The season for killing deer closes to

The latest swindle going tho rounds
is a fellow with a supply of Lima beans
saturated with oil of cinnamon, which
he sells at ten cents apiece, with the story
that his brother brought a quantity from
Manila and that they are a sure protec

this section the eood housewife should

Looks like we were having an old
fashioned wintor, During several days
of the past week we've had very snappy
weather, with a fair sprinkling of snow ;
enough in fact to afford good deer hunt
ing. Tho back channel was frozen over,
tho ice on Monday being sufficiently
strong to bear up a good sized skater, a
thing that hasn't happened this early in
tho season tor a number of years past.
It scorns all the district return judges
Congressional, Senatorial and Judicial
must meet again at tho respective
places to compute the voto cast for tho
several candidates. When they met be
fore the soldier vote had not arrived from
Undo Sam's newly acquired possesions
and it was found necessary to adjourn to
a later dato. Tho third Friday after clcc
tion is tho latest dato upon which tho voto
can bo received, and that will be Dec. 2d,
but even then tho Manila official voto will
not havo arrived. When tho law was
passed giving soldiers fho right to cast
their ballots in the field, a contingency
such as now appears was not thought of.

Thursday was an ideal Thanksgiving
Day the ground covered with a beauti
ful white mantle o! snow and the crisp
atmosphere made all nature cheery and
smiling. Family gatherings wore many,
and tho reunion of friends with such per
foct apetizing weather conditions, seemed
all the more joyful. The union services
at the Presbyterian church were well at
tended,and all told the day soemed one of
unalloyed pleasure to all.
Dr. Talmage in speaking of country
newspapers says : "A newspaper whose
columns overflow with advertisements of
business men has more influence in at
tracting attention to and building up a
city or town than any other agency em
ployed, People go where thore is an en
terprising community. No power on
earth is s strong to build up a town as a
newspaper well patronized, and its power
should be appreciated."
The practice among boys, and some
who consider themselves young men, of
jumping on and off moving trains at this
station is growing worse right along, and
surely some day wo will have a horrible
accident to chronicle as a result of this
evil. Boys, boys, take warning before it
is too late, for If you escape injury by the
cars you're liable to suffer by the law, as
it is whispered a detective is on the watch
and taking names.
Mrs. John Welter, mother of Andrew
Weller of Starr, this county, died at her

mother of six children, five of whom are
still living. Her son Andrew, above
mentioned, made a special trip to see her
lust srping, which was their last meeting
In life. He attondod her funeral which

Little Forest county at the lato elec
tion voted on the question as to whether
or not they would have a poor house and
the rosult was a majority of 417 votes
being cast In favor of the proposition. It
is said that the Commissioners over thore
have already had an abundance of land
offered them for tho poor farm but the
commissioners are disposed to take plen
ty of time to fully determine the merits
and advantages of every location sug
gested. Clarion Democrat.
For the first in all tho years of his in
cumbency of the position of court crier
our old frlond James A. Scott, Esq., of
Marionvillo, was unable to attend court
last week, owing to illness. Mr. Scott Is
upward of 80 years of age, and has held
the position of court crinr almost contin
ually for nearly forty years. He seldom
rode to town when coming here to attend
his duties, and frequently walked the en
tire distance, about 25 miles. All his
many friends will hope to see him in his
accustomed chair again at next session of
court.
That the wave of prosperity has
struck us is plainly shown by the wave
of the many plumes ou the beautiful hats
worn by tne ladies of this place. But
what wonder, when you can go to tho up
to date millinery firm of F. Walters &
Co., and got a hat, trimmed In the latest
stylo of the art, so much cheaper than
you can in tho city? Now is the time to
order your new hat, for the firm will be
vory busy for the next three weeks un
packing and arranging the elaborate stock
of holiday goods which they have ordered
and which are now arriving. See their

S. S. Towlor, who was elected to the Leg
islature from Forest county at the late
eloction, is a resident of Marionvillo. He

