There was large turnout at the
meeting of the Woman's Relief Corps last
Wednesday evening, when Mrs. f. S.
Hanchett, Of Tidloute inspected the
Corps. The inspecting officer compli-
mented the ladies very highly at the close
of the meeting oh the excellence of their
work. Provision had been made for
late lunch at the Central House, where
pretty menu cards told of the excellent
spread prepared under the direction of
the hostes, and those who were fortunate
enough to be there were delighted with
the evenings entertainment. 1t was eX-
clusively an affair for the ladies, no gem
tlemen being present. Visitors present
from Tidioute were, Mrs. DeRocher, Mrs.
Clark, Mrs. Noble, Mrs Gilbert and Mrs.
Jones.
Editor Smith OF the Punxsutawney
Spirit announces in his last issue that
within a week or two daily paper will
be issued from that office. He also init
mates that its success and permanency
will depend largely upon how the people
will apprec ate and patronize the new
venture. So far as the editorial and bus
mess management go the success of the
daily will be assured from the start, but
whether the long felt want exists or not
remains to be demonstrated. ro.Smith
has few equals and no superiors in this
sectisn as writer, barring neither prose
nor poetry,and the infusion of hiseegant
style into the pages of daily publication
ought to make it "go" whether or no. 1t
is also noted that the Colonel has "sworn
off" smoking, but this we think is
bluff. He'll find that the successful
launching of new daily paper is mere
boys play compared to lopping off the
suculent "Blue Point or the muscular
wheeling" Don't undertake both at
the same time.
The Allegheny RIVER Improvement
Association will hold meeting in Pitts
burg, November q, at which time Off
GERS will be elected and committees APP
pointed to go to Washington during The
next session of Congress to urge appro.
priations for the contemplated work. The
Dispatch OF Sunday says: "This meeting
was to have been held last Monday, but
on account of noti, es not being sent out
the date was made little later. Much
interest in the proposed improvements
is taken by men concerned in manufac-
turing enterprises along the Allegheny,
and their ultimate aim is to have the
river daned, up as far as Oil City, so that
it will insure navigation at all times suf-
ficint to float logs down to Pittsburg. 1t
is believed that members of Congress will
look fsvorably on the matter ifitis prop
erly put before them, and as so much de-
pends on this work being done, strong
committee is desired to urge the claims
of the district that will be affected" In
view of the fact that it has been some
time since Oil City ceased to be logging
camp, we would suggest TO the Associa-
tion the necessity for damming the Ale
gheny considerably further towards its
source, says the Bhzzdrd, and in which
conclusion we heartily concur
