Daily Reflections

Pay Your Dog Tax - Next Monday is the day to pay your dog tax. City Clerk, W. B. Weed, will be at the town hall to receive the money. Thus far no dog catcher has been appointed, but in event owners of dogs do not comply with the borough ordinance there will doubtless be one appointed.

Mrs. Lott's Funeral - The funeral services of Mrs. W. H. Lott, who passed away Thursday at her home on Fifth street will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Both funeral services and interment will be private but friends of the family who so desire may call between now and Monday. The Rev. A. C. Drummond, pastor of the First Baptist church will conduct the services.

New Pastor Arrives - The Rev. A. C. Drummond, the newly elected pastor of the First Baptist church, with his wife, has arrived in the city and will preach his first sermon next Sunday morning. Rev. Drummond was pastor of one of the largest Baptist churches in Philadelphia and is very well spoken of and he will doubtless be cordially welcomed to Warren by the members of other congregations as well as his own.

Horse Ate Hat - One day recently a young matron of Smethport was out driving, dressed in the latest fashion of headgear which was adorned with a wisp of artificial oats. When some distance out in the country she got out either to tie the horse or adjust its bridle and while she was busy with a strap, the horse saw the oats and they looked so real that he proceeded to partake of a lunch. And now said young matron is mourning the loss of the aforesaid oats. The horse survived the oats and the lady's wrath.

Forest Co. Almshouse Afire - At the Forest County almshouse, situated three miles north of Tionesta, fire was discovered shortly after noon on Wednesday. It originated from an unknown cause in the chapel of the institution. This room is located on the third floor of the upright portion of the building. At either side of this upright there is a two story wing addition and if the fire had gained much headway at that point the whole building would have been destroyed. The loss is estimated at from $200 to $300, fully covered by insurance. None of the 12 inmates were injured.
