Paul Schillinger, the new pastor whom the cnnuregatlon has recently called to the pastorate of that church, will preach Ms initial sermon on this occasion. An invitation Is extended to everyone to bo present. It's amusing but true. Let a wide awake, hustling merchant, who knows that advertising pays, put a list of low prices in the papor, and bis competitors, . who do not believe in advertising, will tumble over themselves to post a lot of old box cover In the windows ol their . stores on which are daubed signs olVerlng iroods at the same price. A merchant who declares it doesn't pay to advertise, Is not only a back number but his acts belie his statements, every day he at tempts to do business. Fx.

Snyder, of Trunkeyvillo, had the bone of his right leg brokeu below the knee last Thursday, by having a rail road tie fall on It. Dr. Dunn rendered the necessary surgical relief, and al though Mr. Snyder is somewhat along in years, being a veteran of the civil war, the doctor believe he will get along with out uiuc'j dilllculty. The raiu last Saturday came none too soon for the good of matters and things In this neck o' woods, for fires seemed to be breaking out pretty much all about us. No great damage has thus far been done and if the weather man will kindly send us a little shower about every third or fourth day for the next couple of weeks he will oblige no end of poople living in these parts.

Marienvllle Express. W. A. Grove and others tapped tho sand in a well on the Frazee tract, Hick ory twp., Monday, and found so much gas that It was deemed advisable to movo the boiler before going farther. It is ex pected to finish up today. What Is sup posed to be the best well yet struck on the Reck, Cooper A Co. lease, Cropp hill, was shot last week. It has not been tubed yet, but it is believed the woll will start at 60 barrels at leat. Tuesday, June 14, is the 127th anni- voisary of the adoption ol the Stars and Stripes as the flag of the United States, and will be observed throughout the na tion as Flag Day. Tho American Flag Association, In accordance with its annu al custom, has Issued a circular asking that the observance be made general and Is making a special effort to interest the poople throughout the country to the ex tent of a general display of the American flag on that day. Attoney General Carson has made an important ruling concerning the rebuild ing of bridges by the State, to determine whether bridges belonging to the State or to the counties upon whote petition they weie erected. The Attorney General says that tho question wa raised once be fore, and it is decided that, aa the bridge destroyod was the property of the county through tho douation of the State, all the material resulting from the wreck belonged to the couuty. It was also held that, although the State built these bridges they became the property ol the county, and must be kept in repair by the coun ty. Iietore (be old soldiers can receive the benefits of the recent order making age a disability they will have to prove their age. Commissioner of Pensions Ware will not accept the muster roll of the ar my and navy as proof of a man's age. 1 he reason for this is very apparent, as young men who enlisted during the Civil War were apt to overstate their ages. Boys of Id and 18 often represented that they were 21. These muster rolls would be erroneous and would give the veterans today the bonoflt of four or five years. Exchange. Well, suppose the "old boys" did get the benefit of a year or two in this way, who would begrudge it to them? Jacob E. Fisher, a former well-known citizeu of Clarion county, and who served a term as treasurer of that county, died at his home in New Kensington, Allegheny county, on the 8th inst., quite unexpect edly. Mr. Fisher kept a restaurant at that place and it was at first thought that death was the result of a blow from a cane in the Bands of an obstreperous man whom he had ejected from bis restaurant the evening before, but a post-mortem examination revealed the fact that he bad died a natural death. The deceased had quite an extensive acquaintanceship in this section, having for many years rep resented a Pittsburg grocery bouse whose business brought him fn queutly In com munication with ti e merchants of this county. In America any young man of good intellect can come to an (state. All he requires is industry, perseyerenco and the sense to avail himself of the opportu nities that come into tho lives of all. If the money that is ordinarily spent fool ishly, if not viciously, be saved, and the time that is squandered in ways that weaken and deprave, be devoted to right uses, success Is certain. And,-too, the path to usefulness and success is much smoother than the road to woi thlessness. To read good literature, to abstain from excesses and be rewarded by the splen did exhiloration of good health, to bo looked upon as a wholesonie'person mor ally and physically, and to be your own master, are certainly not in tho class of acts that could be enumerated under the head of personal sacrifices. Tho best way is always tho easiest. So philosophizes our distinguished friend, Congressman Smith, of the Punxsutwoey Spirit. The idea that the forests of north western Pennsylysnia have beon sn de pleted that no extensive tracts remain Is st.mewbal shaken by a dispatch telling of a contract in Potter county where 10,000 cords of hemlock bark will be peeled an nually for eight years. This will guar antee from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 feot of lumber per year, or sufficient to bx the capacity of a large band mill. The tract is owned by the Central Pennsylvania Lumber Company. This same company has large tracts of timber in Warren, For est and Elk counties, and the mill of the company at Loleta has a capacity of fully 30,000,000 per year, aud is kept in opera tion the year round. In addition to the holdings of this company we call atten tion to the cut of the mills of the Salmon Creek Lumber Co., iu Forest county, which is from forty to forty-live millions per yer, wbh timber enough to run them for many years. The holdings of the Watson Lands Lumber Co,, at Mayburg, Collins Darrah & Co., at Nebraska, L.8. ('lough A Co., at McCrsys, tho Ilassinger Lumber Co., at Lamona, must also be considered in liKuringon the lumber in-' dustry of this section. Sheffield Gb serve.

