The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1907-07-17

we'll on the Hugh Miles farm at Fagundus
last week and 1t was showing for twenty
barrel producer. The company will drill
twelve wells this season and will install
a modern power.
The tennis girl goes out to play her
nerve-producing game; the flippant girl
goes out to lark because her life's too tame
the reading girl betakes herself into a
world of books; the scheming girl to the
seaside goes to fish with artful hooks; the
flirting girl goes anywhere she thinks
there is a man; the dressy girl to Paris
goes to buy dress and fan; the besuty
goes upon the stage to show her hand
some looks; but the girl who gets the
husband stays right at home and cooks.
Our farmers should be on the lookout
for fake inspectors who are said by some
newspapers of this state, to be at work in
some sections, pretending to exsmine live
stock, head by head, to ascertain If they
are in sound physical condition. All of
the cattle thus examined are pronounced
sound, and then the inspector demands a
fee of twenty-five cents per head, or two
and half dollars for the inspection ofthe
this business are simply frauds and they
are without license to act in the capacity
of live stock inspector, from municipal,
county, state or national authorities. .-Ex.
On July 8, 1907, at Atco, N. j., where
he had lived the last few years, John
Frick died, aged about rs years. Mr..
Frick was son-in-law of the late Col. p,
d. Thomas, of Tionesta, and brother-in-
law of Mrs. S. d. Irwin. He is survived
by his wife and several grandchildren.
He was of an old Chester county family.
He frequently visited Tionesta and was
well known to some of our citizens. He
was formerly agent of the Schuylkill
Navigation Co. at Philadelphia, and af-
forwards engaged in various enterprises,
but of late years failing health prevented
him from pursuing his avocations.
In reproducing some of the items
appearing in his paper thirty years ago,
Bre'r White, of the Tidioute News, has
the following in his last weeks budgets:
"The bell in the old church up town has
been sold to the County Commissioners
of Forest county for $lS5. 1t goes to the
Court House in Tionesta. The bell is a
Buckeye, weighs six hundred and thirty
pounds, and cost, when new, three hun
dred and fifteen dollars, bell metal being
then worth twelve cents more a pound
than now." We might state that the old
bell is still doing good service. and its
melodious tones ring out as sweetly as
ever to those who are not compelled to
answer its summons.
The reception rendered to Rev. and
Mrs. Harry A. Bailey at the Presbyter-
ian church in the evening of July 9Th was
an occasion which gave the more than
one hundred friends who attended it the
greatest pleasure. The guests of honor
we're supported by the two elders of the
church, Messrs. G. w. Robinson and A.
B. Kelly, who occupied stations in the
receiving line and extended a cordial
welcome to each of the guests, who in
turn had word of encouragement and
good cheer for the popular parson and
his amisble wife. A number of choice
musical selections were rendered by the
young ladies of the Sabbath school and
Endeavor society, and light but very de-
licious refreshments we're served by the
latter society. AT l0o'clock the charm
ing occasion came to a close, the guests
departing with only the most pleasant
recollections of the evenings enjoyment.
Our old friend N. G. Cole, who owns
and cultivates thrifty farm not far from
Nebraska, in Green township, exper-
fenced somewhat of shock TO his nerves
one day recently while working in his
hay field. He had sat down by the trunk
of tree to enjoy a short rest in the shade.
Feeling that smoke from the old pipe
would brace him up some he put one
hand on the ground "sort Of back of
him like" aud with the other was
pulling the pipe out of his pocket.
Noting that something cold and clammy
WAS touching his hand he gszed around
and there, right by his side, crawling
leisurely over his hand, was four-foot
rattle snake! Well, you've heard the
story of the COW that jumped over the
moon! That was mere amateur perform
ance compared with Nelts exhibition.
Had there been balfdozen moons handy
haNI hau lnA at a
bound. And his boy tells the story that
when pa came back to earth Bsnquo's
goat would have resembled FULL
blooded African beside him. But-that
snake never left the meadow alive-The
boy killed him. Nelson was out OF COM
mission.
The generosity of prominent Forest
county citizen was again demonstrated a
short time ago in the gift of valuable lot
to the Methodist church of Brookville
upon which to erect new edifice, men,
tion of which is made in the Republican
of that place of recent date: "On Mon
day last Judge Frank Y. Kreitler, of Ne.
braska, former citizen of Brook vile,
and christian gentleman with heart as
big as the lofty mountains that surround
his present home, dropped into town and
before he took his departure on Tuesday
he closed negotiations with William II.
Darr, Esq, for his vacant lot on the cor
ner of Pickering and Jefferson streets, at a
valuable consideration of possibly $4,000
(the deed says $l.00) and made known to
the church officials that it was his inten-
tion to donate the grounds to the Brook
vile Methodist Episcopal church as ssite
for new church. The generosity ofour
coming as it does in the hour of greatest
need, that it will harmonize every
thought and action, and with the united
