Pure. chaste, sweet old News! Wherever
1t goes 1t finds a hearty welcome. May
1t ever flourish, and may Jim Borland

james Haslet, who still finds m uch
pleasure in the raising of high-bred
poultry. is sending a pair of White Or
pingtons to the exhibition of the Pitts
burg chicken fanciers' association, where
they will be entered in competition with
class of more than a hundred of that
strain. We predict that Jim's birds will
not be far down the list when the prizes
are awarded.
The Pleasantvile basket ball team
will play the team of the Union Church
Athletic Association at the gymnasium
here next Friday night, the game to be-
gin at $3.50. The Plessantvile team has
been playing for some time and as the
home team has been putting in some
good hard practice, good game is ex-
pected. Turn out and give the boys
your support. Admission, 20 cents.
"A message was received at Erie last
week giving the official statement of
Governor John X. Tener to the effect
that he refuses to interfere in the case of
Alton V. Hoover, the convicted wife
murderer. The Governor refused to ap-
point commission in lunscy. Erie
newspapers have been max ing strenuous
efforts toward bringing about reprieve
in the case of Hoover, who is sentenced
to hang.
Glass l. of the Presbyterian Sabbath
school gave upward of hundred of their
patrons fine treat at their Martha Wash
ington tea in the assembly room of the
church last evening. A program of vo-
cal and instrumental music was most art
istically rendered before an appreciative
and delighted audience. whilo the dainty
"tes" served by the costumed "Marthas"
in the prettily deco rated dining hall
proved satisfying close to a pleasantly
spent evening.
The Oil City Billiards. "Looking
Backward" column Friday republished
an item of 25 years ago as follows: "Both
the river and Oil creek were at food
stage and considerable damage was done
TO property on the lowlsnds. The B., N.
Y. & P. railroad bridge, at Hickory, was
washed out and The track, for a distance
of three miles, covered with ice and drift
wood. At Tidioute two boys, James
Black and John Young, were on the ice
when the gorge broke. Black was en-
quilted and drowned, while Young had
leg torn off by the huge, grinding CAKES
before he was rescued"
We heartily agree with the exchange
which says that the newspaper is blamed
for number of things ii cant help.
Such as using Partially in mentioning
visitors, giving news sbout some folks
and leaving others out. 1t simply prints
all the news it can find. Some people
inform it about such things and others
do not An editor should not be expect
ed to be able to know the names and resi-.
dences OF all your uncles, aunts and
cousins. Tell us about them. It's news
that makes the newspaper, and every
man, woman and child can become asso-
ciate editors if they only will.
Miss Mary Stevens, of Columbus,
Pa, near Cory. was drowned in Column
bus lake Thursday morning. She aud |
Paul Phelps, of Cory, started to cross
the lake on the ice when 1t broke and |
both went into the water. Phelps sup
ported Miss Stevens and called for help,
but the ice crumbled and it was imposs-
BILE to find anything strong enough TO
sustain them. The cries were heard by
Roy Shepherd, who was able to reach
Miss Stevens and Phelps. Nat Mcclure
also went into the water to the rescue and
all four soon became benumbed by the
cold water and the girl sank, they being
unable to save her in their weakened con-
dition.
The Warren Times of Saturday said
concerning the mysterious murder which
occurred in that vicinity. "Three weeks
ago this morning the dead body of Emile
Amann was found shot to death by an
bullets and as yet no one has
been arrested for committing the awful
deed, although the best detectives in the
United States have been working on the
case for nearly three weeks. The Pink

catchers in the country, are still busly
engaged in weavinga chain of evidence
around the guilty persons, that will be
Several council and county
