Following is list of letters romaining

Mr. Arthur Greonlaw, Mr. Goorgo Allon
Mr. Brady (Palutf r). Mrs. Laura Silvis.
D. S. Knox, P. M.
Gov. Stone has Issued a proclamation
designating Friday, Oct. 20 (not tho Mth,
as we stated recently), as autumn arbor
day, and earnestly reconmionds that tho
day bo observed by tho planting of trees
and by othor appropriate exercises.
Considerable commotion was mlstd
last woek in oi. elrelei over tho strike
inado by Tropor & Grovo, over in the
8uur Lako Hold. Tho wo 1 started at tho
ratn of 100 barrels alter boiug shot, and is
tho b-stunoyot found in that territory.
.rah, tho 5-.months-old twin child of
Mr. arVl Mrs. David Fonstcrinaker, died
M tho home of tho grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. John 'Wilson, Harmony township,
Wednesday last. This is the second of
this family's chlldron to die within a
'month.
Horeafter wo will bo obliged to re
fuse tho publication of monthly school
reports. Tho intorest in these reports is
confined to a very litnitod few, and tho
space taken up encroaches too much
upon othor reading matter of more gen
eral interest.
Tho new postoflico near Ouitouville,
this county, is called Musctto, and Win.
Shoup Is the postmaster. Tho olDco is lo
cated about a m ilo bey oiM Robert Gui
ton's placo, going toward Marlcnvilie,
and tho mails will be convoyed by carri
er from Vowlnckel, Clarion county. .
The stone work on tho now bank Is
pretty nearly comploted, and it is the
common remark of all who view the
work that a handsomer structure con not
bo found in this sectiou of tho State. The
bank people expect to occupy their n-v
quarters by tho first of December.
Arthur Rudolph of Newtown Mills
has a kick coming, and wo don't blame
Mm. His frionds and others persist in
calling him "Torn,'.' which is not his
namo nor anything like it. He wishes
horeafter to bo called by his right name
or not at all, which Is Arthur. Frionds
and foes alike will please take notice.
It will bo well for shippers of applon
to remember that t;.is year tho barrel
must be of legal dimensions or be
marked "short barrel" under penalty of
$.i for every small barrel used. Tho pre
scribed si.e Is, Head diameter, 17 inches;
length of stavo, 271 Inches ; bulge, not
less than 64 inches outside measurement.
Rural freo delivory of mail Las been
started in Westmoreland county, and
will be given a thorough test. The Ir
win Republican says "farmers, generally,
aro taking kindly to tho now system and
many have already put up boxes in front
' of 'thoir residences." Should tho scheme
prove a complete success the now order
of things will bo inaugurated throughout
the entiro country.
:During the past week the wooded
hills on oithor side of tho Allegheny have
been at thoir prettiest, tho varigatod
colors boiug exceptionally handsomo for
even this season of the year. Often tho
lrosts of autumn aro closoly followed by
chilling rain and slcot, which havo tho
effect to dull the otherwise beautiful hues
of the turning foliage, but this year tho
weather has boen just right to bring out
the most favoiablo effects, and tho scene
is simply magnificent.
As a token of appreciation of their
excellent sorvices rendered at tho big
lumber firo at Endeavor last week, Gon
eral Manager G. W. Warden sent a check
for ?25 to the tiro laddies who respondod
ao promptly to tho call for help, and
took up a string of boae which they
worked to good advantage till tho big
fire was under comploto control. This
handsome gift is all the moro appreciated
by tho boys becauso !hey had previously
told Mr. Warden they had no bill to ron
der and that their aid was entirely grat
uitous. Heavy shirts and pauU cheap at
Mils & Armstrong's. It
Tionesta's Isuac-Waiiou-j.lin Bush

duplicated the catch aud one more, mak
ing 31 of the tame v chaps lu two days'
angling. We'll not ask "who can beat
it 7" because there aren t any ten men in
the burg can get within shooting distance
of it.
Fred Dick, Tlouesta's fashionable
and up-to-date tailor, is kept busy as a
nailer these days, but he keeps up with
his orders and can always find time for
more. Mr. Dick's work gives perfect
satisfaction always, and h's prices are so
reasonable that ho has no trouble in hold
ing bis customers. A fine line of samples
always on baud to select from.
Application will be made next
Thursday for a charter by the gontlemen
Interested In the beet sugar project. Con
tracts for acreage for beet growing will
soon be submitted to the farmers of this
vicinity. This is one of the essontial
steps in the matter, as a sufficient nuin-
bor of beets to oporato tho factory must
be guaranteed. Mcadvillc Gazette.
