Christmas-tide Just past has proved

Joseph Chudoba, the wood turner at
the mantel works is certainly an artist lu
his line, and turns out some v ry neat ar
ticles in the shape of napkin rings, cigar
stands, etc., some of them containing as
high as 2.V) distinct pieces of different
colored woods and they are very novel
and pretty. One very difficult piece of
lathe work which he does is to turn out
a number of shells or hollow balls which
tit, one inside the other. One specimen
which we saw was composed of fourteen
balls, ranging in size from aboutone-half
aninch to two inches in diameter, eaeh
shell being composed of different colored
woods, and when placed together fitted
so compactly as to' be noisoless wheu
shaken. Mr. Chudoba is a German aud
speaks very little English, but he can
make bis little chisel and lathe "talk" iu
auy old language.
It affords us much pleasure to ex
tend heartfelt congratulations to Bro.
Muse of the Vindicator, who took advau
tage of the holiday season to make him
self the happiest mail iu all the country
round, as will be noted by our list of
marriages in this issue. 'I he bride is one

the happy pair being united by
the Rev. Mr. Hall at the parsonage, from
whence they came direct to Tionesta,
where James had newly furnished his
nleasnnt now home for the reception of
his bride. In unison with all their many
friends here the Republican joins iu
extending heartiest good wishes for the
future, and bespeaks for them the bless
ings and toys of life that follow a union
of hearts so congenial and happy.
Monday night about half past ten
o'clock while Charlie Bovard was driv
ing the Doctor's horse arouud to his of

and a first class job he made of it too.
Alter covering the ground pretty thor
ouehlv in town, ho crossed the river
bridge and sped down the railroad track
to near Hunter station, three miles below
town, where he got into tho river. Par

horse out of the water, when he broke
away again and started back up the ral.
road track, this time going to Hickory
seven miles above Tionesta, where ho
again crossed the river on the ice to the
east side and came home. All told the
animal must have covered a distance of
twenty miles or over, and was none the
worse for his trip, but the sleigh was