A New Wilmington, Lawrence county, paper of last week, contained the follow ing regarding a former well known and esteemed citizen of Nebraska, this coun ty. It is hoped the publication will re sult In the discovery of some clue aa to the whereabouts of Mr. Weant, whose relativos are very greatly concerned about him: "Nicholas Weant, who with his son A. P. Weant, came to New Wilmington three years ago and purchased what is known as the Alcorn property, left his home at 3 o'clock on Saturday morning aud nothing has been heard of him since, and not the slightest clue lo his where abouts. His son, who has a position in the office of a lumber company in Forest couuty, their former borne, was notified by telegraph on Saturday of the disap pearance of his father and came on here Monday to institute a search. Nicholas Weant is an old soldier, having served during the Civil War in Co. G, 83d Pa. Vol., and is a member of the Geo. Stow Post, No. 274, G. A. R., Tionesta, Pa. He is about 61 years of age, height 6 ft. 8 in. and woighs 180 pounds. His hair is gray and ho has a short heavy grey mustache. Whon be left home be wore an army blue coat and light gray cap. A part of the in dex finger of ids right band is mbsing. He was greatly discouraged over tbe backward weather and bis farming pros pects aud ex pi essed himself to several neighbors as ready to drop it all. He fullered neryous complications while in the army and has had a recurrence of these troubles at limes since. Some years ago he suffered severely from a carbuncle ou the back of his neck and bis son thinks that he has not been mentally as stroniz sjnee that time. He has talked of going away to hunt work, having followed lum bering all his life, with the expectation of sending for his wife when he got sdtled. His sou vvill remain in New Wilmington fur a few days and do what be can to find out the whereabouts of bis father. Any information that will lead to his location will be thankfully received by sending word to A. P. Weant, New Wilmington, Pa." Court Proceedings. Court met at the usual hour Monday afternoon, but there was an entire ab sence ol jurymen, and tbe session lasted only about two hours. The constables of the several townships were present and gave in their returns.

In the matter of the petition of citizens of Barnett twp., for the appointmeut of a supervisor lor that township, the court dismissed the petition, holding that in the county of Foresi, working under the Venango county road law, there is no such office as Roa I Supervisor, and that the Road Commissioners have power to fill vacancies existing in the Boaid.

The shooter from Clarendon put 100 quarts into well No. 78 Friday. New men with glycerine wagons come from time to time, but the early shooters, the men of the eighties and nineties, have about all passed in their accounts. In looking over the list I find only one or two alive ; they are mostly good men, but tbe slip comes suddenly, and some times all hands pass out. One Incident I especially remember: A shooter came to shoot one of tbe wells on the Hats. The old boss met him up along the road and saw that he was drunk, and ordered him back, saying the well was not ready for him. Other thrillins incidents I recall but w ill defer giving them at present. THE FOOLISH MAX ljitt.no l.tr nvnnrlaiiitA. Tim Averiifrn man learns by his own experience.

