Buciau Shaw came homo few days
ago from the pine woods at Mayburg,
where he was working. Lucian seems to
be quite unlucky as a lumberman, as his
misfortune in cutting one of his great
toes will cause him to lay off week or
two.
Henry Gioce received a telegram on
Tuesday that his father, who resides at
Shippenville, was very sick, and that if
Henry wanted to see him alive to come
Immediately. Mr.. Groce went down and
found his father, who is an octigenarian,
feeling as well as he could possibly feel
for one of his age, and that instead of be-
ing sick it was a sons child that was on
the sick list.
With what little water the rain made
in the creek and the assistance of a pond
fresh from Fools creek, Jim Cooper
started three or four creek RATS on Thurs
day. The water proved too low, and the
RATS were stranded on the Mayburg rip
pie, but on the next day larger bracket
was turned loose and the RATS started
and were run without incident to Ne.
braska, where they were left.
The first shipment of leather over the
Tionesta Creek r. r. was made on Fri
day. The car ran off the track at New
town, but was easily put on again. The
engine has been up every day, for the
past week, bringing up bark and hides
and taking back leather.
The tools have been fished out of the
Hurd 81 Davenport well, and the sand
will be struck about Tuesday. The own
ers look for good well and if it does not
flow it will be rugged up for a pumper.
Several of the citizens are striving to Sc
cure the job of pumping should the well
require it. The drilling in of the well is
looked for with interest and should il
prove good flowing well Kellettville
will enjoy little oil boom.
Mr.. Hennings was down from Ball
town the other day and gave notice that
their gas would be shut off after January
lst.
The K. D. T. NJ. announces that they
will give gradd mask ball on Dec. 25th,
1894. Proper & Myers hall has been
rented and good music and good order

getting masks ready, so boys don't fail
to ask all the girls, they are sure to go.
DIR. L. A. Barber has sold his fine res
idence TO Harry B. Dotterer who moved
in last week. Harry had formerly
bought Adam Frederick's house, but
gave up the deal for the Doctors stately
residence DR.. Barber has closed out his
practice here and sold his drugs, and for
the present will remain in Pleasantville,
not having any location looked up.
E. N. Decker of Whig Hill is laid up
with severe cold.

assessment of Kingsley twp.
All schools in this Twp. have closed
until January 2, 1895.
j. r. and G. w. Osgood have purchas-
ed the pine and hardwood timber on the
Critchalow farm on Whig Hill. They in
tend putting in the stock to the miil-seat
at the Whig Hill road, where they may
erect saw-mill next summer.
The new mill recently built back of

hardwood bill stuff.
To all readers of the REPUBLICAN we
extend.a Christmas greeting. May all en-
joy Happy New Year and with the be-
ginning of the new year let us turn over
new leaf, and hope that as the year
grows older the times will grow much
better, at least these are the sentiments of
WILL WALKS.
