of 110 acres of cultivated laud with all

It will no doubt be gratifying to the
citizens of Forest oounty to learn that the
county is out of debt, the lastof the coun
ty bonds, $7,000, having been redeemed
by the Commissioners last week. There
were seven one-thousand-dollar bonds,
and the checks given in liquidation of the
debt were among the first large ones is
sued by the new Treasurer, Geo. Hole-
man. There are still about $21,000 iu
Poor bonds outstanding, a part of which
are payable next year, and the balauce In
1914. When that time comes the funds
will be available to liquidate this debt.
The board of Commissioners expects to
materially reduce the county tax levy this
year on account of this condition of
things, a step which will be appreciated
by the tax payers.
My friend, help the editor in his wild-
eyed search for news. When your
friends come to see you, If ycu are uot
ashamed of it, tell him; when your wife
gives a tea party, if you have recovered
from the effects of tbe gossip, drop in
with the news; when a baby arrives, fill
your pockets with cigars and call, If you
go to a party, steal some of the good
thing, and leave 'em with tbe item In our
sanctum, If your wife licks you, come
in and let us sen your scars, and tender
sympathy through the paper; if your
mother-in-law has died, don't be bashful
about it; give in all the common place
news. In short whatever makes you feel
proud, sad, lonesome or glad, submit It to
our twenty-four karat wisdom and see
our matted locks part and stand on end
with gratitude, which will pour from

Death of Charles 8. Leech.
Very many friends throughout this
section will receive with much sadness
the announcement of tbe death of this
most excellent citizen, Ou New Years
day he left bis home at Lexington, Ky.,
for a business trip to Fort Morgan, Colo
rado, where be bad thought of locating.
Having been somewhat Indisposed for
some time previous he was doubtless in
no condition physically to withstand so
long a journey, aud alter reaching tbe end
of bis trip was obliged to call in a physi
cian, who discovered symptoms of a
threatened attack of typhoid lever. Fear
ing such might be tbe case Mr. Leech
went on to Denver and eut- red St. An
thony's hospital, reaching there on tbe
7th of tbe mouth. On the ninth bis fam
ily was apprised by telegram that he was
very seriously ill. His wife and Bon
started immediately fur Deuver, aud
when tbey reached Kansas City, Mo.,
Jan. 11th, were shocked by a telegram
announcing bis death. What his real
ailment was is not known by bis friends
here at Ibis writing.
Cb'arles Sumner Leech, was the eldest
son of John and Sui-au M. (Kverbarl)
Leecb, and was born In Washington
township, Clarion County, Pa March 20,
1857. When the Bubject of this sketch
was but six years of age hie father died,
leaving tbe devoted young mother with
the care of five small children, the young
est a mere babe. Charles fast developed
into a steady, true-hearted, ambitious
young lad, and was early a student at
Carrier Seminary at Clarion, where, at
tbe age of 10 years he began tbe service of
an apprenticeship in a printing office.
His steady, manly habits, formed very
early In life, and the careful training of a
good mother, were never departed from,
and of his wages as an apprentice, not
large at best, he devoted most to the use
of bis mother and the family. After four
years spent at the printing trade he em
barked in n.ercantilo pursuits at Lick
Ingville for some time, and then eugaged
in the oil business as a contractor, and
for a time was located in York Slate. In
1881 be moved to Marienville, where for
fifteen years he was extensively engaged
in merchandising and lumbering, and be
came one of the most progressive citizens
of that fast growing and busy little city,
having, perhaps, as much if not more lo
do with the upbuilding aud progress of
tbe place than any othercitizen. He was
the first to build a large business block
and erect a pleasant borne (here, having
faith in the town and its luture. In all
that made for the moral progress and up
lift of its people be was first and foremost,
fearless In urging bis conception of right,
so that when auy movement for tho bet
terment of tbe community was proposed
be was generally selected as the leader.
As a member of the board of trustees of
the Presbyterian church of Marienville
for many years Mr. Leech faithfully (lis
charged bis duties and did very much to
extend the church's ii.lluence for good
toward all mankind. The Christian
church always found in him a worthy and
influential advocate aud supporter. No
enterprise that bad for its aim tbe itn
provement of the conditions of his com
munity, either morally or financially,
ever lacked bis earnest and energetic
support. It was he who organized and
carried through to successful completion
tbe county telephone system which we
now enjoy.
Disposing of his Interests in Marienville
in 1899 be Invested In a fruit plantation
in Porto Rico, where be lived for a short
time with his family, but returned soon
to take up lumbering again, locating at
Harrimau, Tenn., and after about four
years' residence there wenj. to Kentucky
and eugaged in coal mining pursuits,
Although quite successful in this under
taking the hazardous nature of the busi
ness was too great for bim, and he dis
posed of bis iuteresis to good sdvautago.
A business opening at Fort Morgan hav
ing tempted him to investigate its advan
tages be bad gone there, to be overtaken
with a fatal illness.
In all his various business dealings the
bouor and iutegrity of Charles Leech
were never for a moment questioned.
He was patient, kind and generous al
most to a fault. As a boy and young
man be wag gentle aud loving toward bis
mother, counseling her in all bis affairs,
and never in all Lis life crossing her will
in the least particular. In bis domestic
life be was tbe most devoted husband and
father, ready at all times to make any
sacrifice for the comfort and happiness of
bis wife and children, whose loss in bis
death is tremendous.
In 1877 Mr. Leecb was united lu mar
riage with Miss Kiltie B. Smiillen, of
Putneyville, Armstrong county, Pa. To
