A Real Artist.

"A prophet is not without, honor save
in his own country" was uttered over
eighteen centuries ago, and to-day it has
its significance with the human race. A
man may be a silvery-tongued orator, or
skilled practitioner, a genius Of the
highest grade, but his ability will not be
fully appreciated at the place where he
was born and reared. The same is true
Of women. No matter what talent a
woman may possess, whether she can
sing like a nightingale, or WELD poetic
pen, or handle the artists brush skill
fully, they are not always valued at their
true worth by those who have been
acquainted with them from their youth.
Reynoldsville has real live artist
genius in the person OF Miss Ella Il.
Seeley, daughter Of Ed. ID. Seeley, the
hardware man, OF whom we should feel
proud. Miss Ella has been producing
pictures for public view for several
years. Last fall she went to Pittsburgh
where she remained all winter under the
instruction Of skilled artist. The
young lady has a number of pictures at
her home that speak plainly OF her abil-
ity. She can do work in water color,
oil or crayon. Those who see the work
done by this young lady-who, II she
continues to develop the artist talent, is
destined to become famous-will agree
with us in the statement that she has
the real artist talent.

A Busy Man.

DR.. j. A. Burgoon, formerly of Reyn-
oldsville, now the noted specialist of
Allegheny City, passed through on
mail Saturday afternoon on his way
home, after a few days of angling sport
east of Sabula. The doctor had his
left hand neatly bandaged in white
linen because it had been directly in
front Of sky rocket on the Fourth.
DR.. Burgoon spends an immense amount
of money annually in advertising, and
the sheckels are rolling into his Golfer
continually.

Through a Bridge.

Henry Priester had quite an exciting
time near Collins mill Monday evening
with his young team of horses. He was
on his way home about dusk and got on
the wrong road and when driving over
an old bridge, eight or nine feet high,
the planks gave way under the horses.
Some men with lantern were soon on
hand to assist Mr.. Priester. After con-
siderable hard work the horses were ex-
tricated from their perilous position.
They were scratched up some but not
otherwise injured.

Death of a Pancoast Man.

William Delmar, who has lived at
Pancoast about thirty years, and was we'll
known in Reynoldsville, died on the even
ing OF July 9th, after short illness,
from inflammation of the stomach.
In March, 1891, he was injured in the
stomach by lifting a log, from which he
has been troubled frequently until the
afternoon Of July 4th when he became
dangerously i'll. He rallied and showed
signs of recovering until Wednesday
evening and then died before medical
aid could be had. He was about sixty
years old, and has been widower for
twenty years. Two sons and two daugh-
ters survive him. His remains were
Inferred in the Beechwoods cemetery
Friday afternoon.

Almost Minus a Finger.

Charley Hartman, young son of Ezra
Hartman, the blacksmith, came very
nearly amputating the index finger on
his left hand last Friday afternoon
with an axe. He was carelessly hand
ling the sharp tool and it accidently
came down upon his finger and came
within sixteenth of an inch OF severing
the member from the hand. Drs. Neale
and Reynolds pasted the finger on and
think they can persuade it to again
become attached to the hand. When
dressing the wound the lads thumb was
in the doctors way and some one told
him to stick it in his pocket. The boy,
who was bravely undergoing the surgi-
cal operation, said, 'cut it off . II is in
your way"

Fire Alarm Given.

At four o'clock last Friday afternoon
there were few people to be seen on
Main street, but about 40 an alarm of
fire was given and in minute the
street was filled with people. The
house next to the Presbyterian church,
occupied by John Yarworth, had
caught fire on the roof from defective
flue. II was discovered in time that a
few buckets of water, quickly applied by
DR.. Bowser, Charles Ritzie and several
others who were nearby, extinguished
the flames. The fire company responded
promptly. The hose cart was hitched
on to Schultze's delivery wagon and his
bay nags made the dust fly. There is a
satisfaction in having as good fire pro-
lection rs Reynoldsville can boast Of

Bright Prospects.