One of the most delightful conventions in the history of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of Clarion Presby tery, was held in the tbe Second Presby rian church, Oil City, Weduesday and Thursday of last week. It was beautiful ly arranged and conducted by the presi dent, Mrs. N. P. Wheeler of Endeavor, and wai ona of continued help and inter est from the first session to the last. Ke poitsfrom all parts of the Presbytery show an increasing interest in foreign missions. Many of the churches deserve special mention but those of prime inter est to our readers are the Tionesta and Endeavor congregations. The Tionesta Auxiliary averages well with its fine record of former years, and has given, during tbe past year, $78 besides the thank offering of S.8T. the S. C. E. re ports $18.60 aud a thank offering of 8.75, while the Jr. 8. C. E. has given $9.35 and a thank offering of $1.60, making a total or $125,05 for the cause of foreign mis sions. But in real practical study and methods of givimr, tbe Endeavor church promises fair to eclipse all other societies in the Presbytery, unless a wonderful re vival in missions has begun. In this congregation everybody Is doing some thing to earn money for missions, from pastry cooking to raising chickens, and besides, its members are being fed intel lectually and spiritually by their study of missions. Perhaps this helps to ac counts for their record as being the first church in the history of the Presbytery to assume tho support of a missionary, and from this year, Rev. F. W.Bible will be their missionary. A service of special uplift was tbe praise and thank offering serylce con J uc ted by Mrs. R. L. Buzard, of Clarion., a former president of Uie Presbyterial Society. A thank offering of over fMJ-the largest ever taken was consecrated with prayer by Mrs. A. B. Kelly of Tionesta. The greater portion of this offering will be given to purchase tbe outfit of tbe Mrs. F. W. Bible, to-be. One of the chief interests of tbe conven tion was the gifts for Miss Donaldson's Christmas box ; among the tokens of love lor the Presbyterial missionary was a handsome silk shirt waist suit, the gift ol the Endeavor and Tionesta churches; an other was a box cntaining a handker chief and letter from each member of Mrs. Wheeler's S. S. class to Miss L'onald- sou's class; aud still another was a box of Royal baking powder, sent by Mrs. Con way of Brookuille, a like gift, by tbe same donor, having been bo much appre ciated by Miss Donaldson last year. The report of the Seo. of Literature, Mrs. James of Limestone, caused the members ol tbe convention to feel they had been dronoa in the Lord's work when placed beside the deep consesration of this earn est worker. But those ol special inter est to the convention were tbe three moth ers in Israel Mrs. Eleanor Junktn Ma- leer of New Bethlehem, Mrs. Culbertson Orr of Limestone, and Mrs. James Con way of Broukville, vice-presidents still continued. Tbe advice of these excellent women, well beloved by their people, has been indispensible to (he development of the society, and it is with deepest regret that the younger members realize that tbe eventide of life is fast falling arouud tl.em. The missionaries present were Rev. F. G. Coan of of Persia, who gave a thrilling account of the perilous but needy work in that land ; Rev. Dr. J. A Eakin of Siam, who interested his bear ers with the splendid field and the excel lent opportunity lor service of tho Pres byterian church there; and Rev. F. W. Bible, who expects to go to China next fall, give a splendid address on Mis sions from the standpoint of a now re cruit. Miss Rachel Wheeler, alio acted as secretary protein, of Young People's Work during the past year, was given a vote of thanks for willing and el!lcient service by the ladies of tbe Presbytery. Mrs. Wheelerof Endeavor, whose work baa been much appreciated by the society, was unanimously re-elected president for the coming year; Mrs.S. A. Cornelius of Oil City was added to the list of vice presidents given; Mrs. F. R. Hindman of Clarion, elected treasurer of the gener al fund; Mrs. L. V. Scherer of Nickle- ville, treasurer of contingent fund; Mrs. Belle Richards, Oil City, See. Young People's Work, while Mrs. Elizabeth Reed sf Corsica, and M iss Nancy C.
