The Philadelphia Press, in refering to
the sale of the Blossburg Oil Co.'s hold
ings in the Gaines field, says: "Six
teen citizens of Blossburg did well in
oil. They invested SSOO each in the
company that recently struck a gusher
in the Gaines field, and for the past few
weeks the production has been netting
the respective stockholders $195 per
day. The sale of the property to the
Standard Oil Company for §500,000
gives each of the sixteen $31,250, in ad
dition to what they already realized.
Such luck would put an ordinary man
in good humor." State Senator, Hon.
Walter T. Merrick, is one of the sixteen.

Two Representative Citizens.
The Elmira Gazette recently publish
ed an edition in which the representa
tive, professional and business men of
Northern Pennaylvania were favorably
mentioned. The following refers to
two of Cameron county's citizens:
FIHST NATIONAL BANK, T. B. LLOYD,
CASHIER.
This institution was established in
1884 as a national bank. The present
officers are: George A. Walker, presi
dent; William Howard, of Williamsport,
vice-president; T. B. Lloyd, cashier; VV.
S. Walker, assistant cashier. The di
rectors are: 15. W. Green, J. P. Felt,
Josiah Howard, N. Seger, W. S. Walker,
George A. Walker, J. E. Smith, W. L.
Sykes and William Howard. The in
stitution has a capital of $50,000, the
surplus is $35,000 and the deposits run
ui> to 5175,000. Mr. T. B. Lloyd, the
new cashier, was born in Columbia,
Lancaster county, Pa., in 1858, and is a
sou of W. F. Lloyd, now a well known
business man of Emporium. After re
ceiving his education in the public
schools of Emporium, Mr. Lloyd learn
ed the jewelry business in that place,
being engaged in it from 1875 to 1877.
In 1878 he met with a serious accident
which somewhat changed his business
plans. In 1879 he was made deputy
prothonotary, register and recorder of
Cameron county and served four years
under J. W.Frank, the prothonotary.
In January, 1883, iie was elected to the
oflice of prothonotary, register and re
corder. He was re-elected four times,
serving in all sixteen years. His fitness
for the office and faithful discharge of
duty was so appreciated that he was
elected continuously without any op
position, a remarkable fact in political
annals, /{e then became teller in the
First N ;ional Bank of Emporium and
filled t 3 position for five years. On
the '.)t day of January, 1900, he was
electee cashier of the bank.
The directors of the bank contem
plate in the near future to construct an
addition to the rear of the bank, giving
more ample facilities. Mr. Lloyd is
superintendent of the M. E. Sunday
school, having filled that office for eight
years. He has one of the most success
ful Sunday schools in western Pennsyl
vania. For ten years past Mr. Lloyd
has been secretary of the Emporium
Board of Trade, and since 1888 has been
voluntary observer for the Pennsylva
nia state weather bureau. In 1882 he
married Miss Mary Budding; he has five
children. Mr. Lloyd is a gentleman of
high reputation as a citizen and busi
ness man, and as cashier of the First
National Bank will find in the future a
still wider scope for his business ability.
C. M. THOMAS, ESQ., COUNTY TREASURER.
In the grand old state of Maine the
subject of this reference was born at
Presque Isle in 1851. His ancestors
were partly of Scotch and partly of
Welsh extraction. Ilis lather was L. J.
Thomas, a farmer by occupation. Af
ter receiving an academic education in
his native town, Mr. Thomas engaged
in lumber operations, which has since
been the business of his life. He came
into Pennsylvania in 1872 and worked
by the month in the woods for about a
year; going to North Bend he was em
ployed by a lumber firm for two years.
He then went to Driftwood, where he
spent five years, being part of the time
a member of the firm of Longley &
Thomas; then for sixteen years he was
identified with the lumber operations
of F. H. and C. W. Goodyear in Potter
county. Just now he is engaged in
lumber operations at Ligonier, West
moreland county. Mr. Thomas is a
gentleman thoroughly posted in lum
ber operations and is a man of high
standing in business. In polities he is
a Republican and has served as a mem
ber of the Emporium council. Two
years ago he was elected treasurer of
Cameron county and has since so served,
discharging the duties of the office in
his usual business-like manner. Mr.
Thomas makes a capable public officer.
He is assisted by Mr. F. S. Coppersmith,
his deputy, also an excellent business
man. Mr. Thomas is married and has
four children.
It Is True'.
An exchange hits the nail squarely
011 the head in the following: It's
j mighty queer how people will rear up
on their hind feet and paw the air when
some item of news happens to be a little
off in facts, yet these same people would
j not tell you the item if asked for it be
fore the paper was printed. There are
| some people from whom you could not
j draw a local with a corkscrew—they
j absolutely don't know any news. But
| after the paper comes out, they will say
! you were misinformed about some local
happening and wonder why you can't
get things straight.
I consider it not only a pleasure but a
duty I owe to my neighbors to tell about
the wonderful cure effected in my ease by
the timely use of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I was
taken very badly with flux and procured
j a bottle of this remedy. A few doses of
it effected a permanent cure. I take
| pleasure in recommending it to others
I suffering from that dreadful disease.—J.
|W. LYNCH, Dorr. \V..Va. This remedy
I is sold by L. Taggart. mar
According to the plans and expecta
j tions of the Republican managers, eon
! gress is to adjourn on Monday, June 11,
| eight days before the Philadelphia con
! vention.
