-Tionesta friends are informed of the

Our old friend John w. Myers Of
Tionesta township gave us pleasant
call last week. He passed his SD birth
day on the 9th inst, and for kid of that
age he's about the spryest we've seen yet
and he tells us he still makes fair hand
in the harvest field, not all of the younger
men getting away with him in the round
up.

vile, Okla, last week, being called home
on account of the serious illness of his

get back occasionally and meet as many
of the "old boys" as possible.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. S. Haslet of Sheffield

sides the excellent article of baseball
which Sam always puts up, he still wears
good sized belt as an expert with the
rod and line, having brought his friend

the removal from Tionesta of our good
neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs. Sam. T. Carson

Bradford. They shipped their goods last

in the Mexican county oil field his re-
movsl to that section became almost i'm
perative. They bear with them to their
new home the kindest wishes of a host Of
friends in this community for a full
measure of happiness and prosperity.