Reynoldsville is now the largest, most
prosperous, the best and the leading
town Of Jefferson county, but II present
indications are not false inside Of year
she will outstride her present flourish
ing condition. The business men of the
place need have no timidity In making
improvements. The town Is solid and
the business is bound TO increase. Place
your advertisements in the papers Of
your town, as the business men Of other
towns do and show TO outsiders that you
are alive. There Is not town within a
radius Of a hundred miles of Reynolds
vile that its business men do as small
amount OF advertising as is done in our
town. We have a number OF business
men who appreciate and know the value
Of printers ink, while there are others
who do not advertise at all. DO you
think the business men Of other towns
advertise merely to help the newspapers
along? No. They realize by increased
business that IL pays TO tell the people
what they have TO sell. Strangers often
size up town by the amount Of adver-
tising found in the home paper. Come,
experiment for year and you will be
surprised at the return for the money
invested in printers ink.

New Engines.


The b., II. & =. railroad has placed
an order for nine engines with the
Brooks Locomotive works. They are
to be ready for delivery in September
and some of them will be used on the
Clearfeld and Mahoning division. One
thousand new cars will also be added to
the equipment; 800 are being built by
the jackson & Woodin Manufacturing
company, 400 by the Berwick Manufac-
turing company and 100 by the Buffalo
Car company.

The Big Guns.

A special train from the b., II. q p.

road, was in Reynoldsville last Wednes-
day night: President A. G. Yates; Geo.
Il. Merchant, the presidents assistant;
Chief Engineer W.E.Hoyt, and General
Superintendent Geo.W Bartlett. These
gentlemen were out on an inspecting
tour. They visited the twenty mile
loop being built around the Kinzua,
upon which over thousand men are
now at work. II is expected that the
extension will be completed about the
first of September. They were also
making Investigations on the new line
from Dubois to Clearfeld. Inside of a
year trains will be running from Reyn-
oldsville to Philadelphia via Clearfeld.

lBrockwayvlllc Record.1
On Wednesday two drunken hoodlums
promenaded the streets making great
deal of noise and spelling for fight.
Nearly every one they encountered
came in for volley of abusive language.
The constable was away, and the hood
lums proceeded along their course
unmolested. Finally they brought up
at Joseph Strauss store, where their
conduct became unbearable. Mr.Strauss
resented it in such vigorous manner
that after one of the hoodlums had
adjusted his torn clothing, wiped the
blood of his face and brushed the dirt
from the back of his coat, the pair con-
cluded that the Brockwayville residents
could wake up when they had occasion
to, and become peaceable again. They
had all the fight they wanted that
morning.

The corner stone Of the st. Peters
Evangelical Luthern church, near Noah
Strouse's, in the Paradise Settlement,
was laid with appropriate ceremonies
last Sunday morning. When the hour
for services arrived the church was
packed, the seating capacity being
inadequate TO accommodate the large
number Of people who were present.
Rev. ]. J. Kerr, of Brookville preached
an able sermon, taking for his text the
fourth chapter and sixth verse OF Nehe-
miah: $50 built we the wall; and all
the wall was joined together unto the
half thereof: for the people had mind
to work" He also preached to large
congregation in the evening. A basket
collection was taken at the morning
services which amounted to something
over $500. This new church will be
about 40x60 feet, brick cased, and will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000. 90.
When completed it will be very pretty
place for the Lutheran congregation to
worship in, and will be credit to the
people Of that section

A Sham Hatchet.

Miss Nellie, daughter Of S. r. Dough-
erty, was cutting wood on chair last
Monday at noon and the hatchet missed
the wood and Nellie was surprised to
discover that the index finger on her
left hand had to be picked up in two
pieces, or so near to IL that II is hardly
worth mentioning. The girl could
hardly believe her own eyes, feeling
had nothing TO do with it just then.
When the blood commenced to flow
freely she comprehended the real facts.
Medical skill was summoned immedi-
ately and everything possible was done
to save the finger, but the doctors were
unable to say whether they could save
IL or not. Nellie is very much inter-
ested in her music lessons, but the
accident will necessitate vacation for
the young player and short rest for
her piano.

Result of Bug Juice.
IDuBois Express.l


A Ridgwayite of some twenty sum-
mers while on his way out from Reyn-
oldsville to see his mother, and being
somewhat overcome by reasons of the
reaching and staying qualities of the
bug juice taken in on the 4th, lay down
in fence corner to rest. When he
awoke the bran new shoes he had on
when he laid up for repairs were gone.
He had also been relieved of all the spot
cash he possessed, and had the proud
satisfaction of hoofing the homestretch
in his bare feet. In future the young
man will not monkey with the wine
cup, when he goes to see his mother on
July 4th.

