She was the daughter of Simon M. and

married to Mr. Sibley forty years ago
last March. Their married life has been
a happy, devoted one; a congenial couple
with tastes alike, and tbe severing of so
sweet a companionship leaves theatrlckeu

There Is a good tip for other com
munities In this item taken from the
Mercer Dispatch: The Mercer County
Automobile Association, at Its last meet
ing, decided that the best plan to be fol
lowed by tbe members of the organiza
tion, In its effort to seoure bettor roads in
the county, was to co-operate with the
road supervisors in the various town
ships. It will purchase three split-log
road drags, one to be kept at Greenville,
one at Mercer and the other at Sharon, to
be used on roads in these vicinities to
demoustrato to the supervisors the value
of this simple device iu road making.
The fourth annual reunion of North
western Penn'a Association of veterans of
all Wars, will be held at DuBois, Pa.,
Wednesday, Aug. (Kb, 1111. The com

banner reunion of this Bectlon, and hope
all their old comrades will attend and take
their families with them. Able speakers
will be present to entertain tbe veterans.
The business meeting of tbe Association
will be held at tbe driving park at 1:30 p.
m., aud the Camp Fire at the Avenue
theatre at 7:30 p. m. J. P. Logan is
president, W. W. Perry, secretary and A.
C, Stear, local secretary, of tbe associa
tion. It was an exciting light while it
lasted, but there is one less rattlesnake
living today as a result of the struggle.
When Leslie and Archie Black, young
sters, who live near Grundervllle, tin
isbed the oareer of this reptile Wednes
day, they sank upon tbe ground nigh ex
hausted. While in the woods near the
sulphur springs, the two brothers came
upon what la known as the black snapper
specie of the rattlesnake and the reptile
opened hostilities at once. Arming
themselves wl'.u olubs the boys gave
light. Tbey had a job winning the battle,
but did so finally. The snake measured
four feet aud aix inches In length War
ren Times.
State Highway Commissioner E. M
Blgelow has directed the assistant engl-
neera of bis department to furnish blm,
without delay, a list of tbe placea where
sign-posts are nneded In their districts
and also with completed data regarding
tbe condition of suoli posts as are In ex
istence. Tbe Commissioner baa secured
prices on metal sign-posts and as soon aa
be finds out how many are needed will
let contracts for furnishing the state with
tbe hundreds needed. He takes tbe posi
tion that sign-posts are needed as much
as good roads and that tbe present con
ditlons of tbe direction boards, or rather
their absence, Is discreditable and must
be taken up at once.
W. A. Wynn, division engineer of
the State Highway Department, an
nounces tbe begiuning of surveys on
August 1st, under the "Sproul Highway
law," Tbe first route taken up In this
district is No. 115 from Warren to Smetb
port, via Sheffield, Ludlow, Kane, Mt.
Jewett, Hazelburst and Kasson. The
starting point is the Warren county court
bouse. The law calls for surveys of all
tbe 290 routes to be made at once, and It
Is then tbe plan to take up tbe aotual
construction ol these roads aa rapidly as
funds are provided. It Is quite likely
that another corps will be started In this
district In tbe near future, in order to
have tbe surveys and plans completed by
June 1st, 1!)2.
Last year was one of the most suc
cessful years In the history of the Lock
Haven State Normal School. It Is grati
fying to note tbat this school is fully
abreast of tbe times in buildings, equip
ment, and faculty. Its teachers are
specialists wbo have had wide experience.
It is chiefly a Normal School but it main
tains Art, Music, Elocution, Business
and College preparatory Departments.
It will provide during tbe year an ade
quate In Domestic Science and Agricul
ture, Students wbo are looking for a
good school In order to fit themselves
either for teaching or for life will make
no mistake in attending tbia splendid in
stitution of learning. Write for Its hand
some catalogue. It
Some funny fellow sent tbe following
Item to the Erie Dispatch, with a Tio
nesta date. Tbe Item has since been
copied by a number of other papers and
runa like this: "Flaubert Marcy, a
farmer living near here, la raising flies
for their eggs, which he expects to sell as
a food luxury. He is serving them on
his own table and finds tbem palatable
and nutritious through Ihe Oil and al
bumen wbiob they contain, Tbe eggs
resemble rice after tbe hulls have been
temoved by friction. Mr. Marcy is
swarming tbe flies into large coops aud
tbe eggs are dropped Into a tank of
water." Tbe story is given no credence
here, and It ia thought baa Its origin in
tbe pate of one of the eggs tbat dropped
into tbe tank.
Again this country ia in tbe midst of
a serious drought, no raiu of consequence
having fallen for many daya. Corn,
which Just now needs extra moisture
while tbe ears are forming, Is not filling
out as it should, while potatoe vines in
many placea are showing a tendency to
die aud the tubers hsve stopped growing
In their dusty beda. Tbe buckwheat crop
ill be a Bhort one unless rain comes
soon. Pasture lands are badly seared
which la telling on the milk and butter
supply. Tbe blackberry crop would be a
good one if we could have a soaking
shower occasionally, but without rain tbe
berries will remain at a standstill. Tbe
predictions are for rain and cooler weath
er but In dry weather all signs go sglim
mering usually.
Burgess Reck is determined that if
auto drivers will not observe tbe speed
limits then be will inaugurate a safe and
sane driving crusade, at least so far aa
tbe borough la concerned, which covers
bis Jurisdiction. Several partiea have
been called to account for reckless and
speedy driving, and some who have come
directly under bis observation have been
advised to step up to tbe captain'a desk
and settle. The cit zens will heartily en
dorse this action on the part of tbe bur
gess, In Ihe hope that auto scorching on
the borough streets may be stopped be
fore some dire calamity results, Tbe
safety of the people ia of greater import
ance than the making of speed records,
and Ihe sooner tbe reckless drivers are
made to understand this the better for all
ooncerned.
It behooves berry pickers or sny who
go Into the woods to keep a sharp look
out for rattlesnakes, as they seem to be
very numerous Just now. Floyd Stint
inger killed tbe grsnddady of all of them
last Wednesday on tbe George Hilseman
farm, German Hill, when be got a yellow
one measuring five feet 7) inches, which
carried 14 rattles and a button. He found
the snake near the barn. Two were
killed tbe week before near tbe same
place. They were a pair, black and yel
low, and each had nine rattles aud a
button. On Thursday Mrs. Cbas. Harger
killed a four-foot black one in tbe public
road near her home ou Hunter run,
which bad twelve rattles aud a button.
Tbe week previous Fred Davis killed a
yellow one about tbe same size and near
tbe same spot. Harry Osgood, who is
working in tbe woods at the Campbell
mill, on Peters run, killed a big yellow
one Saturday. It bad ten rattles and a
button,
It has been determined by the County
Commissioners and the heads of the
political parties to nominate township
and borough officials In tbe usual way in
Forest county this year, that Is by party
caucuses. In this way there will be no
mixing or confusion with county nomi
nations, and tbe several parties can place
tickets for township officials in the field
without coming in contact with each
other or interfering In any way with the
regular primaries on the 30th of Septem
ber. The county commissioners will
furnish the several townships with the
necessary blanks on which to certify
their nominations, which will be in
dependent of tbe September primaries,
and the committeemen of the several
parties In tbe townships should provide
themselves with these blanks, and issue
tbe calls for caucuses as bas beeu custo
mary heretofore for the Spring or Febru
ary elections. County Committeemen
should govern themselves accordingly.

