1t Is evident that Tionesta is to have
"run of measles, several of the school
children being now out on enforced va
cations nursing mess of the annoying
disease. Measles should be treated SEN
siby, for they won't stand fooling with.
Keep the little folks in and avoid chances

1t is said a petition will be presented
TO the next legislature asking that boly
to pass an act making II a misdemeanor
to offer prizes at card parties. The per-
sons circulating the petition allege that
the practice of giving prizes and one
woman trying to eclipse her neighbor
in the beauty and cost of them is leading
to great extravaganza and is becoming a
serious drain on pockethooks. besides
developing a craze for gambling among
the women. This will be another al
tempt to legislate people into honesty,
which may and NAV not be a popular
move.
Some light-ingered gent entered the
billiard room and shaving parlor presid-
ed over by the atiable James Buxton one
day last week and relieved the till of about
$50 in nickles. The trick was done while
James was Temporarily absent, having
just stepped over to the telephone booth,
next door, for a moment, and he is at a
loss to know whether the fellow calculat-
ed he was busting the slot machine or
robbing MI. Buxton, but the Dckles be-
longed wholly to James and the loss falls
upon him direct and with somewhat of
a dull thud, too, for $50 are not made in
minute in barber shop.
A Lawrence county man is going into
the business of raising ginseng. lie al
ready has between 5000 and 1900 plants
well started on his farm. This is some
thing new, 'urely, and will strike old
ginseng hunters, who are accustomed to
look only in the densst hemlock forest
for this valuable root as quite novel. The
experiment will be watched with no lit
tie concern by the old timers, who will
view with alarm the growth of this new
industry that will mean the practical
ofa source of revenue Il at
brings as much pleasure as the trapping
of otter, muskIats and skinks.
The following from an exchange fits
the columns of every local newspaper:
There never was paper in any locality
that gave all the local news. 1t is often
that some person comes and goes that
the editor does not see. 1t happens that
family is missed several times. They
get the impression that the paper does
not care to mention them or has a grudge
against them. 1t is mistake. The paper
has no III feeling, no spite, no enmity
against anybody. Most people take the
local paper. Don't be afraid to give the
editor news of interest. Pc; haps you
think the paper has shown partiality, put
Try aud see il it doesn't treat you wei if
given a shance."
The borough council is anxious to
have property owners understand that

hereafter a shoveler will be employed to |
lelp those out who refuse OF neglect TO |
ielp the emselves, and that at the expense
If the owners of property. To be fore
warned is TO be forearmed-with a snow
hovel-so get hustle on.
