Here's a note recently issued by hy-
gienic authority: One of the most inn
portant rules for the preservation of fa-
cial beauty is that one should go to sleep
smiling, % at least placid-looking. The
person who goes to sleep with anxious or
angry wrinkles on her forehead and
about her mouth keeps them there while
she is asleep, and they soon become in.
eradicable. Good wives will please take
notice.
The death of Andrew Pollock, an old
time resident of this place, occurred at

ed appearing in the list of deaths. Mr..
Pollock resided here upward of 80 years
ago, and had large circle of friends and
a"quaintances, many of whom are still
living and will be surprised TO learn of
his demise.
The past two weeks have been very
busy ones for the lumbermen along the
Clarion river. From Clarington to
Spring Creek over five hundred teams
have been busy drawing timber, and
never in the history of numbering has
there been so much timber moved on so
little snow. All the largest jobs are over
half through. and ten days more hauling
will suffice to haul every foot to the river.
The hemlock and oak output is about the
same as last year, while the pine will be
increased considerably, on account Of the
operations on the Hays tract.-BrookvilIe

For the second time this winter the
ice bridge, which spanned the river for
many miles, has gone out. Its passage
was attended with little damage any,
where, except at Oil City, where the
false tressel under the new A. V. rail-
road bridge was swept away leaving the
bridge in an impossible condition for
trains for the time being, and uecessita-
ting the transfer of passengers. All the
ice houses of the town were we'll filled
before the breakup, and so no one but
the skate boy is much concerned about
the further development of the ice crop
this winter.

been seriously under the weather for
some weeks, and will go to the city and
consult specialist as to the disease that
is troubling him.-The Salmon Creek
Oil Co. completed their test well west OF
town Tuesday and struck an oil sand and
a very little oil. The sand is very
close and hard oil sand, and the well will
be shot in the hope of string out more
| oil. This is the second well drilled in
that locality, and oil was found in both OF
them. Some of these times hole will
be put down in the right location and we
will then have an oil field right here at
home.
