We received rfrany Compliments on our report of the Democratic fconventio'u. It Was by far the best given by Cithet paper published in the county. The members of the Estella Sun daj' School gave a picnic in tfieir bueautiful grove on Saturday last. The attendance was very large and a good time enjoyed. The roads leading to LaPorte, are all in good order, the best known for years". This will be good news to those who will be obliged to jit tend court next week. Samuel CoI6, the Republican nom inee for County Treasurer, is an ex fcellent young man, and will take a large vote on the 4<h of Nov. His election looks very favorable. Towanda Was quite lively last Week. Among the attractions, was a labor paffacfe on Monday, a murder 6ase during the week and a fusion political ticket nominated on Satur day.

Herrmatf offshore, the Re publican nominee for Member, will be elected by a handsome majority on November 4th. Everybody should turn in and give him their hearty support. John P.

Court boarders 60c per day at the Eagle Hotel, Henry Kohensparger, proprietor. The bill of fare con sists of everything in season and well prepared. Give the Eagle a trial. A game of ball should be adver tised among the attractions of ou r Sullivan county fair. • The clubs should be comprised of Sullivan coihity boj-s and no doubt would add to the attendance of the ex hibition. It is predicted that next winter will be lnore severe than the last; If this forecast is verified, it is safe to say that wc will be able to see next summer's piece of ice without the aid of a microscope. The Annual Meeting Of the Y. W. C.T.U. will be held in the room over Meylert and Co's. Store Friday eve ning, Sept. 12th. {jflicers will be elected and till business for the year completed.

For further particu lars inquire of PATRICK WALDRON, La Porte, Fa. The LaPorte graded school will commence with Prof. F. M. Albert as principal; on Monday next. The LaPorte school bids fair to be one of the best in the county. The building is by far the best and with Frof. Albert principal, the term will urtdoubtedly close with universal satisfaction to all. Mr. F. F. Kline, of Bloomsburg, took his owfi life Tuesday noon of last week at a point near the lied Rock Bridge by throwing hinisel' across the track in front of the down passenger train on the B. «!t S. rail road. Ilis fhee was scarrfed and bruised, aud his body was cut al most in two right slanting across his breast, cutting liis heart through the middle. His one arm was also badly cut and crushed. .Death Was instantaneous. Mr. Kline wriS a sufferer of dyspepsia and rheumatic trouble which was supposed to be the cause of his suicide. The nominees of the fusion ticket of Bradford county are as follow';* : Benj. M. Peck, for president Judge ; Gen. H. I. Madill, prothonotary ; C. T. Hull, treasurer; Albert Morgair, A. B. Summer, for representatives. The Democrats placed in nomina tion : Jos. Powell, for sheriff. It is predicted that the fusion ticket will receive the heartj' support of the democrats and a few republican kickers bift will fall at least two thousand votes short of being elect ed. An independent ticket set up by either party is unpopular and is very seldoin noticed by the Majority of voters. On the first day of September the new law about boys smoking went into effect. After that date the law says, "no child actually or appar ently under f6 years of age shatt smoke or in an£ way use a cigar of tobacco in any form' whatever, in ffrfy public streets, place or resort.' Now let the boys who "appear to be" under 16 years of age took out. The penalty for violation" of the law is not less than $2 nbf more than $lO for each offence The law provides also for punishing those who sell "tobacco in Any form" to such youth. Mrs. Emma Martin and son Beard, accompanied by her sister Mrs. Hughes, of Bradford, were in attendance at Episcopal services at LaPorte, on Sunday. Samuel Rightmire the new mail Contractor, between tliis place and Forksville, is now located at La- Porte. lie resides in the Green house and took possession of the same, on Wednesdaj' Sept. 3 1. A Sunday almost without a cloud —bright, beautiful and winning; rich in the splendors of a Summer ended, fair in the first gems of Au tumn's coming; a brown on the fields and a haze on the mountains suggtestive of the silent change in a kingdom that corues not with ob servation ; flowers blending their wealth of colors over the garden beds as at no other time of the year; sun light falling warm at no<su to pass in georgeous sunset as the cool of evening comes; so much tliftttells of parting time and jet so mnny in vitations to linger in the woods, by the stream# or in mountain retreats familiar from acquaintance long since made. These are glorious days and this is glorious weather. Bbys generally evince a taste for some partiettlar avocation, and the carctul observer can readily dis cover what a boy's inclination's are. There is much truth in the following observation : "The greatest mis fortune that can happen to a boy is to be startbd on the wrong road through life. No man lives but has an adaptability for some particular work. In that work he call excel, and what is far better, in that woik he can be happy. It is riot always easy to tell what to do with the boy but he should never be forced into a life work that is distasteflil to hitn, for he will neither niake of it tlie success that he would of soiiiething else, nor be happy ill following it* And happiness is thb greatest re ward that life offers to the pilgrim journeying through iU" On Friday night last a horse valued at two hundred dollars was stolen from the barn of Mr. Jacob Corson of near Tivoli, Lycoming coiiiity.' Mr. Corson accompanied by one o<- two assistance oh Satur day morning traced the thief above Sotiestown and learned that lie had stolen a single line libra the stable of George Rea's. Here they lost trace of their man, however, and their persuit proved in vain. On Monday while children of Davidson were out blackberfying they came across a horse tied to a tree. They ran to Ihe residence of James Peter ma?! and informed him of their find who proceeded by the aid of the children to the spot and found the animal to answer the discription of the one stolen from Mr. Corson Mr. Peternian untied it from the tree and when lie was aboitt to start for home,, was surprised to see the thief only a short distance from him with his hat full of blackberries. When the man saw Mr. P., he took to his heels through the forest. Mr. Peterman restored the horse to its owner on Triesday rtid says he thinks he could identify the thief. Lycoming Counly Fair.

