Were the newspapers to publish all
the stories which come to them, through
the instrumentality of anonymous com
munications and otherwise, there would
be something doing in social circles all
tho time. While the newspaper men are
frequently denounced for their acts OF
commission, they are seldom commended
Tor their considerate omissions. SANDY

r. freight conductor, had his left leg badly
crushed below the knee Tuesday OF last

the caboose was derailed by the ice COW

There are so many excellent invest
ments for surplus cash that it is strange
how frequently people are argued into
buying stock or other so-called securities
that are worthless. There are people who
would scorn 10 purchase real estate, pre-
ferring to put their sayings into imagi-
nary mining ventures, fake oil companies
or dirigibe balloon stock. The average
man with 81 900 should petition for ?
guardian, thinks The TitusYille Herald.
Many a young man who complains
that he earns small wages could train
his mind till he could earn far more il
he would swear off on card playing and
devote his time as far as possible TO
study of books that would inform him
as to the science of his work, or, if that
is not possible, would devote himself TO
! improving his education in some partic-
ular line of effort which he thinks he
would like TO take up.-Franklin News.
The Franklin Evening News was "
years of age last Friday. During all
these years the paper has been under the
management of editor James b. Borland.
As mark of his ability, pluck and
clear-headed direction, Mr.. Borland
needs no other monument than that
which is evidenced by the splendid
standing which the News has attained
and holds in the estimation of the public
to-day Continued success and many
happy years to you and your associates,
dear Jim.
One of Liverymau Canfield's horses
took fright at some object near the west
end of the Hickory river bridge last
Thursday and. throwing the driver out,
proceeded to speed up ior spin home.
When the animal reached the county
home she had freed herself OF the cutter
and was caught with only the thills
hanging to the harness. No other dam
age was done, and the man who said
Canfeld's horses were like Irish game
cocks, and "woud die before they would
run" has another guess coming
BY reference to notice published in
this issue it will be seen there is to be
no Jury court next week, all jurors hav-
ing notice not to appear as such. This is
getting to be such common affair in our
county that it fails to elicit comment.
The November term of court resulted in
the same manner, and yet there are but
one or two prisoners in the custody OF
Sheriff Noblit awaiting trial, and they
for such trivial ofienses as scarcely to be
worth mentioning. The civil list, con-
tanning six causes, has been continued 10
the May term.
H. r. Forbes, a p. Il. h. brakeman,
whose home is at Warren, but who makes
Oil City his headquarters, had his right
hand caught and badly crushed between
the bumpers of north-bound freight
here Sunday afternoon. The other men,
bers OF the crew brought the injured man
to the office of the company surgeon, DR..
Bovard, who found it necessary to ampu-
tate the small finger, part of the bone in
the hand being removed with the finger
The third finger was also badly lacer-
ated but was saved. Mr.. Forbes re-
turned to Oil City Sunday evening.
The annual scarecrows are early on
the wing this season predicting ali sorts
of dire disasters when the breakup comes
this spring. Should the present great
body OF snow be taken off with sudden
rain, while the heavy ice is still solid on
the river and creeks, etc., and so on, then
look out Well. why not look on the
other side? Should the breakup come
