-Liveryman S. S. Garfield was in
Olean, N. Y, on Saturday negotiating
the sale of his famous pacing horse,
Bellsorry. This horse is a flyer and has
a record that is good one, and we would
be sorry to see him leave the town.
Notices of township caucuses appear
in this issues and all patriotic Republi-

liable men are nominated for the offices
10 be filled, as it is of great interest to tho
tax payer to have the home government
properly conducted. Turn out.
The revival meetings being conduct
ed at Pleasantville by Rev. +. E. Glass,
assisted by Miss Ingraham, are still pro-
crossing and there seems to be no let up
in the interest of the people. Quite a
large delegation of Tionesta people went
over TO the meetings last Sunday.

time past.

"A good story is told on deacon in
neighboring town. A collection for mis-
sions had been taken up and as the dea-
con was counting the pennies from the
hat, he counted as follows "Seven, eight,
nine, ten, Jack, queen, king, ace" The
church decided that all are liable to mis-
takes and the deacon was reinstated.
1t is reported that NJ. Cox has struck
a fair producer on Bear Creek and we
hepe the report is true. Mr.. Cox has
done considerable wildcatting in that
vicinity but has met with poor success,
and we would be pleased to learn that he
| has at last succeeded in finding pro-
ductive pool of the precious petroleum.

The Oil City Derrick of Monday con-
tains "write up" of some of the promi-
nent business men and firms of Tionesta.
The article is very nicely gotten up,
what there is of it, but we should be very
sorry to have the outside world get un-
der the impression that all of the good
citizens and industries of the town are
mentioned in that article. Far from it.
According to the Oil City Derrick S
oil report for December, $50 new wells
were completed in the Pennsylvania oil
fields, and 900 new rigs, making an in
crease of - wells completed and l74s
barrels new production. The report
shows net decline of 81 in total new
work. We can't see anything in this re-
port that could cause such a vast decrease
in the price of oil as has occurred during
the past month.
Mrs. Emma May Bradish, a resident
of Scranton, places great value on hel
kisses. A young man of that city forci'
bly, kissed her few days ago, and she
went and blabed the whole thing to hel
husband and he got mad about it and
! went and blackened the young mans
eyes. Not satisfied with that, suit has
been commenced in the courts for dam
ages in the sum Of $4,000. Kisses arr
nice, but they are not worth as much ai
that.
