America, and it pleases the women folks
all to pieces. We have made a special
arrangement by which we are able to

1899 and all of 1900, 1901, 1902 and 1908,
nearly five years, to every subscriber OF
the FOREST REPUBLICAN who immedi-
ately p 'ys all arrearages and year in

The Collins lumber mill at Salmon
creek, Kingsley twp, has started again,
having been reftted and to large ex
tent rebuilt. 1t is now band mill, has
live rollers, gang slasher, lath mill,
aud one of the finest hatcher and planer
machines in the State; an automatic
sawdust carrier, an endless log chain, log
kicker, and steam "nigger;" trimmer,
new boiler has been added and the boil
or house situated just across the road
from the mill. A bridge has been built
across Salmon at the mouth of "the
Branch" and the road up Salmon crosses
there now instead of at the mill as form
ally.
Owing to the nature of some of the
cases which will come before the Septem-
ber court, it was found necessary to draw
an Oyer and Terminer jury, so ten extra
names were drawn from the wheel last
Saturday by the Jury Commissioners
and Sheriff. They are as follows:
Neal, U. S., laborer, Barnett.
Rudolph, E., laborer, Hickory.
Wenk. j. E., editor, Borough.
Hart, w. F., laborer, Howe.
Willard, j. G., laborer, Howe.
Gillespie, VIM, farmer, Kingsley.
Eldridge, Geo., farmer, jerks.
Allio, Joseph, farmer, Green.
Jordan, Davis, sawyer, jerks.
Stark, Geo, laborer, Howe.
Judge j. w. Reed and Charles b.
Guth spent Friday and Saturday on the
Sinnemahoning river fishing for bass.
They found the water too low for good
fishing and had to be content with catch
of fifty bass. The honors on this trip
were quite evenly divided, the score be-
ing First day, Reed l6, Guth 10; Sec
ond day, Guth Is. Reed S.-Brookvile
Republican. Fifty bass in two days fish
ing! and yet the river was too low. What
if the river had been just right? 1t is al
together probable that these "bass" are
what we call sunfish over on the Allie
gheny. Fifty bass taken out of our river
would mean busiDeas for the fellow who
lugged them home.

Monday of this week was the fiftieth
anniversary of the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. Daniel Black, who reside on farm
on Smokey Hill, about two miles from
Tionesta, and SO the day was made the
occasion of very pleasant gathering Of
their friends to the number of forty OF
upwards at their home. The guests were
principally comrades of the Grand Ar

Woman's Relief Corps. Long tables
were spread and shortly after the noon
hour the party sat down to most sumpt'
uous dinner, which was discussed in g
very pleasant manner. The venerable
host and hostess received very many
congratulations upon the attainment o
their golden wedding day, and wher
good-byes were said the hope was ex
pressed by all that the aged couple nigh
live to see many happy returns of the
day.
