-Meadville is rich in historic anecdote,
such names as "Aaron Burr" "Tecum-
sch" and Lafayette" being closely con-
nected with its growth. Not many peo-
pie of the present day are aware of the
fact, but one hundred years ago the meet
ing that quashed the Burr conspira sy was
held in the city hall. On the green OPP
posite is the spot where Burr's efiigy was
burned after being paraded through the
streets.

In the Buffalo Evening News of the
18th inst, the following interesting item
appeared: "Mrs. John Gordon Of Wads-
worth street announces the marriage of
her sister, Nj ISIS Jessie E. Bradshaw, to
Mr.. Donald Cameron Davis last evening,
Wednesday, July 10. At Home at 6S
College street after Aug. Many
friends here will recognize in this simple
announcement the familiar name of a
former Tionesta boy whose popularity
was limited only by the circle of his ac-
quaintanceship. And all these friends will
extend hsppiest fluctuations to Don and
his bride upon this auspicious occasion.
In these later years nearly every per-
son has TO have their summer trip, to
Cape May, Atlantic City, Saratoga. Wash
ington, New York, Chautsuqus, Lilly
Dale, or some other "resort" says a
grumbling exchange. They think these
necessary to their health, and enjoyment
of life. We wonder sometimes, as we see
our neighbors going on and returning
from these trips, how our dear old fathers
and mothers got through life, many OF
whom never got outside the county, and
some of them scarcely outside the town.
ship in which they lived. Our recollec-
tion OF them is, that they were just as
happy as their children and grandchildren
who go and come so often; and we be-
lieve they were much more contented.
People who work for themselves, es-
pecially mothers, often glory in not taxi
ing vacation, in staying forever at home
in sticking solidly to what they believe
to be their duty. To you, my conserva-
tive reader, vacation is just as necessary
as it is to the tired teacher or the faithful
clerk and for the same reason-that you
may do more work when you do work,
and do it more effectively. The duty
which holds you will be better performed,
the home that you are guarding will be
better kept, and the cheerfulness, and
courage, and optimism which you need
will be more readily summoned, If you
take time-not next year, but in the re-
naming weeks of this very summer-to
drink in the stimulant of new faces, new
landscapes and new experiences.

Carrie May Luce, aged "a years,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. u, G. Luce of
committed suicide by swsl-
lowing csrboic acid on the porch of her
parents home about IL o'clock last
Thursday night. She had lately been
visiting with her aunt, Mrs. Margaret A.
Howell, at West Hickory and her cousin
Fred II. Luce, at Youngsvile. On the
evening mentioned she had been at the
theatorum few hours before killing
herself and appeared to be in her usual
joyous happy frame of mind. When her
father responded to knock at the front
door he found his daughter in a stupor
