The veterans reunion at Endeavor
last Thursday was one of the pleasantest
and most successful yet held in the
county, and it is estimated there were
over six hundred people in attendance,
all of whom were most royalty enter
tanned by the good people of that vicinity.
The hot weather in August has
tended to hurry the peach season and
almost without an early crop, the height
of the season is upon the market with
many of the best specimens of the lus-
cious fruit now in evidence. Amsler al.
ways carries the largest and finest stock
The Titusville EOening Courier was
enlarged by the addition of another col
umn all round and is now one of the
best exchanges that reaches this Office.
For a two-year-old the Courier is all
right, and, barring politics, we wish the
sprightly evening daily all manner of
success.
Very truthful and to the point are

The bondsmen of the late John
| Blevins, whose accounts as city treasurer
of New Castle were found TO be some
| $780, 600 short, have absolutely refused to
! pay the shortage and the cases will come
! up for trial in the Lawrence county
| courts in short time. Blevins, ii will
be remembered, was very mysteriously
murdered about two years ago.

Mr.. Sires, the photo artist, will be at
his Tiouesta gallery every Saturday un-
! til further notice, to attend the wants OF
customers. Never put off your visit on

has recently fitted up neat new gallery

Stephen Bush is giving some atten-
ton to repairing umbrellas, parasols, and
the like, and does very neat job at it,.
He is prepared to do anything in that line
at reasonable figures that comes his way,
and we've no longer any reason for pat
ronizing the itinerant umbrella members,
who generally do you slouch job and
make you pay dearly for it. Patronize
Steve and encourage homo Industry.
Adam Sibble of German Hill mea-
sured Hubbard squash growing in his
garden tother day and found it girthed 4
feet, inches, neat measure. The fruit is
not yet ripe, and perhaps not done grow
ing at that price, and since it is Adam's 9
first attempt at Hubbard squash raising
we are anxious to know what he'll have
to show for next years crop. when he
gets his hand rightly into the business.
Black and gray squirrels are said to
be abundant hereabouts at present. The
season for this species Of game is en-
| tirely out of joint. The frisky little fell
lows may be abundant in September, but
! by October 18th, when the law permits
the killing, not one in sight. They
are migratory in their nature aud the sea-
son should begin Sept. lst SO that all
sportsmen might haye an equal chance
to get a mess now and then.
The Commissioners of Forest County
have notified the several collectors not to
collect tho bicycle tax this year, owing
to a decision by Judge Simonton OF

imposing same is unconstitutional. The
law was practically worthless at all
events, tho amount of tax realized from
that source being wholly inadequate for
tho building or maintaining of side
paths in tho country districts.
Some weeks ago tho REPUBLICAN
contained a few lines to the effect that il
the leaves of lilac bush we're all picked
OFF the shrub would proceed to grow an
other crop of flowers. Mrs. VIM. Thom-
son of this place tried the experiment,
and has since plucked some very fragrant
boquets from shrub in her yard. The
new flowers were about three weeks m
developing. Mrs. Thomson has our
thanks for a bpquet of these very pretty
! flowers,
