shock following an accident which he
met with on Saturday previous. he at
tempted to cross in front of train on the
Tionesta Valley railroad at Sheffield and
was knocked down and his leg badly
mangled, also suffering internal mi uries.
C. r. Bowman, Clarion county's gen.
ial and efficient Sheriff. passed through
town yesterday having in charge Mrs.
Catherine Slike, of near Fryburg, whose
mind had lately become affected, and
whom hewas conveying to the State Hos
pital at North Warren. Charley was
looking unusually well, as though the
burdens of Office sat lightly upon his
broad shoulders.
"A new game, said to beat 'em ALL has
cropped out. 1t is called "Tickle the
Editor" and is as follows: Take sheet
of ordinary writing paper, fold it nicely,
enclose banknote sufficiently large
enough to pay all arrears and year in
advance and hand it to the editor. Keep
an eye on him and if q smile adorns his
face the trick works fine. Now is the
time to play the joke. 1t beats "iinch"
aud "pit" all hollow.
This story from Kansas would do
credit to the pen of the Cory liar, says
an exchange: A farmer out near Delphos
has remarkably luxuriant growth of
whiskers. Recently, while working the
fields, swarm of bees came along and
settled in this growth. The farmer sat
down and remained quiet. When all the
bees had settled in his beard he slowly
arose, walked home, and, with the assist
ance of others, hived the buzzers.
According to the Derrick $ September
oil report S6S wells were completed in the
Pennsylvania field during the month,
with l07S rigs and drilling wells, gain
of six wells aud loss of 1929 barrels of
new production oyer the August report.
There was also decline of SO in new
work. Thus 1t will be seen that while
there were more wells completed there
was considerable loss in new produc-
tion, indicating that the wells we're either
lighter in production or there were more
dry holes.
Since the chestnut timber and bark
has become feature of the tanning bus
mess, and is being largely used for that
purpose and eagerly sought after by the
tanneries, the timber has raised wonder
fully in value, being picked up by large
and small spectators in every section.
Farmers having chestnut timber on their
premises should consider themselves
fortunate, for an acre of land containing
chestnut trees is often more valuable
than all the rest of the farm put together.
1t will be well for them to look into the
matter before selling their timber to al
low some one else to speculate upon.
Young saplngs are good as old trees and
rapidly grow into money if left standing.
Take good care OF your chestnut.
We are III no way anxious to get rid
of any Of our young ladies, land by-the-
way. Tionests has scores of them, hand
some and bright yet here is an interest
ing tip from letter written by Alfred
Truman, of Jefferson county, who with
his wife is enjoying a trip through the
Yellowstone country, Wyoming, that may
set some of our sweet Misses a-thinking:
1--WE were shown the homes to-day of
young and thrifty ranchers; young men
who were living the lives of bachelors
because of an insufficiency of young la
dies in the country. l suggested that a
few thousand girls be imported from our
locality in Pennsylvania to meet the
wants of these young men, and friend
assured us that the school teachers who
come from the East to teach school very
quickly become the wives OF Western
men,"
MIR. and Mrs. Gus B. Evans, of Eh-
deavor, returned last week from most
delightful outing in the Georgian Bay
Canada, where they spent three
weeks, accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. p.
Il. Brenneshotz, of Buffalo. Their camp
was located II miles from Parry Sound
and they had the pleasure of fishing on
eleven different lakes, the meniolk car
rying the light boats from one lake to the |
other. Mr.. Evans description of their
trip and success with the rod and line is |
calculated to make ones mouth water.
They caught an everage of Al bass day, |
and 4-pounders. and about as gamey as
our Allegheny river kind. A number of |
pike weighing from TO IL pounds were
also taken, and in this delicious sport the
ladies' Jared fully as well as the men in
landing the big fish. and they were per-
mitted TO bring number of their finest
catches home with them.
1T will please whole lot Of his For
est county friends to learn that Mr. oliver
Byerly, of Ostrander, WASH, has been
nominated by the Republicans of his
county for Representative in the General
Assembly of that State, with every pros
pect of election at the coming November |
contest. Mr.. Byerly served a term as
of Forest county and left
record for strict honesty and close atten
ton to the duties of the Office that has
rarely been equaled, and his people in
the far west will find in hima representa-
tive of whom they may be proud. The
of Cowlitz county are to be |
on their choice of a candi-
date for that important office, and when he
has served them term they will have no
occasion to regret their choice. The RE-
PUBLICAN hopes and expects to hear of
its old friends triumphant election on
the Sth day of next month.
