John A. Magee one of Clarion's best
known and most prominent business
mon, and who was we'll and favorably
known to many Forest county people,
died at Mercy Hospital, Pittsburg, on the
18th inst, whittier he had gone to be op-
Grated upon for cancerous growth in the
bowels. Mr. Magee's friends were legion

-Ofall self acknowledged pup. les, the
young man who speaks lightly of female
character, and female virtue, deserves
the highest place in the congregation Of
MOI al lepers. There is no moIe certain

big wooden house, and is able to buy
goods all the way from % cents to $3.50 a

deavor Monday, and gave us a friendly
call. Lafe was somewhat sore yet from a
little encounter he had with an emery
wheel which he was working over about
two weeks ago 1T the Newtown mills.

clip when it did just what such instru-
ments very frequently do-"blow up"
60 into hundred pieces, and often make
serious trouble for the operator. In this
instance piece struck Lafe in the short
ribs, breaking at least one of them, and
from the soreness it caused him he
wouldn't be surprised if the whole outfit
was smashed up if the truth could be
known.
