Kellettville. About a year ago he went
to work ou the mill at Kellettville, and
was making his home with W. J. Detar
at tbe Klngsley House. Besides his
father and stepmother, he la survived by
several brothers and sisters.
New Postmaster for Tionesta.
Tbe contest for tbe position of post
master at Tionesta which bas been quietly
going on for almost a year past, was
terminated week before last, wben Presi
dent Wilson sent the nomination of G. G.
Gaston to tbe Senate, j list before tbat
body adjourned for tbe holiday recess.
Wben tbe Senate re-convenes, on the 12th
of this month, tbe confirmation of Mr.
Gaston, along with over two hundred
others nominated throughout the coun
try, will be immediately taken up and
doubtless promptly approved. Just
when tbe new appointee will take pos
session depends upon tbe promptness
with which bis commission reaches bim,
possibly by tbe first of tbe coming month.
A Great Snow Storm.
Tbe heaviest snowfall known to the
oldest inhabitant in tbe shortest period
of time was experienced in this section
Saturday night, when, between the hours
of 9 o'clock iu the evening and 7 o'clock
Sunday morning, barely 10 hours, there
fell fully 14 Inches on the level. Added
to this fully 6 inches more feU up to 9
o'clock Sunday nlitht, making In all
about 20 Inches ia 24 hours. Tbe Btorm
really began Saturday morning, when 7
inches of snow fell between 6 and 12
o'clock, tbere being a lull In the storm
between noon and nigbt. These are
figures tbat have no equal so far as any
one now living can recall. Taken with
what fell on Christmas night (6 Inches)
and during the holiday week, no one puts
tbe snowlall at less than 30 inches, and
in many places wbere warmth has not
affected It the mantle of snow is still
about that depth. In tact, Just now we
have tbe heaviest snow since the mem
orable winter of 1010, four years ago, but
In that year the storm was almost con
tinuous for a period of two months.
What damage has been done to stand
ing timber in the big woods can not yet
he ascertained, but doubtless it will be
heavy. In the horotigb several shade
trees were damaged, one in particular, a
pretty pine, on the lawn of G. W. Robin
aon, bad several large branches broken
off, marring Its beauty greatly. Several
trees on the Prestiyterlan parsonage lot
were damaged, but not completely
ruined. Tbe porch in front of the bor
ough building was pulled away from its
moorings and came down with a crash
early Sunday morning, and a canvas
awning in front or Klllmer Bros,' Htore
let go and slammed down over the plate
glass front, but grange to say neither of
the large windows was damaged in tbe
least. A canvas awning In front of the
Citizens National Hank was torn down
and a small porch In front of .1. F. Pro
per's building, next to the fruit store,
also broke down, Rnola of other build
ings were put to severe tests, but all
withstood the strain and weathered the
storm quite well. Both the Bell and
Forest County telephones had many
wires down Sunday morning.
All the town seemed to have turned
snow-shovelers Sunday morning, and
doubtless jnany made It their excuse for
non-attendance at church services, figur
ing, no doubt, tbat they were doing a
g-eater service for the Lord in this way
than by going to church and allowing
their neighbors to llnuuder arotiud In
two to three feet of snow. And perhaps
they were right.

End-Season Cleen-Up
Opened Friday Morning, Jan. 2d, 1914.
Summer weather in supposedly winter months is not helpful to the sale of Over
coats aud Heavy Weight Clothes for mankind, and for this reason our clothing
stock is very much larger than it should be at this time of the year. And as we do
not believe clothing will be higher priced next season, we would feel much more
comfortable with smaller stocks. All these facts combine to make us lower prices
in a very decided manner. This is the price schedule for heavy weight clothes for
man or boy:
