The Pleasantville ball tossers must
be afraid of our own. They gave our
boys Sl8 expense money for their recent
game at Pleasantville and when asked for
a return game here last Saturday put up
bluff tor $50 guarantee. Come on,
boys. Our people would like to see the
game and how you did it.

"A notable feature of recent years in
the General Program of the Chautauqua
Assembly at Chsutauqua, New York. has
been the series of reading hours at five
o'clock in the Hall in the Grove. Among
the favorites who appear in this hour is
Professor S. II. Clark of the University
of Chicago and the Chautauqus School OF
Expression. HIS five readings this year
will be chosen from "Silas Marner," on
the afternoons of July 1920.
S. S. Garfield, whose serious illness
was noted in these columns two weeks
ago, has held his own remarkably well
since then. On Thursday last his ply
sicians, DR.. Sggins, of Oil City, and DR..
Bovard, of Tionesta, operated upon him,
relieving him of more than two gallons
of pus that had formed in his side from
stone in the kidney, from which he is
suffering. This operation gave him great
relief from suffering and he has rested
quite we'll SINCE
Aside from rattling good game OF
ball-in which our side won-there was
nothing doing out of the ordinary In
Tionesta on the Fourth, and the day
passed off in quiet, safe and sane man
ner, the usual noise aud annoyance being
conspicuous by its absence. How much
better thus than to stir up great hula
baloo with its attendant rowdyism and
casualties which often reach the magni-
tude of caamities. Give us the sensible
Fourth OF July celebration every time.
The last issue OF the Marienville Ex-
press announced the retirement OF ). L..
Pickens from the firm of Pickens Bros,
and the taking over of the plant by W..
II. Pickens, who will conduct the future
destiny of the paper. We understand
Sam has acquired partnership in the
plant of the Clarion Republican and will
devote his energies toward the successful
conduct of that enterprising journal. Our
best wish for abundant success is extend
ed to both Sam and Will in the new deal.
May both prosper and wax fat in wealth,
health and happiness.
An important deal in oil land was
consummated last week when Messrs. j.
f. Proper and l.. ]. Hopkins disposed OF
their lease located in the Stewart Run
district, and which includes in part the
well-known Joslyn farm, the whole con-
sisting of something over 500 acres, on
which are 81 producing wells. The
purchaser is d. w. Brinton, of Pittsburg,
we'll known among the operators of the
: oil regions of this section. We bear the
consideration was something like SIS, 600.
We also understand it Is Mr.. Brinton's
intention to locate in Tionesta.

Y had his right arm broken in three places
: below the elbow. He was rendered un'
r conscious by the injuries and for time