The Farm Journal is tho boiled-
down, hit-tho-nail-on-the-head paper,cut
to fit tho wide-awake farmer aud villager.
We give the Farm Journal for tho bal
ance of 18E9 and all of 1900, 1901, 1902 and
1903, over four years, as a prize to evei y-
ouo of our subscribers who will pay up
all arrearages and a year ahead ; also to
every now subscriber who pays In ad
vance. '
Patrick Joyce was awarded tho con
tract lost Saturday for erecting the stone
abutments for tho new bridge which is to
span Tionesta creek connecting the now
road leading from Nebraska to Jug
Handle, the road commissioners ofGreon
township having found Mr. Joyce's bid
the lowest and best. Work has alreadv
begun and will be rushod to completion
as fast as possible.
Among the illustrations in that ex
cellent work, the Horse Book, written by
Judge Biggie, is General George Wash
ington's stable at Mt. Yernon. The chap
ter on stables contains many helpful
hints, and has tho plans and elevation of
an attractive village stable. Seo adver
tisement in our advertising columns.
The pi Ico Is 50 cents, free by mail ; ad
dress the publishers, Wilmer Atkinson
Co., Philadelphia.
The extremely modest editor of the
Cocliranton Times published tho follow
ing: "Wo have hanging up in our sanc
tum a plain black band of generous di
mensions, which appeai s to be too small
for a belt and somewhat too large for a
sleeveholder. Tho article was found on
the street, and in case the owner comes in
and proves property tho samo will be
turned over without the customary fee
for advertising. It is not a dog collar."
The Bell company is painting its tel
ephone poles in the borough, in pursu
ance of an ordinance recently passod hy
council, and the improvement is quite
marked. Tho Forest county 'phone peo
plo will doubtless go after their poles
also in a short time, Tho ordinance pro
hibits tho hitching of horses to the poles
or using them for advertising purposes,
thus giving thorn a cloan aud and rospec
tablo appearauoo when thoy aro painted.
The Junction House at Elulalia, a
dance hall, and a house occupied by sta
tion ageut W. T. Sanford, wore all de
stroyed by lire last Wednesday morning.
Tho buildings were all ownod by land
lord M. E. Graybill of the Junction
House, in which the lire oilglnatod from
a dofectivo flue. Very low of the goods
in tho hotel were saved, but Mr. Sanford
succeeded in saving about all bia house
hold efforts. An insurance of $2,000 on
the buildings is said to havo been carried
by Mr. Graybill.
Tho secret service buroau has re
ceived notice of a now and d.ingorous
counterfeit $10 eil 'er certificate, series of
1891, letter B, Tillman register and Mor
gnn treasurer, portrait of Hendricks.
The note a photo mechanical reproduc
tion, the face good, but rather too light.
Tho back is better than the face, most of
the scroll work being very good. The
note is on soft papor, probably two pioccs
of Japanese paper pasted together, and
the silk lines of the gonuiue paper are re
produced with care.
A case in which Mrs. Humes, wife of
Rev. J. A. Humes of Pleasantville, was
the plaintiff, and the Titusville Electric
Traction company defondaut was triod in
the Crawford county court-) last week.
The plaintiff was thrown out of a sloigh
in January last while driving over the
Traction company's tracks at Pleasant
ville, and so badly injured as to rondo;
bor a cripple for life. She sued for $20,
000 damages, and the jury awarded her
$8,873. Rev. Mr. Humes, who is a Moth
odist minister, was at one time stationed
at East Hickory, and the family are well
remembered by many of our citizens.
Prothonotary Robertson has received
for record in his office the largest instru
ment by several million dollars that has
ever been recorded in Forest county. It
is a mortgago given by tho American
Hide and Leather Co. to the Colonial
Trust Co. of New York and Frederick P.
Vorhees and wife, and covers property in
New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Wis
consin, Michigan, West Virginia, Ten
nessee and Pennsylvania. The amount
is for $10,000,000, and the big document
of 104 pages required $5,000 in revenue
stamps, which are in denominations of
$1,000 each. Many a poor cuss would be
tickled to death to mortgage his properly
for the revenue stamps alone.
