graph pole near the Keystone hotel on
last Wednesday and broke its wing and
is being cared for by G. W. Buhl. On a
ring around one leg are the letters T. Y.

reached this station and will be distribut-

will lay new walks this fall. Tionesta,
noted for its fine walks, keeps up the
pace remarkably well. and it will not be
long till every foot of walk on Elm street
and many Of the side streets. too, will be
of the substantial stone or cement variety.
At present there are but few short
pieces of wooden walks on either side of
Elm street that need replacing with the
permanent material.

The REPUBLICAN acknowledges, with
thanks, souvenir postal card containing
a group picture OF the Kellettvile Con-
cert Band in which "a musicians are
shown, including Squire Leon Watson,
who doesn't have horn or other musical
instrument, but who is just as much a
part and parcel of this fiourishing band
as any of 'em, and doubtless often helps
"pay the freight when the boys need the
sinews of war. There is no other town
in Pennsylvania the size of Kellettville
that can boast OF as fine musical aggre-

The hillsides are beginning to take
on their annual autumn hue, and soon
they will present the most gorgeous array
of all the year, and the "rare day in
June" will be far outclassed in grandeur
and sublimity. Nothing so greet as fine
fall weather when she's fine, even if 1t
has a suggestion of the fast dying year or
a premonition of the wintry blasts to
come. Isn't it the time for hickory huts
and squirrels and pheasants and buck
wheat cakes with sausage meat and
honey? Gee whiz! What more need
crave?
The lumber firm of Newton, Reed Il
Fisher, we'll known locally, has bought
700 acres of virgin oak timber at East
Brady on the A llegheny river. The price
paid is believed to be somewhere around
$25 900. The tract will be numbered as
soon as preparations can be made to begin
it. Mr.. Newton was formerly resident
of Titusville. Mr.. Reed is a Housewife
man and Mr.. Fisher used to live at Spar
tansburg. They have been associated in
the lumber business along the Allegheny
river and elsewhere for a number of
years.-Titusville Herald.
Ray Birtcil, Tionesta's reliable dray-
man, has purchased Mrs. Eli Holeman's
handsome property, consisting of the old
homestead buildings, a nice orchard and
several acres of fine meadow and grazing
lands, and will take possession within
the next few days. Council run courses
through this property and we understand
il is Rays intention to build a large ice
pond and serve Tionesta customers with
a pure article of ice next summer, in
connection with his drayage business.
If close and prompt attention to business
will accomplish it Ray will make this in
dustry paying one.
