hands while starting a gas engine last
Saturday.
A year-old chil1 of Andrew Wolf,
of Tionesta twp, was so badly scalded
Monday that it is feared it cannot recover.
A member of the household was scrub
bine aud the child walking backward fell
into the tub of scalding water.
Notwithstanding that it showed on
the first day of May we still maintain,
from other signs, that spring and summer
are here. The swallows, orioles, singing
toads and all that sort of birds have put
in their appearance, and soon we will
hear the chirp of the whippoorwill, and
that will settle it. Oh, springs here
all right enough.
The entertainment at the court house
next Tuesday evening will be fine one.
Besides Major Hendershot and Son, the

good treat is in store for those who come
out. The court room should be filled to
overflowing. General admission 25c.
Children l5c. Reserved seats 35c.
Still another kind of permanent side
walk is getting its first introduction into
our "city OF fine walks" Messrs. Lam
ders, Grove, Bowman, Foreman and
Proper, in the north ward will put down
stretch of several rods of brick walk
fronting their properties. Good thing,
but the brick should have been made
right here in Tionesta, where we have the
best shale in the world, and they will be
some day.
"A new wrinkle in lighting cigar or
pipe in wind storm that will appeal to
smokers has been introduced by an Oil
City man. When the wind is too high 10
permit match to burn in the open air he
takes an envelope, tears off the end,
squeezes 1t into cup shape, lights the
match, puts it inside the cup, and there
you are. The wind don't reach it and
the match burns until the cigar is per-
iectly lighted.
The first annual banquet of the Tio-
nesta High School Alumni, given in the
A. o. U. w. hall last Wednesday evening,
was an occasion long to be remembered
by those fortunate enough to be present.
Covers were laid for upward of a hun
dred guests and every table was occupied.
The menu was elegant, being in charge
of the ladies of the w. r. c., which means
that there was nothing lacking to make it
complete. Attorney A. G. Brown, acting
in the capacity of toastmaster, got many
excellent responses to the varied subjects
which he propounded to the speakers,
and many very pretty, "as well as use
full and ornamental" things were said
during the evening. The alumni is to be
warmly congratulated on the great sue
cess Of its first banquet.
"A visit to the dental parlors of DIR. f.
S. Hunter, in the Citizens National Bank
building, discloses the fact that Tionesta
has something in this line to be proud of.
Since moving into these pleasantly locat-
ed rooms DR.. Hunter has added new
equipment to his dental outfit until he
now has as modern an establishment as
can be found in western Pennsylvania.
Among the new additions is a fountain
cuspidor and automatic saliva extractor; /;
also an outfit for doing the new porcel-
lain work that is rapidly taking the place
of gold filling. All this new equipment
is the most modern and the best to he
had, and combined with DR., Hunters
we'll known skill as dentist, gives the
people of Tionesta and vicinity an oppor-
tunity to have dental work done at home
just as well as it can be done anywhere,
and the amount of work done by DIR.
Hunter evidences the fact that the people
are aware of this.