Tbe new officials of the county were
inaugurated on Monday and took up the
work of their several terms at noon. It
is now Judge Crawford vho takes the
place of Judge J. A. Nash, who has filled
the place with credit to himself and tbe
county for the (past five years, and in
his retirement takes with him tbe good
wishes of very many friends. Mr. Craw
ford, we feel safe in saying, will
lose none of his popularity while on the
bench, though at times it is a very trying
position. Prothonotary Robertson made
such a correct, painstaking mid popular
official that he was elected to snccoed
himself without a struggle. Sheriff John
W. Jamieson takes the place vacated by
Sheriff Walker, moving to his new quar
ters yesterday. Sheriff Walker has made
a very creditable record, being attentive
to every duty aud ti eating all with cour
tesy, and in his legal acts being correct,
careful and always discrete. He retiree
with the good wishes of a large majority
of our people regardless of party. Deputy
Sheriff' Sawyer, who has been cor. tin u
ously connected with tbe office either as
principal or deputy for the past twelve
years, retires with Mr. Walker, aud
with tbe good wishes of all. He never
neglected a duty while in that office, and
his services have been very valuable to
his superiors throughout his long incum
bency. Mr. Walker's successor, Mr.
Jamieson, will prove himself an efflcl
cient and popular official, and when he
he again lays off tbe official cloak wo
predict it will bo said of him,' he made a
good Sheriff. In the Commissioners' of
fice there Is a complete change, the old
board, Messrs. Coon, Wblteman and
Blum retiring to make room for Messrs.
Herman. Carson aud Morrison. The out
going board has bad much to conteud
with during tbe past year and a half in
connection with the erectiou of a new
county borne. The office of County Com
missioner is a difficult one to fill and re
tain friends, and when a work is thrown
upon them outside of the ordinary it
makea the position, delicate at best, still
more irksome and trying. This has been
the situation with the retiring board.
They have had to contend with consid
erable unjust criticism, but having done
their duty conscientiously and without
favor, or affection, time will prove that
they have acted wisely, economically and
with the best interests oi the taxpayers at
heart. Forest county will haye a beauti
ful county home when completed and to
tho old board of officials very mi eh of
tbe credit will be due. Tho new board i
composed of men who havn tbe welfare
of the community in mind and whom we
believe will administer its affairs with an
eye single to the greatest good ol ull.
They have the saino difficult position to
fill and wc surely wish them a full meas
ure of success in the unenviable task
before thorn.
The board' of Auditors has but one
change in its composition, Mr. Abbot go
ing out and George L. King : oing in.
Both tli" new and retiring officials are
capable and efficient, and the accounts o
the county will be 'carefully looked after.
Tbe new Jury Commissioners are Levi
G. Reynolds aud Peter Youngk. They
will do their duty fairly and conscien
tiously, us did their predecessors, Mr.
Shields nnd tho lute Ju 'son Carpmter.
To both the old and tbe new officials
the Republican extends the compli
meuts of the season, wishing them all
tho comfort am) consolation that can
come out of the reflection of a delicate
duty conscientiously performed."
Sudden Death ol Sidney Smith.
Sidney C. Smith one of West Hick
ory's eldest citizens, died very suddenly
at his homo on Thursday, Dec. 28, 1899,
He had been affected somewhat with
heart trouble, but of late had been iu bis
usual irood health, and a few minutes
before his death bad been chatting pleas
antly with his family at the supper table,
When the meal was finished the members
of the family were sitting about the room
in conversation when Mrs. Smith noted
that her husband's head hail dropped to
one sldo. He breathed but once or twice
after she reached and supported him in
his chair. Dr. Morrow was quickly sum
moned, but all was over when he reached
the house. Death came without warning
and without a pain or struggle.
The deceased was born In Plaltsburg,
N. Y., Jan. 20, 1841, and was thorel'ore
aged 68 years, II months and 22 days.
IIo camo to West Hickory iu April about
the year 1867, and with the exception ofa
few years spent at Beaver Valley, bad
ni'do that his home since. Jan. 7, 1871,
bo was united in marriage with Mary A.
Klinestiver, who, with ono son, Harry,
and one daughter, Laura, are left to
mourn the loss of an ever choerful, kind
and affectionate husband and father. .
On July 20, 1871, under tho pastorate of
Rev. J. A. Hume, at Beaver Valley, Mr.
Smith was baptized and admitted to full
membership ill tbe M. E. church, of
which he had since remained a faithful
and consistent member. As a citizen be
was highly esteemed, always jovial and
ever ready to lend a helping hand to those
iu neod of assistance, and he will be very
greatly missed by all who knew him, and
iu the community where ho had so long
resided his loss will be deeply regretted.
Funoral sorvices, conducted by Rev. C.
C. Ruinberger, wore held in the West
Hickory M. E. church Sunday at 1
o'clock, the interment taking place in
Riverside Cemetery, Tionesia, Sunday
evening.

A Style That
Stands for Comfort.
Tha double breasted Reefer Overcoat is the style of greatest satisfac
tion for a lively boy.
It is short eoougb to let h'uu run with complete freedom. Its big col
lar may be turned up to protect bis ears, on coldest, smrmiest days. Its
numerous pockets both serve to keep his hands warm aud to tarry buy
ish necessities.
Io a word, it is the coat of coals for comfort during the cold, stormy
weather that is here and that is coming
YounayTuy this style almost any where-but is it wise to? There's the rub.
Is it wise to trust 1 1 luck for quality? Anyway it Is unnceeksary. There is no
element ot chance in a purchase at our Boys' Clothing Department.
Irish Frieze Double-Breasted Reefer Overcoats of unquestioned htiength and
dependability lined with good Italian cloth Sizes 4 to 10.
$5.00.
Cbiiichilla Reefers, lighter weight than a irieze, but jut as comfortable for a win
ter coat. We have three qualities,
$3, $4 and $5.
Tp'RTiJTi! With every Boy's Reefer, a
tpair of Barney & Berry's Club
Skates, and. in addition we'll keep his
clothes in repair, free, for one year.
