her daughter, Mrs. Clyde Morrison, of
Morrison hill.- Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde
| Morrison are quite delighted over their
little daughter, which came to their home

-Drayman Sharp Maxwell purchased
one day last week. He is a fine locker,
but we doubt il he will prove as satisfac-
tory to the people as the old one, for you
never had any dificuty in finding Sharp
when you wanted him-you could hear
that old horse "blow," all over town.
Frank Wiles, aged II years, and liv-
ing with his mother on Smoky Hill, two

Funeral services were held on Thursday
and the burial took place near Crown,
Clarion county, that afternoon.
j. N. Tietsworth, for many years
resident of Tionesta, died at his home in
New Kensington, Pa, Jan. l4th last. He
was aged about 70 years, and his wife and
several grown children survive him. The
news of Mr.. Tietsworth's death will be
received with sadness by many old
friends in this community where he was
for so many years a prominent and inter-
esting figure.
The Evening News, franklin cele-
DRAFTED its 25th birthday last Wedne sday
by issuing a special edition covering S2
pagesiof excellent reading matter and en-
bellished it with scoresof portraits and il
Illustrations of the cities growth and great
ness. This effort of the enterprising pub
Usher was credit to him and his able
staff. May they all live to celebrate the
papers semi-centennial.
The Savings Bank instituted by the
w. G. II, U. in the schools here received
its first deposit on Monday, amounting to
Sl962. Deposits ranged from one cent to
$500. The management hopes that par
the part of their children and induce them
to deposit rather than spend their money
for candies. When an individual deposit
amounts to $500, interest will be paid at
the rate of per cent.
Did you ever notice how some of the
real careful people, who, when purchas-
ing goods from our own reliable home
merchants, would like guarantee bond
to accompany each purchase, will readily
buy goods from travelling agents without
question, promptly accepting the word OF
entire strangers whom they never ex-
pect to see again after the sale is made?
Oh consistency thou art a whole jewel.y
store. e.-Frar kiln News.
The people of Busti, N. Y, are said
to be searching for someone who told
California Larson, a weak minded Swede
of that village, that he was suspected of
being the murderer of a character known
as the "Crazy Swede," and jokingly sc-
cused Lai son of having hidden the body.
1t is not known whether this was said as
JEST or a taunt, but Larson went home
and blew out his brains. The joker is
not known but search is being made.
ID. W. Clark was home from Grun-
dervile over Sunday, the smallpox
quarantine having been lifted from that
place by the authorities last Saturday.
Mr. Clark reports the one case, Reed
Cassat, as getting along well, and that he
is thoroughly isolated and in charge of
competent nurse. There are no evidences
of any further breaking out about the
place, and it is believed the disease will
exhaust itself with this one case. Every
body there has been vaccinated.
An effort will be made this week to
push the bill through the legislature APP
propriating $4,000 as an emergency fund
with which the State Board of Health can
fight smallpox. The disease is spreading
in this State, and it is said that during
the past year it has caused 800 deaths. In
the western part of the State it is particu
larly prevalent. While the local author
tiles are doing all they can to stamp it
out they find they cannot make much
headway unless assisted by the State.
An evidence of the thrift of the farm
ers in this section will be noted by a
glancs at the congested condition of the
Penns'y yards here. There are huge
piles of hewn railroad ties, bull. wheel
logs, piling and telegraph poles about
and nearly every avalabls foot of
space seems to be occupied by these pro-
duets, but more are coming every day.
The farmers have evidently been improv-
ing the long winter hours and inciden-
tally wrapping few more of the "long
greens" around their bank rolls.
The OIL City Blizzard, quoting an
item which appeared in this paper last
week noting the removal ofa fybroid tu-
NOR from the nose of citizen resident
near Tionesta by an Oil City doctor, re-
marks that in common fairness" the
REPUBLICAN should have named the
specialist who performed the operation.
Had the Blizsard paused TO reflect that
the item was published as a matter of To-
cal news, and not necessarily with the in
tention of conierring any free advert sing
on anyone, it might not have ielt "called
upon" to write its criticism.
A private letter from Theo. Huddle-
son, who has been located near Chelsea,
Indian Territory, for several months.
where he has charge of large block of
oil territory belonging to eastern capital
lists, states that they were having the first
blizzard of the season on the 18th inst.
