Miss Carrie, daughter of Mr.. and |
Mrs. o. f. Landers of Neilltown, this |
county, died at her home on Thursday of
last week, of typhoid and brain fever,
having been ill less than two weeks. |
The young lady was aged nearly eighteen |
years, and was one of the most popular |
and highly esteemed in the community |
in which she was reared, and the sympa-
thy felt for the bereaved ones is general
and sincere. Funeral services were held
on Saturday, the interment taking place
in the Neilltown cemetery.

McCann from his home at Newmansville,
one of his horses fell backward into the
well, distance of 25 feet. The well con-
tanned two or three feet of water. Four
or five men from the neighborhood came
to the rescne, built derrick attached
pulley TO it, lowered rope and tied it
to the horse, and then James Turk hitch
ed his big sorrels to the other end of the
rope and pulled the unfortunate horse
out. In few minutes the horse was eat
| ing grass, very little the worse for his es-
capade.
One of the prettiest works of the
printers art that has reached our sane
tum for many day is the illustrated In
dustrlal Edition of the Ridgway AdVo-
cate. Inside the covers it contains A
pages of beautifully printed matter, half
tone portraits of the towns prominent
citizens, and illustrations showing up the
| industrial and social features of that
thoroughly wide-awake little city to ex-
cellent advantage. The Advocate is to
be congratulated on its enterprise in put
ting before its readers such a handsome
souvenir, commendable alike to itself
and the town it represents.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. David E.
Platner of Hickory township, was sad
dened by the taking off Of their bright
little seven-year-old daughter, Floy, on
Saturday night last. The cause of the
little sufferers death was very strange
one. About four weeks ago, while at
play, she accidentally swallowed, or,
rather, inhaled, a timothy head about q
inches in length. This found its way in-
to the right lung, and there lodged and
formed an abscess, terminating in the
childs death as above stated. The fu-
neral services were held on Monday.
The heartbroken parents have the sincere
sympathy of the entire neighborhood in
their sad bereavement.
-Tionesta bids most cordial welcome
to its honored guests, the sold boys" of
Co. G., SD Reg't, who hold their second
annual reunion here to-day. Thirty
five years ago this month, then all young,
vigorous and full of loyalty and patriot
ism, these men departed from Tionesta
for the scenes of carnage and strife.
Many of the old company never came
back, and those who were fortunate
enough to return are now bent with age,
and all suffering more or less from the
effects of that terrible conflict. A royal
welcome, we say, to one and all of the
"Tionesta Rangers" and may their
meeting again in this reunion be one of
greatest pleasure, marred only by the
absence of the brave boys who have an
swered the final troll call"
The following complimentary men
ton of Forest county appears in the
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette of recent
date; Because there is a demand for an
enlargement of the Allegheny county
Jail it does not follow that the people of
Allegheny county are more wicked than
they were at the time the Jail was built.
AS pointed out by the warden, there has
been great increase in population since
that time. Still it would be more graft
flying if report of a decrease of crime
were in order in spite of the increase in
population, and to contemplate the near
er approach of conditions like those
which prevail up in Forest county, with
more frequency, seemingly, than in any
other county in the state. Up there,
from time to time, the jurors drawn are
notified not to appear, for the reason that
the docket is clean and there is nothing
for them TO do.
