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.

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.

brother Eugene Tripp left this morn

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 ?
