the finishing touches, the finer coating of
limestone having been applied, and the
big steam roller is smoothing the surface,
making a thoroughfsre as beautiful as
asphaltum pavement. With proper care
the road should be as good as now fifty
years hence, but II neglected it won't last
three.
Small fruits are coming into favor
more generally in all of the cultivated
sections. Every year adds new chapters
to the pages of success from small tracts
planted to fruit trees and vines. More
farmers are being converted to the doc
trine of intensive soil cultivation. The
tillers of the soil are gradually passing
the old methods of general farming to the
seekers of ancient souvenirs and adopting
plans that insure financial prosperity.
Ted Joyce, who Is employed with
his father in the building of the stone
work OF the new railroad bridge at Ne
braska, met with an accident which Is
likely to lay him off for several weeks.
A stone weighing fully two tons fell on
his right foot last Friday, crushing 1t
badly. The soft clay OH which Ted was
standing alone saved him much worse
injury. DR.. Siggins performed the nee
essary surgery and made Edward as
comfortable as possible under the cir
cumstances.
Other communities have the same
trouble. Here's what the Warren Mirror
says of them: A person not in position
to know would be surprised TO learn the
amount of money that goes out of Warren
monthly TO the various associations whose
plan it is to pay two for one on all monies
paid in. There are at least a half dozen
such companies doing business here who
have active representatives and for the
past two or three years all have been con-
Quoting an active and successful COM
paign for new memberships. Many
thousands of dollars is sent TO the head
quarters of these concerns annually from
Warren and vicinity.
No story illustrates the curious mix
ture of associated ideas better than the
following; / asked small boy one day
after long and labored Scripture lesson,
"What did Peter do to prove that he was
pentients" Up rose dozen hands, and l
selected one. 'Please, teacher" came
breatblessly, "he crowed three timesp
Another time was explaining about the
gathering of the mama in the wilderness
and how the Isrealites had to collect a
double quantity on the Saturday so as to
last over Sunday. But it," / pointed
out, "they gathered enough for two days
on the Monday, the heavenly food would
be unfit to eat on the Tuesday" A little
girl of five was deeply interested, and
anxiously asked. "But teacher, s'pos'n
that Toosday was Wsshin'tons buriday?"

The Pennsylvania State Sabbath
School Association, with headquarters in
the city of Philadelphia, is one of the
greatest, ii not the greatest organization
of Christian workers in the State. Its
annual conventions bring together
larger number of delegates than any
other religious organization. With aux
iliary associations in all of the sixty-seven
counties and these subdivided into dis
trict associations, 1t has a system of or
ganization that carries its benefits to every
local school no matter where it is located
This vast organization will hold its Forty
third Annual Convention in the city of
Uniontown, Fayette county, October o,
10 and IL, 1907. The Forest County AS
sociation is entitled to 10 delegates. Gre
dental cards emitting holders to reduced
rates on all railroads and special enter
tainment rates at Uniontown can be
secured from Rev. H. A. Bailey, the
County Corresponding Secretary, Tio-
nesta, Pa.
old time employees declare that there
was never year in the history of the W..
N. p. Il p. or its successor the p. r. r.,
when the freight business between here
and Olean ever approached its present
magnitude at this time of the year. There
are II trains running each way daily be-
tween here and 0lean, each carrying about
q, 900 tons, most of it coal and coke for
Buffalo and Canadian points. This has
been going on for weeks, and there seems
to be no indication of any decrease in the
business. On the contrary, Superinten-
tendent Beale and his able assistants are
planning for even more traffic as the win
ter approaches, and will be ready for it.
One of the preparations is the resumption
of the coal dock service at Hemlock, near
Warren. The docks are large enough to
permit two engines to be coaled at one
time and necessary for the smaller en-
gines whose tenders will not carry enough
coal to last them between Oil City and
Olean. There are "A crews of five men
each on this one run alone, all of which
tends to indicate that it is good for COM
munity to have sin its midst as import
ant an institution as terminal OF the P.

Isaac Mccoy, of the firm of Potter q
Mccoy, liverymen of this place, was
made the victim of most vicious assault
last Thursday evening as he was driving
a two-seated rig home from Oil City. He
reached Housewife about four o'clock
and had stopped to take Daniel Donovan
in with him, when he was accosted by a
stranger, who called him Erred" and
asked how much he would charge to take
his wife and himself to Plumer, which
