i Forest fires are raging in many sec
tions of this State, our county not bein
o exempt from the destructive elements
Between the two Coon creeks in Gree
township fire got out in an old slashinl
last Sabbath, and it took about all tn
and Fox Creek to control it and save tn
, valuable property of Collins a Co. q
that neighborhood. The hill. opposit
Tionesta was a blaze Of fire on Saturda
. night and Sunday, and there is still
much of it back farther, the fire havin
spread very rapidly. The woods are i
the most favorable condition at this tim
for the spread Of fires, and every on
20 should exercise the greatest care Will
passing through them with anything of
combustible nature. The penalty fo
either carelessly or negligently causing
a forest fire is quite severe, and it is to b
hoped the law may be strictly obserye
J. especially in such dry weather as We an
now having.
