Miss Esther Dunn and Mr. Har ry Landon attended the ball at Du shore, Monday night. Although February has but twen ty-nine days, there is a rapid in creas in the length of daylight, one hour and eight minutes being made during the month. The Post Office Department has recently announced that all rural free delivery carriers in the United States will have a holiday February 22, Washington's Birthday. There 20,000 of these carriers. Attorney A. J. Bradley transact ed business at his office in this place last week, and after casting his vote on Tuesday lie returned to Philadel phia to attend to his law practice in that city. License Court which was held on Monday with Judge Dunham on the bench, granted license to all those having had license, as there were no remonstrances tiled. The new applicants will hear the decision for their petitions Monday, Februa ry 22. The election on Tuesday in South Laporte Borough, was carried by the Union ticket by a vote of:17 to 31. The opposition ticket as find announced was called Democratic, but as finally printed on the ballot, was called citizens. The issues in volved were purely local—the Union men advocating freedom from corpo ration control in borough affairs and reduction of taxation. The result we believe will prove highly bene ficial to our borough. A E. Tripp has been awarded a contract by the Elk Tanning Com puny, for the erection of a freight depot, a dwelling house and stables at Ellenton. Mr. Tripp will com nience work on this contract as soon as the weather becomes favorable for doing carpenter work. Many of the patrons of the W. «V N.B. rail road will be glad to learn that tin- former genial conductor, Mr. H. A. Knipe, who resigned his position about three years ago, is again con ductor on the regular run between Satterfield and Hails. He is the same pleasant and obliging fellow as in years gone by. Diphtheria, the disease so much dreaded by nearly every one has broken out in the home of Mr. John Walsh of Itingdale. Mr. Walsh and one of his children are suffering with the dreadful malady. It is sincerely hoped that may speedily recover and that there will be no further spread of the disease. Traffic on the Eagles Mere rail road was seriously handicapped last week occasioned by the recent dis astrous wreck. The clothespin fac tory was obliged to suspend opera tions for a week on account of being unable to get logs over the E. M. railroad. The wrecked engine was gotten out of the stream into which it plunged when it left the track, anil was hauled by teams to Sonestown. Sonestown and Muncy Valley, al though not among the largest of the county's villages when it comes to population, can be counted among the foremost in the way of push and progressiveness. While the resi dents of the larger towns must be content with oil lamps "and tallow candles to furnish their artificial light, the inhabitants of these two i enterprising towns will be basking in the luxury of electric lights. Electrician Trappe of Hughesville, I has recently been at Sonestown, making plans for the laying of the ! poles, and the work undoubtedly I will be pushed along rapidly by<the 1 Eagles Mere Electric Light Co. as soon as the weather will permit.

Dunham we showed her the item in the Sullivan Herald in which it is said "Regardless of all that may he said the significant fact remains that Mrs. Judge Dunham was chos en as messenger for the transmission of Judge Fanning's opinion, creat ing the new borough, from Towanda to Laporte." To our inquiry as to the facts in this statement, Mrs. Dunham said that she was visiting at the home of her aunt, Mrs. O. A. Baldwin, in To wanda, when a tele phone message came from Judge | Fanning, asking if she was intend ing to return to Laporte that night? She replied that she was. The Judge then said that he had an im portant paper that ought to be in Laporte that night, in order ',to be in time to hold election. That he expected to send it by mail, but had just learned that there was no mail taken o'n the train, and asked her if she would take it and hand it to the Prothonotary that night. She replied that she would. When she reached the station, Leroy Liley handed her a sealed envelope ad dressed to the Prothonotary, which she handed to Sheriff Cotton the train, and informed him that Judge Fanning wished her to have it de livered to the Prothonotary at his ottice that night. She was not in formed and knew nothing whatever 112 the contents of the envelope. At this time Judge Dunham was in Philadelphia. Having held court in Tunkhannock the fore part of the week and going to Philadelphia without going back to To wanda. Licenses Granted. Cherry Township. MILDRED. 1 ("has. E.
