The County Commissioners have
elected Samuel T. Carson, of Harmony
township, as their Clerk for the unexpir-

who naturally chose one of their political
faith for the position, and have made a
very good selection. Mr.. Carson is thor

One of the neat, new, well kept and
scrupulously clean places of business in
Tionesta is the general grocery store lately
opened by Garfield Grove on Elm, just
above Bridge street. Since opening his
place Garfield has done nice business in
his line, which covers everything usually
kept in an up-to-date grocery store, be-
sides handling everything in fresh yege-
tables, fruits, confectionery, cigars, tobac-
co, etc. Everything about his premises
is strictly fresh, and as bright as a new
pin. 1t must be borne in mind, however,
that nothing but the cash goes, and on
this account you get the benefit of low
prices. You are cordially invited to call.
