the occasion. He has the rare gift of
adapting himself to and concentrating

Friends here have been pleasantly
surprised to learn of tbe marriage of Miss
Rosa D., eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs,
Wm. L. Hunter of Tionesta, to Rev.
Carroll Smith, on March 25, 1903. The
marriage ceremony took place at Fair
view Mission, South Africa, and was per
formed by Rev. Mr. Broad head, and their
present residence is Germiston, Trans
vaal, South Africa. They met in Califor
nia while on their way to the African mis
sion field, and this happy union is the re
sult of the pleasant social relations which
sprang from that meeting. The bride's
many Forest county friends will wlsbber
and her husband many years of happy
married life.
Two weeeks ago yesterday a strange
dog appeared in Tionesta, of the shep
herd breed, and proceeded to trim up
about two-thirds of the dogs in town,
having no respect to size, color or con
dition. The fact tl'at the stranger kept
quite busy at the trimming up process
pretty much all forenoon gave rise to the
suspicion that he might be suffering
from hydrophobia, and an attempt was
made to shoot the dog, but failed. He
swam across onto tbe island, and possi
bly continued on his journey westward,
for nothing further was seen of him
here. The day before the dog's appear.
ance here it is said he came through
I'loasantvilleHnd fought with several dogs
there. Last Friday a dog belonging to
Marvin Benedict, of that place, died with
symptoms resembling rabies. And now
there is a small mad dog scare on tap.
Burgess Lanson has requested dog own
ers to tie them up for the next ten days
to await developments, anil bis request
is being generally complied with. It is
altogether probable that nett ing serious
will develop, and that the strange dog
w ill turn out to nave been Homing nioro
than a good scrapper who had failed to
meet his match in battle. He showed no
disposition to bile any other animal, aud

