The Ridgwav Advocate has installed
a new printing press, the old machine
having gotten too slow for the rapidly
increasing subscription of that flourish
ing journal. Bro. Baker is giving the
people of Elk county the best paper they

Have you noticed that the swallows
have lett us?-we mean the little bird
swallows. This means an early fall,
accordia' to the old way of figuring
Things. Some years these pleasant little
birds stay as late as the middle of Sep
tomber, aud then we have a long stretch
of tine fall weather, but when they take
their southern flight so early as this you
may look tor trouble soon to come.
Now this may not all be true, but it won't
hurt o "watch and see, as tho weather
prophets say.
We note with some CONSERVATION that
Editor J. f.. Wenk, OF the FOREST RE-
PUBLIC y, has been having absolutely
nothing to say about big bass, buffalo
suckers and valley d pike this season.
Can it ba possible he has lost interest in
plscatorial matters, or is there nothing
doing in that line?-Puuyy Epirit. Lots
doing bat few biting, Bro. Smith. Con-
dh!ons not just right yet. When the
moons phases get jes so you'll hear from
this eud. Several eight and en-pounders
have been marked down and when some
folks are least expecting it wen lift 'em.
There is promise OF a good game of
base ball at the home grounds tomorrow,
VIII Clarendon and Ticnesta will try

side, none Jut home players being in the
game, so that the patrons ofthe sport may
look for an interesting and well contested
dlt. The game will be called at 1850 in
order to lee the visiting club return on
the afternoon train. It is hoped there
will be good turn out to see nice game
of ball.
The present cold summer brings out
scrap-b book testimony of the "cold sum
mer oflsi6," when there were ice and
snow IN April, May and June, says the
Warren Mail. July also had snow and
ice even as tar south as Virginia, and the
corn crop was destroyed. In August
there were a few warm days, but on Aug.
10th ice formed and winter clothing was
necessary. october and November were
cold and wintry, but December was mild
and gave tile most comfortable weather of
the year. So you see this years weather
isn't as bad as might be, and September
may give ms warm and pleasant weather.
The passing siding at the station here
is being extended up the river distance
