Our candidate for Assem bly Dr. J. L. Christian, is an excep tionally strong candidate and is growing stronger every day the elec tion draws nearer. In W. C. Rogers we have a man eminently fitted for Associate Judge. Both these men are gentlemen of the highest char acter and unquestioned ability, and we have no doubt but that the peo ple of this county will want such men to represent them in their house of law makers at Harrisburg and on the Bench of Justice at the county ■seat. "When an intelligent man tie sires a piece of blacksmithing done he takes it to a man skilled and best fitted to do it, and so in every line of industry. The Republican party in this county was careful in their selec tion of candidates to get representa tive men on their ticket who could best 1111 the office. Their conven tion, unlike the Democrats, was not held down by one-man power to nominate tools for their own private purposes. Republicans generally, indeed people of all classes except those blinded by the fatuity of a now discredited political craze of reform, regard with highest favor the achievement of the present adminis tration both national and state. It is a presidential year and richly de serves the moral effect of Republi can success in local affairs every where. The indications are all auspicious for that result. —Help vindicate the party that brought back prosperity. The Re publican party has been good enough to drive away Democratic hard times.

Eiester, the subject of ' this tribute of memory, was born near Clarkstown, Lycoming county, 112 October Is, 18:55. When he came to 1 this county with his parents, at the age of 8 years, Sullivan county was almost an unbroken forest. His father purchased a tract of heavily timbered land where the present Eiester farms now lay and there in the primeval forest, began to clear the land. On coming to this home in the distant wilderness with his parents, Joseph was much dissatis fied and when the team that brought them started on their return trip,lit tle Joseph ran crying after them. He was finally reconciled to remain by being presented with a hatchet to cut down small trees. In amus ing himself for many months in this manner his ambition in that line grew with his strength and by the time of his death this scene of his boyhood labor had,by his own hands, been transformed into fertil fields and a home surrounded with all that makes life enjoyable. When the county seat of Sullivan was established, Mr. Eiester was the first to help in clearing the ground for Laporte. In the fall of 1857 he was married to Miss Susan E.Kceler. He then purchased some land adja cent to his mother's farm, and hap py in the thought that they had a piece of land they could call their own, they began the task of clearing, paying for and making themselves a home. By hard work and frugality this object was attained besides rais ing a family of two children, Harry and George. In the fall of ltfllo Mr. Eiester was disabled with a white swelling on his arm, losing the bone below the elbow, and wis to carry his arm in a sling for over three years. While thus crippled he would hold a plow with one hand in tilling his soil. He was drafted for the army but could not be accepted owing to his disability of one arm. By information received from those who were most intimate with him, we must acknowledge our in ability to do justice to his noble life and spotless character; brave and noble in every impulse and true to his word in every instance, fitted for that far beyond front whose bourne no traveler returns, with the sacred ties which kept him ever ready to face his Maker, he was absolutely peerless. Enemies, he had none. Ambitious and faithful in every action in his sphere of life, a model husband, devoted to his wife and children. May his good life be em ulated by others.
