County Treasurer Brazee disposed of
tifty-tive tracts of land at his lax sale
Monday afternoon, which leaves 25 yet to
dispose of and which will be offered at
the adjourned sale taking place at 1:30 p.
m, June Both. The bidding at times was
quite spirited, one tract of 65 acres lying
Just north oftbe County Home farm, in
Hickory township, and assessed in the
name of Cascade Petroleum Land Asso-
citation, being bid to upward of $4,000.
But 1t was redeemed Immediately after

/ General Manager S. B. Shook of the
Coleman, Harter q Mccormick lumber
ing plant, day or so.sgo received con-
signmeut of trout the like of which, for
size and general all round beauty rele-
gated all other exhibits a mile in the
shade. But Mr.. s., having also Travelled
some In his day, knew he couldn't get
away with the catch in a months eating,
so he invited a number of congenial
friends down to the Goshgoshunk lodge
last evening to enjoy the feast with him.
1t is not on record that any turned down
the invite. but on the contrary there was
something dong to those speckled beauts
when the faithful gathered about the
festal board. Our reporter claims to have
created noar famine at DelmOnico's,
but to have undertaken such stunt at this
feed would have been suicidal, and that
friend Shook has set pace as an enter
tainer that none but the most foolhardy
would undertake to distance.
An important business deal was con-
summated in Oil City last week Involving
a change OF ownership of the Smart d
Silberberg stores in that city TO the G. H..
Smith company of Warren, Pa. The new
company will take over the business on
the first of July. The Messrs. Smart and
Silberberg have built up wonderful
trade in their line in the % years in which
they have been associated as partners,
and from the time of their occupancy of
the handsome block which they finished
in 1901, they have enjoyed the distinction
of having one of the finest stores between
Pittsburg and Buffalo, and in their retire.
ment from business they carry with them
the best wishes ofa very large circle of
friends and patrons, not only in Oil City,
but the nearby towns as we'll. The new
owners will not be strangers to the people
throughout this region, and their large
experience in mercantile lines aud ex-
celent business reputation will fit in per-
fectly with the good name left by the s.
Il S. company.

Saturday afternoon last our town had
the distinction of entertaining Hosea
Paul, Esq, Recorder of Cuyahoga county,
Ohio, which embraces the city of Cleve-
land and suburbs. Mr.. Paul was once a
familiar figure in this section, when Tio-
nesta was part of Venaugo county, back
in the early part of 1866, when the oil ex-
element ran rampant throughout this Sec
tion and an acre of swamp land COM
manded fabulous figures. Mr.. Paul then
followed civil engineering and, with his
brothers, surveyed and plotted that Sec
tion of Harmony township through which
