The many friends here of II. NJ. r.
win the general editor of the Franklin
Ne,0s will be panied to hear that he has
been in such i'll health for the past month
that lie has been compelled to go to Cam
bridge Springs to recuprate.
Rev. j. L. Hillard has been conduct
ing wonderfully successful revival
past and many souls have been saved. In
fact it has been one of the most successful
series of meetings ever held there and
great good has been accomplished.
Anybody with common sense knows
that this is the time of year that a mer-
chart wants to get rid of his stock of
overcoats. That's what's the matter with
Hopkins. He has too many on hand and
he will just about give them away, rather
than carry them over. just come and get
prices, that's all we ask. 1t.
Walter Maze, son OF Jackson Maze,
of Barnett township, had the bones of
his left ankle badly crushed last Friday
by getting caught under load of bark
which he and a number of others were
"snubbing" down a hill. Drs. fowler and
Stonecipher attended the young man.
The leg was badly crushed and it cannot
be told now whether the young man will
lose his leg or not.
We received communications from q
number of correspondents this week We
were unable 10 publish on account of lack
of space for which we are very sorry. But
as this is the last time that we will have
to run the Auditors report this year we
will now have plenty of room and we will
be glad to devote part OF it to county
correspondence. We hope that none will
be offended who have been left out.
The Washington's Birthday entertain
ment, the program of which was printed
in last weeks REPUBLICAN,, and which
was given under the joint auspices of the
G. A. r., the W. r. q. and the Literary
Society was grand success and great
credit is due to those who took part. We
would like to make special mention OF all
the different numbers on the program
but space will not permit. Suffice il tC
say that all did exceedingly well. The
only drawback to the whole entertain
ment was the inability of Capt. Knox L
be present and conduct the flag drill t
which he has given 50 much time. Blu
his place was ably filled by Prof Spec
and J. b. Eden.

We have frequently been amused at
people who do not subscribe for their
home paper being so brash as to criticse
some of its utterances. What business
of theirs is it what the paper says; they
don't help maintain it.-Er.
AT a meeting of the Democratic
County Committee held in the Sheriff's
Office last evening r. M. Herman of this
place was elected chairman, and J. c.
Miller of Kellettville as a delegate to the
State convention. Saturday, May Sth,
was the date chosen for holding the pri-
maries.
During a sermon being delivered by
Rev. John Hulchins in Utica county,
Tenn, recently he made use of these
words: "The Lord directed the bullet
that killed Abraham Lincoln" The
congregation became furious and the
minister found it necessary to take to the
mountains.
Clothing! Well, if that is what you
want just call on l.. j. Hopkins, at the
iron building, and he will quote prices
that are so low that you won't be able to
get your pocketbooK out quick enough.
Come and look over the enormous stock,
even if You don't want to buy. No trouble
to show goods. 1t.
This is one OF the largest terms of
court that Forest county has ever known
and there are so many people in town
that it is almost impossible to secure
sleeping apartments for them. We would
like to mention all of the vicinity people
who are in town, but we would have to
enlarge the paper if we did.
I, f. Dean, of this place has a we'll
preserved copy of the Ulster county, N.
Y, Gazette which is dated Jan. 4, 1900
and contains an account of the death and
interment of Geo. Washington. The paper
was issued at Kingston, n. Y, and is an
excellent sample of the art of printing as
practiced in those days. While the date
| of the paper is Jan. 4, 1900, it contains
foreign news dated as far back as Oct. Q,
of the previous year, which shows con-
siderable of discrepancy between the
telegraphic service OF that day and the
present.
Two gentlemen from Tionesta,
Messrs.J d. Swailes and Ed. Hunter met
with serious misfortune when driving in
/ to the city Saturday evening. Just be-
yond the east end toll gate they were run
| into by another rig whose occupants were
| three men and a woman. As result OF
| the encounter the horse driven by the
| Tionesta parties, an animal belonging to
the livery of s. y, Garfield received stab
in the breast to a depth Of several inches
by the thill of the other rig, 1t is proba-
bly, fatally injured and is at Pastorius'
stables. The gentlemen state that they
had given the proper passing room as
! well as a call of warning to those of the
other vehicle, who even after the accident
were disposed to be insolent and quarrel

Meetings are held nightly in the F. NJ.
church since the general quarterly meet
ing on the Sth. A few have shown symp-
toms of salvation, but up to date the ep-
idemic has not been as serious as the
ministers would like.
The Kingsley Twp. local institute
which was held on Saturday was we'll at

cussed. The proper officers were in their
respective places and with the assistance
of Supt. Stitzinge1, who so ably helped
the institute with his numerous remarks
and especially by his talk on "Habit,"
were well received and applauded. The
thanks of the institute and also the
citizens present are due to DR.. Detar and
wife and Mrs. A. A. Presho for valuable
music rendered throughout the session.
We would like to give here detailed ac-
count of the program, but space will not
permit, but sudice il to say that all did
splendidly. 1t has been decided TO hold
another institute beginning Friday even