There is now and thon an orchard in
this section of which it would scarcoly bo
right to say tho applo crop was a failure,
for instance, Uncle Solden Whitman's,
back from tho Tionesta crook about a
milo, in Tionosta township, A finer lot
of applos it would bo difficult to find in a
day's travol than thoso he brought to
town ono day last week. Thoy would
avorago at least three-quarters of a pound
each in weight, and many of them would
go above the pound mark, with not an
unsound one in tho lot. We doubt
whothor this section of the State contains
a better apple orchard than Mr. Whit
man's. Evidently Undo Selden has dis
covered tho "trick" in raising apples.

Farmer Dean finished another line
well on bis lease, back from Baum sta
tion, yesterday. It is said the well filled
up 300 feet In ten minutes when tho drill
was 6 feet in the sand. Some think it will
bo good for a 100 barrols.
The Presbyterian Synod of Pennsyl
vania will meet In Erie ou Oct. 19. This
Synod covers more territory than any
other organization of the kind in the
world. It includes all of Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and a part of Mexico.
Upon the roll of the Synod are 1,124 min
isters and 1,186 churches. The Synod
gave last year about $500,000 to home and
foreign missions and expended 12,500,000
in the support of its churches at home.
The existence of that loathsome dis
ease, small-pox, In a number of localities
in the Westorn part of this state has been
the sublect of attention from the State
Board of Health, efforts having been
made to quarintine the disease aud stamp
it out, but thus far without success. In a
recent bulletin the secretary of the board
mentions the localities where the disease
exists, and among these five cases are re
ported in the southern end of Jefferson
county. Fortunatoly in thoso latter days
the existonce of this disease does not cre
ate the panic among tho masses it once
did, medical science having demonstra
ted that it is Busccptable of successful
treatment, and can bo confined to very
narrow limits. Drookville Republican.
Mariab Catharine, wire of Edward
Slroup, died of paral'Bis and infirmities
of old age at her home on Hunter Run,
Tionesta township, Sunday, Nov. 8, 1899,
at 11 o'clock p. m., aged about 93 years.
Mrs. Stroup was a native of Germany
and her maiden name was Wiukleman.
She caino to this country In her early wo
manhood. She was married to Martin
Reeco, who died some ton oi twelve years
ago, and to them were born fourchildren,
only one of whom, Mrs. J. B. Wyant, is
now living. A number of years after the
death of her first husband she was mar
ried to Mr. Stroup, who survives her.
Tho deceased was well known through
out this section, having lived in this
neighborhood for many yoars. Slio has
had for many years a confiding trust in
Christ, and died in the hope of immortal
lifo. The funeral was held yesterday af
ternoon, Rev. R. A. Buzza conducting
the Hcrvlcs.
It wrenches our pride, but we'ie con
strained to concedo the claim of editor
Weuk that Forest county has better
toads than her neighbors. Tho moving
causes for this desirable stato of affairs
are not stated. We believe, however, that
the work and example of the late E. E.
Clapp, of President, have a share in it.
He set the pace by constructing the finest
pieces of highway in Westorn Pennsyl
vania, and most of his work bordered on
Forest county. Franklin Spectator. The
nspiration gathered from the work of the
late Mr. Clapp doubtless has had mach to
to do with our good road making, but
level-headed road commissioners, a ju
dicious expenditure ot the taxes, first
class wo 1-cared-for machinery, and a
fiioualy rivalry betwoen townships to
outstrip ono another in the matter of fine
roads, are the main elemonts that have
led up to this condition of things. Nig
gardliness in the natter of road-making
will toll against a community as quickly
and effectually as bad management and
ignorence. So far as our observation ex-
tonds, Venango county the upper end of
it is blest with very good highways, and
tlu above strictures can not apply to
those having cliargo of the road fund.

As to (Jiiiile Boards.
The law relative to the maintenance of
guide boards along the public highways
is a well-known statute in Pennsylvania,
but it is so frequently overlooked by the
proper authorities that it will not hurt
to repeat it again at this time :
The supervisors shall c ius posts to be
erected at tho intersection of all public
roads within their respective townships
(where treos are not convenient) with
boards firmly fixed thereon, and index
hand pointing in the direction of such
roads, on which boards shall be inscribed
in large and legible characters, the name
of the town, village or' place to which
such road may lead, and the distance
thereto computed in miles. If any su
pervisor shall, after ten days' personal
notico, neglect or refuse to put up or
keep in full repair, index boards as afore
said, such supervisor shall for every such
offense, forfeit and pay a sum notexceed
ing$IO. Constables are required by law to make
a sworn statement to each court of quar
ter Missions, stating whether or not . il
index boards are up, reporting particu
larly any that are not up.
