Ernest G.. Bishop. who, as manager
of the local store of the Glasgow Woolen
Mills, has made many friends in Oil
City, has accepted a better position at
Wstertown, ~ Y, and will take up his

1t is not necessary that one possess an
abundance of hair, in fact, most hairdress-
ers prefer to arrange hair that is compar-
stively scant. 1t is always possible to
add puff here and a curl there that will
fill in deficiencies, yet remain light in
both weight and appearance. The added
pieces may be made of ones own comb
ings, and there is no longer prejudice
against the attacnment of these small sep
arste pieces. providing always that the
matter is not overdOne and light, nat
ura effect is retained. The Ladies World

The school house at Lineville was
destroyed by fire Monday afternoon
about five o'clock. 1t seems that the
children had been clearing up the school
yard and hard started fire. After they
had all gone to their homes the building
caught and was totally destroyed. The
building was a two-story and cost about
81 900 twoyears ago. The insurance in
the Farmers Mutual, of Marble, amounts
to 81, 800. 0.-Clarion Republican. We un-
derstand that the organ and some of the

There is some prospect that river
bridge will be erected at President by the
authorities of Venango county. Viewers
recently appointed by the court met at
the ferry landing last Saturday to look
the situation over and much will depend
upon their decision in the matter. The
Blizzard thinks there is every reason
why one should be erected at that point
and no good reason why it should not.
The ferry boat method of crossing is not
only back number, but it is dangerous,
slow and not available during several
months of each year. There is no bridge
across the Allegheny between Oil City
and Tionesta, a distance of more than 20
miles.
