played ball with the Snydersburg club
on the latter's grounds. The official

game will be played here on the 25th,
when good game may be looked for.

"A man with a double-ended foun-
tain pen is visiting farmers in parts of
Western Pennsylvania. He offers har-
vesting and other farming machinery at
very low rates, asking the farmer to sign
an agreement to receive and pay for it
when delivered if satisfactory. The
agreement is written with the fading end
of the fountain pen and the name signed
with the indelible end. The agreement
fades off in a day or so and a note is
written above the signature instead.
Farmers be on the lookout for the slip

| The friends of Mrs. j. f. Overlander
will be pleased to learn that she is in a
fair way to recovery from the serious ILL
ness from which she has been suffering
for several months past A very critical
| operation was performed on Monday of
last week, in the removal of a cancerous
| growth, and she has rallied so well from
the shock that her physicians have every
hope of her complete recovery. DIR. Rus
sell of Springfield, Ohio, a specialist in
his line, performed the surgery, assisted
! by DR.. Lupher of Pleasantville, and Drs.
Morrow, Bowman, and Doutt, of this
place.
The celebration of the Fourth in
Tionesta, as in all other towns of this
| section, was spoiled by rain. A large
crowd had gathered to witness the racing
events at Rialto Park, but at noon
| heavy rain set in and continued till
nearly o'clock, and so all sports were
declared of. The crowd remained a
greater portion of the afternoon, how
ever, and enjoyed itself as best it could.
The band boys fulfilled their part by
discoursing good music, and helped Won
derfully to dispel the gloom of the disap-
pointed ones. We understand the Park
association will bill another set of races
for Saturday, July 25th. While the
rain spoiled the festivities of the 9TH, it
did an inestimable amount of good to
growing crops, which was far better.
The bicycle road race gotten up by
Kirchartz Bros, covering the distance
| from Tionesta to Nebraska aud return,
! just Is miles, was quite an interesting
one on the Sd inst. There were three
contestants, Ed. Bumgardner of the bor-
ough, who was given five minutes the
start, Clark Morgan, also of the borough,
and Sammy Carson of West Hickory,
both of whom started from the scratch.
The two latter crossed the score at the
finish almost neck and neck, with Nor
! gan about five feet in the lead, making
the remarkably good time, rough roads
considered, of 52:32 80, Carson's time
being given at 53;39, or two-fifths more.
Bumgardners time was l hour and 10
minutes, but he disabled his bike and
came in on a borrowed wheel. Each
contestant got nice prize, the silver
medal going TO Morgan.
TO an Endeavorer, there is no greater
organization in the world than the United
Society of Christian Endeavor, which has
just closed its 10th annual convention in
our Capital city. Surely no other Chris
tian organization is more widespread and
far-reaching, and no other convention
has done more for the evangelization of
the world as has the one just closed,
where many thousands of young people
