The annual Sunday School Conven-

nesta, June II and IS. Delegates from
every Sunday school in the county are
expected. A most interesting and help
ful program is already formulated, and it
abounds with excellent addresses by en-

various parts of the county and elsewhere.

tend. You will enjoy it.
Governor Stuart has approved bill
to permit children who reside two miles
or more by public road from the nearest
school house in their own district to at
tend any more convenient school in an
other district without the consent of the
directors of either district, and making
the district where they reside liable for
the cost of tuition to the district where
they attend. The new law will end the
frequent controversies between school
boards over the question.
Honest work manship, good material
and fair dealing will tell every time, and
reputation good or bad, is likely to follow
one or extend to great distances. Last
week j. Q. Scowden shipped one of his
superior wagons to Bigheart, Oklahoma,
where it will do service in the oil regions
of that far-off state. The purchaser was j.
w. Taylor, who got his information as to
the good qualities of the Scowden wagons
from James Hood. former Tionesta boy.
Mr.. Scowden may look for more orders
from that section after this wagon has
been in commission while.
Our hill neighbors report consider
able fall of snow at an early hour Monday
morning, but no frost. Light frost was
reported on the hills yesterday morning
but this, Wednesday, morning 1t is dit
ferent, and 1t is not necessary to go to the
hills for freezing news. Here IN the val
ley ice froze last night all of a quarter
inch 10 thickness, and evidences are not
wanting of the destruction wrought to
such vegetation and foliage as had suffi-
GENTLY branched out to get nipped. The
frost was a killing one sure, and only
the backward condition of vegetation has
saved it from damage.
The legislature has passed bill fix
ing the minimum salaries of public school
teachers who hold provisional certificates
at $40 month, and $50 where the teacher
holds professional, permanent or nor
NAL school certificate, 80 that after June,
1905, no teacher can be hired for less than
$40, and those holding the higher grade
certificates must be paid not less than $50.
Some of the townships will consider this
somewhat of a hardship, and it is proba-
BILE there will be an increased demand for
the provisional certificate" teachers, as
The average township will not feel able to
pay the price which the law fixes for
those teachers holding the higher grade
certificates.
There seems to be disposition on
the part of the state game commission to
do something in the nature of enforcing
the law In this section judging from a
case which came before Squire Zuendel
at Kellettville one day last week. A
couple of fish wardens found enough un-
dersized trout in the possession of a
young man from Balltown to warrant
the Justice in placingiug a fine of one
hundred dollars on the oung fisherman.
The fine was paid, one-half of which goes
to the state and the other half to the in
former who secures the conviction.
Moral-Take pocket rule with you
when you go trouting, for you never can
tell when you'll meet the fish warden.
The w. r. c., by special dispensa-
tion, held their meeting Friday evening,
May 18th, instead of Wednesday, May
22d, in order that our Department Presi-
dent might meet with us before going to
the Department Convention at Easton,
Pa. After the regular business had been
transacted the Junior Vice President,
Mrs. CASTOR, stepped forward and in a
pleasing manner presented our worthy
Department President, Suie May Sharpe,
with a w. h. G. recognition pin as a
token of the love and appreciation of
Corps No. 1877. Mrs. Sharpe responded
in few we'll chosen words, thanking
the ladies for the gift. Light refresh
ments were then served and all enjoyed
social time. Press Cor.
"A local physician is authority for the
statement that the dandelion is among
the most healthful vegetables known to
the medical profession, and he advises
that all should eat freely of the delicious
product of the field and dell. The act
i've principles of dandelion have a hyp-
motto influence and possess certain med
cal virtues so that it acts quickly as a
spring tonic to the system, enriching and
cleansing the blood-which is the we'll
spring of life-snd healing and strength
ening the tissues of the kidneys so that
one may acquire pure, rich blood and in
cdentally, clear complexion, as this
"spring tonic" is being offered free by
nature, it might be well to give it a
thorough trial while the fields abound
with it.-Ex.
