Under the above caption the State College Times, Republican in politics, made the hardest hit of all, and that after the election is over, when the best judgment should guide the edi torial pen : Much to the disgust and chagrin of the rank and file of the Republicans the Democrats made a clean sweep of the county offices at Tuesday's election and thus ended one of the most. bitter fights waged in the county, The biggest fight wae made by both parties for the commissionership. This was due to dissatisfaction in financiog the repairs to the court house. Evidently the people thought that a blunder had been made or that there was a niggur lurking somewhere in the woodpile. Anyway, a change Was made—~we hope for the best—and the new officials will soon be in posi- tion to judge for themselves.

Dear Mr. Smith : In looking over your worthy paper with the article on Timothy Ladd in it there brings to memory a name I re- member quite well. I think the article written by James Goodhart calls for others to relate what they can recall of so worthy a man as Tim. othy Ladd. I have a distant neigh bor here in Colorado, W. T. Hays, whose mother was Miss Mary Toner, and her family attended the school taught by Timothy Ladd. The Toner boys John, William, and Daniel To- ner were better men for their asso- ciation with Mr, Ladd. He taught them to write a beautiful round hand, skill with the pen that has been pass. ed on to the next generations. My brothers are among the number who still write as Timothy Ladd taught 80 many years ago. I think Timothy Ladd was surely a great gift to Penne Valley. And no doubt in the early thirtiea he was the salvation of the boys, who had the privilege to attend regularly the school he taught, I often heard my people speak of him. Among the things he taught were prayers and the reading of the Bible W. T. Hays and myself are products of Penns Valley, of which we are proud. 1 hold the opinion of Mr. Goodhart in thinking Timothy Ladd worthy of a monument, Think- ing produces Talking and it is to be hoped Talking will produce Doing, and we know Dolog will produce “The Monument, " paper through the kindness of my brother, A.

The following letter was written to Mrs. Belmont, and forwarded by her to the Reporter. It reads thus : LaMar, Colo, Nov, 10 Dear Fanside ; I received your letter with clipping inclosed yesterday. In regard to Timothy Ladd, I often heard mother speak of him, but until I received your article from the Centre Reporter concerning him, the memory of him ciean slipped from my mind, | could not recall any incident concern- log bim soy farther than hearing, in my youth, many people talk of Tim- othy Ladd. He must Lave been =» grand aod noble soul encased fn a warped shell. There are few such hero souls. I appreciated the paper you sent me.

I would like to see the old mountain once more, but that is not possible, Yours for old times, W. T. Hays. [ Theabove letters, as the readers will note, are from Mrs. Fannle Wagner Belmont and W. T. Heys. The for- mer is a daughter of Capt. John Wag. ner and Leah M. Shreffisr, who for many years lived on what Is yet known as the Wagoner farm, at Centre Hill, now owned by W. H. Meyer. Andrew Wagoer, of Joliet, Illinols, the banker, who was lo Penns Valley last summer, is a brother to Mrs. Belmont, and another brother, James, the writ. er thinks, is yet living some where in the far west. The iatter's wile is a sls. ter to W. T. Hays, The latter letter is from the pen of W.T. Haye. He ls a son of James Hays and his mother was a Toner. The elder Hays lived at SBprucetown, snd on moving to the west many years ago he engaged in farming. Mrs, James Hays was a daughter of John Toner, who came from Ireland, snd located on what is now known as the John Bible farm, at the end of Egg Hill.

The Hoyt is a memorial gift from Dr. Henry Hoyt, of New York city, and is the best equipped and most heavily endowed hospital in India. Aceord- ing to last year's statistics it treated over 8,000 dispensary patients, and in the surgical hospital, a handsome, modernly equipped building in the same grounds, over three hundred msjor operations were performed, Both buildings have a large steff of native trained nurses, medical and surgical graduate native aseistants, and two American bead nurses, Dr. Meek is going into the historic and most pleasant section of Iudis Jhansi is one of the five largest cities {of the United Provinces, the others being Allahabad, its capital ; Agri, Delhi, and Lucknow.
