M. L. Rhodes has an ancient coin in
his possession, which he found one day
last week. The coin is of copper and
about the size of the old copper cent, but
1t is undoubtedly English. Through age
and wear the inscription is about oblit-
Grated, but enough remains TO show the
figure ofa woman and the date l746 on
one side, while on the other appears the
head of man with the inscription III
Rex yet visible.
Apples are greater luxuries in New
York than oranges. While single oranges
of the best variety can be bought for 8
cents, the best apples are being sold for
II cents each. And don't forget that you
are living in the greatest apple producing
belt in the world, right here in Forest
county, and for several miles north OF us.

"A meeting was held at the store OF
F. X. Lanson last Friday evening for the
purpose OF organizing for the Forest
County Summer School for 1911, at which
we understand the following officers and
directors were elected President, T. f.
Ritchey; secretary, J. G. Dunn; treasurer,
j. G. Geist; directors, S. S. Sigworth,
John G. Jameson, S. Il. Maxwell, L. l..
Zuver, w. II. Hood, j. b. Muse, c. f.
Felt, d. w. Morrison, L. j. Hopkins, f.
j. Bovard. The tuition was fixed at the
sum of 81 90 and the length of the term
at eight weeks, to begin at the close of
the Tionesta public school.
Now that the schools have begun their
sessions, we must not forget that our
children are still our children and the
more interest We show in their school the
more its efficiency is increased. There is
no teacher worthy of the name who is not
pleased with the judicious advice and as
sistance and sympathy from the parents.
The gulf Is too wide between the home
and the school, and the more we help to
bridge it over the more we are improving
not only. our own children, but the
general tone of the school. If the children
see that the parents appreciate their
teacher, they are much more apt to ap-
preciate him or her themselves, lend
cheerful and willing obedience to her
wishes, aud have certain pride in the sue
cess of the school.