"Weeding at St. John's Church La t'ofrte. Flowers and Favors The The New Church Reconsecrated by Marriage Vows. The Wed ding Breakfast. The morning light bioke gently, softly and brightly through the passing clouds of the first day which heralded a weddihg day iri LaPorte for many a long month and the first church wedding solemnized for many a year. St. John's bhurch the most elegantly furnished of its size and location in the State of Pennsylvania, was the scene of that interesting cferemotiy, arid the chan cel afld sacntufiry, tvere through tlie kindness and taste of loving friends and near neighbors a very bower of bliss for the nuptial hour. The natural flowers aikl potted plants were arranged in tasteful order and the gateway to the Sanctuary was tldorfied with bridal tributes. Tlie cross of immortallea on this re-table of the alter, was tlie handiwork of the bride and the daughter of the officiating clergyman; Among those who kindly contributed tlie chaini ing decorations were: Mrs; R A, Conklin, the MissCs Lauer, Miss arid Mrs. Narrows of Philadelphia; Mrs; I>r. Murrelle of Atliefis Pa., Mrs. Clias. Tinklepaugh and Mrs. Judge Ingham, who bore thfe lillies of the valley to throw the light of loving beauty on the scene At the first touch of the iindante wedding march artistically rendered by Mr. Frank Meylert, the portiere of the Sacristry wr's thrown back by the attendants of the groom supported on the right by his best man, Mr. Charles S. Maben of Galeton Potter county, Pennsylvania, aiid on the left bj' Rev. Samuel P.

Downs Esq., this place, followed by the members of both familiey. The bfide passed to the side of the groom Mr. Newton C. Maben and the solemn service of betrothal was perlormed at the chancel steps. At the closing words the bride was given away by her father and fed by the officiating Priest to tlie sanctuary rail, where the wedding service was rendered and the blessing of the church pro nounced. The bride looked vefy sweet and pretty, in a robe of nuns veiling, draped ftiidf pannelled, brocaded with satin and trimmed with lace. She wore a bonnet of the same material aW simularly trimmed, with a touch ing ot snow flakes. Her hair was worn in her usual simple way, crimp* ed in front and gathered in a close Knot behind. The officiating clergy man wore a white stole delicately embroidered, typical of the puriety and sacramental character of the cAarriage voW. A wedding breakfast followed at which were present, the parents of the Bridd and Groom, Messrs. Chester and Charles Maben, Mit Bei*nard Dunnfe Miss Helen DeCon Kelly of Pittsburg. Congratulatory remarks were niade by Mr. H, T. Downs and the ReV. Samuel P.

A CASE IN POINT: A man was looking at our suits ft day or so since. lie admired them; thought them stylish and etc. But when he learnad the price was only 115.00 a suit, he said : '-TIIEY CAN'T BE ANT iQOOD AT THAT PRICE.'" "Why not ?" we said : "Well," he replied, "I never yet saw a good suit as low as that." The man was reasoning from his experience among high-price dealers. It's astonishing how these dealers have im pressed the popiihlr mind with the idea that nothing good can be had below their figures. WE ARE HAYING TO FIGHT THIS PREJU DICE, and we're doing it with deadly effect. Wheti once the public finds by actual test, that our $15.00 suit is the peer of any $18.0& stiii thejr Over bought, good-by to Mr. High Price Our 815.00 dollar suit arfe the wonder of the season to those who DO NOT JUMP AT CON CLUSIONS.
