day of attonement. the most holy day
known to Hebrew faith. 1t began at
sundown yesterday and continues until
sundown this evening. There will be
solemn services commemorative of the
day, and all of the stores and places of
business Of Hebrews will be closed all
day. This day is observed alike by re-
formed and orthodox and no work is
done upon this occasion.
"A company composed of Walter Cow
an, II. L. and OFT Dale, of Oil City, and
Charles Carnahan, of Tidioute, has leased
large tract of land bordering the Allie
gheny river aud running back over the
hill near the Hopkins farm three miles
north of Tionesta, and have rig on the
ground for we'll which will be located
on the old Jesse Dale farm near the river.
Operations will probably begin this week.
Frank Birtcel and partner have the drill
ing contract.
When town fellow visits country
home, and they sit him down to a table
laden with hickory wood smoked ham
as sweet as nectar, fried eggs fresh from
the chicken factory, home made bread,
butter churned before break fast, milk
and cream that never saw chalk water,
with score of sweetmeats and pastries
and fruits, and then apologize to him
for not having something TO eat, he can
not help but wonder what they do have
when they are expecting company.
The compulsory education law is
being en- forced in Tionests, and Sheriff
Stroup, the truant officer, has been COM
PEELED to march few of the boys up the
hill. 1t might be well for the children,
and the parents as well, to remember
that the school board isn't enforcing the
law simply because they have the power,
but for the future good of the children.
In our humble opinion this is one of the
best laws on the books and ought to re-
ceive the support of all right.thinking
people.
The we'll drilled by W. P. Black on
the VIM. Huddleson farm, near the
mouth of Little Hickory creek, was fn-
ished Saturday and is reported to have
made a fine showing for a producer. The
we'll was drilled 90 feet into the third
sand and the hole is said to have filled up
oyer 100 feet with oil. Several wells
drilled in that vicinity some years ago
proved to be very erratitic after making
fine showing, so just what sort OF
producer this well will prove TO be will
remain for the pumping operations to
demonstrate. Operations Oh this we'll
are suspended pending Mr.. Blacks re-
turn from Indiana, where he went to
look after 200 barrel we'll drilled in last
week on one of his leases in that state.
1t is with profound regret that we
announce the departure of L. Fulton
from Tionesta, where he has for more
than 26 years been established in the
harness and saddlery business. Mr..
Fulton decided on making a change
some time ago and on Saturday last left
for Danbury, Connecticut, where he ex-
poets to locate. Mrs. Fulton will join
her husband there in short time. Tio;
nesta sustains decided loss in the de-
parture of Mr.. Fulton, not alone as a
worthy citizen, but useful one to the
community, which can not we'll spare
such, and he will be greatly missed by
all our people. While regretting deeply
his departure our citizens will wish him
abundant success in whatever community
he may cast his lot
