q furlough of three months in this neigh
borhood. left Monday for Tennessee,
where he is an inmate of the Johnson
City Soldiers Home. Mr.. Morgan has
many friends here who will wish him
pleasant winter and a safe return to his
old home town next year.-Emlenton
News.
Wilson King, who is farming the
William Diekrager place, out in the
Poseytield district in Hickory twp, was
in town Monday and left us a mess of
lemon cucumbers. This variety is rather
rare in this section, and when ripe re-
semble lemon in appearance and size,
but they are pleasanter to the taste, and
are quite superior in flavor to the regular
"long green" cucumber.
Miss Lula Haugh and her Sunday
School class, of Nebraska, were in town
today and picnicked in the grove near the
Pratt home. They we're accompanied
from Nebraska by Misses Grace Reed
and Janet Haugh, of Nebraska, Misses
Pauline and Laura Gsiser, of Brook lyn,
and Miss Ruth Balentine. of Clarion.
Some Sheffield friends also helped to
make merry.-Shefheld Observer.
Peter Hinkle of Erie spent last Satur-
day visiting at the home of D. w. Clark.
Mr.. FL. spent the greater portion of his
long life in the employ of the Lake Shore
railroad and had much to do with the
construction of that great system. In
looking over the street paving operations
going on in this borough he pronounced
1t one of the best pieces of work that has
come under his notice in long time, and
thinks that Tionesta is fortunate in being
favored with contractors who are putting
in such honest work.
Personal mention from last weeks
Tidioute News: Miss Lulu Crouch OF
East Hickory was guest of Miss Emma
Magill over Sunday.-Mrs. Walter AL
len was the guest of Mrs. Gus B. Evans
at Endeavor during the week. Mrs.
Martha Morrow and daughter, Miss Nan
cy, are visiting relatives at Pleasantville.
Mrs. Allen Turner of West Hickory
entertained Saturday with dinner party.
Among the guests were Mrs. G. Il. White,
Mrs. w. d. Allen, Mrs. G. N. Macdonald,
Mrs. Janet Shirey and Mrs. Walter Allen
from Tidioute.
w. c. Imel, agent of the P. r. X. at
this place, was in Erie Thursday, with
other agents, receiving instructions in
the use of new filing case. A recent
ruling of the Interstate commerce COM
mission makes obligatory the placing of
one of these cases in each station by Oct.
lst, In which case must he filed COM
plete list of the tariffs in force from such
office. The tariffs shall be open to the
inspection of the public at all times, un-
der the care of the agent. The new ar
rangement will simplify the filing of the
tariffs and will be great convenience
both to the shippers and the agent.
Walter S. Brown of Punxsutswney
spent few days of last week here very
pleasantly with his wife and daughter,
who had been guests at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. A. G. Brown. He brought
along his fishing tackle, having heard
glowing accounts of the beautiful old AL
legheny as fisherman's paradise, and on
Friday he thoroughly convinced himself
of the truth of these stories by landing
one of the finest specimens of the gamy
muscallonge that has been taken this sea-
son, l0-pounder. 1t was Mr.. Browns
intention to stay few days longer, but
in order to convince his home friends of
his fine catch he had to get there with the
goods. We have notion that he'll not
be hard to coax back here on a future
occasion as such luck is not apt to be soon
forgotten.
-Forty-nine years ago Friday the dis
covery of oil took place. That event
which has since worked such miracles in
the world of science, industry and COM
merce, is one which will always be re-
membered by the people of Titusville
1t was Aug. 2S, 1859, that the bit in the
old Drake well first touched the oil sand.
The Canadohta chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, are preparing
personal appeal to the people OF Titusville
and of oildom generally for funds with
which to erect suitable memorial, which
will be unveiled one year from to day.
1t is expected that on Monday this appeal
will be sent out. A discovery of the
magnitude of that of Col. brakes needs
something more than the mere passing
notice OF the people of this section of the
ountry.-Titusvill Herald.
DIR. F. E. Allison, and his nephew,
NJ. Allison Rishel, of Clinton county,
were callers at the REPUBLICAN office
Monday morning. Mr.. Rshel came to
attend the Allison family reunion at
Monarch Park on Friday. His mother is
a sister of DR.. llison and is one of six
women in Pennsylvania who have the
distinction of being daughters of RevoIu-
tionary soldiers, DR.. Allison being the
last and only surviving son of soldier
of that memorable war for freedom. The
franklin News prntss fine likeness of
this Sl-year old boy, and says that he
presided over the reunion banquet with
all the grace and dignity of his distin-
guished relative, the late Senator w. b.
Allison. The reunion was perhaps the
most successful one that has yet been
held by this we'll known family, upward
of "a hundred members being present on
this occasion,
