The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1896-12-23

Happy is the Franklin NeCs man,
and well be may be. Hear him: 1t is
pleasure to the masculine patron of
amusement these days to notice that the
practice of removing their high hats dur
ing the performance is comins more and
more into vogue among the ladies. Men
who have recently attended the Opera
House have spoken gratefully of the
change. Too long have they strained
their necks i'm the vain endeavor to get
clear view of the stage through the
plumes and turrets on beauty's head.
It's not only an act of consideration and
courtesy, but is strictly in good form for
lady to take down her towering head
gear in the theatre and lecture room.
Mrs. Wolf, wife of Andrew Wolf,
whose farm is situated in Tionesta town
ship, near VOLTS Corners, died of diph
iberia on Wednesday morning Of last
week. She was aged about 3s years, and
besides the husband is survived by eight
children. She had been i'll but a few
days, and il is thought death was fastened
by the loss OF vitality expended in nurs-
ing others of the family, who were down
with the dread disease, IL being impossi
BILE to secure assistance, owing to the ma
ture of the malady. The bereaved hus-
band and family have the sympathy ofall
in their severe af1liction. Five of the chill
dren have been down with the disease,
but at last accounts all were improving.
The st. Louis Globe Democrdt-Tues-
day and Fridsy-Eight pages each issue
| Sixteen pages every week-only one
dollar year, is unquestionably the big
gest and cheapest national news journal
PUBLISHED in the United States. Strictly
Republican in politics, it still gives all
the news, and gives it at least three days
earlier than can be had from any weekly
paper published any where. It is indis-
pensable to the farmer, merchant or pro-
| fessional man who desires to keep
promptly and thoroughly posted, but has
not the time to read large daily paper ;
while its great variety of we'll selected
reading matter makes it invalua-
BILE as home and family paper. Re-
member the price, only one dollar year.
Sample copies free. Address, Globe
Printing Co., st. Louis, Mo.

vorably known to our townspeople as a
former popular teacher in our public

be received with much pleasure by the
many friends of both these popular young

that could be thought of. 1t is a copy O

alists and writers, j. j. McLaurin. Th
work contains over four hundred page
of. intensely interesting matter relating
to the earlier history of the oil business

for no matter where he opens its page
for a mere peep, he is sure TO forget al
| other work and find himself nheels owe
head" in the work of trying to devou
the whole book at once. The illustra
tions and portraits are profuse and very
lifelike. A copy can be had by address

we very heartily thank Mr.. McLauriI
for his valuable gift.
