sleighing would be fine. Out on the hills
the snow was blown off the roads by the
high winds, and in many places the
the ground is almost bare.

Because of the growing scarcity of
timber, matches are now being made of
paper, rolled spirally and dipped in wax
or stearine, which prevents unrolling
and gives rigidity. The roll is cut into
lengths, which are then dipped in the
phosphorous composition. The matches
are said to burn well.
Ed. Kser, who derives nice revenue
from the oil produced on his farm, To-
Gated in the German Hill field, had the
misfortune to lose his power-house by
fire recently, entaling loss of about
$500, besides the shutting down of pump
ing operations for nearly month. The
cause of the fire is inexplicable, there
being no one near when it was discov-
cred, about six o'clock in the evening.
The Meadville Commercial college
reopened January Sth, 1906, after two
weeks vacation. The college is having a
very successful year and the quality of
work being done is entirely satisfactory
to both teachers and students. There is
an exceptional demand for young men
and women having thorough business
education, and this line of work is wor-
thy the attention of all who expect to
enter the business world. Students are
received at this well known school at any
time. Circulars sent on application.
Funeral services over the remains OF
Albert Near, one of the unfortunate VIC
Tins of the wreck near Spring Creek, on
the P. & E. railroad, were held in the
Lutheran church, at Newmansville, yes
Calhoun, of Tionesta, conducting the
services. The sad occasion brought to-
gether large assembly of the friends OF
the unfortunate man, and very many eX-
pressons of sympathy for the relatives
of the deceased were heard ON all sides,
and the funeral was a sad one indeed.
Now that we have fair run OF
sleighing it is likely some of you will
want nice new turnout, for, according
to the prophets we're to have some snug
winter weather from this on, and to know
where to get the best for the least money
is quite an object. j. G. Scowden has
number of very handsome cutters on
hand that will go to the first customers a
almost cost, and it will be well to consul
him early as the stock will not last Ions
at the price he has put upon them. Don
delay aud then kick yourself because yo'
missed bargain.
