the seasons come round, and while too
far advanced in years to handle an oar,
he still enjoys the voyage.

ful compliment to very efficient officer
who has served Uncle Sam during the
past four years: The retirement of Post
master H. II. Evans is generally regret
ted by the people OF Tidioue and vicinity.
He hasanade an attentive and obliging
official, careful Of the public's wants, and
the Tidioute postoffice stands high in
merit and estimation Of the government
Inspectors. If the new p. NJ, w. r.
Dawson, does as we'll, nobody will COM
plain.

The largest raft, so said by old lum-
bermen, ever run out from the upper
Tionesta creek was piloted down one
day last week by Stephen Cooper, from
the mouth Of Fools creek. 1t contained
nearly 10000 feet Of lumber, and top
loaded with several thousand feet of boat
siding; was "A feet wide and % courses
deep. Two of Balltown's brave young
ladies, Misses Gertie Griffin and Nellie
Jackson, took passage on the raft, and
rode over all the dams along. the creek,
until Nebraska was reached, when the
pilots better judgment prevailed upon
them to leave the craft, and twas well
they did, for in passing under the newly
erected bridge below the mill some of the
"stagging' was knocked down and al
most completely covered the raft. This
was too much for the forward hands and
theyjumped off to save themselves, and
pilot Cooper was left to manage things
from that on. .I
The rafting season on Tionesta creek
is already about over for this year. Time
was when the breaking up of the winter
ice marked the beginning OF the rafting
business and the end came only when the
summers sun licked up the waters and
made running impossible. But those
were the halcyon days of the numbering
industry along the "Tionesta," and
they'll never come again at least not as
any one now on the sod knows of. Twen-
ty board and Is timber RATS is the out.
put from Salmon creek this year, whilC
further up the creek, Cooper Bros, ant
White & Co. have each a number o
pieces out. Flynn & Weller cut
out a small Allegheny" on the
Whiteman & Bauer mill above Newtown
and are now on the way to market will
it. So we say, the "rsfting" is all ovel
with this season. There are three princi
pal reasons for this shortness of season
Scarcity of timber, shipment by rail, anC
the building OF boats and barges. Til
sad TO reflect that the first of these rea
sons should exist, but that don't help thu
matter any. Facts are facts no matte
p how stubborn.
Any sudden change in the condition
of the atmosphere is certain TO bring it
han vest of coughs and colds. These.
suffered 10 run on are likely to terminate
in consumption but they may be readi
ly cured by DIR. Bulls Cough Syrup.
