If you are intending to do papering
this spring it will more than pay you to
consult George 1. Davis, the artistic
painter and paper hanger. He has rented
the room formerly occupied by f. T..
Dick as a tailor shop, and has in stock a
line of wall and ceiling papers the like
of which has meyer been seen in Tionesta.
Look over his stock, or ask him to call at
your house and submit his fine line of
samples. His phone is No. 36. See his

-Governor Pennypacker has vetoed
the Lewis and Clark exposition junket
resolution, passed 10y the legislature, and
carrying an appropriation of 100000 for
personal expenses of members attending.
This seems like an enormous bill OF ex-
penses, but as the exposition takes place
way out in Oregon, and the "railroaa
fare" for members of the legislature
would be heavy it was perhaps necessary
to make the appropriation extra large, as
the tired legislators could not be expected
to walk the whole distance.
Mr.. George Walton, who lived near
Gilfoyle, died very suddenly last Sunday
and inflammation of the lungs. He was

period from the early oil excitement on
Oil Creek down to the present day. He

Looking back ward just 20 years next
Friday. st. Patrick's Day, we find the
| following item in the REPUBLICAN,:
Mote it down-St. Patrick's Day in the
morning, 1885, thermometer fourteen de-
grees below zero. Ice in the river any
where from one and half to six feet
thick" And one week later in the same
year this one: "The coolest night of this
winter was last Friday night, Goth, or
first day of spring, the thermometer reg
istering % degrees below zero" In that
year, 1885, the ice in the river went out
on the second day of April. This bit of
history is not so ancient but that it might
repeat itself without much effort.
The Joshua Simpkins" company,
