have been lifted within the past week. A
few nice fat ones taken on subscription

Frank Birtcil, one of the contractors
who drilled the we'll on the Jacob Wagner
farm. Tionesta twp, is tubing it and put
ting it in shape for pumping. The pro-
duction will not be large, but it is thought
will be worth rigging up for.
We are the people and have the goods.

Editor White of the Tidioute News
has succeeded in pulling himself together
again after a months tussle with grip,
and this is what lie says of it: Ever
have the grip? Ever want folk to just
let you alone that you might die in peace?
If not thank the good Father and shy
like bucking broncho when anybody
says grip"
Springs here, or nearly so. Robins,
crows and black birds were plainly seen
and heard "in our midst last Saturday
by no less than dozen of our observant
townsfolk. Just why the latter species of
the feathered tribe have "hove" in so un-
tremendously and unseasonablv we are
at loss to know. There are no early
worms in sight yet.
The Spring Term of the Clarion State
Normal School opens March oath. The
Winter Term, now closing, had the

Keep in mind the chicken supper
which the Ladies Aid Society of the Pres
byterian church will serve at the Relief
Corps hall next Tuesday evening, Saint
Patrick's day, from $50 till 700 o'clock.
Calculate on taking yourself and family
If you have one-to the hall that eve-
ming aud getting an excellent supper for
the small sum OF 35 cents. Some of the
best cooks in town belong to this society.
Its only another of the many evil
dences tending to show the appreciation
in which Forest county's best newspaper
is held. Mrs. j. G. Little, 635 N. Elm
wood Ave, Chicago, formerly Miss Hattie
Tobey of cur comfy, writes: 81 think 1t
about time | was paying up if do not
want your newsy little paper to stop its
weekly visit, and certainly do not"
Almost every mail nowadays brings
just such cheering words.
To persons who have been annoyed
by the trespassing of chickens belonging
to their neighbors, the recent decision of
a Kansas city judge during the trial of a
chicken case will be some comfort. This
judge advised the setting of traps, and he
said if anything is caught on your prem
ises, it's yours. He held that no one had
a right to raise chickens in town and let
them run at large. If not restrained,
they are regarded as wild fowls that be-
long to anybody no captures them.
Henry w. Ledebur has disposed of
his farm on German Hill, in Green town
ship, to Edward Blum, who has for some
time past occupied the Henry Kiser farm
four miles out from Tionesta on the Ger
man Hill road. We understand the con-
sideration was 81, 300, and surely Ed. got
bargain in the deal, as the buildings on
the place could not be erected for that
amount Mr.. Ledebur expects to visit
and rest up awhile before embarking in
business of any SORT We hope he will
not take notion to leave our county.
The following item from the Observer
of last week may be a tip to resorts of the
the same sort besides Sheffield: Consta-
bic Burlingame in his return to court
Monday charged the proprietors of the
billiard rooms and bowling alley in this
place with allowing boys under eighteen
in the rooms. A number of witnesses
were taken to court, but tho proprietors
did not deny the charges but stated that
the consent of the parents of the boys had
been secured and that they understood
such permission was sufficient to clear
them of the law. Under the circum-
stances the court discharged them on pay
ment of costs and with instructions that
the consent of the parents did not give
them permission to violate the law. In
the future the boys will be kept out of the
billiard rooms and bowling alley.
