What might have been a very
disastrous fire, but which wu6 discov
ered iu time to prevent much damage
occurred at tbe handle factory of
Landers & Wyman at 2 o'clock, Sun
day afternoon. The fire originated
in the boiler house and caught from
a pile of ashes which was just on the
outside of the building. Tho mill is
very near tbe hose room and a stream
of water was soon playing on the
flames. The mill is located just back
nf the Presbyterian church, and had
the Gre caught in the night there is
very little doubt but that structure
would have been destroyed. David
Blum was quite severely burued
about the ankles by jumping into
the ash pile, but was uot seriously
hurt, and as a whole, all turned out
very luckily.
Memorial Day.
One moro Memorial day has been
addod to the past, and the nation's dead
wore appropriately honored In this place,
and vicinity, with fitting ceremonies and
soul-slirrlng eulogy. Capt. Geo. Stow
Post had the manngoment of the affair in
hand, and, although there were not
nearly bo many people in town as on
former occasions owing to the fact that a
new post has recently been formed at
Hickory which took a large number of
the members of Stow post, the different
foaturos of the program were excellently
carried ont.
The day opened fair and beautiful, but
as the time approached for the exercises
the heat became almost unbearable, but
tho vets showed thoir old time bravery
entered into tbe spirit of the occasion
with thoir usual energy.
In the morning a committee of six
drove out from this place and decorated
the graves of the veterans burled In the
Evangelical cemetery in Klngsley town-
sliip and Bartholomew cemetery in Green
township. After their return an elabo
rate dinner was served at the W. R. C.
headquarters for which the ladies re
ceived much praise from the veterans
and their families.
After a short rest and Bocial greeting
all were ready to participate In the exer
cises In Riverside comolery, which com
menced at 2 o'clock, when the post
started from thoir headquarters lead by
the Tionesta Silver Cornet Band, and the
Sunday schools of tbe different churches

edifices.

years past. More genuine respect and a

casion was apparent throughout the

A new summer resort has been
opened at the old Cook homestead,
Cooksburg, Forest county, by Mr.
iiert Cook and Bister Mrs. Calvin, as
will be eeen by an advertisement in
another portion of tbis paper. A
more desirable place could not be
found in Pennsylvania for this pur
pose thau the homestead of tbe Cook
family, for nature has lavished ber
beet efforts in beautifying tbe sur
roundings. Numbers of fine springs
of mineral water gusb from the sur
rounding mountains, and musically
trundle over pebbly beds tn mingle
their waters ot those of tbe beautilul
Clarion river, which flows peacefully
aloug the southern edge nf the Cook
estate, and where the finest of boat
ing and fishing can he had. Fine
tracts of timber, too, are in close
proximity, in which the hunter can
find enjoyment for bis skill. Taken
ou tbe whole, it would be bard to find
a plensanter place to spend the hot
summer months. Clarion Repubh

Mary Boyer, of Delaware, must
have been a'very bad egg, to have
inspired the following obituary from
a local paper. "While it is almost a
crime to speak ill of the dead, we
feel it our duty to tell the truth
about Miss Mary Boyer, wbo died
last night. Sho never spoke a deceut
word about any being, living or
dead; and slander sprang from her
mouth like toads from a girl in the
fairy tail. If she goes to heaven we
don't want to be there, and we be
lieve we voice the sentiment of every
roan, woman and young lady in this
burg. We gladly contribute a quar
ter for ice for Mary. She will ueed
t ."
An exchange speaks wisely iu
giving the following very sensible ad
vice: "Drink nothing without seeing
it, sigu nothing without readiug it,
and make sure that it means nothing
more than it says. Don't go to law
unless you have nothing to lose ; law
yers' houses are built on fools' heads.
In any husiness never wade in water
where you cannot see the bottom
Put no dependence on the label of a
bag, and count money before you ac
cept it. Spe the sack open before you
buy what is io it, for he who trades
in the dark aides to be cheated."
Why don't our temperance
women "get in the gBme" with their
sisters in surrounding towns and
erect a fountain aud watering trough
in some prominent place iu towo,
where both man and beast could
quench their thirst. The cost of
erecting such a beneficial institution
would not he very great aud we are
of the opinion that the water com
pany could easily be induced to fur
nish the water free.