Valuable Land Never Patented.
A peculiar condition is said to have
been discovered regarding tbe recent
transfer of tbe estate of the late K. E.
Clapp to tbe Billlkln Oil Company. This
company ia composed of Jamestown N.
Y., men, among whom is Jas. Forbusb,
formerly of this city, say a tbe Oil City
Derrick, In its purchase the company
took over about 2,000 acres of land tbat is
heavily timbered. The Investorsdecided
to get rid of tbe timber and in looking up
tbe old deeda it baa been discovered tbat
tbe title on about 1,100 acres Is obscured;
that although a patent for the land was
made out it seems tbat tbe papers were
never signed. Tbe late K. . Clapp, or
the person from who be acquired the
land, it la said, purchased it at lax sale.
The effort of attorneys to discover per
sons wbo are in a posltson to show tbat
Mr. Clapp held undisputed possession of
tbe property for tbe twenty-one yeara
preceding bis death brought forth tbe
facta of tbe defect in title to light. They
have located an old resident of Forest
county, In which most of the timber tract
is located, wbo is willing to swear to tbe
Clapp possession, and a similarly valu
able witness bas been located In D. P.
Kable, tbe well-known oil operator cf
Linevllle, this county.
It Is believed tbat it will be a mere
matter of form to secure a good title
through tbelr evidtnee, and when affi
davits have been secured the attorneys
will go to Harrlsburg and make applica
tion to 1iave tbe origiual patent com
pleted. The fact that during his lifetime
Mr. Clapp refused to sell any of bis im
mense holdings of land Is r OBsibly respon
sible for tbe ta'dy discovery of tbe condi
tion of tbe title of Ibis large tract, from
which none of tbe timber tbat has covered
it since this section was a wilderness, has
been cut.-Franklin News.
SALE OK TIMI1KR CONSUMMATED.
Negotiations which bave been going on
for some time were yesterday consum
mated by which tbe fine body of timber
on tbe above mentioned tract becomes
tbe properly of John Coleman of Will-
iamsport and Geo. F. and Harry II.
Wataon ol Tionesta. The deal waa closed
and all papers passed, the consideration
being close to tbe 1140,000 mark. Tbe
purchase consists of tracts 2822 and 2827,
comprising 2,140 seres and lying wholly
within Forest county. The timber on
these tracts consists principally of virgin
pine, upon which tbe woodsman's ax has
never been laid, although there ia also
much hemlock and hardwood. It ia in
faot the only pine timber tract left in this
section tbat bas op to this time been un
touched. The new owners are as yet un
decided aa to whether they shall place a
mill on the tract, or haul tbe timber to a
location near a railroad and manufacture
it there. This point will be decided
upon, however, in a few days, snd active
operations will be commenced forthwith.
In the deal tbe Billlkln Oil Co., above
referred to, retains the land and minerals,
which includes oil and gas rights.
