Fourth. Our next issue will be on July
1lth. Meantime we hope everybody
may have a good time and come through
the racket incident to such occasions with
with a whole hide and undisfigured
ceuntenance.
VIM. Mckee is building new dwell
ing house on his farm out on the hill
across the river. 1t is to be 24x26, with
cellar under the entire building. V. G.
Armstrong is doing the carpenter work.
Fast Hickory will celebrate the
Fourth in grand old-fashioned style, and
that means with fife and drum, picnic,
dance, races, etc, A general and cordial
invitation is extended. Good order and
good music is on the bill of fare.
jerome Kightlinger, a former iesi-
denet of Tionesta, was badley, though
not seriously, injured at Oil City one day
last week by being thrown from truck
used by the construction gang of the
Citizens Traction Company which is
building the new street railway in that
city,

ing will be held at the home of Mr.. G. NJ.

-Overseer David Miller of Howe
township was down last week and
brought with him and turned over to the
county home the four children Of Mrs.
Anna Haines who have been a charge
upon the township for some time. They
are bright looking little people, cleanly
and nicely dressed.
-R. u. Gillespie of Whig Hill, has
moved to Gallon, Ohio, where he will be
employed with the Gallon Cereal Co. The
Squire has been lifelong resident Of
Kingsley township, this county, and the
many friends of himself and his estim-
able wife will be sorry to know of their
departure, but will wish them success
wherever they may locate.
1t would seem that the movement for
better roads has been given quite an i'm
petus out in Cranberry township, Venan-
go county. The Kicker says: "One of
our citizens passed the remark that the
only way to tell where the men had been
working on the road was by the egg
shells along the roadside, marking the
spot where the men ate their dinners"
The Iva Club base ball nine came up
last Saturday and!did our boys up a batch,
the game running wild for the visitors
who well nigh exhausted themselves in
chasing around the diamond. The score
stood % TO in favor of the Oil City team
at the end of the ninth inning. The
trouble with Tionesta seemed to be that
they became panic stricken at the begin
ming, thinking they were going up against
a strong nine, and they didn't recover
their nerve till near the close of the game,
when they began to pound the ball in
their old time form, and scored all their
runs in the last two innings.
Judged by the reports we get from a
perusal of some of the Titusville papers
one might think the business men of that
city had gon2 daft over prize fighting.
They call them glove contests, but are
said to be little if any short of knockout
prize fights, and the way "Kid' So-and
so isjadvertised to go up against tough
proposition in the person of Spider"
Knock-en-down at the Business Mems
Auditorium, ::savors strongly of the ac-
counts we used to read of Spanish bull
fights. 1t doesn't speak volumes for the
good morals of the Queen City by any
means.
To-day, at IL o'clock a. NJ, Rev. j,
NJ. Wonders will pronounce the words
that will unite in the bonds of matrimony
our former young townsman, Mr.. Bruce
]. Clark, and Miss Calista M. Weiser, of
Leeper, Pa. The ceremony will take place
at the home of the bride, and will be wit
messed only by the families of the young
people. Bruce is one of Tionesta's best
productions, an industrious, intelligent
and wide-awake young gentleman. His
bride is quite well known to many of
Tionesta's people as most estimable
Young lady, in every way worthy of the
excellent young gentleman whose joys as
well as sorrows of this life she has con-
i. -...I.N
seeing in the eastern cities they will be-
gin housekeeping in the thriving city of
PunNsutawney, where Bruce holds a
lucrative position, and where ha has a
domicile furnished complete for the COM
fort of himself and wife. The Rel UBLI-
CAN joins the many friends of this excel
lent young couple i'll best wishes for a
prosperous and happy future.
