IfCovnty Seat| Local and Personal Events] Tersely Told. J Our Indian Summer goes ahead of last summer, Mrs. E. L. Barrows is visiting relatives at Atlions. Mrs. W. H. Randall is visiting friends in Williamsport this week. Miss Dora Uptnan has returned to Williamsport for tlie winter. Atty. F. W. Meylert made a business tripp to Sunhury on Tues day. Mr. and Mrs. J. \V. Higley have gone to New Orange, N. J., where they will spend the winter months. Mr. Jerome Reed has moved from the W. C. Mason farm to the J. V. Fiukle residence in this Borough. Mrs. Lew Harris of Towanda, is caring for her niece, Mrs. Edward Sehrader, who is confined to her bed with a severe attack of Grippe. A party of hunters from Will iamsport. made the Commercial Ho tel their happy home the early part of the week. The game captured did not seriously deplete the stock. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Gries of this place are entertaining the former's uncle, John Schaffer, also Mrs. Penny, Miss Florence Penny and Miss Edna Foster, all of Catdosia, N. Y. Rev. J. 11. Black of Williamsport will preach on Saturday evening of this week, also on Sunday morn ing at 10:30. The public is cor dially invited to attend these meet ings. Mr. David Taylor, who had been clerk at the Commercial Hotel for several months, left on Wednesday for Muncy Valley where he has ac cepted a similar position with Landlord Meyers. Dr. W. F. Randall, of Dushore, was a business man at the county seat Tuesday and enjoyed thoroughly the efftdgent zephyrs of this beauti ful village. Of the latter however, the Doctor sometimes fails to mention in his hurried business transactions. John V.Finkle shook a "good-by" hand with his Laporte friends Tues- . day and left for New Orange, N. J. After a prolonged visit with his son and daughter at that place he will extend his journey to different parts of York State while Laporte is ice locked and in the frapped embrace of a coal-shortage winter. General Manager Townsend has supplied the railroad station at this , place with a standard regulator time piece. Not only the travel ing public find it convenient, but our town people have an opportu- ' nity to keep their time properly regulated. David Temple has sold his per sonal property to David Marks of Muncy Valley, who will succeed Mr. Temple in the hotel business .at the Commercial. Mr. Temple will move into the Keeler house 011 West Main street, for the win ter. James Gansel, this week, rebuilt the chimney to the News Item office, making a substantial and excellent job of the work. The increased flue capacity throwing up greater clouds of prosperity smoke from the "machine" organ wdl without doubt cast a deeper shadow over the Herald office and make the senior editor feel that his day is over and it is time for him togo away back and sit down. A large circle of Sullivan county friends will regret to learn,by an an nouncement in this issue, that M. A. Scureman takes his departure from Dushore for a home in Kingston, Pa. However if Mark's business and social success in his newly chosen field of greater opi>ortunities reaches a comparative degree to his accom plishments in this section his depar ture will have been mutual and high ly satisfactory to the many who hold him first in their confidence and esteem. Our thanks are extended to the News Item's correspondent at Rick etts for paying us so nice a compli ment. It is such correspondents as at Ricketts that goes farthest toward making the News Item more appreciated in the many homes it enters throughout Sullivan county. He is always regular and on time which is proof positive of one being thorough in his training and of good habits. The News Item has an able corps of correspondents that is mak ing the News Item successful. il ■ I ... . ..I [_ . '—J !•?« > \ ' £* ~ *' >-1 '■ - \ Z^ •• A HON. A. L. DYER, Member-Elect Pennsylvania Legislature. There is something ludicrous in the Herald's post-election wail. Hear it. "But for the bold and un exampled use of money for corrupt ion purposes, this county would have easily have sent a Democratic mem ber to the assembly." What an innocent! Make a clean breast of it Johnny! How much money did YOU spend, (if any) for corruption purposes? How much money did you get from the millionaire candidates, Dicker man and Cochran? And how much did you squeeze out of poor Rogers? Did you put it all down in your deep pocket, and keep it there, or did you share it with the "boys." You live in a glass house Johnny; don't throw stones. The Herald, hoping to create dis sentions in the Republican