-Shelt. Garfield is rejoicing these days
over an increase in his livery stock-his
faithful old mare Topsey, is the proud
mother ofa female colt. Topsy is proba-
bly, the Oldest livery horse within radius
OF many miles. She is eighteen y years old
and has been in constant livery service
for fifteen years, and is the most faithful
horse in the barn to-day. Mr.. Garfield
has figured that she mas earned aboutSll,-
600 since he has owned her. If this is true
and the colt takes after its mother, Shelf.
might as well peddle the rest of his stock
and just keep the colt and old Topsy.
DIR. j. w. Morrow, of Tionesta, acting
in the capacity of Stale quarantine officer,
by request visited Marenville one day
last week, The doctor pronounces the
cases in this place as smallpox in a light
form. He is making an effort to have
the school board of jerks organize them
selves into board of health and he will
vest them with authority to enter upon
all premises and inspect the sanitary con-
ditions and where necessity demands it
to quarantine the premises, or rather he
will place the quarantine and acting in
the capacity of the State Board will en-
force the penalty of the act for disobedi.

that all be vaccinated.- .-Marienvill Ex-

The gun club has fitted up for the
summer and will have its regulatr shoots
again. The sport has Jagged little this
season on account of the busy times, but
the spring rush being over to some ex-
tent the club members think they will
recreate little at the trap. Oil City and
| Titusville have team contest on, and
each team haying won match, the Third
and deciding contest is to come Off on
neutral grounds, and they have selected
the Tionesta field in which to pull off the
match. The date has not been decided
upon yet, but will be named shortly and
the contest come off within the next ten
days or two weeks. This will be an in
teresting exhibition, for both teams are
strong shooters, and it will be worth see-
ing.
About year ago cranky sort of am
old fellow came into this office as mad as
hornet and stopped his paper. We have
frequently met him on the street since
that time, and 1t is very amusing to note
the look of surprise on the old fellows
face that we are still in existence, regard
less of the fact that he stopped his pa
per-" Some day-and it won't be very
long, either-the poor old fellow will turn
up his toes. His spiteful old heart will
be stlled forever. Neighbors and friends
will follow his lifeless clay out to the
cemetery and lay him to rest among flow
ers. An obituary will appear in these
columns, telling what kind, good father
worthy neighbor and beloved citizen he
was-which lie the recording angel will
overlook for charty's sake-and in very
short time he will be forgotten North

Butler county oil wells produced
some wonderful stuff-stuff that would
make hair grow on a billiard ball, cure
rheumatism, make man stop drinking,
ETC., but the Sour Lake district in Texas
has us beat mile. They have we'll
there whose waters do miracles. Accord
ing to the News of that place "some of the
old Spindle Top boys, who went there
with compilations the color ofa half ripe
pumpkin, now loom up with ruddy faces
like unto a wel-fed Eng glishman, and all,
more or less, have wonderful stories TO
relate of the efficacies of the waters. One
swears they have cured him oflying (all
oil men ought to drink them if this is
true?) another had his memory restored;
another invited his mother-in-law to pay
him visit: another recovered from fin
ancial Embarrassment while another who
suffered with weak stomach swears it
can't now be turned with a monkey
wrench" - Butler Citizen. Here's a
chance for Alb. Grove and Elmer Flem-
ing: They should find out what "sand"
this oil is found in and go after it.
