LAPORTE, PA. SEPTMBKR, 27th, 1889 , LOCAL PEMBTMENT The atmosphere is a trifle chilly. Look-out tdr $lO, counterfeit bills. The atten(liince at court this week is not very large. Candidates will get in their work at the fair next week. Court guests spend their leisure hours—throwing ringers. The commencement of winter schools will soon be in iirder. John Annmiller, P. M:, of Eagles- Mere, was in town on Wednesday. Sullivan county fair next week Wednesday, Thursday ahd Friday. Men set up the drinks and drinks upset the men—quite a distinction. Odd Felloes take in the picnic, at LaPorte, on Saturday riext, Sept. 28. Mrs. Dr. Hill and son, of La- Porte, are visftihg friends in Hughefe ville. Miss Ella Sturdcvant, Wilkes- Barre, is Visiting friends in Do shoire. Miss ErKma Spencer of LaPorte Van visiting friends & Ilughesvillc, on Saturday last. Abel D. Gritman, dentist of Troy was visiting friends in town the early part of this week. Inghaffc & Breed of Hotel Eagles- Mere, will close their house for the winter, on MOhday next. The W.'C. T. U.,6f LaPorte, will •meet in the rooms Civer Meylert lfoyer, general Superinten dent of Lake Mokoma, his captured 18 troiil in an eel rack set at the mouth of the waste gate of the lake, recentl}'. He has them on exhibi tion in the trout box at the lake and it i$ said they will average 12 inches in length. He captured twenty one eels in one night. B. S. Weiss, lato proprietor of the Iteeser House, in Dushore, died j Sunday afternoon, having been ill I for several weeks with rheumatism.' Deceased was about 40 years of age-, Funeral services were held on i Tuesday, interment in the Biilir's Cemetary. Owing to the fact that Hotel Eagles Mere will be closed on Mon day were rilsticating there removed to this plA'ce on Wednesday, and ate now registered at the Mountain House. Tliey Will spehd seVeral weeks at LaPorte. County Commissioners; Campbell, Meytrs, and Hugo accompanied by Commissioners clerk R. M. Stor: monk lelt on Mdnday Sept., 23, for Alleritown where they attended the meeting of the count}' Commis sioners throughout the state, on Tuesday and Wednesday last. They will return, to-day Thursday. Rutter of the Hughesville Mail will not issue a paper this week ow ing to the fact that the fair is now in progress at that place. The majority of publishers would take delight in giving the first account of home doings. Rutter seems to be an exception to this rule, how ever, the Mail will not be missed; The prospects of Wm. Lawrence being elected Sheriff of Sullivan county, in November, grows brighter each day. People who have not been in attendance at court can not realize the feeling which exists in Mr. Lawrence's favor. The cause is the continual political "kicking," done by the Ex-Sheriff, Mr. Utz, for the past years. Perhaps the largest gathering of Odd Fellows that ever assembled in Sdllivan coutity will join hands of friendship at this place 011 Saturday next. The occasion is a general Ocld Fellow's picnic to take place in the grove at Lake Mokoma. Much preparation has been made by brothers for a general good time and it is to be hoped that each lodge in the county will lie repre sented by a large delegation. Streby you made a fearful break last week. We refer to the squib relating to the knowledge possessed by Mr. Scouten. We admit that Scotrten furnishes the brains to run the Gazette but when you take a glance at that paper you come to the conclusion that it does not re quire a great deal of head work to pan out the like. Now Sti'eby, see here, if you ever make another such a bi'eak, we shall expel you from the printer's fraternity, such poor judgment can not be allowed within our organization. Sheriff Tripp accompanied by his brother Eugene Tripp left this morn ing for the Eastern Penitentiary V&'eve he will deposit John li?. 1- low for a three year's terni. Ballow is the Polaoder wfio vicious ly shot an Italian irt the leg at Lopest because lie refused hiiVi a drink of whiskey, in June last. The Italian recovered and fled from this section of the country and was not present at the trial, ample witnesses however, of the affair were present to convict the criminal. He has served three sentences in the Wilkes- Barre Jail previous to his arrest in Sullivan County. He is a bad one. "Refusing" Newspapers. Ouce iii a while every newspaper 'office receives a copy of their paper 'marked "refused." Nine cases out of ten the party returning it is in debted to the office for subscription. It will be interesting to such to learn that the latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can ar rest any orte for fraud who takes a i paper and refuses to pay for j it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along j for some time unpaid and then order it discontihued, or tells the postmaster to ulark it "refused and have ft postal card sent notifying the publisher, lays himself liable to ar rest and fine the same as for theft, etc. Regretted his Choice. The small boy had had a fight with another small boy. In youth we make up our quarrels easily, and a blow on the nose heals much more qiiicKly than a stinging word in late yettVs. Quick