The Superior Court has decided that
newspaper men are disqualified from
serving upon iuries i'm this Common
wealth. That's the way it goes. The
country editor will have no chance to
make a living at all after while.
A Ridgway attorney tells us that the
following is a verbatim copy of an order
received by merchant of that place /:
Please send down some time this after
noon a sack of flour, one pound of Java
and Mocho coffee, halfpound tea, same as
before. My wife gave birth to a baby boy
last night, also a screw driver. small one,
aud a sack of salt. 1t weighed ten pounds
and a quarters worth of cigars. 1 send

Suit has been entered I'm the Blair
county court by twenty-nins Blair coun-
ty constables against the county commits
sioners as a test to determine whether or
not the officers are each entitled to fee
of Sl.5O and mileage for making their re-
turns to court. The legal question for
the court to decide is whether the con-
stables fee law of 1898 repeals all other
statutes on the same subject.
An exchange aptly says: Never
growl because a newspaper fails to give
every scrap Of news so long as you take
no trouble to give the information. We
have heard Of readers who are awfully
put out at times because we make nc
note of arrival and departure of friends
visiting them or Of social affairs, or OF
the heavon-sent babies that visit their
homes over night. The average newspa-
per mau isn't a medium, nor a mind
reader, but gets most OF his news the
same way milkman gets his milk-by
pumping.

THE Y. P. $. c. E. CONVENTION
Held in the Presbyterian Church at
this Place Last Friday a Sue
cessful Affair.

The convention Of the local union
of the Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor, which was held
in this place last Friday afternoon
and evening was considered one of
the most successful ever held by the
society iu this locality. There was a
very large attendance of delegates.
The home society expected a very
large attendance Of delegates but the
crowds that came 50 far exceeded all
expectations that for time it seemed
that large number would have to
90 hungry if they al depended on
getting their supper at the society
rooms in the church. But our young
people are equal to any emergency
and it was but a short time until they
had enough grub" on hand to feed
the large assemblage of delegates and
other visitors. II is estimated that
over 400 people we're fed and that is
pretty good showing for town of
this size, and iuding from the reports
Of papers in neighboring towns which
sent delegates everyone was satisfied
with the manner in which they were
entertained This union has had
wonderful growth in its numbers aud
influence since its organization in
1892. 1t is at present composed Of
20 societies from OIL City, Titusville,
Franklin, Tionesta, Pleasantville,

Instances In Which They Won Promotion
 in Civil and Military Life.
 A long list might be given of men who have owned their advancement in life to clever answer given at the right moment An account of how two of them managed it may be ap- propriately given just now. One of Napoleon's veterans, who survived his master many years, was wont to re- count with great glee how he once picked up the emperor's cooked hat at a review, when the latter, without notic- ing that he was a private, said care lessly, "Thank you, captain" In what regiment, sire?" instantly in- quired the quick-witted soldier. Ma poleon, perceiving his mistake, an swered, with a smile, "In my gnards. for see you know how to be prompt. |" The newly made officer received his commission next morning.
 A somewhat similar anecdote is re- lated of Marshal Suwaroff, who, when receiving dispatch from the hands of Russian sergeant who had greatly distinguished himself on the Danube, attempted to confuse the messenger by series of whimsical questions, but found him fully equal to the occasion. ''How many fish are there in the sea?" asked Suwaroff. "All that are not caught yet" was the answer "How far is it to the moon?" Two of your excellency's forced marches" What would you do if you saw your men giving way in battle?" 1T would tell them there was plenty of whisky be- hind the enemy's line" Baffied at all points, the marshal ended with, What is the difference between your colonel and myself?" My colonel cannot make me a lieutenant, but your excel lency has only to say the word" "I say it now" answered Suwaroff, "and right good officer you will be. "- Modern Society

No-To-Bac for Flfty Cents.

Millions of men who are daily "Tobacco Splitting and Smoking Their Lives Away" will be glad to learn that the makers of No To-Bac, the famous guaranteed tobacco habit cure, that has freed over 400, GOO tobac- co users in the last few years, have put on the market fifty yceut package o their great remedy. This will give every tobacco user a chance to test Bac's power to con trol the desire for tobacco in every form and at the same time be benefited by No-To- bacs nerve strengthening qualities. Every tobacco user should procure fifty cent box at once from his druggist or orderit by mail. You will be surprised to sec how easily and quickly the desire for tobacco disappears.

Hard Work win Tell.

One often envies greatness, overlook ing the hardships and struggles passed through before the place of honor has been attained. When we read of the lives of distinguished men in any de- partment, we find them almost always where they are through hard work. We hear constantly of the great amount of labor they could perform. Demos themes, Julius Cesar, Henry w, of France, Sir Isaac Newton, Washing ton, Napoleon and many others, differ ent as they were in their intellectual and moral qualities, were all renowned as hard workers We read how many days they could support the fatigues of a march; how early they rose; how many hours they spent in the field, the cabinet, in the court--in short. how hard they worked. -Harper's Round Table.
