who sent In a good sized box laden with
pecans, hickory nuts and mistletoe, all
natives of the new state of Oklahoma,

next FIiAay evening, January 3D., when
Alexander r. Tarr, A. NJ, one of the
most talented lecturers and orators on
the platform today, will deliver one of
the five lectures on his list. His subject

the five. Mr.. Tarr is said to be the
strongest number on the course and our
Geo. b. Armstrong was the recipient
of box from Chelsea, Ind. Ter, during
the holidays that contained winters
supply of pecans and other nuts, besides
a good quantity of mistletoe, all natives
of the southland. The consignment was
from his nephew, Theo. Huddleson, and
ofcourse we got our share of the good
things. Many thanks, and the best we
can wish our bachelor friend is that he
may be caught within the next year
"under the mistletoe" by some fair
daughter of that region and bring her
home with him on his next visit.
The January number of The Ladies
World has just been received, and if it
can be taken as representative of the year
the subscribers will certainly be pleased, +,
for it is not only one of the handsomest of
the periodicals that come to our table,
but it is filled wi ith material that is inter-
esting to read and valuable to know.
Those who like good fiction will find
stories by Elliott Flower, Mary Mears,
Maude Adams who tells the story of her
famous debut as an infant-and Roy
Norton, while those who are looking for
sensible economies in the household will
turn at once to those departments, which
to us seem more practical than in any
other publication. New York: Fifty

To-day the annual trip of the Penn.
sylvania Railroad company over the old
Titusville and Oil City branch line will
be made from here to Pioneer, says the
Titusvile Herald of Monday. Master
Carpenter II. w. Roberts and force of
men have been engaged for several days
in laying the bridges and preparing the
track for this annual trip. 1t will be
made with an engine, caboose and one
coach, about the least that can be put to-
gether and called a train. In former
years much difficulty has been exper
fenced in getting even the lightest rolling
stock over the rickety old rails and the
defective grade. The trip is made with
no other purpose in view than to bold the
charter, which some day may be valuable.
In an opinion handed down recently
Deputy Attorney General Frederick W.
Fleitz sustains the action of State High
way Commissioner Joseph w. Hunter in
the employment of inspectors to guard
the interests of the State during the con.
struction ofState roads. Mr.. Fleitz says
in part: 1.-THE various counties and
townships in which roads are reconstruct
ed are as much concerned as is the State
in securing properly constructed roads,
and it is therefore fair that the cost Of the
supervision should be included in the ex-
penses of the improvement" AT the
conclusion of the opinion the Deputy
Attorney General says the course pursued
by the State Highway Commissioner is
proper and lawful, and advises him to
continue in it.