to enjoy, quick to in- j jure, quick to forget pleasures,quick to forget injuries, in our childhood, we grow Slower in all with age, yet, ! perhaps, the value of does not really change; only our capacity to retrain feeling. This small boy had had his fight, and his j mother punished him. He was a boy; his mother fras oiily a kind of a i grown up girl, and could not be ex- J pe'eted to understand or sympathize! With tilt manly al tof self defense. J But he got it all the same, arid when | the round was over he stood up in j the corner with his knuckies stuck j in his ttar-filled byes. "Well," he said, between stfme severe sobs, "well, I was a fool to get you fot a mother, when I was born." If you have an old horse that yoit are desirous of exchanging, call at otlr sanctum and explain your busi ness and Wc will t»*y and accom modate yoit. We are dealing a trifle in horse flesh now a days as a sort of a eide issue. We are a good judge df a horse; We reach a conclu sion by the directidn he points his ears. The first one we invested in about three weeks ago dropped his right on the back of his head, point ing directly back in the direction of the driver, and let fire with his hind feet kicking, we should Judge, about fourteen times in a sefcond. This was about ten times more than tfe appreciated in so short a time and concluded to trade our pet o:r at the first opportunity. On Saturday we were meet oti the streets by an old time horse dealer who proposed "trade." Wfe explained oilr love for our horse saying that he was a fami ly pet and unless he had a pretty good ofae ike could not make a deal. We then to examine horses. Our first examination was to get how many degrees southward he pointed his ears; seeing they were about perpendicular we concluded to make a "dickfcr." We now have a "dafidy." One, we think could not kick etfen if he was of that dis position. He is a trifle bony, that is, he has all the bones now that he had when he was born, if he hasn't, they can not be missed. Whats the matter with the Demo cratic nominee for Coroner. The Gazette, failed to make mention of the gentleman last week. Per haps editor Scouten did not deem it worth while, believing it might interfere with the chances of his nominee for Sheriff. This man ner of doing business is not neigh borly in any event. Give the Doc a good send off, he is a first rate fellow and is justly intitled to it at jour hands. Now Scouten do your best. We clip the following from the Dushore Gazette, of last week. We take it from a half column article announcing a call of the standing committee Ac. viz: "The delegates who in several in stances were privately selected and not by the Republican voters at large and went to the convention like dumb driven cattle to vote aye for the candidate slated by two of the chief lieutenants." This is a slur not only upon the Republican delegates who were in attendance at the convention but up on ever}' individual who advocates Republican principles. The idea of calling the Republican or any other lyirty a dr6ve of dunib driven cattle. Will this sort of information help to elect John Utz SherifT of this coun ty ? Will this slur upon you and me aid him in getting that large vote in the Western portion of the county claimed by him, and his sec onds are positive sure he will get in November. The article Was no doubt written by Scouten and handed to John Utz for his approval which places Mr. Utz equally as deep in the miro as the writer hinisclt was in the mud. Can you conscientiously vote for a nominee who would belittle himself in such a irtanner. We imagine that this article will have a tendency to drive more votes from Mr. Utz than the work of the Stand ing Committee will bring him. It would have been better to have writ ten postal cards to the members, calling the meeting together. The article also might have a tendency to ! lessen the number of patrons to the | Gazette. W. J. Lawrence the people's can. didate for Sheriff is a poor man and is a friend of the poor and if elected Sheriff will conduct the business of his office in a manner which will do iionor to 6i»r couttty. In all cases wL> he has it in his power the poor man will Have the preference. Mr. Lawrence employs from 6 to 12 men yearly and is spoken of iu the highest prase by his employers, lie is a gentleman of the first water and liAs all the requirements neces sary for a first class Sheriff and merits your support. Voters give the matter a thought. Here is a young man, Mr. Lawrence who seeks the honors which have already been granted by tke people of Sulli van county to his opponent Mr. Utz tvho has repeatedly said that he did not make a dollar out of the office, con sequently he is still seekiitg, honors. Should he be successful the honors would be no greater than those which have already been bestowed upon him by the people of our coun ty. Mr. Lawrence whom no persons can say aught against comes before you and asks that you show him the good will which you have already shown Mr. Utz. Can you re fuse knowing the circumstances which have existed in the political career of the ex-sheriff Ml - . U tZ, for the past years ?
