The Jefferson county Republican pri-
maries held last Saturday were the hot
test the county has experienced in many
years, the contest centering on the judge
ship fight, between the present incum-
bent, Hon. John w. Reed and Attorney
Edward Carmalt, Judge Reed being
nominated by majority of over $500.
Evidently the Judge and his friends were
worse scared than hurt,

didate for supreme Judge, the vacancy

out opposition.
Not line or word has the Titusville
Herald seen fit to give on the ball game
played here Saturday between the S. Il
M. team of that place and the locals, in
which the former got good drubbing.
For paper that is making such stren-
uous efforts to solidify itself with the
people of this vicinity such a snub and
treatment of an institution
in which most OF our citizens feel pride,
comes with mighty poor grace. AS a
matter OF news the Herald ought to give
the result of the game, even if it should
be impelled to sneeringly allude to our
crack ball team as "backw kwoodsmen."
Very timely are the following inter-
rogstories from the Oil City Blizzard, but
will they be needed? as it worth while
to save the lives of several hundred chill
dren2 Is it worth while to prevent
thousands of accidents by which eyes
are blown out, arms are torn from their
hands are incurably manned or
fingers lacerated until they are forever
useless2 Is it worth while to prevent
serious cases of lockjaw and to cut down
a list of fatalities that is shocking to con-
in advance, or to experience
with unspeakable grief when it is too
late to take measures against themY
Think it over. The Fourth of July is
only few weeks away"
Yesterday the drive belt in James
Whitman's shingle mill, at Endeavor,
broke, and in turn broke the governor
belt. This allowed the engine to run
Wild" aud before the engineer could stop
1t the large drive wheel flew to pieces,
and in second later the entire engine
was total wreck, the pieces being
hurled in every direction. Five men
were at work on the mill at the time,
and strange to say not one was seriously
injured. Engineer Smith was struck by
one of the flying missiles but was not
badly hurt. A lucky escape for all con-
cerned. The Georgia IL Aylesworth band
mill at Endeavor will start in on the "day
and night" run this week, which looks
like business in that quarter.
Not until one leaves home does he
really appreciate the value of his home
paper. Distance lends enchantment is
truly proven in this case. When a man
pulls up stakes and shakes the dust from
his old home from his shoes to seek pas
lures new he naturally has a hankering
10 know what is going on in his old
home. 1t is then he appreciates the home
paper that had always made weekly Yis-
its to his home, but which he had hereto
fore looked upon as mere circumstance
in the whirlpool of life. Its weekly visits
to those who are abroad are like a spring
shower upon the psrched fields. The
and actions of those whom
we had left behind is ever of interest and
we are delighted in reading about our
Dne-time neighbors. Truly the home pa
per is not really appreciated until we get
where it is hard to get.-EX.
Frank Matha. aged q years. and
whose parents reside near Tylersburg,
was instantly killed in the lumber woods
On Coon creek, in Green township, last
morning. He was engaged
with others in peeling bark, and at the
time of the accident they were telling a
tree. In falling the tree knocked a dead
limb off another tree which struck the
young man squarely OH top of the head.
Mr.. Dewoody, the jobber, was near by
and was first to reach him. All possible
assistance was rendered. but the young
man showed no sign of life after being
struck, and strange to say the skin was
not even broken. but it is evident the
skull was crushed. The body was pre-
pared for burial, and taken to the home of
Matthias parents at Tylersburg, where the
funeral was held on Saturday. He was
a young man of industrious habits, and
well liked by his companions and ac
