reaching us can be relied upon, and we
guess 1t can be. Therefore springs about
here, whether the almanac SAYS so or
not, leastwise the backbone of winter, as
well as the gas meter, is broken. Possi-
bly, there will be some snappy weather
yet. even some approaching the zero
mark, but in the economy of nature It
can't last long. Look up your trouting
tackle.
Harry Brown, a teamster employed
by contractor X. A. Bigley in bauling the
crushed limestone up to the new state
road, fell from his loaded wagon Monday
afternoon in front of the Snodgrass store,
while changing seats with a man who
got on to ride with him. The front
wheel passed over his left ankle, badly
bruising it, but DR.. Dunn, who attended
him, could find no broken bones. He
will be laid up for while.

Last week we said Mrs. Garis, de-
ceased, was the oldest woman in Clarion
county. This proves not to be the case
as Mrs. Freeman, living in Madison
township, not far from Redbank, was ll3
years old Oct. l5, 1906. She still retains
all her faculties in a marvellous degree.
1t is but recently that she wears glasses
and she said that at first that they we're a
bother to her for when she undertook 20

-Ifyour subscription is not paid up
you ought to see that 1t is. Every arti-
ticle that enters into the makeup o:
newspaper has been raised in price, and
today the printer is paying 25 to so per
