WEDNESDAY, MAY 16
The coining of Spring is associated lu the minds of
most people with house-cleaning and the general renovat
ing that makes the immortal words of I'ajne "There's
no place like Home" a hollow mockery aod burlesque.
I rue, there is no placo like home, at such times, and we
are very glad of ii. But after order Las come out of
chaos and a man ceases to run the risk of death by lock
jaw from coming in contact with the business end of a
tack while hunting the colic bottle in the dead of a dark
uight, "There is no place like home" again meos some
thing to humanity and mau decides that after all house
cleauing pays.
It is wonderful a hat a lot of beauty can be gotten
out of a few dollars' worth of paint and paper property ap
plied. And it doesn't take many dollars' worth either,
when one cau buy paper as low as Co cents a single bolt.
Good paper, too. We have as good a line of paper as can
be seen elsewhere in Tionesta, perhaps better, but we'll
lot you judge for younelf . 8 to that.
A word about paint: Unlike wall paper, low-priced
paint isn t cheap. In wall paper you get good value for
what you pay little or much, but there is only one kind
of paint that is cheap and that is the best that can be
bought. John Lucas A Co. have been making paint for
a great many years. It may not be the only good paint
made but there is none better a.rd you rre not taking
chances wheu you buy it, as you are in purchasing paints
made by comparatively new and obscure manufacturers.
It is the only brand we koep. Color cards can be had
for the asking.

last Thursday. Ho was driving down

horse and all were carried over the bank,
a distance often or twelve feet. The rig
was badly smashod but the horse was not
much hurt. Mr. Youngk was gotting
along all right at last accounts.

Andrew Small was ouite severelv
hurt last Monday morning on the Col
tins railrcad on Little Coon creek. He
was bringing three car loads of logs down
the grado when tho front car jumped the
track. This brought tho other cars to
getber with a bang, and Mr. Small being
in the middle of the train was so severely
squeezed as to sustain tho fracturo of a
couple of his ribs. At last accounts he
was resting quietly at his home in No
braska, and his physicians report that he
will got along all right, leaving no per
manent Injury.
The platform from which lumber Is
loaded on the cars at the depot, fell down
last Thursday evening and with it sever
al thousand lath and a lot of railroad ties
and lumber went over the river bank. It
is a peculiar circumstance that a large
amount of hauling had been done on the
platform that day and there were times
when thoro were throe teams with loaded
wagons and a half dozen men on the
platform at the same time, and still the
contraption refused to go down until evo
ning, when no one was near and consid
erably less than the usual amount of
lumber was piled upon it.
The cantata presented at the court
house last Friday evening was surly one
of the finest ever given in Tionesta by
either local or foreign talent. It would
be useless to attempt to particularize
whero each individual member of the
companY shone like a star. Tho cast
embraced upward of forty persons, and
each in Oriental costuino, presented a
most striking, unique and handsome
appearance. The choruses, which occur
frequently in the drama, were beautifully
rendered aud alwaj a elicited a storm of
applause, while the solos and dueta were
exquisite. Mr. Ritchey and Miss Maudo
Dennistcu, in tho title role, woro the re
cipients of many compliments on the re
alistic inannors in which they personated
the characters of "Jephthah and his
Daughter." The very incloment weather
proved the only disappointing feature of
the entire affair, but notwithstanding this
drawback the audiance was a large one,
not only on Friday evening, but on Sat
urday evening as well when the play
was repeated by request. A handsome
sum was netted to the fund bi Ing raised
for repairing and refurnishing the Pres
byterian Sabbath School room.

bore with wonderful patience for one so
young, the innocent spirit of Ciaudie,

tenement of clay and peacefully passed
into ctornal rest at three o'clock yester
day morning. The child had been ill for
nearly a year, his trouble first appearing
In an affection of the loft eye, which later
developed Into cancer. Tho fond parents
had watched for months, hoping against
hope, for a favorable turn in the little
aueflorer'a condition, but all efforts were
powerless to stay the ravages of the dis
ease, and they could only administer
such comforts as would ease and relieve
the child from too great suffering. Mr.
and Mrs. Cantiold have the sympathy of
all our community in this affliction. The
child was aged 4 years, 1 month and 8
days. Funecal services will be hold to

Major's Celebrated Cement.
Wo are in receipt of a letter lroin Mr.
Major, the famous cement man, of New
iorw.in wmcn ne sets form some very
Interesting facts about Major's Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent, better than other cements, for which
similer claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and ether
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr. Major tells us that
one of tho elements ot his cemeut costs
$3.75 a pound, and another costs $2.G2 a
gallon, while a largo share of the so-called
cement and liquid gluo upon the market
are nothing more than sixken-cent glue,
dissolved in water or citrio acid, and, in
some cases, altered slightly in color and
odor by tho addition ol cheap and useless
materials. Major's cement retails at
fifteen cents and twenty-five coots a bot
tle, and when a dealer tries to sell a sub
stitute you can depend upon it that his
only object is to make larger profit. The
profit on Major's cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
Aud this is doubly true in view of a fact
tha' each dealer gets his share ot the
benefit of Mr, Major's advertising, which
now amounts to over S5000 a month
throughout the country. Insist on hav
ing Major's. Don't accept any off-hand
advice from druggist. Always have a
nnnnlv nf tn1nr'R I 'Amant. nn hnnrtii. Tf

you are at all handy (and you will be
likely to find that you are a good deal
more so than you imagine) you cau re
pair your rubber boots and family shoes,
and any other rubber aud leather articles,

Leathor Cement. And you will be stir
prised at bow many dollars a year you
will save. If your druggist can't supply
you, it will be forwarded by mail; either

Cut Prices on Job Printing.
We want to talk a littlo to our merch
ants aud others who consumo printing.
We have a few plain facts we want to
present to them.
It's not a case of "beef" or scold, but
simply a comparison.
The cheap printing man has boon in
own in person and by sample.
Ilis prices are low(?)
They are considerably lower than any
of the local oilices ask.
Can't we do It at the same price?
Rut that's another story, and will be
considered again.
You kuow it's easy to say to tho print-
: "Oh you are too high ; we can get
this work for so and so.
Observe this now :
The furniture man in the city adver
tises goods away down, and we go to the
local dealer, and ask him about it.
And he truly says: "Inferior article."
The city dentist says he will make teth
at half the price charged here.
Tho local dentist truly says : ' Inferior
work and material."
The city tailor says he will make a suit
for a whole lot less than the local man.
The local tailor truly savs: "Not woll
made."
The oity druggist advertise medicines
at cut rates.
The local druggist says: "Inferior
and worthless drugs."
The city grocer, dry goods man, aud
others quote prices tho local man don't
touch, but the local truly remarks : "Not
tho samo goods."
Tho city doctor advertises to euro you
for a small price, and the local physician
uiotly but very truthfully says;
Quack."
With a daily paper before us just uow
we soe things advertisod, so we know
that printing is not the only commodity
onereu away down, un no, not by a
good bit.
And now tho moral:
No story is worth anythiug without a
moral.
Tho moral Is: "Tho local printer is
not 'tho only pebble on tho bench, who
on't compete with the cut-throat fakir."
Mr. liu-ineHH Man, you don't compete
siiccessiuiiv cither; why do you expect
our neiKiioor 111 me priniery 10 no so.

Try looking at tho "cheap man"
