How frequently the term "gents," is
used in salufation on the streets, vet IL is
very poor form. Some go TO tho extent
of claiming it decidedly ill-bred to so
abreviate it. 1t may do for a business
man in his letter although that is doubted.
Use the term gentlemen" apply il
properly and drop the other i'll sounding
name-lfeddUiLIe Tribune. The same
will apply as forcibly to the use of the
word thanks" If you are too busy or
too lazy to say "thank you," better not
use the word at ALL
Last evenings sunset was enc of the
most beautiful ever witnessed in this city
and in spite of the heavy rain storm
which prevailed about that time was wit
messed and admired by hundreds of cit
izens. Heavy banks of clouds were
brightly illuminated by the rays of the
sun and variegated hues of kaleidoscope
brilliancy assited in making a picture
never TO be forgotten by those who saw
it. So bright-hued were its colorings
that telephone message was received
from Tionesta asking if a conflagration
was in progress here. -TTtusUilIe Herald
July %. The sight was gorgeous one
viewed from this valley, appearing like a
vast flame of fire above the horizon.
-"Well, my son." said the Editor OF
the Danville Breeze to his son, who
wanted wheel, "you'n find one in the
front end of that wheclbarrow, and there
is a big pile of coal ashes back of the
house that will have to be moved. The
handle bars are of white ash and are ad-
Unstable, so can get any style of hump on
that suits your fancy. 1t is regulated
largely by the load you put on. The big
ger the load the more you have to hump
yourself BE careful and don't mar the
enamel on the frame, and keep the ball
bearings well oiled so they won't cut in
to the cones. The tire is absolutely
punctureless, so you won't have to take
a pump and repair kit with you. BY the
time you have removed that pile of ashes
think you will have made a century
run--also the perspiration. You'd better
come in to dinner now"
The past wet spell-and we're not
sure that its past yet-has created havoc
with the harvesting of hay, wheat and
rye throughout the western portion of
this State, and extending into consider
able portion of our neighboring States of
New York and Ohio. In this section
many acres of grain and grass have been
practically ruined, the former growing
in the shock and the latter rotting in the
"swath." Coming at a time when the
prospects of an immense crop of both
hay and grain were never more promis-
ing-in fact, assured-haS made discour-
aging work for the farmers, who were
caught by the dampness. Corn, which
has been somewhat backward, has, how
ever, caught up wonderfully, and can
scarcely be said to be much more than
q week behind schedule time at this sea-
son, and with continuation of warm
weather will yield an average crop yet.
"A few days ago G. w. Robinson, on
behalf of Stow Post, wrote Congressman
Arnold in relation to securing from the
Federal Government a couple OF con-
demned cannon to be placed in the Court
House square. He received an answer
last Friday with information that he (Mr.
Arnold) had called at the War Depart
ment and succeeded in getting two 80.
pound Parrot guns, weighing 4,2OC
pounds each. the conditions being that
the freight he paid from New York.
Steps will be Immediately taken to have
these guns shipped and placed in posi-
tion where they will be suitable compan-
ion pieces to the soldiers monument
which sooner or later will adorn the
grounds at the court house. Congress.
man Arnold deserves the thanks of the
sold boys" for the pronptness with
which he looked after their request, as
these ''pieces" are being rapidly taken
up from all sections of the country and
are getting quite scarce and hard to Sc,
cure.
