"A postal card from G. r. Main, I'll
tuSville, asks us to state that the Oak
dale club of that city will play any foot
ball team whose average weight is not
over 145 pounds, theirs being 1884. We
cheerfully give the information, but have
some doubts about the Titusville team
getting a game from this place as we have
the first football game yet to see in Tio-
nesta, although we have no doubt our
athletes could scrape together enough
material to "do' most anything from any
Of the surrounding towns-barring the
all of Franklin, perhaps-and if the
boys rave a mind to take up the chal-
lenge of these frisky Titusvillians we'll
be willing to donate the advertising to
make the thing a success.
While returning from a trip in the
country with one of Canield's livery rigs
at a late hour on Tuesday night of last
week. Charles Hunter had quite an ex-
citing experience at the upper end ofOld-
town flats. The night was quite dark,
and while the horses were jogging along
at a fair rate some one sprang from the
oiAa ~ tla road arA Urahhal nna nf tha
horses by the reins and tried to stop the
team. Charlie gave the horse a cut with
the whip and the %would-be highwsyman
was thrown some distance. About the
time the fellow had time TO gather him
self up Charlie distinctly heard two shots
fired, but if pointed at him they went
wide OF the mark, for no evidence of bull
let holes we're found about the rig when
he got into the barn here.
Here's the differ ence: If an editor
makes a mistake he has to apologize for
it, but if a doctor makes one he buries it.
If the editor makes one there is lawsuit,
swearing and a smell of sulphur, but if
the doctor makes one there is a funeral,
cut flowers and a smell of varnish. The
doctor can use a word a yard long with
out knowing what it means, but if the
editor uses it he has TO spell it. If the
doctor goes to see another mans wife he
charges for the visit, but if the editor goes
to see another mans wife he gets a charge
of buckshot. Any old medical college
can make a doctor, but can't make an
editor. He has to be born. When a doc
tor gets drunk it's a case of overcome by
heat, and if he dies it is heart trouble;
when an editor gets drunk it's a case of
too much hooze, and if he dies it's a case
of delerium tremens.
Last. Friday Constable Maxwell
picked up three tramps on the West Side
and brought them before Squire Setley
on a charge of vagrancy. Two of them
were easily found guilty, but the third
proved his innocense by producing a wad
of "ilthy lucre" amounting to the net
sum of 81. so, and he was discharged, the
remaining two being sentenced to a 80
day s%oiourn in the county bastile. Had
the Squire thought TO give them thirty
minutes to shake the borough mud from
Oft their sandals he would have probably
hit the nail more squarely on the head.
but as he didn't the county commission
ers asked the court to "give them a walk"
which it did, and the hobos were not long
in taking the hint. The average tramp
figures that he has struck a real soiree
when he falls into a few days boarding
with the high sheriff of a county.
The trouble caused the spectators and
others by the recent fatal boxing contest
at Franklin, has resulted in people look
