,

of his life 10 that State and liked it,
but he found it "not good for man to
be alone" aud so came back to Forest
county and took unto himself one of
her charming young daughters to
share his fortunes on the distant Pa
cific slopes. Good luck, good health
aud much happiness go with them, is
the wish Of all their acquaintance

Senatorial and Judicial appor-
tionment bills have been introduced
in the legislature, but as both are by
Democrats they will not pass in their
present form. The Senatorial bill puts

county. The Judicial bill leaves US
where we are, with Warren, also q
very satisfactory condition. Whatever
changes may be made in these bills it
is hoped the arrangement of these two
districts will remain as now proposed.

The death of Whitman S. Davis,
a brief sketch of whose life is furnish.
ed by a friend of the family, will be a
sad surprise to very many in this
county, where he was so we'll and ia.
vorably known. A private note from
his bereaved widow, written on the
day of his death, was received by US
on Friday last, two days after the flu.
