Ted Joyce, who is employed with
ills father in the building of tbe stone
work ol the new railroad bridge at Ne
braska, met with an accident which Is
likely to lay him off for several weeks.
A stone weighing fully two tons fell on
bis right foot last Friday, crushing It
badly. Tho soft clay ou which Ted was
standing alone saved him much worse
Injury. Dr. Siggins performed the nec
essary surgery and made JMiwara as
comfortable as possible under the cir
cumstances. Other communities bave the same
trouble. Here's what the Warren Mirror
says of them: A person not In a position
to know would be suprlsed to learn the
amount of money that goes out of Warren
monthly to the various associations whose
plan It Is to pay two for one on all monies
paid in, There are at least a half dozen
such companies doing business here who
have active represenatives and for tbe
past two or three years all bave been con
ducting an active and auccesslul cotn-
palgn for new memberships. Many
thousands of dollars Is sent to tbe bead
quarters of these concerns annually from
Warren and vicinity.
No story illustrates tbe curious mix
ture of associated Ideas better than tbe
following: I asked a small boy one day
after a long and labored Scripture lesson,
"What did Peter do to prove that be was
pontientT" Up rose a dozen bands, and I
selected one. "Please, teacher," came
breathlessly, "he crowed three times!"
Another time I was explaining about tbe
gathering of the manna In the wilderness
and bow tbe Isrealites bad to collect a
double quanity on the Saturday so as to
last over Sunday. "But if," I pointed
out, "they gathered enough for two days
on the Monday, the heavenly food would
be unfit to eat on the Tuesday." A little
girl of five was deeply interested, and
anxiously asked. "But teaoher, s'pos'n
that Tonsday was Waahin'ton's burlday?"

Tbe Pennsylvania State Sabbath
School Association, with headquarters in
tbe city of Philadelphia, Is one of the
greatest, if not tbe greatest organization
of Christian workers in the State. Its
annual conventions bring together a
larger number of delegates than any
other religious organization. With aux
iliary associations in all of tbe sixty-seven
counties and these subdivided into dis
trict associations, it has a system of or
ganization that carries its benefits to every
local school no matter where It Is located.
This vast organization will bold its Forty
third Annual Convsntion in the city of
Uniontown, Fayette county, October 9,
10 and 11, 1907. The Forest County As
sociation is entitled to 10 delegates. Cre

Old time employes declare that there
was never a year in tue btstory oi tne w,
N. P. A P. or Its successor the P. R. R.,
when the freight business between hero
and Olean ever approached Ha present
magnitude at this time of the year. There
are 17 trains running each way daily be
tween here and Olean, each carrying about
25,000 tons, most of It coal and coke for
Buffalo aud Canadian points. This has
been goiug on for weeks, and there seems
to be no indication of any decrease In the
business. On tbe coutrary, Superlnten
tendent Beale and his able assistants are
planning for even more traffic as tbe win
ter approaches, and will be ready for It.
One of tbe preparations is the resumption
of the coal dock service at Hemlock, near
Warren. The docks are large enough to
permit two engines to be coaled at one
time and necessary for tbe smaller en
glues whose tenders will not carry enough
coal to last them between Oil City and
Olean. There are 21 crews of five men
each on this one run alone,, all of which
tends to indicate that it Is good for a com
munity to bave "In its midst" as import

Isaac McCoy, of the firm of Potter A
MoCoy, liverymen of this place, was
made tbe victim of a most vicious assault
last Thursday evening as he was driving
a two-seated rig home from Oil City. He
reached Rouseville about four o'clock
aud bad stopped to take Daniel Donovau
in with him, when he was accosted by a
stranger, who called blra "Fred" and
asked bow much he would charge to take
his wife and himself to Pluiner, which
was on the way to Tionesta. Being told
the price the stranger said he wouldn't
pay it, whereupon MoCoy and Donovan
started on their way. When some miles
out on the road they stopped to drink
from a spring. At this juncture a rig
with two men in tbe buggy drove up, one
of them being tbe stranger mentioned.
Without warniug the stranger, a heavy,
muscular mau, attacked Mr. McCoy,
whom he tried to drag out of the vohicle,
aud failing, began a brutal assault upon
him, and but for tbe interference of Don
ovan would have pounded Mr. McCoy,
who Is a man of slight build, well nigh to
death. It is evident the would-be slayer
was mistaken in his victim, but that did
not make Mr. McCoy's learful pummel
ing any the loss serious, anil it is proba'
ble ho will yet be called to accouut In the
quarter sessions court for his dastardly
assault. Mr. McCoy knows the name of
his assailant, who is a railroad employe,
residing either in Oil City or Reno, and
he is in possession of abundant evidence
to convict the follow of his crime and
which would in all probability land bim
in tbe pen.

