The Blizzard editor, who evidently
motors out OF a pleasant autumn after
noon, finds a lot of beauty along the way
and tells about this way: "Persons wish
ing to feast their eyes upon scenery worth
looking at should drive out Plumer
way and take a look at the hillsides OF
Cherry Run. arrayed in their autumnal
split skirts of many colors. Or, If time
permits, take u longer drive to President,
going up one side of the river and down
on the other. Or go up through Titus
Vile, beyond Ce~nterville, and view the
landscape DER. 1t is worth seeing. An
other beautiful landscape view may be
obtained driving from Fryburg to Clar-
ion. There is a nice, short drive between
Tionesta aud Tidioute. following the
river bank, and the scenery for thirty or
forty miles along Tiones's creek, between
Tionesta and Sheffield, is simply beyond
description. And these are only a few of
the many attractive places to be visited
within a short run from Oil City. Those
who fail to improve the October oppor-
tunities make a mistake"
