tue receipt OF an lnVation 10 Oe pres
ent at the Siggins reunion which
takes place at Irvineton to day. I'm
doubtedly it will be a notable event,
and if all who are connected either
by blood or marriage should be in
attendance the assemblage will be a
large one, surely.
There's a sidewalk notice in this
paper to which the attention of de.
linquents is respectfully solicited.
Some weeks ago we received a some.
what peremtory request" We we're
sufficiently impressed with its impor.
tance, ard the new sidewalk is right
there. We may therefore be par.
doned if our attitude in this direction
should seem just a triAe important.
The good soaking rains of the
past few days have certainly been
very welcome, though coming rather
late. The great forest fires are all
subdued and all kinds of vegetation
has taken on new life. While grass
is evidently lost for this season, the
pastures, which were about burned
up, will be greatly improved, thus
saving a milk and butter famine. All
nature smiles again.
Services are being held in the
Presbyterian church each evening of
this week. Following are the topics for
the balance of the week: Wednesday

week. The staying qualities of this

known that scarcely any other kind
is now sold in this section, and when
workmanship and material are con.
sidered their prices are below all
others.
Tomorrow is the day set for the
annual reunion of the Northwestern
Association G. A. R., at Meadville.
A large delegation will attend from
this neighborhood, according to the

this section. The w. N. Y. & P.

leave this station at S:42 q. m, re.
turning same day. Fare for round

y Twelve or fifteen barges, and
several fiat bottoms were started from
Nebraska last Saturday, only about
half of which got to the mouth OF the
creek, but all we're afterward brought
out on a pond.hood. Lawrence &
Smearbaugh started two barges, six
sand boats and several "fats" for the
lower markets Monday, and Robin.

for sure running, but the pilots felt
safe in making the start.
