to be sure, but there isn't bit OF harm in
it, not a single bit, and the woman who
won't fatter her own husband once in a
while will find out to her cost that there
are lots of other women in the world who
are not so stiff-necked as she is" Now
will our dearies be good?
The Pittsburg Post, with few strokes
of the pen, has again converted the
narrow gauge railroad between Foxburg
and Kane into grand trunk four track
system. This important event happens
about once in six months, greatly to the
annoyance of the residents along the line
who would be glad to see some substan-
tial betterment of facilities.
Special attention is directed to the
change in the ad. of the Warren National
Bank on the first page of the REPUBLICAN
today. This solid financial institution
has made marvellous strides since its or
ganlzation, the assets going with leaps
and bounds from 1925 ,04006 in 1893 to
g., ,497, 1882 in the present year. This is
a growth that Is calculated to bring pride
to the official management of the bank as
well as its many patrons.
Col. Samuel B. Dick, one of Mead
ville's best known, life long and most
popular citizens, died at his home on Fri
day night after an illness of three days,
leaving a host of friends, not alone in his
native town, but throughout the state and
nation. He had been a prominent fig
ure for many years, serving his district
in Congress, and his war record was one
of which any man should be proud. AS
business man he was quite noted, and
leaves a large estate.
In view of the rapid gait at which we
are going we're apt to forget some things
of comparatively recent happening. The
Franklin News calls to mind that year
ago May 10th snow fell in this latitude of
sufficient depth to make snow-balling
easy, a matter which had escaped the
memory of most of us. The snow storm
of last Friday night, 10th inst, was just
one year later, and gave people rather
chilly surprise as they looked out Sat
urday morning and saw the ground white
with the beautiful"
N. F. Hoover, Samuel Aul, Ed. Har-
mon, of Marienville, George Younger,
Sheffield, W. A. Wray, of Vowinckle,
aud others. left yesterday for Jefferson
county short distance from Brookville,
where they are interested in gas well
that was brought in the last week which
is reported to be good for two million feet
per day. The company have about 1900
acres under lease. All kinds of big offers
have been made for the property. We
are glad to report such stroke of good
fortune for our townsmen.-Express.
The district Sunday school conven-
ton held in the Presbyterian church here
yesterday, was quite well attended. Two
interesting sessions were held, afternoon
and evening, the program including a
number of subjects of vital importance
to Sunday school workers. Rev. p. j.
Slonaker, of Brockwayvlle, presid INT of
the Forest county association, was pres
ent and delivered an address in the eve
ming, as did also Rev. Mr.. Scherer of En-
deavor. The annual county convention
will be held in Tionesta on June 18th.
The wholesale price of meat advanced
two cents per pound last week, and an
other is expected from one-half to three
quarters of cent in the near future
This applies alike to beef, lamb and pork.
The reason the wholesalers give for the
increase is that live cattle are scarce in
the west and the price has risen there.
But it is more likely that the big packers
are taking this means to get even with
the people. AS new vegetables will soon
be coming in it will be we'll for the aver
age citizen to turn vegetarian for while.
Jerry Mccartney, aged 2l years, met
death in an accident on a logging train
connected with the numbering plant of
X. NJ. Morrison & Co., at Morribell, w.
Va, on the Sd inst. The young man was

yond control while going down heavy
grade and was wrecked, his body being
badly mangled. The remains were
brought to Msrienville, this county,
where the unfortunate young man had
made his home with an aunt, and given
burial in the r. G. cemetery. The de-
ceased had many friends at his former
home, being young man of exemplary
habits.
j. L. Glover, who with his family of
wife and several small children were in
mates at the county home for number
of weeks, died at Emergency hospital,
Warren, Thursday, from bronchial
trouble. He had of late been with a
brother-in-law at Lake City, Elk county,
and Commissioner Emert had gone to
Ridgway to bring him back to the Home,
but when they resched Warren he could
go no farther and was taken to the hos

was aged about 3S years, and was buried
at Warren. He formerly lived at Mar
ienville, and the family became charge
upon the county before gaining resi-
dence elsewhere.
Burglars paid a visit to the residence
of Associate Judge John Siggins, in Tidi-
cute, Wednesday night, some time during
the early hours of the morning, but were
frightened away before securing anything
beyond few provisions and dollar
which was taken from pocketbook in a
