desires to sxtend thanks to the many
friends who so kindly rendered assistance
during their recent bereavement.
Peter earns is certainly the Champion
wildcat hunter of this section this season,
He and Joe Clark were out yesterday and
bagged one that weighed 20 pounds, and
the hunters and dogs had quite a lively
scrap before they succeeded in putting
the varmint out of business.
-Ad. Wagner of the township brought
in another fox pelt yesterday and got a
five-dollar William for it, counting the
one dollar bounty which the county pays.
This is about the fourth or fifth pelt
Adam has brought in within the past
couple OF weeks, and it pays.
The Y. W. c. T. U. of Enueavor gave
very pleasant Valentine party Tuesday
evening, oflast week. A nicely arranged
program was rendered, consisting of es-
says, recitations, music, ETC., after which a
delicious lunch was served. The "Y.'
netted about $40 for the society's benefit.
Monday night was hummer for frig-
idity, though not as bad rs we've had
this winter. Asa Lovejoy who lives up
at the pond declared some time ago that
he would still get good ice to fill his house
and we guess he's going TO make it all
right, there being already four t. six
inches up there.
Many lumbermen need at least two
weeks of sleighing and they need it badly.
Without it there will be considerable
curtailment of operations and work in
this region next summer. Two weeks of
fairly good sleighing would let the lum-
bermen out in good shape and business
in that line would hum in the spring
hereabouts.
The East Brady Review says: Butia
10 coal operators have had representa-
tives visiting the different mines in the
Allegheny valley during the past week,
endeayoring to secure mines already in
operation, or available coal lands.
Shrewd operators are impressed with the
value of Allegheny valley coal lands and
they are being looked after carefully.
Tie shipments at this station have
been brisk for some time past, and while
the roads keep frozen the hauling goes
steadily on. One would have supposed
the tie timber, or any other kind for that
matter, would have been all taken out of
this region ten years ago, but it really
seems as though the supply is inexausta-
BILE and that the industry is to be inter-
minable.
-Biggle Swine Book is just as valuable
for man with one hog in little sty as
for mau with hundred hogs feeding
on the sheltered side of barbed wire
fence. Its chapter on "Cholera" is alone
worth ten times what the book costs.
You ought to have it, the REPUBLICAN
says so. The price is so cents, free by
mail address the publishers, Wilmer
Atkinson Co., Philadelphia.
"A plain but neat monument has been
placed to mark the resting place of the
late Rev. C. b. Barrett, in Riverside
Cemetery, tre inscription on which was
selected by himself, and reads as follows:
&c. b. Barrett. ls2l-lS99. The Happy
Alleghenian Gone to Glory, Washed in
the Blood of the Lamb" The monument
is from the works off. w. Kerr & Son,
Oil City, Pa, aud is nicely gotten up.
H. L. Dale, the well-known livery
man of Oil City, advertises combina-
ton horse sale to take place at Hotel Ag-
new barn, Tionesta, on Saturday next,
Feb. "a, beginning at loo o'clock sharp,
rain or shine. At least 20 horses will be
offered for sale, and will include matched
teams, drivers, business and draft horses,
and one which has mark of 2:ll4. Also
some wagons, buggies, sleighs and har-
ness. Terms, 4 months, with good Sc
curity.
Speaking of Joe Kennedy, whose trial
for the murder of Chief McGrath OF Titus
vile was postponed 10 may term last
week, the Meadville Tribune says: "Sev-
eral persons who are deeply interested in
the welfare of Joe Kennedy, alias Frank
Major, who is awaiting trial on the charge
Of murder and burglary, are known to he
in the city, and there is much conjecture
as TO who Kennedy really is and where he
belongs. Considerable mystery surrounds
the case"
Five years is good while we know,
and in that time some may move and
some pass over to the great beyond, but
the Farm Journal will come Just the
same to everyone who takes advantage of
the clubbing offer which the RErUBLI-
CAN has with its publishers. Just think
ofitl The remainder Of 1900 and all of
1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904. Nearly a five
years subscription to the Farm Journal
to every one who will pay up at once to
the REPUBLICAN; both papers at the
price of ours only.