party, asserts that, "Bird was cut and slash ed in every conceivable shape in or der to secure a landing place for Dy er;" and again "Mr. Bird, a lifelong worker in the cause, was cruelly sac rificed by Vincent and the Doctor.." Neither of these statements are true. Dyer ran ahead of his ticket, Mr. Bird ran with his party ticket. He was not traded off. Mr. Dyer ran ahead of his ticket on his own strength and for several other rea sons. In the first place his competi tor was weak; his record in the Leg islature destroyed him. In the sec ond place Rogers leaned too heavily on Scouten, who chaproned him, and spoke for him in the Herald and in public. Mr. Bird's competitor was a new man, and fortunate in having a goodly number of relatives and neighbors among Republicans who chose to vote for him. Mr. Gavitt was shrewd enough to let it be known that he took no stock in Scouten. In the whole county Mr. Bird had only nine votes less than Pennypacker, and much more than that difference was made in Gavitt's own township, where it is certain no votes were traded. Bird got more votes than Penny packer in Bernice, Cherry, Colley, Eagles Mere, Elkland, Forks, Lo pez, Forksville, Ricketts, Ringdale and Shrewsbury. The returns show clearly that in the districts where the "Doctor" and Vincent were, Bird ran ahead of the regular Re publican ticket. Milton, Pa., Nov. titli, 1902. FRIENDS:— The most complimentary and flattering vote which I received on Tuesday has filled me with such emotions that I can but feebly ex press my heartfelt appreciation for such devotion as was shown me in every ward and township in the dis trict. Realizing the strength of the State ticket of the opposition party and the abnormally large minority cast for it (being quite 0,000) we can all realize the almost hopeless task of overwhelming such a vast majority, but the inroads made caused me for a time to be hopeful. Full returns however showed a nnyority against me of 845. Considering the disparity of the vote in the Democratic State ticket I have reason to be both proud and grateful to my friends. Again thanking you for the sup port so kindly tendered, believe me as ever Your friend, FRED. A. GODCHARLES. Clarence Edkin of Muncy Val ley was arrested last week for tear ing down tresspass notices. In de fault of bail he was committed to jail by Constable W. A. Taylor, to await trial. A CARD. Having recently been called upon to take charge of the Wilkes-Barre office of the Pent) Mutual Life In surance Company, of Philadelphia, as district agent, I ani moving with my family this week to Kingston. My association and business dealings with the people of Sullivan county have been the most pleasant. For this and various other reasons we re gret to leave Dushore and Sullivan county. However, we do not go so far but that we hope to meet our old friends and patrons frequently, and wish here to invite each of them when in Wilkes-Barre to call at my office, rooms 19 and 20 Welles build ing. Anyone wishing to consult me regarding life insurance matters will receive prompt attention by writ ing to that addres*. Mr. M. E. Wil cox, of Campbellsvill, will continue to solicit some insurance for the Penn Mutual in Sullivan county and fur ther arrangements may soon be made to look more closely after the interests of the company throughout other sections of the county by a local man. The tire insurance business which I have been conducting has been transferred to Mr. J. 11. Thayer, of Dushore, who may be depended up on to give it careful and intelligent attention, and I trust that all my old patrons will continue to deal with Mr. Thayer in this line. M. A. SCUREMAN. Dushore, Nov. 10, 1902. Scouten in his usual back handed manner gives Gavitt a slap, in his last week's issue. He well knows that Bird could not be traded with out Gavitt was in the deal, but in the face of this he boldly declares that Bird was traded. So much for Scouten's interest in his party. We explain in another place that his statement is not true. An Ohio firm has placed a wheel borrow with ball bearings on the market, but what is really needed is an automatic farmhand. Although Chicago is proverbial as the Windy City, the beef trust has suffered no damaging blows. The discovery that oil is cheaper than coal for fuel should be withheld from Mr. Rockefeller as long as pos sible. "Heaven's Supreme Joy," is to l>e the subject discussed by the pas tor of the M. E. Church this Thurs day evening. There will be Gospel Service each evening at 7:30 the coming week. Orphans' Court Sale. Valuable Farm in Fox Township.
