In magazine form that has been issued
from that town, the Monongahela Valley
Trade Journal. The publication is up
to-date in all ways, and the people of the
thriving city of Fairmont will no doubt
show a proper appreciation of such en-
terprise.
-Notaro, one of the Italians convicted
Of murder in the first degree at the recent
term of criminal court OF Warren county,
attempted to commit suicide in the coun-
ty jail by hanging himself with belt he
Wore around his waist. One of his conf
panions discovered his intentions and
succeeded in getting him TO desist. That
is a job the Sheriff will attend to, most
likely, before long.
The Cherrytree correspondent of the
Venanago Spectator calls attention to the
fact that the location OF the first oil well
ever drilled is in Venango county and
still unmarked. 1t is also within two
But some day this matter will be made
right. Such landmark in such a busi-
ness. should be deserving Of sufficient
sentiment to provide marker.
Not the man who never made mis-
take, sprouted wings and was converted
into an angel years ago; but the man who
makes an occasional mistake, sees it, and
is honest enough to acknowledge it, has
grit and gumption enough to go ahead
and avoid making the same mistake
again, is the man who is alive and will be
found at the front. 1t is always best TO
try and avoid making mistakes. but it is
better to make mistakes than to make
nothing. Exchange.
"A brace of Meadville booze holsters
have brains. They stuffed jug with
sponges. Then they went TO liquor
dealer and asked to have the jug filed.
He acquiesced. They had no money.
After an argument he was told "to pour
it back in the barrel IL credit was not
good" This he did. Half an hour after
ward, in the shelter ofa lumber pile, the
ingenious and thirsty twain broke the
jug and squeezed two quarts of Sl.50
whisky from the sponges.
The annual commencement of the
Tionesta High School will be held Tues
day evening, April 2ith, at the Court
House, for which the program is now

The graduating class numbers twelve,
aud is as follows: Emma Arner, Maude
Garfield, Sarah Carson, Olive Childs,
Marie Dunn, Louie Foreman, Alena Ge-
row, Evelyn Grove, Lenore Riichey,
Essie Scowden, Roy Hood and George
Hunter.
Two young boys of town were ar
rested last Saturday on the charge of
stealing some boards from some piles
of lumber above the Tionests creek
bridge. The boys admitted taking the
lumber at a hearing before Squire Can
field and were bound over to the May
term 81 juvenile court in the sum of $50
each, bail being furnished. There is en-
tirely too much of this petty stealing
going on and these arrests were made
more as matter of warning that these
practices must be stopped. We urge the
boys to heed the warning or more arrests
will follow and the penalty will be severe.
Don't get discouraged though the
winds around your pathway roar. March
is an ugly, blustery month; has been so
of before. Don't say that life has lost its
charms; don't give up with the blues,
though rips are in your overcoat and
holes are in your shoes. For ice and slush
can't always last; the crows are on the
wing, and If you're patient you'll soon
hear the voice of gentle spring. The
summer will its pleasures bring, with
picnics by the score, and when the crows
assembled are, rain from the clouds will
pour. And candidates will swarm like
bees; for votes they'll beg and crave;
their song will be "Oh, vote for me and
thus your country save" So cheer up
aud be brave of heart; don't wish that
you were dead, and happiness will be
your lot ere nineteen six has fied.-

Capt. Homer McClintock, who has
been circulating among the business
people of this community for the past
week in the interest of the Oil City Der
rick, has met with good success in in
creasing the subscription list of both the
daily and Semi-Weekly Derrick. The
price of the daily has been reduced to
$500 per year, and the semi-weekly sells
for Sl,00 per year, and as special induce
ment they give with each paid-in- advance
subscription to either paper 800 Lyra
phonograph. These machines are strictly
first class and render the finest music in
loud, clear and distinct fashion. The
Daily Derrick reaches subscribers here
fully two hours ahead of any other paper
and gives subscribers the latest tele-
graphic news far in advance of all other
sources. Give Capt McClintock an au-
dience when he calls on you. There's
money in it.
1t is announced with some show of
authority that A. w. Cook, whose recent
purchase of an extensive lumber tract in
Clarion county was noted in these col
umns, is considering the advisability of
erecting branch railroad to connect with
the present branch road reaching to the
Hayes tract and which will penetrate to
the heart of his newly acquired lands, the
purpose being to haul the timber to Mr..
Cooks Brookville mill, where it will be
sawed and prepared for the market. As
