' WiAfciut doubt Forest county excolls
any in the State in the matter oi country
roads. .The highway between Tionesta
and Marienville could almost be called a
boulevard, bo smooth, wide, dry and free
'from stone is it. Except for now and
then a slight grade a good team ot horses
can speed along tue entire distance of
twenty-two miles without a single stop
on account of mud or roughness. And
this particular road is only a sampli of
what .you find in any portion of the
county. People who travel much through
the country tell us they know within
four rods of when they cross the line into
Forest county. And so it is, we beat the
State in good roads. Lot us take pride
in keeping up this record.

Harry Thompson came down from
Nebraska last Saturday evening and

George Bortcil has taken Mart. Port-
erfielu's place in tho well shooting busi
ness in this locality, the latter having re
rigned his place cud says he will no long
er follow the hazzardous work. George
put in his first shot at a well up on the
Powell place, Hickory township, last
Saturday, with good success, the well re
sponding with a fine flow of oil. It's a
pretty "risky" business, but George ev
idently thinks it's do more so than fight
ing Spaniards armed with Maussor rifles.
Next Friday evening, Sept. 22, For

ceremonies, a nice lunch will be served
in the hall by a number of the ladies, and
members of tho order are invited to bring
their wires or sweethearts as the case
nay bo. The Lodge will meet at 7:00
o'clock on this occasion.
A person will leave town by a sido
street, come home in the dead of night,
remain silent about it all tho time, and
after the paper is Issued go about roasting
the editor for never giving him a notice.

Wm. Lawrence roturned from liis
western trip last Saturday,having among
other places visited Ward, Colora
do, the flourishing gold mining town,
where he met all the former Tionesta
boys. He took a little trip with Davey
Hilands up Into the snow capped tnoun
tains, above the timber line, where they
found an abundance of "the beautiful,"
and so distinctly is the line marked that
within two rods of the edge of the snow
green grass and flowers grow luxuriant
ly. While there the boys cut a bee tree
and were rewarded with a good catch of
honey. The mining business is flourish
ing and some rich leads are boing found
in that section. Davey and Sam and John
Clark are about ready to tap the pay
streak in one of the best locations in that
territory, there being no question of its
turning out richly. Mr. Lawrence found
his old friends William and John Hul
Ings there in the enjoyment of good
health and spirits, and both expressed a
desire to be remembered to old friends In
this section. Davey.that package of Dill's
Best is all right. We've tried it. Thanks,

about 58 years, and loavlog a large fami
ly, was shot and instantly killed by a
neighbor, Benjamin fleorgo, who mis
took him for a woodchuck, near his home
at Grand Valley last Sunday afternoon.
The two bad been life-long friends. On
Sunday Hollenbeck went looking fur
bees and was bending down, when be
was spied by George, who was bunting
weodchucks with a Winceester rifle. The
latter'a aim was deadly aud a moment la
ter Hollenbeck fell to the ground a
corpse, the heavy missile having passed
clear through his brain. Georga was al
most crazed by his fatal mistake, but
gave the alarm. A coroner's jury exoner
ated George trom blame in the case.
-The fall mouths are here aud winter

Scowden & Clark, whoso new ad. will be
found on the fourth page, are ready for
all comers with a stock from which it
will be easy to auit yourself. Their
stoves and ranges are calculated for ev
ery kind of fue) lrom natural gas to hick
ory saplings, and all of the most mod
ern and approved patterns. And the
beauty of it all is they havo put the price
at the smallest possible margin. A com
plete line of hardware of every descrip
tion, and a stock of nice but inexpensive
breech-loading shot gum will also be
found at their store house. Give them
call when in neod.
Lanson Bros, are now in complote
control of the situation so far as the
grinding of grain and the turning out
of a superior at tide of all kinds of flour
goes. Their fine new roller process
flouring mill is now in excellent running
order with ono of the best roller millers
in the country at the helm, and their out
put of wheat and buckwheat flour is of
vory suuerior quality. The farmers are
invited to bring in their product as fast
as they wish, it will all be promptly tak
en care of, and grists turned out in short
est order. Always see that your grain is
dry. No mill can turn out good flour
from the damp grain. They will accept
in exchango any quantity of grain, but if
you should want it "gristed" the quanti
ty must not he less than five bushels.
Try Lanson Bros, once and you will be
pleased with their work. Soe new ad. in

