Suckers have been taking the hook to
some extent in the past few days, and
through the agency of the boys this tooth
some morsel has found its way TO the
tables of some of our citizens. At this
time of year the sucker has the bug on
all other tribes of the water, even the am
phibious bull frog being cast in the shade
by this succulent denizen of the deep.

The Pennsylvania Railroad is seek
ing to bring about greater efficiency un-
der its block system. The idea is to
move more trains and with greater dis
patch on shorter piece of track by

Since the severe elect storm of last
week tho local telephone companies have
had all their available help on the go in
putting their lines in order. The lines in
every direction were down and greatly
damaged, in many sections the poles be-
ing broken and uprooted for half mile
at stretch. The only line in operation

but it will be some days before all the
damages are repaired.

me. started in little too fast and got
lame with the gout, as usual, but am bet
ter now. AS write this can look out
the window and see the ice house but no
ice, while the sun is shining warm and
bright, and the bees are working" And

Warren were in Tionesta few days OF
last week engaged in launching the little
steamboat, "City of Warren" which had
spent the greater part of last summer
