j. II. Squire, whose farm adjoins the
County Home farm on the south. brought
in a raddish the other day that has them
all skinned mile, we should say. The
monster measured 26 inches 10 length by
l3 inches around the waist at the bulge,
and II any gardner can beat that, or even
tie 1t, we'd be pleased to see the fruit.

Pierce county, WASH, that Mr., Orion K.
Osgood and Mss Pearl Albaugh, both
formerly of Endeayor, we're united In

this happy occasion.
Owing to the continued illness of Mr..
Sibley at his home In franklin, Judge

ment of the audit OF the campaign ex.
pense accounts until the second Monday

which was the date fixed by the court for

Last Wednesday while Mr.. and Mrs.
j. A. Small OF Nebraska were driving
to Tionesta, Mrs. Small had the misfor-
tune to lose her handbag somewhere on
er, having gold band, and containing a
one and ten dollar bill. A letter bear
ing Mr.. Small's name was also in the bag.
Mrs. Small hopes that it has fallen into
the hands of some honest person who
will return it, either to this office, or to
the owner In person.
The Forest Barge company, with j.
A. Lawrence and A. w. Stroup as pilots,
started two fleets of four barges each for
the lower market Monday morning. This
cleans up the company's output Of forty
barges this season, The Nebraska COM
psny started number of barRes Satur-
day, but the low stage of water in the
creek and the high winds were almost too
much for the unwieldy craft, but by
dint of hard scrabbling Manager Lew
Cook and crew landed IL barges and 4
flats at the river bridge, which have since
started Pittsburgward. Six more barges
are grounded in the creek, but 1t Is
thought they will come off with pond
flood behind them.
Dubois has been given the distinction
of having been selected by the board OF
trustees of the postal savings bank sys-
tenn as the one town in Pennsylvania in
which savings bank is TO be located.
Ons bank will be established in each
state and territory. Owing to the small
ness of the appropriation for the first
year, 800, 900, II has been impossible to
establish banks during the first year in
the large cities. 1t is not likely that
banks will be established in Pittsburg
until after the beginning OF the next fiscal
year, July /, 1911. Most of the cities
selected are industrial centers where, ac-
cording to the trustees, wage earners will
be especially benefited.
On Saturday, October Goth, not being

girl friends gathered at her home, 1t be-
ing her fourteenth birthday. When she
arrived home and entered the sitting
room she was surprised to find them all

faces. 1t being the noon hour, Edna
took her seat at the piano and played
few fine selections, while her mother and
friend, Mrs. Wm. Wolcott, prepared a
lunch, of which all partook to their sat
isfaction. After lunch they all repaired
to the sitting room again and played in
teresting games until later in the day.
Before departing they all gave her little
gift aud departed wishing her many more
such birthdays. Those present were.

Blum, Erdie Shaffer, Edith Davis, Luella
Blum, Arlie Blum, Alice Behrens, Ethel
Behrens, Esther Weingard and Elsie
Wolcott.
--Tionesta celebrated Halloween in
fine style Monday night. The town was
out on masse, and fully four-fiiths were
in costume and mssque. Marshal Eden,
with Geo. Henshaw's drum corps headed
procession numbering about 200 and
marched through Elm street TO Haslet's
corner and back to the starting point,
where ranks were broken and the even
ing was given up to all sorts of hilarity
and fun making. 1t would be hard to
find jollier crowd, free from any kind
of roughness or coarseness, but all having
the best time imaginable and every min
ute of the time. One Of the pleasing
features of the evening was provided by
the Ladies Aid society of the Presbyterian
church in the form of a lunch and market
in the church dining room, which was
we'll patronized by the merry makers.
Mrs. G. f. Watson entertained at her
home in genuine Halloween style, a
large number of her friends, in costume,