Marienville Express of last week :
Thos. Hope, an aged citizen of Jenks
township, died early Sunday morning at
the home of G. D. Eldridge, where he
had been living for some yoars. Mr.
Hope came to this section from Phila
delphia thirty years ago. He was a rela
tive of the Scolts, and for some years
made his home with James Scott and
son. His exact ago is not known, but he
was about eighty-two years old. He
had never been married and htd no near
relatives. The funeral was Monday af
ternoon. Hays Walters.of Tylei sburg,
was badly injured on the bolting saw on
the ebinglo mill at Parrish Thursday
night of last week. He was the fireman
on the mill and was giving some atten
tion to the light near the bolter, and ap
parently had forgotten that tho saw was
there. When he remembered about it he
had a badly cut right arm and two fing
ers on his left hand were also cut. He
was brought to this place and Drs. Tow-
lor, Stoneclpher and Yingling dressed
his injuries. Although badly used up it
Is thought his arm can be saved.
-The farmers of the United States
have long needed a good work on Swine,
a practical, concise and carnmon-sense
book without any padding or humbug
about it. They have it In the form of
No. 5 of The Biggie Books called Biggie
Swine Book. It is profusely illustrated
with photographs direct from life of the
different breeds of hogs, etc,, etc. Much
attention is given to western and eastern
practices, in the disease of hogs, especial
ly to chotara, to feeding, breeding,butch-
ering and the carving of moats for home
use and market. There are 144 pages
printed on tha best paper and bound
handsomely in cloth. Seme breeders
have thought it wai not possible to make
good photograph of a hog, but the
score or more of handsome engravings
made directly from photographs will go
tar to dispel this illusion. All the lead
ing breeds aro shown and briefly dis
cussed in the text. See announcement

Tidioute received a bad scborcbiug at
an early hour Sunday morning last. At
3:30 fire broke out In F. D. Lincoln's de
pigment store on Main Street, causing
total loss of stock, as well as ol bis house
hold pools in the second story, occupied
as a dwelling place. From t is building
the flames spread to adjoining buildings
owned by Johu Siggins, tha first floor of
which was occupied by Kinnear Bro.'s
dry goods store, the second floor by the
boarding house of C. L. Grey. The
flames were stopped in the secoud floor
of this building aft. r a hard fight by the
fire department. The building occupied
by F. D. Lincoln was owned by Mrs. S.
Tipton, and is a total loss, being partially
insured. Lincolu's loss is $8,000, partial
ly insured. Giay's loss total, insurance
foOO. Kinnear Bros.' stock badly dam
aged by water, partially insured. Sec
ond floor of .Sigxins' building badly
wrecked, fully covered by insurance.
The Lincoln family and the occupants of
the Gray boarding bouse narrowly es
caped, being compelled to flee for their
lives in their night clothes, so rapid was
tho spread of the flames.
The Veterans' Reunion At Marienville.
Tho occasion of the fourth annual re
union of the Forast County Soldiers' As
sociation, held at Marienville last week
was a perfect success and reflects great
credit upon the patriotic people of the
stirring young city of Marienville. The
day whs a perfect one in every respect.
The business meeting of the Association
at 10:00 a. m. was full of liie as well as
harmony. The only contest was for the
meeting place of the Association next
year, which on a close vote was decided
in favor of Endeavor. . Clarington will
have little or no opposition for the honor
in 1901. Couuade W. E. Witherell of
Eudoavor was elected President of the
Association, having no opposition for
(.aid honor. The past Secretary and
Treasurer were re-elected for tbe coming
year.
Marienville has long since been noted
for its good things as well as for its good
peoplb, nor was this au exceptional occa
sion. In speaking of the dinner we can
do n more than to quote Judge Irwin :
'It would do houor to tbe gods." At 1:30
tho Association marched to the school
grounds, headed I'y tbo martial band.
From there the line of inarch was tak. n
up back through town beaded by the cor
net band and more than three hundred
school children. This affair was the
most beautiful and inspiring of all the
day's program. We honor the teachers
mid children, and congratulate them on
their perfect success. Marching to the
opera ball speech making was in order.
Past Dept. Commander, Capt. Cuiu
mings, delivered one ot bis ablest ad
dresses, full of deep thinking, calm, and
inspiring. The Captain makes no fail
ures and is one of tbe noblest of tbe no
ble. Comrades Irwin aud Towler were
listened to with equal pleasure by the
la: ge assembly. The Camp fire at 7:30
was lively and full of real uierriuent.
Cummings, Towler aud many others cast
faggots on the fire which brought more
then silent smiles from all present, not
soon to pass out of our memory.
We boliove there is more pleasure iu at
tending our home reunions than iu tint of
a Do pa tment or National Encampment.
Wo say tliis after having an experience iu
all. Among our visiting comrades from
a distance were Jumes and C. P. Rey
nolds of Sibley, Iowa, formerly members
of Company G, 83d P. V. Upon their pa
triotic breasts they bear to their distant
homes the badge of our Association.
Long live the boys and friends of our
Forest County Soldiers' Association.
