enough of the deadly explosive to blow
the town TO atoms. Whose business is 1t
to stop this sort of lawlessness?

place have taken contract for saving
the remaining timber on the Clapp lands

The members of the congregation
gave reception at the NJ. e. parsonage
Saturday evening to Rev. and Mrs. W. o.
Calhoun in honor of their return to Tio-
nesta. Upward ofa hundred friends and
neighbors called during the evening to
extend the welcome hand to the popular

from to 1880 O. clock was very pleasantly

The work of cleaning up the mar
rows" above the mouth of Little Hickory
creek was begun last week, and such
good progress has been made that ii is
thought by next week The road will be in
passable condition for vehicles. This
piece OF road has been completely OBJ
structed since the night of July Sd, when
the flood caused tremendous slides along
the almost perpendicular hillside, in
some places completely obliterating the
road bed
Charles Cox, who resides on the old
Kiser farm on German Hill, Green town
ship, underwent serious operation for
appendicitis at his home last Wednesday
morning. Mr.. Cox had been afflicted
with this disease for the past eight years
and his condition was considered more
than ordinarily dangerous. The opera
ton was performed by DR.. j. c. Dunn of
Tionesta, and DR.. G. Y. Detar of Kellett-
vile, and the surgeons report the patient
as recovering nicely.
William Edmund Burke, who was
born near Clarington, Forest county, Dec
II, 1858, died at his home at Burlington,
Iowa, on the 3lst ult. The decreased was
a nephew of our townslady, Mrs. Chris
tine Mckay, his mother, Mrs. Julia A.
Burke, who survives him, being sister
of Mrs. Mckay. When he was child, in
1858, his parents located in Iowa where
the subject grew to manhood and became
prominent in the educational and legal
circles of his community, haying for three
terms held the Office of county superin-
tendant of public instruction, and then
entered the profession of the law.
Capt. Geo. II. Hyde received prac-
tically $4,000 from the insurance COM
panies in the recent adjustment of his
loss by fire by the burning of his lumber
m i'll and store at Eagle Rock, VeDango
county. He carried 1900 on the mill
and store. The reduction made was on
account of the salvage he will receive for
the Junk in the mill and the fact that the
stock of goods in the store had been re-
duced by the sales made. 1t is estimated
that the sale of the junk and the big boil
ers in the mill will net two or three
thousand dollars, so that Mr.. Hyde will
have practically all that's coming TO him.

The harvest services" at the Presby-
terisn church on Sabbath morning were
attended by large congregation and
we're exceptionally interesting. Rev. Mr..
Bailey had for his text Lev. 1919, "And
when ye reap the harvest of your land,
thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of
thy field" and his discourse was a most
excellent one. The decorations consisted
entirely of the fruits of the garden and
the fields, embracing every variety of
ripened vegetable, fruit and grain, tie
whole making novel and very pretty
display, upon which the committee hay
ing the arrangement in charge was pro-
tusely congratulated upon the good taste
displayed. The music was good, pretty
solo by Mrs. w. II. Rodgers of Cincin-
natl, being much appreciated feature OF
the occasion.
The drouth which set in oyer,a month
ago throughout this section continues to
hold sway, and in many parts is becom-
ing very alarming. Springs and small
streams are fast drying up, and not alone
cattle and live stock, but the human
family as we'll is beginning to suffer for
the want of water. Pasture lands are
past recuperation and cows are fast falling
on their milk supply, while many farm
