capitalists contemplating a good invest.
ment should give the matter attention.
Daniel Rustler, one of the oldest citi.
zens of Hickory township, was struck on
the head one day last week by a dead
limb that had been knocked down by A
falling tree. He was one of party that
was taking out ties. His companions con.
veyed him to his home, aud DIR. Morrow
of West Hickory was called, who found a
severe scalp wound. but no fracture, and
Mr.. Rustler is getting along very well,
considering his age, he being upward OF
~ years old.
WHAT'S the matter of this plan for get
ting rid ofthe tramp nuisance? An Ohio
town has adopted it and it is said to work
like noodle: Residents of the town are
supplied with tickets by the officials and
when tramp calls at back door for a
"handout he is given ticket g cd for a
meal at any restaurant, when counter
signed by the mayor. When tramp
presents the ticket for signature he will
be asked to pound stone until he has
earned the meal. The tramps catch on
and give the town wide berth.
Levi Pierso2, of Kingsley township,
met with quite a severe accident last Sat
urGay. While driving down Hickory
creek below the mouth of Queen, having
on load of logs, the sleds upset at the
"narrows" and Mr.. Pierson was thrown
about 10 feet, striking OH his head. A
long, deep cash was cut in the scalp
which required the insertion of l6 stitch
from the surgeons needle to bring the
parts together. DR.. Will G. Morrow at
tended him, and the injured man was able
to return to his home near Kellettville
Monday. We believe the team sustained
no injury.
-Ex-State Treasurer B. ]. Haywood.
who has been i'll for the past year, is now
in critical condition at his home in
Sharon, and his physicians have no hope
OF his recovery. Mr.. Haywood was one
of the most popular officials that has ever
occupied position of trust in Harris
burg, and his honor and integrity we're
never questioned for moment until, to
serve a foul political purpose, charges
were brought against him IN the Phi!a.
delphia courts for conspiracy to misuse
State funds. The death of no public man
in this State will be more generally re.
gretted than that of Ben. Haywood.
The Odd Fellows of this place gave
one of their delightful banquets last eve-
ming, which was attended by a large
number Of the membership in and out of
town, besides number ofinvited guests.
After the reception and public meeting
at the hall an elegant spread was enjoyed
at Hotel Agnew, where covers were laid
for upward of hundred guests. Cole
mans celebl ated orchestra of Titusville
was present and made everybody happy
with sweetest strains of music. We
would like to give a full account of the
pleasant affair but time and space forhids
The time is fast coming when the
State fish commissioners will commence
to deliver their blanks for small fish fry
to the several applicants. Each county
is entitled to its share of this specially
and those who apply first are put ON the
list and sent blanks to be properly filled
out. There is doub about each locality
or district getting what it is entitled to, so
1t is not at all impracticable for all inter-
ested in angling to send in their applica-
ton early for these blanks, at the same
time asking that the fry be sent after the
advent ot spring weather. All blanks
must be endorsed by the representative
of the county from which they are made.
The man who has good and indus
trious wife has reason to get down on his
knees three times each day and thank
God. good woman can bring more
sunshine and happiness into family cir
Gle than barrel of silver or a mine of
! gold, and can MAKE all around her happy
and contented as well as being the same
herself, The nearest 10 Heaven that
man ever gets while on this earth is when
he can go home to the bosom of his fam.
lily where peace and happiness reigns
and where discomfort and turmoil enter
not This testimony from an exchange
is true to the letter, and yet how often
we find those who apparently fail to ap-
preciate it.
Geo. s. Chadman, ESQ.,, well known
practicing attorney of this place during
the past two years, will, OH or about
March lst, remove to Lamartine, Salem
township, where is located the Weeter
homestead farm recently purchased by
him and where he will take up his resi-
dence. This is one of the most desirable
farms in that section of the county, being
well improved and having thereon good
OIL and splendid gas production. Mr..
Chadman, we understand, will not re-
lenquish his law practice, but still find
time from his other pursuits to attend to
his professional duties. While we are
sorry to lose Mr.. Chadman and family
from our town, we congratulate them on
the possession of so desirable home as
that to which they go.-Clarion Democrat.
