exciting from start to finish. The pretty
girls sitting en- the grand stand rather
went back on the business men and took
sides with the high school team; this of
course would "rattle'' most any lot of
men, and certainly did some of the busi-
ness men to hear a lot of pretty girls
cheering against them. The game was
finally won by the high school team, the
score being IL to 7. The second game
was played by the Kellettville High
School and the Endeavor High School
teams. This was rather one-sided
game, the score beibg 20 to 8 in favor of
Kellettville. We have team we are
proud of, considering the time it has

will have ball team equal to any in the

Death of Hon. Joseph A. Nash.

Hon. Joseph A. Nash died at his home
at Pigeon, Howe township, Forest county,
Pa, Tuesday afternoon, Sept. "A, 1907,
after an illness extending over period
of more than year, when he suffered a
slight paralytic stroke, from which he
only partially recovered. Judge Nash
was born in Concord township, Erie
county, about II years ago. His father
was one of the successful and well-to-do
farmers of his day, and the subject of this
sketch was reared to young manhood at
the old homestead inheriting much of the
parental thrift and energy which ele.
ments in after years he put to good use.
Upon attaining his majority he engaged
in numbering in which industry he was
quite successful, and from that he took
up the produce business, in which he
again displayed his apt business qualifi-
cations. This industry brought him in
close touch with the oil development of
the early days and he was caught by the
allurement of this tickle attraction and
much of his worldly gain was swallowed
up in the uncertainties of that business.
About rs yaars ago he came to Forest
county, settling in Howe township,
where he engaged quite extensively in
the manufacture of hemlock shingles, one
of the thriving industries of those days.
He remained to see vast forests converted
into lumber of various kinds, and the
country denuded of its virgin growth
when prices were at low ebb, enriching
a few but sffording little benefit to the
average man.
Mr.. Nssh's capabilities were early rec
ognized when he came to Forest county
and his neighbors elected him to about
all the offices of trust in his township,
and when, in 1894, he announced himself
as candidate for Associate Judge. he
was an easy winner, and in the five years
he occupied seat on the bench he acquit-
ted himself with honor to himself and his
county. Upon retiring from the bench
he was appointed postmaster Of his town,
a position he acceptably filled until
falling health compelled him to relin-
quish it.
Judge Nash was very lIkable man,
even tempered, iovial and true to his
friends, and his demise is greatly regret
ted by the many friends he had gained
through long and intimate association.
He is survived by his widow, who, in
her madenhood, was Miss Sarah Lewis,
and by one son by his first marriage,
Frank Nash, now a resident of Kellett-
vile. The funeral was held on Thursday
last, and his body was laid to rest in the
cemetery near where his boyhood years
were spent, in Concord township, Erie
county,

The plant of the Keystone Glue COM

In preparation for the harvest of grapes
in the Chautauqua and Erie county grape
belt, the railroad companies have placed
300 freight refrigerator cars on the

The Erie railroads free school of teleg-

and number of others have arranged to
enter in the near future. AS soon as the
instruments are installed the active work
of the school will begin, under the super
vision of Lewis Clark. Mr.. Clark is a
telegrapher of years experience, and he
predicts that the school will be COM
plete success. All the young women
who have registered have satisfactorily

A mild winter, says John Peterman.
Buffers hornet nest prophet. The hor-
nets are building high in the air. The
prophet declares hornets in some way get
an inkling of the brand of weather to be
dealt out in the winter. If the signs are
for severe cold they build on the ground,
where the snow drifts over them to pro-
tect the larvae from the cold. If they
select a place high for their nest, they
prophesy warm, open winter. The
corn husks, too, tell of a mild winter,
says the hornet nest prognosticator. The
husks are thin and few.

Prominent Meadville Man Killed.