Our ball ground was the scene of two
great ball games Saturday, Sept. 28th.
Tbe game In the forenoon was played by
tbe Kellettville High School team vs. tbe

exciting from start to finish. The pretty
girls sitting cn the grand stand rather
went back on tbe business men and took
sides with tbe high school team; this or
course would "rattle" most any lot or
men, and certainly did some or the busi
ness men to hear a lot or pretty girls
cheering against them. Tbe game was
finally won by the bigb school team, the
score being 12 to 7. Tbe second game
was played by the Kellettville High
School and the Endeavor High School
teams. This was rather a one-sided
game, the score beibg 29 to 3 in favor of
Kellettville. We bave a team we are
proud of, considering the time It has
been organized, aud if tbe boys continue
to play by another season we think we
will have a ball team equal to any in the
county.
Death of Hou. Joseph A. Xasli.
Hon. Joseph A. Nash died at bis borne
at Pigeon, Howe township, Forest county,
Pa., Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 24, 1907,
after an Illness extending over a period
of more tban a year, when be suffered a
slight paralytio stroke, from which be
only partially recovered. Judge Nash
was born in Concord township, Erie
county, about 71 years ago. His father
was one of tbe successful and well-to-do
farmers of bis day, and tbe subject or this
sketch was reared to young manhood at
the old homestead Inheriting much or the
parental thrift and energy which ele
ments in after years be put to good use.
Upon attaining his majority be engaged
in lumbering in which industry he was
quite successful, and from that be took
up tbe produce business, in which he
again displayed his apt business qualifi
cations. This industry brought him in
close touch with the oil development of
the early days and be was caught by the
allurement of this fickle attraction and
much or his worldly gain was swallowed
up in the uncertainties of that business.
About 25 yaara ago he came to Forest
county, settling in Howe township,
where he engaged quite extensively in
the manufacture of hemlock shingles, one
of the thriving Industries of those days.
He remained to see vast forests converted
into lumber of various kinds, and the
country denuded or its virgin growth
wben prices were at a low ebb, enriching
a few but affording little benefit to the
average man.
Mr. Nash's capabilities were early rec
ognized when he enme to Forest couuty
and his neighbors elected him to about
all the offices of trust In his township,
and when, In 1891, be announced himself
as a candidate for Associate Judge, be
was an easy winner, and in tbe five years
be occupied a seat on tbe bench ho acquit
ted himself with honor to himself and bis
county. Upon retiring from the bench
be was appointed postmaster of his town,
a positiou he acceptably filled until
failing health compelled him to relin
quish it.
Judge Nash was a very likable man,
even tempered, jovial and true to bis
friends, aud his demise is greatly regret
ted by the many friends be bad gained
through long aud intimate association.
He is survived by bis widow, who, in
her madenhood, was Miss Sarah Lowis,
and by oue son by his first marriage,
Frank Nash, now a resident of Kellett
ville. Tbe funeral was held on Thursday
last, and bis body was laid to rest in the
cemetery near where his boyhood years
were spent, in Concord township, Erie
county.

A mild winter, says John Petormau,
Butler's hornet nest prophet. The hor
nets nre building high in the air. The
prophet declares hornets In some way get
an inkling of the brand or weather to be
dealt out in tbe winter. If the signs are
for severe cold they build on the ground,
where the snow drifts over them to pro
tect the larvae from the cold. If they
selects place high for their nest, they
prophesy a warm, open winter. The
corn busks, too, tell of a mild winter,
says the hornet nest prognosticator. The
busks are thin and few.

Letter to C. A. Randall,
Tionesta, i'u.
Okar Sir: Here's a tale with a point
to it. Florida is the hardest state in the
I'niou for paint.
Gilmore fe Davis Co., Tallahassee,
Florida, think thoy know what paint can
do in their climate; tlioy've boon paint
ing for 35 years, Devoe ten years; and
they say Devoe wears 10 years their
words are: "Buildings we paiuted De
voe 10 years ago are in good condition of
paint today."
They also say lead-and-oil wears ouly
one year there; Devoe 10 years'.
Ten years is a long lifetime for paint in
Florida; longer than 20 in Maine. We
don't dare say either is true as a general
fact iu those States; but there are such
Instances.
If we should call the cost of Devoe In
Florida lull fof the usual cost of paint, it
would, ho too much; we suppose It's
about oue-third; there is so much trash
there the costliest paint is the worst,
and the worst is the costliost everywhere.
Yours truly,
F. W. Dkvok A Co.,
