Messenger will request a side walK to be built to their prop erty on Park St. This will be ask | ing for nothing but what they are ! entitled to. Atty. A. L. Qrim of LaPorte was called to Forksville on legal busi ; ness last week, lie and the Hon. B. S. Collins of Dushore were as eociated in two cases before arbitra tors and were successfull in both, j Atty. Scouten represented the plain l titfs and Messrs.

Being too feeble to care for themselves, they were given to a cat with a family of kittens, which received them into her interesting circle and nurished them with the same fondness as if they belonged to the feline family—Monroeton Enterprise. It is a fact that the Dushore papers take a large part of their local reading matter, each week, from the REPUBLICAN. We noticed in their issues of last week that they had clipped from our paper at least a half dozen articles and we presume there will be as many more steals in their issues of this week. We were requested by a reader of all three papers only a few days ago to speak of this matter through our columns and ask the boys to give him and other subscribers fresh and not old stale reading matter appearing in the REPUBLICAN one week in ad vance.

It is often remarked that politics make a strange bed fellow, bot when a person jumps underneath the covers to find a bushel or more of brier bushes and the thorns arranged upward then he or she as the case may be do not stop to premeditate the disagreeableness of the "feller". For those who have experienced the brier, information can be had in the 2d ward. There will be a social dance in the LaPorte Hall on Monday evening April 7th to which everybody is cordially invited.

Small county orders were recently presented for payment to the Coun ty Treasurer and he was under the painful necessity of informing the holders that there was no money in the Treasury Department, but that on or about the Ist of April liquor licenses would be paid in and would be sufficient to meet the demand. It was a good thing for Old Lycoming that the Prohibition Amendment did not carry, is'nt it ? WANTKD: —Typical citizens to populate LaPorte and the Mokotnan. Citizens who will help "build up"' a community and guarantee a home market. To do this they iflust patronize the home butcher, grocer, clothier, builders, mechanics, and laborers.

Mead of LaPorte twp., was unload ed from the W. <fc N. li. cars at Xordmont on Friday last. On Monday Mr. Mead and sou, Charley drove down and transported the same to their farm about two miles [ from town. The weight of the machinery was forty hundred pounds and was hauled from the station by the heavy team of horses owned by Mr. Mead. The roads are very bad and the pull was considered im mense. The contemptible course pursued by New York since she lost the wot Id's fair seems to have had no effect other than to bring discredit upon herself. Chicago enjoys the confidence of Congress and of the country at large, and there is no reasonable doubt as to her ability to successfully manage the great exposition. The time for holding the fair seems fixed beyond doubt as 1892, the opening to be April 30. and closing on October 20. Russel Karns of LaPorte, County Treasurer Lorah and Isaac Low, both of Sonestown took the afternoon train at Xordmont en-route for Har risburg on Monday where they took part in the reunion of Hartranft's division Ninth corps to which they were members, on Tuesday. It was the largest and most interesting assemblage of veterans ever seen in the city of Harris burg. The an niversary was in honor of the battle of Fort Steadman in which Russel Karns as 2nd Lieutenant of the 209 Regt. Com. B. figured very conspicuously. Prominent speakers were present and delivered addresses. The old Sullivan county veterans express themselves highly pleased with the day's doings and were sorry that our county was not represented by a larger delegation. They re turned home ou Wednesday. Darby Kennedy of L&Porte, pro prietor of Hotel Kennedy, is re modeling the interior of his hotel property on East Main St. He ex pects to have it completed by May court when it will present a very creditable appearance.

King Tot professional services rendered in HillsOrove and adjoining twps., on Monday. Mr. King reports money scarce in that section but notwith standing was quite successful in his errand. He says, to the people of nillsOrove is duo much praise for the manly course they are pursuing in paying olf debts contracted by his deceased brother, but says there are a few in the vicinity of the town! who are not worthy of compliment and has decided to place the same in an attorneys hand for collection. Politics will soon take a new start in Sullivan connty, the scene will be interesting to all. There are at least two Democratic candidates for each office to be filled and the scrambling and wire pulling for delegates at their convention will be amusing in the extreme. For the honors of County Treasurer there are six aspirants, all of whom will pull off their coat, and go into the tight with blood in their eye. At present it looks like faction work. The two candidates for Member are joining hands with their best friend for County Treasurer and ex pect their support in the convention, which insures the combination of at least the delegates of two precincts- At this juncture all will go in on equal footing and the result will no doubt lie an a»tonislier, to many. 100,000 Refused. The Louisiana Lottery Company oti Saturday forwarded to the Gov ernor of Louisiana SIOO,OOO, "to be used to protect the people of Louis iana against the inundation in con* sequence of the threatening condi tion of the river." This money was declined l>y the Governor, because it is on the eve of the session of the Legislature, when the renewal or ex clusion of their charter will be acted upon. Miners ftejoicinif. WII.KKS-UAHRB, March 24. —The hearts of five thousand miners in Nanticoke were gladdened to-day when the Susquehanna Coal Comp any posted a notice at their collier ies that on an after April Ist the miners of the company would work full time during the whole season. When the men read this notice they could hardly believe their eyes. All winter long they had almost starved in silence, waiting for a chance to earn enough to keep body and soul together, and now when on the verge of despair, the news comes of full time during the season and has made their hearts beat with joy. To-day the town of Nanticoke is! filled with rejoicing, and many homes into which the gaunt wolf of hunger was about to enter is bright ened with the prospect of steady work and wages. EngleaMere Chapel. We wish again to call the atten tion of onr friends to this enterprise. Since the REPUBLICAN last published | a call for help a number have gener ously responded both in payments and subscriptions but we arc still in want of means to complete the work. The building committee have re ceived— $543.00 Have paid for clearing and foundation $68.75 A. C. Little on bailding-399.00 Stove and furniture— 74.00. We now have available subscrip tions for about fifty dollars but will require not less than sixty dollars more to pay the contractor as soon as the painting is completed. We believe that by the payment of one dollar by every one who desires to see this work a success in the com munities where our pastor Rev. J. W. Crawford labors will enable us to pay in full the amount that will very soon be due from the church. Payments can be made to Mr. Craw ford Messrs. Little and Avery, at Eagles Mere or remitted to T.
