BILE. Your neighbor's tongue may need
care also, but that is his business; this Is
yours to see to. Watch your tongue; it
needs watching. 1t is fre-wstch 1t. 1t
is the helm which guilds the vessel. Let
the helmsman keep wide awake. 1t can
bless or 1t can curse; 1t can poison or heal;

sow discord or separate chief friends.
Watch your tongue, no one but you can

The resumption of the purchase of
chestnut wood by the Queen City tannery
is proving highly beneficial to large
number of farmers and woodsmen
throughout this section. The grade of
chestnut accepted by the tannery has no
other market value whatever. 1t consists
largely of dead standing timber, fallen
timber that has reached stage where 1t
is useless for any other purpose, and even
fence rails are being cut into proper
lengths and marketed. Not only is the
territory in this vicinity being drained of
the product, but this class of timber in
adjoining counties is being shipped in
here by the carload. For all OF this wood
the tsnnery pays a fiat price of$4 cord
to be ground into pulp from which tannin
is extracted. AS result many thousands
of dollars are being paid out in this Sec
tlon. -Titusville Herald.
j. Clarence GrubbS, former Forest
county boy, son of Henry A. and Cynthia
Grubbs, the latter deceased, died on
Wednesday last, Dec. 2. from paralysis,
aged about 3S years. He was reared to
young manhood in this community.
About IA years ago he was united in mar
riage with Miss Mary White, who, with
three daughters, survives. For the past
seven years the family has resided in
Butler, Pa, where the funeral was held
on Saturday last. Several years ago the
deceased was stricken with paral ysis, but
partially recovered, when overtaken with
another stroke, the one which ended his
life being the fifth. For nearly year
he had been practically helpless. Besides
those already mentioned Clarence is sur
viyed by his father, four brothers and
four sisters, namely: John w. and Le-
Roy E. of Nebraska; o. Allen of New
town Mills; Henry e. and Mrs. Anna j.
Moon, of Tionesta; Mrs. Flora Lease, of
Kellettville; Mrs. Carrie E. Grubbs, of
Marienville; Mrs. Rachel I. Jones, of
Newtown Mills. Rev. Mr.. Knox, the
fsmiy's pastor, conducted the funeral
services. Mr.. Grubbs was converted un-
der the ministrstion of Rev. W. w. Dale
at Gollnza in 1894. and soon after united in
full membership with the M. e. church,
remaining a consistent Christian to the
end.

Joe Lewis New Shoe Emporium.

The formal opening of the new Levi
shoe emporium in Oil City took place on
Thursday evening last and proved most
decided success, elicitng the interest OF a
greater portion of the city's populace,
which turned out to witness the grandeur
of the occasion. Mr.. Levi had sent out
large number of invitations, but had also
made it known that those who had been
overlooked in the rush need not feel any
he~tancy about calling as all would be
welcome to call and inspect the beautiful
new store room with its gorgeous fix
lures and conveniences. Fessenden's or
chestrs was present and discoursed sweet
music during the evening, aud every
visitor received pretty souvenir, the
ladies being presented with china plate
and the men with a watch fob.
The new block is a marvelously beauti
full structure of three stories and large
basement. Its dimensions are So feet on
Centre and Sycamore streets and 100 feet
on Seneca street. Spacious stairwsys
lead to the second floor on both side
streets while large entrance and double
show windows on Seneca street add mnch
to the appearance and convenience of the
Levi store. Within few days after the
fire of last march destroying the Levi
block, the proprietor had given contract
for the erection of this modern structure,
thus testifying his faith in the perma-
nence of the city which has been his home
for more than 40 years.
Mr.. Levi has spared no expense in fit
ting up his store with the best and latest
deyices in fixtures. The woodwork is of
Flemish oak, done in dark green, the
panels between the long tiers of shelving
being set off with large mirrors of plate
glass. The show cases are ofheavy glass,
fitted with brackets designed for showing
off high grade shoes to their best advan-
tage. Eight heavy oak seats, with high
backs and arms for each compartment,
have been placed through the center of
the room for customers. Across the en-
tire width of the room, on Sycamore and
Centre streets and a,goodly portion of
Seneca street, above the shelving has
been fitted up with Prism glass, produc-
ing excellent light effect Combination
gas and electric light fixtures Of hand
some design serve to set of the store in all
its beauty at night. One of the features
of the store is the office. The cashier has
been given commodius quarters, with
two windows through which to receive
the returns from the clerks and transact
business with customers.
AS has been said, Mr.. Levi is to be con-
graduated on the completion of his hand
some new block, which will stand as en-
during evidence of what can be accom-
plished by persistent work and we'll di-
rected effort.

A BOOM FOR WEST HICKORY.
Tannery at that Place Changes Hands
and Expects to Run Full Time.

The following is from the Ridgwsy
Advocate of last week:
Harry H. Smith of Ridgwsy, who has
been engaged steadily since he left col
lege four years ago in learning the tan
ming business at the Eagle Valley tannery
In this place, has branched out into busi-
ness for himself, and on the first of De-
cember, he bought the tannery at West
Hickory, which is located on the Allie
gheny Valley division OF the p. r. X. in
Forest county, and near Endeavor. The
tannery was heretofore owned by Martin
Lawler OF Port Allegany and was operated
as an upper leather tannery and extract
works. The new firm is composed of
Harry II. Smith and his father, Capt.
Perry r. Smith, of this place, who is one
of the pioneer tanners of Elk county who
has for several years past been living on
Easy street. The new firm will be known
as Harry III. Smith Il Co. They will re-
model this tannery and turn it into sole
leather tannery for the manufacture of
union crop leather. Mr.. Smith is a
young man of fine ability and consider
able energy and force of character, and
we predict that he will make an eminent
success in his chosen business career"
1t is claimed on what is considered
good authority that the new owners of
this we'll known tannery expect TO
at once put 1t in condition to run full
time, and that before the winter is over
there will be at least hundred persons
employed at the works. If this is the
case many new dwellings will have to be
provided for the increased number OF
families that will make their home al
West Hickory, and taken altogether
means good boost for the pleasant little
town to our north. And we are rejoiced
to learn that the prospects Tor getting a
slice of the new prosperity plum is SO
bright for our neighbors.

The Local Oil Field.

G. H. Lowe Il Co. drilled in a good well
yesterday in their No. 13 on the Mckee
farm, across the river. The well is show
ing up for fine producer and will be
shot today.
The deep we'll drilled by Proper Bros.
for themselves, the Oil Well Supply Co.
and Crawford & Gregory, on the Clapp
lands, in Tionesta township, was finished
last Wednesday at depth of 2O35 feet
aud was dry.
In the West Hickory field the South
Penn Oil Co. got fine we'll in their No.
ii located on the Carter farm, opposite
Dale Island, week or so ago. The well
is said to be doing thirty barrels day,
natural.
Orion Siggins finished and shot No. II
on his farm in the same field, last Friday
and found good producer.
Since the opening of the West Hickory
field last February, fifty new wells have
been drilled there, which has helped ma
terially in livening up business in that
thriving village. OF this number only
FIVE were complete busters, although
many of the wells are small. The CON-
panies drilling the wells, and their loca-
tions are: South Penn, IA on the Carter
farm; Morrow Il Carson. IL on the A. j.
Siggins farm; Morrow, Carson q Co., 8
on Dale Island; Orion SigRins, IL on his
farm; Z. o. Pequignot, s on the W. p.
Siggins farm. With the exception of the
Orion Siggins lease, operations there are
practically suspended, owing to the lack
of water, and also to the severity of the
winter weather
