Under an Act of Assembly which pro-

-Br'er White of the Tidioute NetoS is
observing as he travels. When in town
last week he noticed that Tionesta was
doing "the right way" and sis rushing
the cement walk business more ener-
getcally than Tidioute. Better than III
dioute, the walks are being laid to an es-
tablished grade, and not in the hit and
miss manner, resulting in jumping off
places"

The Meadville Jail has been con-
demned by Messrs. Boyle and Biddle,
of the State Board of Charities, they de-
claring that the prison is a disgrace to
civilization. - IYtuSUiUe Courier. Mr..
Biddle was in Tionesta on his rounds of
inspection last week, and took occasion

the finest he had met with in his entire
travels through the state.
The young man who puts his
shoulder to the wheel and labors is always
respected more than a dressed up, idle
dude. 1t matters not so much what kind
of labor it is, so that it is labor, mental
or physical, says an exchange. The boy
who will take bucks and earn some
thing with it rather than be idle, is en-
titled to the respect of the people and
may be expected to some day fill higher
places of trust and honor. 1t is q worse
disgrace to DO idle than to be a boot
black.

chases and while there their horse be-
came balky and overturned the buggy,
throwing all out, Mrs. Rankin striking
on her shoulder and the other occupants
of the rig falling upon her. The bones
of her shoulder were so badly smashed
that her physicians say it will be couple
of months before she will be able to have
any use of it.

of the largest in years." said Deputy
Secretary of Agriculture Martin. "WC
shalt not have to get out OF Pennsylvania
to supply the home market. But the
great fruit crop in Pennsylvania thi:
year," continued Mr.. Martin, twill bC
the apple crop, for which this State is
justly celebrated. Reports from all the
apple growing counties, and there are &
great many of them, show that the tree:
will bear unusually heavy this season
The wheat crop will be very poor one
this year. In some of the wheat growing
: counties in this part of the State the farm.
ers will not take the trouble TO harvest
3 the grain which is quite worthless. Two
causes contribute to the failure of the
crop, one being the cold spring and the
wheat fly. You can pass through the
fields in Cumberland, Lancaster, Adams
: and other counties in this section of the
/ State and the devastation of the fly will
