as they Drift down tie placid Allegheny.

order to come out even, and it generally
balances up all right.

Nancy G. Morrow, whose ability as a
writer of unusual merit is not unknown
to the readers of the REPUBLICAN and

The oldest of our beneficiary orders,
the Ancient Order of United Workmen,
is also among the largest. The Supreme
Recorder recently gave the total member
ship at the close of 1902 as 4j0.5l0. This
is big brotherhood. The older mem
hers, like the G. A. X. veterans, are fast
reaching the age of expectancy, but the
racks are kept well filled with new re-
cruils. The death rate during the past
year was Il "a per 1000. The order paid

last IL months.-Veuango Spectator.
With a fine flood In the river and
creek as a result of the heavy rains Of
Monday night, the lumbermen are as
happy as the farmers were when the
drouth was broken, and as they will be
again if the rain man will now take a
rest for short time to give them 6n op-
portunity to work their potatoe and corn
crops little bit. An immense amount
of stuff in the shape coal of boat bottoms
and barges is ready for the freshet, and

will mean the disbursement of several
thousand dollars in this neck o. woods.
