Attention is directed to the ad. of the
Hobart NJ. Cable Co., makers ofthe world
famed Burdett Organ, which will be
found on the fourth page of this paper.
There is no finer organ in The world to-
day than the Burdett, and the easy terms
which this firm is prepared TO give pur-
chasers are worth considering by all who
have in mind the adding of an organ to
their household equipment this season.
"A young man who had not been
many years Benedict carefully laid
aside piece Of bread the other night and
said to his wife: 81 wish you could make
such bread as mother used to make"
The young wife smiled and remarked in
voice that did not tremble: "Well, jim,
/ wish thai you could make the dough

dough question hasn't come up for family

-Tionesta is in danger of losing for
time at least, couple of its desirable cit
liens in the near future If present ar
rangements made by them require their
absence. Messrs. II. NJ. Herman and r.
l.. haslet have secured the agency of the
Wilton Gas Light for the States of Illi-
pois and Indiana, and they will go there
to look after the sale of this now famous
burner and establish sub-agencies. Mr..
Herman left yesterday, and Mr.. Haslet
expects to follow next week. We wish
the gentlemen success but would be sor-
ry TO lose them as permanent residents of
our town should such be deemed neces-
sary.
