we'll near the Brlbt ulllls hcrOss tno IlNeT,
last fall, are making preparations to put
down we'll on the Overlander lands on
the point of the hill above the mill, where
they do not expect to encounter the vol
ume OF fresh water which ruined the first
we'll.
The people of Gilfoyle are rejoicing
over the prospects of a chemical plant.
The Keeler Bros, of Kane, have pur-
chased the timber tract known as the
Miller plot, owned by Wagner q Wilson,
and it is said some drilling for gas will
be started at once. We trust that this is
true. 1fit helps Gllfoyle it will surely
help Marienville some.-Express.
Almost every man talks iu an i'm
portant way about his mail. He has to
go down town Sundays to get his mail;
hates to leave town because he misses his
mail, and all there is in 1t is bill or two
and circulars advertising a mining
scheme. II he chances to be at home
when he opens it, "hush," the mother
will tell the children; "don't disturb your
father while he is reading his mail"
County Commissioners l.. Agnew,
Boro Councilmen VIM. Smesrbaugh and
j. W. Landers, and Township Supervi-
sor, Wm. S. Clark, went to Warren yes
terday to confer with State Highway
Commissioner Hunter relative to road
matters now in progress in this vicinity
and to be insugurated later on. A public
meeting of the road supervisors of War
rem county was held in Warren yester-
day.
Owing to serious defect in the pri-
mary election law many voters who have
changed their residences since last fall
will have no opportunity to vote at the
June primary. Those who moved from
one district to another cannot vote and
no provision is contained in the act for
registration in the new district. This sort
wholesale disfranchsement should be
remedied at once. The Legislature has
no excuses for falling to do 30.
Stephen Emick, one of Harmony
townships well known residents, is in
danger of losing one of his legs. Some
years ago Mr.. Emick experienced severe
trouble with his limb which left the
mem ber stiff at the knee joint. OF late
his trouble has recurred and the bone has
become diseased, causing him much suf-
fering. His physicians believe his only
chance of relief is the amputation Of the
diseased limb between the knee and hip.
Don't Judge man by his clothes.
God made one and the tailor made the
other. Don't judge man by his failure
in life, for many a man fails because he
is too honest to succeed. Don't judge a
man by the house he lives in, for the
lizard and the rat often inhsbit the
grander structures. When man dies
they who survive him ask what property
there is left behind; the angel who bends
over the dying man asks what good deeds
he has sent before him.
Fifty three years ago this morning,
or to be exact, April II, 1854, this section
woke up to find itself covered with
mantle of sno Nv 20 to "a inches in depth.
Few people now living have a personal
recolle ction OF the strange event, but
some there are who remember that
huge timbers we're hauled upon that
snow. 1t lasted only about one day and
the weather quickly turned thereafter to
mildness and pleasant days. So says one
who was on the spot at that time.
"A dearth of local news often leads to
murmurs on the part OF those who prize
local gossip above all else, and it is not
all the fault of the publisher. Any live
publisher will not fail to give all the local
news worthy OF note, therefore when the
local department is short you should not
rail at the editor, but remember you
might have committed suicide, got mar
ried, quarreled with your neighbor, stole
chickens, let your team run away, or
done hundred other things to make a
local item.
"A bill now before the legislature to
require poisons to be placed in three
cornered bottles is one which is modelled
after laws in a number of states in the
union and is practice which is followed
by some manufacturing firms in this
country and in France. 1t has the ad-
vantage of max ing such bottles distinct
i've so that persons may be able to recog-
nize the contents by the sense of touch.
1t will also serve we'll to teach children to
let such bottles severely alone, to say
nothing of meeting many other ends.
AS March 25th was day of sunshine,
according to the old proverb, we will have
an immense apple crop. With plenty of
apples and apple butter to eat and cider
to drink the entire winter our health is
assured. Being inclined to accept the
sunshiny side of this as we'll as all other
coming events we live in hopes the
prophecy will materialize, nevertheless,
with the ground frozen hard enough to
carry heavily loaded wagon on the first
day of the trouting season it takes heap
o. faith to keep us steady on the apple
crop.

Mrs. Ellen Catlin; vice. president, Mrs
