Another well has been started on the

four hundred feet in advance of the one
Just completed, which is good for about
eight barrels natural, and there is every
prospect of nice field being opened in
that vicinity. Mr.. Carson and son, Sam
T., are the operators, and they have over
a hundred acres of undeveloped territory
most of which is expected to pan out all
right.
-Liveryman Urey is lsmenting the
fact that he permitted himself to part

horse that could go down the pike with
the best of them, taking no fellows dust
The purchaser was V. j. Stoltz, proprie-
tor of the Central Hotel at Carrolltown,
Cambria county, Pa, who drove the fine
roadster away with good deal of satis-
faction.
The GLORIOUS Fourth" is not far
away, and an exchange calls the attention
of dealers in fireworks to the provisions
of the law of this State which forbids the
sale or use of dynamite crackers, paper
caps, the deadly toy pistol and certain
other forms of noise makers, and 1t ad-
vises them not to buy any of these unlaw-
ful goods. That is excellent advice. II
any dealer declines to accept it and gets
into trouble the fault will be his alone.

John N. Rathfon had the misfortune
to get the tips of the first and second fin
gers of his left hand nipped off by the
"slasher" saw on the mill at Nebraska
last Friday. DR.. Dunn dressed the in

psted Mr.. Rathton has had his full
share of mill accidents, having suffered a
severe fracture of the jaw bone several
years ago, and later had the fingers of
his right hand sawed off at the second
joint, but he still makes full hand on
the average sawmill.

Our exchanges are warning the wom-
en- to be on the lookout for slick young
man who visits the homes and displays a
sample of a shirt waist which he claims
to give with an order of toilet soap of
81. 90. The shirt waist is all right and
worth twice as much as the soap, but it
will not be delivered until May 10th, or
whatever date the young man may set.
In the meantime he requests payment
of fifty cents as guarantee of good faith
on the part of the good housewife, and if
che bites that's the last she sees of afore-
said young man and the fifty cents-it's
gone, never never to return. It's slick
game and one that gives the worker a
good income.
