Oil Notes.

Grove & Longwell had gotten the pump
nicely started at their we'll on the Long
well q McFee tract up near the county
home last week, when they hal another
cave-in. They have some oil in the hole
but are having tough time in getting it
out.
p. NJ. Shannon is building a new rig
near the headwaters of Little Coon, the
Collins lands. This, we believe, will
make the fourth well which Mrs. has put
down in that territory.
Shooter Geo. Birtcil put in a 3O-quart
torpedo for Tuttle Il Sutley over on Pow
erty Hill, between Fagundus and Neill-
town, last Friday. The well showed up
far fair pumper.
"Farmer" Dean is still doing well at
his lease down near Baum station, hav-
ing recently finished the finest producer
yet struck in that territory. The wells
seem to hold up nicely.
It is reported that since the sale of the
Peuuignot and Carnahan interests at
Trunkeyville TO franklin parties failed
of contamination, Ramage & Co. of Oil
City have purchased the lease. The
price paid for the three-fourths is not
definitely known, but is believed to have
been considerably above $4,000.
A Bradford paper is predicting 81 oil
for this part of the field. 1t argues that
the advance in price will be brought
about by the failure to find an outlet to
the pools in the Southwest field.

his commission as postmaster at Marien-

has held since the first of the year. Mr..

flee about the first of April, and we feel
confident will'prove painstaking, faith
full and popular postmaster of his hustl-
ing town.
The paper on which the REPUBLICAN
is printed costs about double what it did
six months ago, which cuts down the
margin of profit, at Sl.O0 year, to prac-
tically nothing, and it was meager enough
in the first place. This state Of affairs
makes it imporatively necessary for those
in arrears on subscription to pay up. At
the prices now demanded for all kinds of
printing material no ordinary newspaper
plant can carry many delinquents.

1t is very hard to stand idleylby and see

arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N.Y.)
dairyman called at drug store there for
a doctor TO come and see his child, then
very sick with Group. Not finding the
doctor in, he left word for him to come at
once on his return. He also bought a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some relief
until the doctor should arrive. In few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz.
says the family has since recommended
Chemberlan's Cough Remedy to their
neighbors and friends until he has con-
stant demand for it from that part of the
country. For sale by all druggists.
