Which Will Employ From 75 to 100 Men. Through the efforts of a number of our usfleing business men arrangements avo been made with certain outside par ties to erect a wood manufacturing plant in this place. Negotiations have been nlotly going on for some time and mat ters woro. finally brought to a "locus" on Monday ovening and arrangements made to erect a $20,000 plant on the sight now sed as a driving park. Plans are now being drawn and the laying of tho foun- ation will commence in two or throe ays, and the work will be rapidly push ed to completion. This plant will start p with a crow of forty-live skilled labor ers and expects before fall to employ 75 r 100 men, and that means a great deal to Tionesta, as the lumbering industry which has been our main stay in the past is gradually going away from us, and our lilcnH have come to realizo tho fact that we must have manufactories ot some kind here. Now that the ice has been broken lot the good work go on. Don't lay down, now that we have got a start, but keop tho boom a going, and lets have Greater Tionesta" that will take in 'ittsburg and Buffalo. Another little industry that has quietly started is the Tionesta Cob Pipe Comp any. This has been a sure tiling for some time past and it is expected that the fact ory will be ready for operation in a coup le of wocks.as tho machinery is all ordsr od ai d Is expected to arrive every day. This company will manufacture cob pipes of all discriptions, and as there are only two other factories of the kind in the country, the industry is an assurod succoss. Tho ofllcers of the company are K. C. Heath, president j R. M. Herman, secretary and business manager, and Henry Ringbeck superintendent. This company will employ about fifteen bands the year round. COMMENCEMENT. First Grailiiating Exercises of Tionesta Public High School. The first graduating exercises of the Tionesta Public High School were held in the Court House last Friday evening, May 30, 1897, and they were a success in every particular, the entire program, with but one exception (the drill by pu pils of primary department) being reu dered. Tho ending of the first term of a high school in Tionesta will long be remem bored by those present as the entertain ment was a very enjoyablo one, and the teachers are deserving of great credit for tho good that has been done during the term . Tho vast oourt room was packed with the patrons of the school and their ap preciation of the efforts of the pupils was plainly demonstrated by the hearty man ner in which they applauded each num bor on tho program. Space will not per mit us to mention every number on the program as we would like, but of the graduating class, which was composed of only two, James D. Morrow and Minnie K. Reck, we must say that they "did thomsclves proud." The paper entitled "Character, Its Cost," which was read by Mr. Morrow was a masterpiece and waa well read and recoived. Miss Reek's pa per, "Olden Times," was excellently gotten up nnd her rendition of it was fine and enthusiastically received by the audience, which shows that these two young pooplo start out Iu life with te best wishes of their numerous friends, and if they are as successful iu thoir bat tles with the world as they have been in their search for scholastic learn ing their frionds will not be disappointed. Thoso of tho junior class who are de serving of special mention are Mr. Jay Baukhead, Misses Kittio Hepler, Ruth Clark and LilHo Bradbury. The essays and recitations of these young people wore well rendered and the appreciation of the audience was shown iu the ap plause, and we have no hesitancy in pre dicting a successful graduation for them all next year. Missos Minnie Buzza and Eva Davis of the advanced intermediate department are botli deserving of great praise for the wonderful elocutionary power which they displayed in their respective recita tions, "How We Saved St. Michael," and "The Ride of Jennie McNeil." The rainbow drill by the girls of the intormediuto department was very pretty and well done. The vocal music by the school, which was under the directiou of T. F. Ritchey, Esq., was very good. Miss Kathleen Joyce, teacher of the primary department, favored the au dience by rendering iu her excellent manner that beatiful recitation, "The Legend of Bregenz," which wasjso thor oughly enjoyed by the audience that she received au encore. County Supt. E. E. Stitzinger gave a very entertaining and Instructive talk to the patrons and pupils which was well received. Ho complimented tho teachers ami pupils very highly for the work ac complished iu tho past eight months of school and urgently requested all to lend every means iu thuir power to tho cause of education and to "make the Tioussta public high school not only the best school iu Forest county, but iu any county." The finalo of tho evenings entertain ment was tho presentation ol'diplomas to tho graduates by Prof. R. N. Spoor, the presentation speech being giveu in verso, which wus a history of the mi-IumjI since it has been under his charge, and the mas terly manner in which it was gotteii up and rendered shows that Prof. Spoor tuts considerable ability as a pool. The schools of Tionesta havo certainly been wonderfully advanced under the man agement of Prof. Speer ami it is very probable that he w id hi roluineil as prin cipal next year if it is his desin.
