MARGARET MORRISON,
whose maided name was Calvin, was
born In Adamsvillo, Crawford Co., Pa.,
June 30, 182(1, and died at West Hickory,
Forest Co., Pa., February 22, 1897, aged
70 years, 7 months and 22 days.
Iu the place where she was born she
grew to womanhood. She received a
good common school education, aud
taught In the common schools. In 1846
she was united in marriage with Dr. S.
P. Morrison, who then resided In
Sewickly boro', now a part of Allegheny
city, Pa. She with her husband after
thoir marriage resided In Evansburg,
Crawford Co. Later they removed from
there, and Dr.Morrison died at Milledgo-
ville, Mercer Co., in 1874. In 1S88 Mrs.
Morrison went to Pittsfield, 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 quite 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 she 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 memair.
On Wednesday afternoon funeral ser
vices, conducted by Rev. J. E. Hillard,
were held iu the M. E. Church at West
Hickory, aud, afterward, the body in
terred In the Hickory Cemetery on the
East Side.

13 horizontal stripes, 13 arrow heads and

The statement is just as true of a
community as it Is of a man. No com
muuity prospers by luck or accident.
There is always a reason for what may
at first glance seem like mere chance.
A town benonies the home of a great in

luduces the capitalist to invest his money
at that practical place. If we have any
advantage or inducement to present thoy

And now to think we're out of rhyme,
Methinks it is a shame.
We thank those pilgrims true and wiae,
Who told us of our sad lot,
And think hereafter we will rise.
And slug them with their own sdoi.
Then comes Commissioner of Highway ;
O. P. Lemon had seventy-lour;
Next A. H. Downing, by the way,
Had sixty and six more.
Auditor. J. G. Richards, don't yo 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, 1 Know.
Wm. Richards heads the list; he couldn't
ask for more.
And C. Zuondel, he wasn't so slow.
I. C. Delo eight and forty had ;
Now Cal., he ran quite ngoi.

Was'also out ot sight.
Overseer of the Poor, (mark one),
So thn ha lot savs :
John Watson is the lucky one,
For about throe hundred days. .
J. A. Zuendel, spelled with a O.,
Whs on the ticket and in lue wrecg :
He ran as hard as could be.
Until he got it in the neca.
For Tax Collector, our present one,
With the usual vote or more ;
J. M. Zuendel, whose oount was Bl,
And G. S. Copeland wltuirt.
Township Clerk, now let me see ;
A good big vote was cast,
, W. Osgood had forty-four,
A record that will ferevor last.
R. J. Flynn had ninety-two,
Now there s no use in laiain ,
All yon will have to do.
Is to ssy he had a walk-in.
Pathinastoi-s, well, 15 were all that sought
lame,
Which time and space will not agree,
To mention each by namu,
For none of them are me.
I think this ticket good and sound,
And on it will stake my socks;
For no better can be found.

Wall PaperltS
We have just received a car load of
Wall Paper for spring and summer trade.
We have some of the handsomest pat
terns that ever came to Tlonosta, and our
prices, why it is surprising how cheap
we can sell them. The reason we can
sell 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 them within the
reach of everyone.
We have a few patterns left over from
last year that we will sell at your own
price.
