angling. Wen not ask "who can beaI
it." because there aren't any ten men in
the burg can get within shooting distance
of it.
Fred Dick, Tionesta's fashionable
and up-to-date tailor, is kept busy as a
mailer these days, but he keeps up with
his orders and can always find time for
more. Mr.. Dicks work gives perfect
satisfaction always, and his prices are so
reasonable that he has no trouble in hold
ing his customers. A fine line o f samples
always on hand to select from.
Application will be made next
Thursday for charter by the gentlemen
interested in the beet sugar project. Con-
tracts for acreage for beet growing will
soon be submitted to the farmers of this
vicinity. This is one of the essential
steps in the matter, as sufficient num-
ber ofbeets to operate the factory must
be guaranteed. d.-MeadUille Gazette.

Patrick Joyce was awarded the con-
tract last Saturday for erecting the stone
abutments for the new bridge which is TO
span Tionesta creek connecting the new
road leading from Nebraska to jug
Handle, the road commissioners ofGreen
township having found Mr.. Joyce's bid

begun and will be rushed 10 completion
as fast as possible.
Among the illustrations in that ex-
cellent work, the Horse Book, written by
Judge Bicycle, is General George Wash
ington's stable at Mt. Vernon. The chap
ter on stables contains many helpful
hints, and has tho plans and elevation of
an attractive village stable. See adyer-
tisement in our advertising columns.

The extremely modest editor of the
Cochranton Times published the follow
ing: "We have hanging up in our sane
tum plain black band of generous d.
mensions, which appears to be too small
for belt and somewhat too large for a
sleeveholder. The article was found on
the street, and in case the owner comes in
and proves property the samo will be
turned over without the customary fee
for advertising. 1t is not a dog collar"
The Bell company is painting its tel
ephone poles in the borough, in pursu-
ance of an ordinance recently passed by
council, and the improvement is quite
marked. The Forest county phone peo-
pie will doubtless go after their poles
also in short time. The ordinance pro-
hibits the hitching of horses to the poles
or using them for advertising purposes,
thus giving them clean and and respec-
table appearance when they are painted.
The Junction House at Elulalia, a
dance hall, and house occupied by sta
ton agent w. Il. Sanford, were all de-
stroyed by fire last Wednesday morning.
The buildings were all owned by land
lord M. e. Graybill of the Junction
House, in which the fire originated from
defective flue. Very few of the goods
in the hotel were saved, but Mr.. Sanford
succeeded in saving about all his house,
hold effects. An insurance of $1,000 on
the buildings is said to have been carried
by Mr.. Graybill.
The secret service bureau has re-
ceived notice of new and dangerous
counterfeit $40 sill or certificate, series of
1891, letter B, Tillman register and Nor
gan treasurer, portrait of Hendricks.
The note is photo mechanical reproduce
tion, the face good, but rather too light.
The back is better than the face, most of
the scroll work being very good. The
note is on soft paper, probably two pieces
ofJapanese paper pasted together, aud
the silk lines of the genuine paper are re-
produced with care.
"A case in which Mrs. Humes, wife of
Rev. J. A. Humes of Pleasantville, was
the plaintiff, and the Titusville Electric
Traction company defendant was tried in
the Crawford county courts last week.
The plaintiff was thrown out of sleigh
in January last while driving over the
Traction company's tracks at Pleasant
vile, and so badly injured as to rende;
her a cripple for life. She sued for S20,
600 damages, and the jury awarded her
SS,S73. Rev. Mr.. Humes, who is a Meth
odist minister, was at one time stationed
at East Hickory, and the family are well
remembered by many of our citizens.