SCHOOL NOTES.

There is n considerable amount of
pleasant rivalry among the teachers
OF our schools, as we'll US among the
pupils of the different rooms, to secure
the best percentage of attendance each
week. 1t is seldom that any school
falls below 81 or 9S per cent, aud that
beats this whole section of country by
quite margin. 1t often happens that
schools have 100 per cent. Miss
Wetzel's school had 100 last week, and
she gave the pupils beautiful badges of
ribbon upon which was printed the
word attendance" 1t made them
quite proud, and they are to be COM
mended, with their excellent teacher,
for their good attendance. We are
ready to notice each school that gets
100, and hope we may have to "notice,
all.

Candidates for councilmen are not
looming up very rapidly. The COW
business has been pretty well settled,
the sidewalks are nearly all repaired,
fire hose been purchased, and there is
nothing to fight about except the
street lamps and as nobody can see the
lights only in the afternoon, there is
scarcely any use quarreling about them
and so nobody cares to be on the coun-
Gil this year, but it is hoped that some-
body will be induced to sacrifice their
happiness sufficiently to accept the
nomination, as it is possible another B.
b. Moore may loom up again and make
it quite interesting to be council

The Newcomer proposition to furnish
water works for the town OF Bowling
Green was voted down at the special
election held for that purpose. We
do not believe this to be an indication
that the people of the hub do not
desire water works, or that they will
let the matter drop at this stage of the
game, but on the contrary it shows
that they want WATER instead of wind
and will contract only with those who
are ready to furnish the desired stuff,
instead OF giving a valuable franchise
to some, one to speculate on. The
people of tho Green have had their
eye teeth cut for some time.

GOOD BUSINESS RECORD.
The Citizens Bank of Perrysburg and Its
Importance to the People.

The Citizens Bank of Perrysburg and Its
Importance to the People.
Among the many business and other
institutions which our town has rea-
son to regard with commendable
pride, none are more important to the
welfare of the business of the place.
than is our Citizens Bank.
Although the efficient Cashier, Mr..
N. l.. Hanson, makes but little noise, we
have had reason to observe that this
institution is rapidly becoming recog-
nized and given credit for it's true
worth.
In order that we might learn some of
the inside facts connected with the
business we took occasi IN to call upon
Mr.. Hanson and make some inquiries
regarding the institution, the length
OF time he had been doing business,
and If he had sustained many
losses, or been victimized by
sharpers, etc., and we will give our
readers portion of what we learned.
Mr.. Hanson has been in the banking
business here for twenty years, and
during this time has personally, never
bought, nor loaned money on, a bad
note, or one that has been the occasion
OF any loss whatever, and in the same
time he has issued, bought and sold,
exchanges, drafts, etc., to the amount
OF from eight to ten million dollars, on
all of which the bank has never lost
cent. This: we consider, shows Mr..
Hanson to be u wonderfully careful
business man.
With visions of old and long due SUBJ
scription accounts and notes which are
not worth the paper they are written
on, we ventured to inquire If
many old notes and securities which
were worthless did not accumulate.
mo, said Mr.. HI. ''we have not in our
assets, an old note or securities of any
kind waiting to be charged off to profit
and loss" He also stated that the bank
had had their share of experience with
confidence men and forgers, several
attempts by this fraternity, having
been made to obtain money from the
bank unlawfully, among them, the
now famous Haskell, but in no case has
the bank suffered the loss of dollar
by this class of people.
La one case a draft issued by the
Citizens bank for $7.15 was raised to
$IO.l5, and the bank in Canada which
cashed it for the crook, lost the whole
a mount by neglecting the ordinary
rlles of business which have go verned
this bank. The Citizens bank lost
nothing.
OF course such record necessarily
implies extreme care and rigid scrutiny
as well as a fair judgment of human
nature, and while some think these
methods too rigid, the depositors,
who find in them their greatest security,
see no reason for complaint, neither
have any seeking accommodation
within the banks rules, who enjoyed
the confidence of their neighbors and
friends, had occasion for it.
This record is one to be proud of.
and we believe Cashier Hanson can
safely challenge any similar record
covering so many years, in tho same
business, and the JOURNAL takes great
pride in calling attention to u Perrys-
burg institution that can show SO ex-
cellent a record.
