Wild Game is Reported to be Very Plenti- ful This Season. The deer killing season in Pennsylva- nia opened on Thursday, and continues until and including November 30—fif- teen days. Only one deer may be killed during the season by each person and it is unlawful to use buckshot as a charge. Last year there were,approx- imately, 300 deer slain by hunters, and there were three hunters killed in the Reports from the woods of Clinton, seems more plentiful now than last year. There will be no fewer hunters this season than last, the probability being that the number will be increased, and therefore the danger of accidental shooting also increased. A game authority at Harrisburg de- clares that there are now more deer and bearin Pennsylvania than at any time in half a century, proceeding to prove his statement by explaining how the hundreds of thousands of acres of land in the central part of the state, having been cleared of large timbers, are now covered with scrub oaks, which is so thick in places that a man cannot This affords excellent protection thrown around deer and the restrictions imposed upon PRiibin, Erie, and McDonald, Punx- ntawney; Pitchers, Welsh, Erie, and forwin, Bradford, left handers; Mec- | own, Punxsatawney, and Clarkson, ean, righthanders; first base, Camp- | I, Punxsutawney; second, Savage, | City; short, Cranson, Oil City;third, | gon, Patton; left field, Jobuson, | prd ; middle, Barley, Punx- | Mtawhey; right, Sarvatius, Oil City. | fixtral outfielder, Snowden, Dubois. | There 4re some very good men se-| eted in this list.

Patton Industrial Co-Operative Association Will be Dissolved. It is not at all unlikely that the - Pat- ton Industrial Co-Operative Associa- tion will be dissolved in the near fu- ture. The association has been doing business here since 1902 and is incorpo- rated under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania. The law relative to co-operative as-| sociations provides in a case of this kind that the stockholders fill out a ballot answering ‘‘yes” or “no”? whether they are in favor of the wind- ing up and dissolution of the associa- tion and whether they approve of the plan recommended by the directors for these purposes. The plan proposed by the directors of the Patton association is to sell the stock and fixtures in the store at the best available prices and to dispose of the real estate if possible, but in the | event of a buyer not being available to rent it until such time as it can be sold to advantage,the money derived there- from to be used in the payment of all outstanding bills and stockholders’ Potter, Tioga, Sullivan and Lycoming | {counties are to the effect that deer | | NEW GRADE ESTABLISHED, Meeting of Counell, A special meeting of the Patton borough council was held Monday evening with President Lingle and Councilmen Anstatt, Prindible, Emigh and Bailey in attendance.

Addresses were made also by the clergymen of Blossburg, When Mr. Wilson arose to speak he was so affected that it required some time until he had become composed, when he opened his address by declar- ing that he valued more the respect and tribute paid him by his neighbors in that ovation than the election to any | office in the gift of the people. The peopleof Arnot held a public meeting Friday and drew up and sent the following telegram to President Roosevelt over their signatures. We are sending our neighbor, Wil- liam B. Wilson from this (the Fifteenth) congressional district of Pennsylvania to assist in your battie for justice. We have trusted him since boyhood to look after our interests.

There's a Vast Difference between poor whiskey at a big price and good whiskey at a low price. With the former we have nothing to do—we won't sell it at any price. But because we have and handle nothing but the best brands is no reason why we charge more for it. In fact, our reputation for standard goods at a low figure is more than local. We believe in a standard article and also believe in selling it for what it is worth—and not a cent more. Beer? Of course the same policy obtains there too. Nothing but the best—Duquesne and Piel—and the price is right, too. BED. A. MELLON, PATTON, PA. Local Pone: THE GRANGE NATIONAL BANK OF PATTON, viet - - woe Surplus - - 12,000 John A. Schwab, Pres.
