place, A. Gilbe,rs stallion, Frank II,

Derrick. Mr.. Cryan drove a speeder
belonging to the Messrs. Sutton at a num-
Der of the county fairs in this section OF
the State and in three starts he won first
place, and would have won the fourth but
for an accident IN which he was thrown
from the sulkey.
Probably ninety-nine women out of
every hundred scan the advertising col
umns of their iavorite newspapers before
they set forth on shopping expeditions,
says the Philadelphia Record. The mer-
chant whose name does not appear in
these columns has no more chances OF
receiving a share of the prospective pur-
chaser's patronage than he would have il
his establishment were located at the
north pole; for unless he advertises reg
ularly he is likely to become forgotten.
1t is cold day for the storekeeper when
he neglects to remind the public of his
existence.

The present artistically colored issue
of internal revenue stamps is to be with
drawn, and the new issue will be admit
tedly ugly. But there is reason for the
change. For more than a year past the
Treasury Department has been defrauded
OF thousands of dollars by the washing of
cancelled revenue stamps. Those en-
gagged in the business have secured can
celled revenue stamps OF all denomina-
tions, washed them clean, e.gummed
them and sold them. Now, however, the
Treasury chemists have found an olive
gray.ink for the stamp itself which will
fade away if an attempt is made to wash
out the cancelled mark. Unfortunately
it has proved impossible to blend this
fugitive ink with any chemical producing
an agreeable color, and beauty has there
fore been sacrificed to safety. The design
of the Battleship Maine will be retained.
Tho Western Association of the l2lst
Pa. Vols. held its annual reunion at Pres
ident last Wednesday, when the old boys
with many friends and their ladies were
guests of Capt. j. M. Clapp, who royalty
entertained his comrades and friends. II
was an occasion which for genuine pleas
ure will never be forgotten by any who
were partakers of the genial hosts large
hearted hospitality. Each one carried
home with him a beautiful memento in
shape OF a membership badge of the or
ganzation in tri-colored ribbon, gold let
ters and spirited army scene on large
white disc as a pendant. An enjoyable
campfire was held in the evening at
which, among others, speeches were made
by Comrades S. d. Irwin, ]. Albaugh,
Rev. b. f. Felt and II. p. Harry, of For
est county's veterans. The next reunion
will be held in Oil City in Octobnr 1901.
Col A. A. Clearwater, the popular
Republican candidate for congress in this
district paid visit to this county last
week, stopping at Marienville, Tionesta,
the two Hickories, Endeavor and Brooks
ton Oh his route. His time was very
limited as he was obliged to be back ZONE
Saturday morning to meet an important
business engagement. Notwithstanding
this he met large number of voters OF
all shades OF politics, and tho impression
left Upon them was most favorable in
deed. The Colonel is man of modest
and unassuming address, a plain busi-
ness man, who impresses strangers with
his sincerity, uprightness and honesty,
and who makes friends wherever he goes.
lie is not man with "barrel," but by
hard work, close attention to business,
energy and industry, has placed himself
in comfortable circumstances. In one re-
spect he is immensely rich-intellect and
honor-and Just the sort of man this dis
trict should have as its representative in
Congress. Forest county will do its duty
by the gallant veteran, and will offset
any majority his opponent, Mr.. Hall, can
get in the Democratic county of Elk.
With a rousing majority in old Clearfeld
and safe margin in Centre this district
will again be redeemed and added to the
Republican delegation of the old Key
stone State. Don't lose sipht of the fact
