goods are going rapidly Ind your chance
for bargain will be very small if you
do not improve the opportunity imme-
diately.

February IL is the anniversary of the
birth of Lincoln and great preparations
are being made throughout the country
to celebrate the event. There is no man

keep his name in patriotic remem brance.

take him to get tired of holding some one
else's sister who weighs I25 pounds p

many strange faces.-PLeaSaRtUitle Rec.

baritone singer who was so warmly re-
ceived by our citizens during institute

w. A. Fisher, who for some time has
been in the jewelry business in Tionesta

located here has returned and will be

Indiana county boasts of having only
two prisoners in the cou nty jail. That's
nothing. 1t has been so long since there
has been prisoner in the Forest county
Jail that the talk of erecting a new jail in
the spring has all blown over and there
is some talk of packing the present build
ing full of ice. No use OF a Jail in
county which is populated with such law
