The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1896-05-27

and has adopted the quarto style of
makeup. The word "Union" has
been dropped from the title of the
paper and the name of the city,
"KittanniDg" substituted. 1t is
pleasant to note this evidence of pros.
perity in our staunch old neighbor.
Notice the ads. of Tionesta's new
National Banks in this issue There
no rerson why these two institutions
should not have the liberal patronage
of the people of Forest county, for
they are both doing business on safe
and honorable banking principles and
will give their customers all the ben
efits consistent Herewith. Patronize
home institutions.
Work on the new road above
Tubbs Run is progressing favorahly,
with a crew of about dozen men,
three teams being also kept busy
most of the time. 1t is expected to
have the lower end, about 100 rods,
ready for travel this week, and as
this is much the most difficult part of
the road to build the upper section
will be carried rapidly through to
completion.
Albert Fox, ESQ.,, a brother of
the late Charles j. Fox, of Foxcreek,
this county, died at his home in
Frewsburg, N. Y, on Monday of last
week. When a young man, he was
convinced that Spiritualism is true
while attending the seances conduc
ted by the Fox sisters 10 their home,
and remained strong advocate of
that belief till his death. 1t may be
interesting to note that his father was
a ship builder, and built the boat
used by Perry in his victory on Lake
Erie.
Next Saturday will be Memorial
Day, when comrades and people will
gather at the cemeteries to commem.
crate their love and esteem for the
brave boys who wore the Union blue,
and have since answered to the final
roll.call. A complete program of the
exercises of Stow Post is published
this week and will be carried out to
the letter. Business in the town will
no doubt be practically suspended
during the greater portion of the day,
and there will doubtless be a large
attendance at the ceremonies.
