Mrs. Jennie Darlington, State Depart
ment Treasurer, will be the installing
officer.
The second number of the lecture
course was given Tuesday evening of
last week by the Rev. Roscoe Luper
Foulke, of Erie, Pa, and this mum ber
alone was well worth the price paid for
the entire course. Dr. Foulke has
good voice, a charming personality and
pleasing delivery, and he csptivated his
audience from the start. II lis subject was
"Unchiseled Gems" and dealt with boy
life. He made an impassoned plea that
the boy be given square deal, and that
his audience was in thorough sympathy
with him and the subject was evidenced
by the hearty applause accorded him
throughout the evening. Indeed he made
such good Impression on his hearers
that he will be greeted by packed house
should he be engaged for a return date.
DR.. Foulke is not wholly a stranger to
our people, having been stationed at
West Hickory some years ago.

last Wednesday closed deal for the pur-
chase of the Partridge block in this
place from the owners, Mrs. Jennie G.
Partridge, of Pittsburgh, Pa, and A. II.
Dale, of Oakland, California. The pur-
chase price was 81, 700, which was fer the
main building, the residence annex,
owned by Mrs. Partridge, not being in
cluded in the deal. 1t is the intention of
The lodge authorities to retain their hall
on the third floor, which has been their
meeting place for many years, and the
purchase of the block will give them
permanent home in good location. 1t
toward fitting up the second floor for
parlors, banquet hall, kitchen, ETC., and
further Improvements, such as a new
porch. new walk and painting, are con-
templated next year. The first floor will
remain as a store room. When all these
improvements are completed Tionesta

order in this section.
-Supt. J. q. Carson has sent out dur
ing the past week large number of the
booklets containing the program of the
Forest County Teachers Institute to be
held in Marienville next week. The
book is the hest ever issued in the county
and compares very lavorably with those
issued by the superintendents of many
of the larger counties. 1t contains an
announcement of the institute, list of
the instructors and entertainers, the pro-
grams of the institute and directors con-
vention, instructions to teachers and di-
rectors, instructions on the course of
study, examinations for l9l3 eighth
grade examinations and high school en-
trance, as well as a list of the teachers
and directors, and an honor roll of pupils
of the different schools in the county who
we're not absent from school during the
year 1911 l-l9l2 The honor roll is an en-
tirely new feature and a good one, as IL
will promote better attendance in the
future. There are 1853 names in the list
this year. At the end of the book are
few pages devoted to school advertising
aud supplies. The work is from the
presses of the FOREST REPUBLICAN.
