Obituary.
MARGARET MORRISON,
whoso maided name was Calvin, was
born In Adamsvillo, Crawford Co., Pa.,
June 30, 1820, and died at West Hickory,
Forest Co., Pa., February 22, 1897, aged
70 years, 7 months and 22 days.
In the place where she was born she
grew to womanhood. She received a
good common school education, and
taught in the common schools. In 1846
Bhe was united in marriage with Dr. S.
P. Morrison, who then resided in
Sowickly boro', now a part of Allegheny
city, Pa. She with her husband after
their marriage resided in Evausburg,
Crawford Co. Later they removed from
there, and Dr.Morrison died at Milledge
ville, Mercer Co., in 1874. In 1S88 Mrs.
Morrison went to Pittsfiold, Warren Co.,
Pa., and from there she came to West
Hickory where she has resided for the
past two years.
Eight children were born, to Dr. and
Mrs. Morrison. Seven boys and one
girl. Four of these children are now liv
ing: Charles W. Morrison of North
Clarendon, Pa.; C. S. Morrison; S. W
Morrison and E. E. Morrison, both of
West Hickory, Pa.
When quito young she became a mem
ber of tho United Presbyterian Church,
and has since lived, and has died, in the
faith of her early girlhood. When not
where sho could have the privileges of
her own chosen church home she wor
shiped with those of another name, es
teeming it a privilege as well as regard
ing It a duty ; as she said more than once
to the writer of this brief memoir.
On Wednesday afternoon funeral ser
vices, conducted by Rev. J. E. Hillard,
were bold iu the M. E. Church at West
Hickory, aud, afterward, the body in
terred in the Hickory Cemetery on the
East Side.

For those who believe in the fatality
of the number "13" tho American quar
ter dollar is about the most unlucky ar
ticle thoy can carry on their persons. On
this coin there 13 stars, 13 loiters In the
scroll which the eagle holds in its claws,
13 feathers in its wing, 13 feathers in its
tail, there are 13 parallel lines on shield,
13 horizontal stripes, 13 arrow heads and
13 letters in the words "quarter dollar."
But we are not superstitious and four
quartors are just as acceptable to us as a
dollar in any good United States coin for
a year's subscription to the Republican.

The statement is just as true of a
community as it is of a man. No com
munity prospers by luck or accident.
There is always a reason for what may
at first glance seem like mere chance.
A town beeomes the home of a great in
dustry because it has something which
iuduces the capitalist to invest his money
at that practical place. If we have any
advantage or inducement to present thoy
should be brought to the front and urged
upon the attention of prospective invest
ors. We cannot afl'oid as a community,
to patiently wait for something to turn
up, for luck to drop a gig mill in our
midst. We must go to work. Ex.

Poor lad.
In thinking that your readers
Perhaps would like to know,
A bout our recent election,
We now will try to show.
Que thing we wish to state,
Perhaps you will know,
Thst this township is Republican,
About a score or so.
I will now begin to relate.
For the ofliceof Judge of Eelectlon,
We had two fine old candidates,
Who are of the propor qualification.
J. B. Carpenter, the lucky man,
Got the enormous vote of 72,
While Wesley Whkehtll has done all be
can,
For ho got seventy, too.
Now this reads Strang as you'll see,
Dock was so firm he would not budge,
And he had two of a majority,
So now we call him Judge.
The next is Inspector of Election,
A place so easily won ;
We have R. W. Burdick, who stands for
protection,
And G. S. Copeland for 18 to 1. "
Now Township Treasurer next we see,
With Chas. Bauer at seventy-eight,
And B. J. Day at sixty-three.
Now Bauer always ran ata furious rate.
I know that some will not agree "
And think me rather rank,
For giving Chas. such a majority,
Because he deposits in the Forest Co.
Bank.
We wish to say and have them under
stand.
We cannot see just how
Wo have so many neighbors true and
grand.
Who offer their assistance now.
We'vo run our township all this time
And never asked for help or fame,
And now to think we're out of rhyme,
Methinks it is a shame.
We thank those pilgrims true and wise,
Who told us of our sad lot,
And think hereafter we will rise.
And slug them with their own shot.
Then comes Commissioner of Highway ;
O. P. Lemon had seventy-four;
Next A. U. Downing, by the way,
Had sixty and six more.
Auditor, J. G. Richards, don't yoa see,
Had seventy and seven ;
For his opponent, Berlin, R. D.,
Lacked some of reaching seventh heaven.
For School Directors there were four,
Who were all good men, I know.
Wm. Richards heads the list; he couldn't
ask for more.
And C. Zuendel, he wasn't so slow.
I. C. Delo eight and forty hail ;
Now Cal., he ran quite light,
H. A. Zuendel, grand old lad,
Was'alao out of sight.
Overseer of the Poor, (mark one),
So the ballot says ;
John Watson is the lucky one,
For about three hundred days. ,
J. A. Zuendel, spelled with a G.,
Was ou the ticket and in the wreck ;
He ran as hard as could be.
Until he got it iu the neck.
For Tax Collector, our present one,
With the usual vote or more ;
J. M. Zuendel, whose count was 81,
And G. S. Copeland with 54.
Township Clerk, now let me see ;
A good big vote was cast,
G. W. Osgood had forty-four,
A record that will forever last.
R. J. Flyun had uiuety-two,
Now there's no use iu talkin',
All yon will have to do.
Is to say ho had a walk-in.
Pathmasturs, well, 15 were all that sought
fame,
Which time and space will not aicree,
To mention each by numu,
For none of them are me.
I think this ticket good aud sound,
And ou it will stake my socks;
For no bolter can be found,
With the exception of yours,

Miles L Armstrong,
KEPLER BLOCK,
Wall Paper!
We have just received a car load of
I Wall Paper for spring and summer trade.
We have some of the handsomest pat
terns that ever came to Tionesta, and our
prices, why it is surprising how cheap
we can sell them. The reason we can
Bell so cheap is that we bought them from
the right house and by buying a large
lot at one time and securing the discount,
we are able to place theui within the
reach of everyone.
We have a fow patterns left over from
last year that we will sell at your own
price.
