-Children's Day was very prettily OBJ
served at the M. E. Church last Sabbath

GRATED with evergreens and flowers, and
the music and other exercises were
greatly enjoyed by the large congrega-
ton in attendance.

The races scheduled at Rialto Park
on the Fourth will be the best ever given
in Tionesta. Some of the best bicycle
riders, some of the swiftest horses and
some of the liveliest sprinters are al

look at.
The entertainment given by Miss
Green and young ladies of Tionesta, at
the Court House last Friday evening,
was a very pretty and pleasing one, and
while the audience was fair it should
have been doubly as large. The per-
formance of all showed careful training,
and every part was we'll taken.
--Amsler is fully prepared for the
Fourth with a big stock of everything
needful on that day. His display of fire
works is extra fine, and his stock of sea-
sonable fruits, vegetables, soft drinks,
etc, is up to date. You can't go amiss if
you drop into his store. Youi wants will
be supplied at the lowest figures.

out alive.
Henry Shoemaker has left the prize
hens egg at the REPUBLICAN Office. 1t
measures 8 inches around the long way,
and it takes 6l inches to span the waist.
This is not mere egg freak, laid once in
the hens lifetime, but an every day oc-
currence with that particular hen, and
has been during the past season. If the
record can be beaten we'd like to hear of
it.

Prof. II. L. Miller of Marienville
was down yesterday interviewing our
school board on the question of the pur-
chase of some furniture for the new
room TO be added the coming term. Mr..
Miller represents firm which turns out
very superior article of furniture, and
boards throughout the county can do nc
better than invest in his goods when in
need.
Uncle Benjamin May, now past 81
years of age, drove over and visited old
friends in the vicinity of PleasantvillC
Monday, where he spent the day very
pleasantly, returning in the evening
Mr. May is our oldest citizen by several
years, yet is still hale and active, taking
a lively interest in all affairs tending tC
the welfare of the community in which
he has spent so many years of his life.
We regret to learn of the serious i'll
ness, from blood poison, of an old anC
esteemed friend, Mr.. Jacob 1. Range, o
Stewarts Run. He met with an acciden
resulting in the loss of one of his fingers
some time ago, and now it is thought th'
entire hand will have to be amputated
and it is doubtful whether in his presen
state of health he will be able to with
stand the shock. Advanced aged is alsc
a serious hindrance to his recovery.