A dispatch from Quebec. Canada, under
date of Sept. 26, gives these particulars Of
the accidental shooting of one Of Mead
ville's most prominent citizens, Hon. A.
CASTOR, uncle of our townsman G. G. Gas
ton: Athelston CASTOR, of Meadville, was
accidentally shot yesterday by his friend
and guest, II. A. Johnston, OF the same
place, while hunting moose on the limits
of the Triton Fish and Game club, near
Lake Ed ward, in Lake John district of
northern Quebec. CASTOR was about 70
years of age and a widower. He lived
most of the summer in the camp near the
scene of his death, but only arrived Sum-
day on his fatal visit. Johnson, who is
20 years his senior, shot and wounded a
moose and both men with their three
guides followed it for several hours when
CASTOR decided to rest by the lake with
the canoes while the others continued the
pursuit. Meanwhile he had changed his
position and when Johnson returned he

Letter TO c. A. Randall,
TToneStd, Pa.

DEAR SIR Here's tale with a point
to it, Florida is the hardest state in the
Union for paint.
Gilmore Il Davis Co., Tallahassee,
Florida, think they know what paint can
do in their climate; they've been paint
ing for 50 years, Devoe ten years; and
they say Devoe wears 10 years-their
words are: "Buildings we painted De-
voc 10 years ago are in good condition of
paint today"
They also say lead-and-oil wears only
one year there; Devoe 10 years!
Ten years is long lifetime for paint in
Florida; longer than 20 in Maine. We
don't dare say either is true as general
fact in those States; but there are such
instances.
If we should cal the cost of Devoe in
Florida half of the usual cost of paint, 1t
would be too much; we suppose it's
about one-third; there Is so much trash
there-the costliest paint is the worst,
and the worst is the costlest everywhere.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvoE Il Co.,
3S New York.
P.S.-Dunn & Fulton sell our paint.

LOCAL DEATHS OF A WEEK

On Thursday the Rev. Mr.. Struth-
ers, former pastor OF Mt. Pleasant
Church, preached an impressive fun
eral sermon over the dead bol ly OF
one who was a little over twelve
months ago enjoying very good
health. Miss Ruth Adams, the de-
ceased, was g victim OF the "white
mans plague;" she was only 20 years
old and greatly beloved by her for
mer pastor and all who knew her
a large circle indeed, and was the
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
Adams. The stricken parents en-
deayored by every possible human
aid to save the life of their beauti
full girl, but the disease had gained
too much headway prior to- the
time when they sought to place her
In a sanitarium; she became weaker
and weaker until the candle snuffed
out after comparatively cOmfor
table day and evening. Interment
was made Thursday afternoon in
the Pleasantville Cemetery.
Again has death entered the fam.
lily OF Mr.. and Mrs. William Turpin.
Less than one month ago the eldest
son Marshall, promising youth,
was laid low by the Reaper, and on
Saturday evening the youngest son
Harvey, only baby. aged about ls
months, Joined the great white
throng. This sadly afflicted family
followed the little corpse to the
grave In Pleasantviile Cemetery on
Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Mr..
Speakmau officiating.
When Edward Marshall, paper
baugeY, returned to his home last
Thursday evening he was shocked to
find Mrs. Marshall lying upon the
floor of the dining room still in
death. The woman had evidently
been reclining on couch and slipped
or rolled Off. A physician pronounced
the cause OF death heart trouble.
One son and three daughters are
left to mourn the loss Of q mother

whom we refer, died last Friday and

effect that the Board could profitably
consider the purchase OF packages
of flower seeds, these packages to be
sold to the school children for one

town In Northern New jersey where
the experiment is to be tried. The
pupils will be requested to carry the
seeds to their homes, and In spring
time assist in beautifying lawns. or

been growing. 49,

the benighted one who writes his
antagonism OF the methods OF the

Press deigns to reply that In public
lty OF the evils needing remedies In
this town there is hope. More than
this, there is hope that this import
ant committee may endeavor to
promote other ideas besides securing
pavements and attractive street
scenes, viz: greater degrees of public
spirit, health, exercise, sport and
education. 1t is more matter OF
concern to know how to do these
things and what not to do than it ID
to predict the disasters that may
follow because honest efforts ara

unfettered by political ambitions
and lust for power.
