The sucker fishing season is now
thoroughly on, and some fine catches are
being made. To be sure, sucker fishing
isn't just as exciting as it might be, but
i'm the absence of the other kind it fur
nishes considerable amusement and re-
creation after the long winter shut-in,
and when the yield is fair there is no end
Of enjoyment while devouring proper
ly scored, crisply fried sucker at this sea-
son of the year, when the meat is hard
and well favored. Fairly makes ones
mouth water TO write about it.

Our old friend Tom Nicolson is a
candidate for County Treasurer of We
mango county. If his many friends
work as hard for his success as he has
ever been ready to work for the success
of others on the Republican ticket, his
nomination and election ought to be as
sured. Tom has always been an ardent
Republican, and ever ready TO take a
hand for the success of his party. Now,
In being a candidate himself, he will be
able to appreciate such work by his
friends as he has done for others. Success
to you Tom, old boy.
Il. L. Davenport, solicitor for the
Central District Telephone Co., secured
twenty-one contracts while here last
week, enough to warrant his company in
establishing an exchange in Tionesta, and
the work of erecting the line will begin
in short time. Subscribers will be
privileged TO communicate with Oil City,
Titusville and Franklin free of charge,
which be Il matter of great convenience
to many. Mr.. Davenport believes his
company will surely extend its long dis
tance line to Marienville rs soon as wea-
ther is permissible, and this will also be
| free TO subscribers.
In the u. S. District Court, sitting
in Scranton last week, George Brady and
George X. Murray, giving their residence
at Titusville, were convicted of robbing
| the Pleasantville postoffice. The former
was sentenced to the Western Peniton-
tiary for four years; and the latter for
| three years and six months. 1t will be
recalled that early in the winter the
Pleasantville Office was broken into and
robbed of about 1000 pennies. These
two men were found in Cory next day,
stocking up with liquor and rich food,
paying for the same in pennies. A two
cent piece, bearing peculiar marks, was
found on one of them and identified as
beloginging to the stolen stuff.-FFdnk-

The public is cautioned against a
travelling fraud who has already victim
lied people in number of towns in the
state. He claims to be an agent of the
government, and going to the houses OF
the veterans says that the department is
about to give orders for several hundred
thousand blue army shirts. Wishing to
give the wives of the veteran chance to
make little money, the government has
decided to give the shirts out to soldiers
families to make up. When he receives
an order for the shirts the agent looks
over the sewing machine in the house
and finding that the stitch is not just
right offers to change it for a dollar, the
money to be given back when the ma
terial for the shirts is delivered by an as.
