County Treasure Henry begins the
sale of lands for tax arrearages next
Monday, June llth. A large number
have stepped up to the captains s
desk and settled since the advertising of
the list, but there still remains quite a
goodly number of tracts to be disposed of
under the hammer.
No trace of the East Brady bank rob-
bers has been found and il is hardly
probable they ever will be. The men
who committed the deed are evidently
old hands at the business and have Gov
cred up their tracks so well that not the
slightest clue as to their identity can be
found. -Emlenton Herald.
The census enumerator started on
his rounds last Friday. 1t is expected
the work will be completed within two
weeks, but it is more than likely to take
the greater portion of June to finish. The
country districts are not so easily gotten
over, and the enumerators must have
time to do their work right.
While fishing on Tionesta Creek
Thursday, couple of Kane fishermen
encountered large black bear. Being un-
armed they made no attempt to molest

AT the Centre county Democratic
primaries last Saturday J. w. Kepler, a
former Tionesta boy won the nomination
for Assembly by very large majority,
having 81 out of s. delegates. Wills
Forest county friends will be pleased to
read of his success, for a Democratic
nomination in Centre county practically
means election, and since we must have
some Democrats in the legislature we are
glad to know they are to be good ones.
Judge Sinlonton, of Dauphin county,
has declared the side-path law passed by
the recent Legislature to be unconstitu-
tionai on the grounds that it conflicts
with that part of the constitution which
declares that the Legislature cannot del
egate powers to make municipal i'm
provements to a commission. The court
is of the opinion that there are other
clauses of the bill which conflict with the
constitution, but the one quoted is suffi-
cient.
e. w. Smiley, the veteran editor of
the Citisen-PreSS. Franklin, announces
his withdraw from the management Of

the helm for upwards of 80 years,
during which time he has built up

becomes editor and manager in chief, and
in his keeping the paper will not suffer.
Success to both father and sou.
