Mrs. Emma War; Jack, relict o
the late Sam T. Jack the well know n the.
atrical manager who formerly controlled
an oil country circuit of theaters with
headquarters at Oil City, is contesting
his will. She not only refuses to marry
the deceased's brother, but also alleges
that her dead husband was influenced by
him in making the will. Mrs. Jack Wis.,
tied Oil City recently. TItusUille Courier,
While the rains of the past few days
have been very annoying to the farmer
whe had his hay and grain crops only
partly harvested, the lumberman who
has had his wares tied up on low water
for several weeks is not worrying to any
great extent. 1t is estimated that $40, ,00O
to $50, 900 worth of stuff will be noated to
the Pittsburg market on the little 1 Use in
the river. And so what is one mans mis-
fortune is another's good luck.
The flood of few weeks ago created
no small amount of damage to the stone
culvert spanning Tubbs run at its mouth
and is requiring the attention of the
street commissioner. The real damage
was not apparent at first, hole having
washed out at the lower side by the
swirl ofthe large body of water as II was
forced through the arch. With each sue
ceeding freshet there has been more or
less undermining of the masonry going
on, and 1t will require considerable work
to stop this sort OF thing.
The Franklin Ne0S insists that there
will be nothing Objectionable nor will
there be any gambling permitted at the
Elks' street fair in that place. What's the
use of having the fair, anyway, if fellow
isn't to have any fun at all?-Butler
Times. That's just where we're between
two fires, Bill. A large percentage wants
to see everything CO." while a very
small one don't want the fair at all. What
would you do?-Evening NewS. Cut 'er
loose, Br'er Borland, and let 'er go.
That's what they all want, anyway.
"A new potato pest, said to be worse
than the striped bug is reported from
some sections of the State. For wart of
better name it is called the "potato
louse." The insect is very small, so
small as to be hardly visible to the naked
eye, and covers the potato leaves so that
scarcely any of the leaf can be seen. They
eat the leaf and in few days it will with
er. Farmers have tried in various ways
to get rid of them, but without success.
The insects cannot be shaken off, and
Paris green does not appear to have an
effect on them.

The movements of our former resident
Joe Thomas are still watched by the Clar-
ion papers, the latest being from the
Jdcksonidn, as follows: "The wonder of
vegetarians how Joe Thomas, the colored
gentleman, west of town, could raise any,
thing at all on his garden patch back of
the fair grunds was cleared up in our
minds Tuesday afternoon as we passed.
Joe understands his buisness-farming-
and while he has not been using lime to
any great extent does not spare other
odious substance. In fact he uses so
much of it that the air for mile is very
much tainted"
-Lanson Bros. have given contract
for placing in their mill full-hedged,
up to date roller flour mill; also roller
buckwheat flour mill, and expect to have
it running by Sept. lst This will make
theirs one of tho finest mills in this sec
ton and will undoubtedly bring much
of the bushes to this place that has hith-
erto gone elsewhere. It's good thing
and we hope to see their business boom.
The new gas engine proves to be all that
it was represented and the feed mill is
running every day, and your feed will
be ground while you wait. All the best
brands of flour are kept constantly on
hand for sale or exchange.
