-Brookston, this county can boast
Of having to Of the youngest election
officers it is possible for any board TO
to have, at its recent election. Messrs.

the late election.
The county commissioners, at
their meeting last Wednesday, rrang
ed a compromise with the Tionesta
Bridge Co. for $4,000. At the trial
in Warren last spring the company
got a verdict for $4,000. The county

IF any Of our readers are in favor
of the establishment at the seat of Gov.
eminent a Road Department, similar

doubtless conclude that departments"
around Washington are getting like
legal holidays, too numerous.
