Ed. Gillespie of whig Hill was down
yesterday. He says Mrs. Gillespie's in
juries, sustained in the runaway accident |
reported by our Kellettville correspon-
dent last week, are more serious than |
was at first thought and that her recov-
cry thus far has been distressingly slow. |
Quite number of the young folk of
this place, members of the Christian En-
deavor society, attended a meeting of the
local union held in Oil City last Friday !
evening. Nearly 400 delegates, repre-
senting fifteen societies were present, and
were elegantly entertained by the home
societies after the meeting.
About a month ago Albert Beggs
went to Butler county to work in the oil
field, and on Tuesday, Mrs. Beggs went
with the household goods to join her hus-
band. They will reside at Mars, Butler
county, where AL. has good job. Sorry
TO loose such good citizens from our
town, but hope Tlonestas loss may be
their gein.
The cause of the death of Edward
Morgan, at Chicago, briefly mentioned
in last weeks issue, was typhoid fever,
from which he had been sick about five
weeks. He leaves a wife and two chill
dren, the youngest about two months
old. The funeral took place on Tuesday
of last week, five former Tionesta gentle
men acting as pall-bearers.
The reports go to show that large
proportion of the big corn crop will be
fed 10 cattle and hogs, instead of being
sold at unremunerative prices. This is
truo policy for the farmers, and they
cannot fail to profit by it. Agriculture
is poor business only when the pro-
ducer is obliged to market his surplus at
a time and in a way dictated by the spec
ulator.

Odd," and is said to fill long-felt want.
This game is specially adapted to worn
pavements or uneven places-any place
where there are numerous cracks or
crannies. Each of these cracks or de-
pressions is given number. The start
is made from base, and wherever the
marble lodges it counts that number
The boy who first scores 40 is the win
ner.
1t is announced that the Christian

For more than week past our ex-