MRS. JANE
OBITUARY.
GROVK.
Our aged citizens aro falling like the
leaves of autumn, Oue by one they are
slipping away from us, and to the list is
added this week the name of Mrs, Jane
Grove. When a useful lifo has reached its
three score years and ten aud we know
that its course is neariy run, there is still a
painful shock, a deep sense of loss when
such a life is called away from our midst.
And such was our experience when she,
whom we all lovingly called Aunt Jane
Grove, had passed to her heavenly homo
on last Sabbath, April 20, 1903, at 12:30
p. in.
Jane Bennett Cumin ings, daughter of
Goorge and Elizabeth Coulter dimming,
was born at the old homestead on French
creek near Franklin, June 10, 1831.
Coming of good Scotch-Irish ancestry,
she inherited to a marked degree all those
excellent traits of heart and character
which distinguish that race of people.
Surrounded by all that has a tendency to
develop and enrich a beautiful life, she
grew to womanhood well fitted to become
a leading spirit among those of her own
aud succeeding generations. Converted
at an early age, she became a member of
the Nicklin Methodist Episcopal church
In 184i),and for more than half a century,
Bhe was one of God's noble women, meet
ing life's responsibilities with every
measure of energy God had given her,
faithful in that which is least and iu
that which is much. Unselfishness pre
eminently characterized her Hie, and she
gave herself to others with a devotion
that was wholly Christ-like.
In January, 1864, sho became the wife
of the late Joseph Grove, then a resident
of Franklin, Pa. With her marriage, Mrs.
Grove assumed the care and took upon
her tbe responsibility as mother of
five small children. In these places this
noblewoman most worthily fulfilled the
duties which devolved upon her, and un
selfishly rendered to those near and dear
to ber tbe best years of her life's work.
But this beautiful devotion was heartily
appreciated by husband and children
and her loving kinduess has been hand
somely reciprocated by tbe members of
ber household, and all that could be, was
done to make her life happy and joyous.
In 1871, Mrs. Grove became a resident
of Tionesta where the esteem of friends
has Increased with years. TIkto was a
peculiar warmth in her greeting, and her
kindly, Christian spirit drew her ac
quaintances to her, while her integrity iu
her Christian faith won their confidence.
She excelled in the graces of the Spirit
and with all who eveu knew her, there is
the aroma of a goodly life which will ever
make it pleasant to think of her.
Mrs. Grove was one of eight children,
but two of whom are still living a broth
er, John Cuinmings, and sister, Mrs.
Elizabeth Runninger, both of Salem, Pa.
She is also survived by live step chil
dren, all of whom loved her as an own
mother, viz; W. Albert, Wilbur W., J.
Park and Linnie, wile of A. M. Doutt,
with whom she made her home, all of
Tionesta, and Anna, wife of John A.
Hart, of Oil City.
Funeral services were conducted at her
late residence on Tuesday afternoon at
2:30 by ber pastor, Rev. O. II . Nickle, as
sisted by a lormer pastor, Rev. F. M.
Small, aud the body was laid to rest In
the beautiful Riverside cemetery to
await tbe resurrection morn.
RIIODKS.
Rev. Henry Rhodes died at his homo
in Tionesta, April 28, iWi, at 9 o'clock
a. m.
Another comrade has fallen by the way
side. The last hard battle has been fought,
the weary march is over aud the banner
of victory waves iu triumph o'er a well
spent life. Another name added to the
roll call of the dead, while the ranks of
the Grand Army of tho Republic have
grown less. The voice that long respond
ed iu its rich German accent, as chaplain,
is no longer heard, but Father Rhodes
still lives iu memory as one of the boys
in blue.
Henry Rhodes was a son of Daniel and
R' becca Dovenspike Rhodes and was
born in Greenville, Clarion county, Feb.
28, 1821. He had a rich inheritance in
the sturdy qualities of his German and
Scotch ancestry, which gave him a thirst
tor knowledge and the determination to
seek for it lu the schools and home study.
His boyhood days were spent on his
lather's farm in Limestono township,
near Greenville, I'a., but when 17, his
father moved into a forest district of Jef
ferson county and cleared a farm in Knox
township. On June 7, 18 11, he was mar
ried to Miss Mary Ann Gilhousen, a
sweet aud loving woman, aud this union,
GROVE.
1903.
which proved a happy one, was blessed
with nine children, soven of whom are
still living : Lorenzo B., Rodney, Iowa;
Mrs. W. G. Rogers, Tylersburg; J. D.,
Jefferson, Ohio; Dessie L., Pittsburg;
Mrs. Ellen Van Camp, D. C, and M. L.,
of Tiouesta.
At the breaking out of the Civil War he
enlisted for three yoars.and in December,
1803, he re-enlisted for a like period or
"during the war." He served iu Co. D
of the lOoth Reg. P. V., which did such
valiaut service in the Army of the Poto
mac. He ranked as Corporal and was iu
20 battles. The account of his narfow es
capes was thrilling, and he was a prison
er four months in Salisbury.
At the close of the war he became a
circuit preacher in the Evangelical Asso
ciation, and continued to do such work
till 1878, when he received regular ap
pointments as a pastor by the conference.
In 1895 his health failed and he retired
from active service. For many years
Mr. Rhodes was a constant sufferer but
be bore his aftlictions with the fortitude
of a born Christion soldier, and of bim
it can truly be said, "lie fought a good
fight, he finished his course, ho kept
the faith."
The funeral services will be hold in the
M. E. church to-morrow, Thursday, after
noon at 1 o'clock, Rev. O. II. Nickle of
ficiating. The interment in Riverside
cemetery will be conducted by Capt. Geo.
Stow Post, and tbe Commander, 8. C.
Johnston, desires that there be a full at
tendance of the members.

Letter to J. T. Dale.
Tionesta, Pa.
Dear Sir; Here's what "wears longer"
moans.
D. T. McGowan, Cooperstown, N. Y.,
built a house in '85 and painted Devoo.
The paint lasted ten years.
A year or two later a neighbor built a
houso and painted it lead and oil. Tbe
neighbor's house was repainted twice iu
the same time.
This looks as if the neighbor's house
was painted threo times in eight or nine
years, and McGowan's once in ton years.
We are not quite sure wo tell tho tale as
it comes to us.
It is enough to say that Devoe Lead and
Zinc lasts twice as long as let.d and oil
alone. The reason is: white lead is soft
and chalks oil ; zinc is hard ; and, when
thoroughly ground in'o the lead, pre
vents its chalking and makes it more
durable.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
15 New York.
P. S. Jai D. Davis sells our paint.

Quality
While others talk price, we talk quality and price. Our po
sition is this: A man may forget what he paid for his clothes, but
never how they look, filled and wore.
Our c'olhiug is the safe middle ground. It saves a man paying
made to-order prices, and the ui happiucss of wearing ordinary ready
mude. It is the cheapest clothing (o buy, because it will outlast any
other at the same price suit or overcoat and looks well all tbo
time it i3 being worn.
To put it in a nutshell, when you buy our clothing, you get a
quality of fabric and workmanship, an individuality of style and an
exactness of fit, with which only the handiwork of the best merchaut
tailors is comparable and all at the ready-made price.
Don't forget that in addition to selling you dependable
clothing at fair prices, we press and keep iu repair free of charge.