The suit ai ainst the Tionesta Gas Co.,
in which the heirs of Abner Hammond
were plaintiffs, on trial in court as we
went to press last week, resulted in a
verdict for the Gas Co. The case was
fought inch by inch, but the Court's de
cision was against the plaintiffs and the
jury so returned its verdict. The case of
th,o St. Albans M'fg Co., vs. Tionesta
M'f'g Co., Limited, resulted in a verdict
for the plaintiff for $215.58. Charles M.
Tilus et. al., vs. Wm. Bradish, a suit in
ejectment, the jury rendered verdict in
lavor of the plaintiff. In all of the fore
going suits the defeated parties have
moved for new trials. All other cases
on the list wore continued to next term.
Emma, wife of John Thompson, of
Nebraska, Pa., died at her home at about

after an illness of but a few clays dura-
tion. The deceased, whose maiden name

edge that the sympathy of his entire ac
quaintanccship goes out to him in his
dark hour of affliction.
Miss Fannie Siggins of West Hickory,
Forest county's delegate to the State Sab
bath School convention, held at Johns
town in October, met the Sabbatn schools
of tho M. E. and Presbyterian churches
at the latter church last Sabbath and gave
her report of the convention, which was
an exhaustive and very interesting ac
count of what was accomplished at that
largo and representative gathering of
Sunday school workers. Mr. O. F,
Miles, delegate of tho Oil City and Vicin
ity Union of the Y.P.S.C.E. to the State
mooting at Harrislmrg recently, also
made his report at this mocting, Both
papers were listened to with marked at

Teachers' Institute.
The teachers' institute will bo held in
the Court House, Tionesta, Dec. 12-16.
The date fixed for our institute this year is
somewhat earlier than usual, but when it
becomes understood that this date was se
lected because some of the talent could
not be gotten at any other time, we be
lisve it will gi ve general satisfaction.
Sometimes it is possible to select a date
and got talent to suit: at other times it
becomes necessary to adjust the date to
fit the talent. The latter was our condi
tion this year.
Our institutes, during the past two
years, at least, havo been first-class. In
arranging for the coming institute, no ef
fort has been spared to make on improve
ment upon the past by giving tho people
an Institute which will surpass its prede
cessors, not only in the lino of entertain-
meut but also in regard to its instructive
features.
The arrangements lmve boon completed
and an excellent "bill of fare" has been
provided. Following are some of the
different "courses :" Instruction by Dr,
W, W. Black, Miss Lelia E. Partridge
and others : lectures by Miss Fartridge,

Iu Memory of Lewis Williams.
Lewis Williams, whosy death occurred
at Kollettville, from injuries received
while working on Salmon Creek mill,
Oct. 29, '98, was born in Wisconsin, April
13, 1873. After the death of bis parents,
while yet a small child, he was brought
to the home of his aunt, Mrs. Henry
Smith, of noar East Hickory, Pa., whore
he lived until six years of ago, at which
time he was taken to the home of Elias
Albaugh, where he grew to manhood.
Here he had a good homo and was consid
ered as one of the family. He was a gon
erous, kind hearted young man , and had
been a professor of religion for about two
years. He was married Sopt. 24, 1807, to
Miss Maggie Platner, of East Hickory
Immediately aftor thoir marriage Mr.and
Mrs. Williams begau housekeeping at
Salmon Creek, whore they -lived until ro.
ceutly, when they moved to Kollettville,
where the accident occurred which caused
bis death, tho account of which was given
in tho county papers at the time. Suffice
it to say'thut alter the accident ho real
ized tho end was near and asked thoso
about him, who were praying people, to
pray for him, and In this critical hour ho
felt the sustaining grace of God, and ex
hortod all thoso who were present to
meet him in heaven, nearly his lust
words being : "O death, whero is thy
sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"
Mrs. Williams, in her bereavement, has
tho heartfelt sympathy of the peoplo of
the entire commi'uity.
"Death conies equally to us all,
And makes us all equal when it come.'
