and the reunion of friends with such per-

DIR. Talmage in speaking of country
newspapers says: "a newspaper whose
columns overflow with advertisements of
business men has more influence in at
tracing attention to and building up
city or town than any other agency en-
ployed, People go where there is an en-
terprising community. No power on
earth is so strong to build up a town as a
newspaper well patronized, and its power
should be appreciated"
The practice among boys, and some
who consider themselves young men, of

surely some day we will have a horrible
accident to chronicle as result of this
evil. Boys, boys, take warning before it
is too late, for if you escape injury by the
cars you're liable to suffer by the law, as
it is whispered detective is on the watch
and taking names.

For the first in all the years of his in
cumbency of the position of court crier
our old friend James A. Scott ESQ.,, of
Marienville, was unable to attend court
last week, owing to illness. Mr.. Scott is
upward of 80 years of age, and has held
the position of court crier almost contin-
ually for nearly forty years. He seldom
rode to town when coming here to attend
his duties, aud frequently walked the en-
tire distance, about % miles. All his
many friends will hope to see him in his
accustomed chair again at next session of

That the wave of prosperity has
struck us is plainly shown by the wave
of the many plumes on the beautiful hats
worn by the ladies of this place. But
what wonder, when you can go to the up
to date millinery firm of F. Walters &
style of the art, so much cheaper than
you can in the city? Now is the time to
order your new hat, for the firm will be
very busy for the next three weeks un-
packing and arranging the elaborate stock
of holiday goods which they have ordered
and which are now arriving. See their
stock of ladies' and infants wear. 1t
BRO. Rogers of the Kane Republican, ,as
well acquainted with the leading men of
the State as any man in it, pays this COM
| pliment to our Representative elect: "Dr.
S. s. fowler, who was elected to the Leg
islature from Forest county at the late
election, is resident of Marienville. He
was villified and abused as all other Re-
publicans who ran for Office this year
were, but he went through by seventy
majority. Enough is as good as feast.
DR.. fowler will be one of the brainiest
men and one of the most accomplished
speakers who will occupy seat in the
next House of Representatives at Harris
burg, And he will not be led by ring
in his nose. Put that in your pipe and
smoke it, "
