All Halloween occurs next Tuesday
Dight, and the occasion is one that is often
more honored in the breach than in its
observance, leastwise the pranks perpe-
trated on that night are generally nearer
the mark of vandalism than sport. 1t is
called to mind also that in this borough
there Is strict ordinance against the
depredations usually committed on hal
lowe'en, and the provisions Of this en-
actment are liable to be invoked against
| offenders.
g. w. Osgood will please accept the
thanks of the editor and family for good
supply OF the incest wild honey we've
tasted for many day. George is an ex-
pert bee hunter and finds much pleasure
in coursing the busy bee. Thus far this
| season he has put his private mark on
nine trees, a number of which he has not
yet taken up. In one tree he found over
so pounds last week. Wild honey has
the domestic article beaten mile in de-
liciousness of flavor.
Fred. Carson made trip from West
Bickory to Tionesta Friday in his new
boat which he has rugged up with gaso-
line engine, propeller, ETC., and which
skins along at lively speed over swift
rifles as well as dead eddies. The boat
is one of Fred's own manufacture, and
the little horse-and-a-half engine was set
up by him and attached to the screw pro-
-peller, all of which works like charm
the finest lake launches.
