Sergeant of LaPorte, has taken the contract of draining and beautifying the play ground, in front of the new school building. The young people of LaPorte en joyed a dance at the residence of Thos.

Mrs. Dr. Murrelle and daughter Miss Willow, who have been visiting friends at LaPorte for a few weeks, left for their home on Saturday. Prothonotary Walsh purchased a hew buggy, on Saturday. It was made to order and is a well built Vehicle, as good as our town affords. An exchange says the man who expects togo to Heaven on his wife's church membership is taking big chances. Yes, rind so arc some of the wives. When the Prohibitionists next nominate a candidate for Governor they should glue him to the ticket— particularly if he is a man with a bar'l full of money. Wm. Moyer, Superintendent of Lake Mokoma, is visiting friends in Lycoming county. August Busch hausen is looking alter the lake property in Billy's absence which ensures the property well cared for. The man with the fattest pocket book dosen't always smoke the best cigars nor wear the finest clothes. It's the man who can least afford the cost who wears the reddest nose. We were in error last week in stating that the season for legally killing pheasants opened, on Sept. 15. It should have read October 15. Hunters please take notice.

Quite a number 01 LaPorte poo pie will attend the Hughesville Fair to take place on Oct. B —ll. They say that the trotting will be first class which is quite encouraging to many ot our citizens who enjoy the passtime, of witnessing the same. The young woman at Phillips burs sent three kittens to her friend, the butcher, and he returned the present by sending her a bologna sausage tied up in ribbons and marked : "One of the wanderer's returned." We have a few men in town who live on the interest of thoir money— that is, we surmise they do, because they don't do any manual labor. $25, in some men's pocket puts them on the top shelf and it would seem that they are monarcbs of all they survey. Ex-county commissioner, George Albert, of Cherry, is dangerously ill and but littie hopes is entertained of his recovery, lie is sufferin; !rom a cancer in his stomachs. I ATTEK: —Mr. Albert died on Tuesday, at Ip. m. Interment will take place in iiahr's cemetery to-day (Friday), at 2 o'clock p. m. Judge Mason of LaParte, is sur ve3-iug a driving Park around Lewis' Lake, this week. The syndi cate is having the work done and hope to have the drive completed by next season which will aliord the guests of the 'Mere much pleasure and will have a tendency to induce the cottage owners to bring fast horses to the mountain, as they will have a chance to test their speed. The homely proverb that we never miss the water till the well rims dry, finds an illustration in the partial failure of this year's fruit crop. Even the failure of the peach crop, bad as it is, is not to be compared to the scarcity of apples, the effect of wh'ch will be felt in almost every household. Neither is there any foreign field from which supplies may be drawn. Wo must bear the deprivation as best we may. Railroad is the chief conversation at the 'Mere these days. The peo ple there are told that a narrow gage road will be built to said place in time to transport city guests to the top ol" the mountain next season. LaPorte has for the past years been very hopeful of the railroad being completed to the count}' seat and have quite freely discussed the same with but little satisfaction, our neighbor town will now join in the I chorits. NOTICE. To whom it may concern.—l this day loaned to William Steel of Jamison City, Sullivan county, Pa., two horses. One a dapple gray and the other a bay, during my pleasure and I hereby forbid any person from meddling with the same. VV. A. BROWN. Montoursville. Lycoming county, Pa., Sept. Bth, 1890. We shall take pleasure in an nouncing the defeat of the Independ ent ticket of Bradford county, on the fith, of November. According to all accounts the article could, withcuit liesitency, be written and putin type a week or a month be fore the 6th, leaving blank the ma jority that condemned the move ment until put to use. There are too many true and loyal Republicans in Bradford county to permit an Independent ticket to be elected in that vicinity. Voters, remember Saturday, October 4th, is the Inst day for pay ment of taxes. To be qualified to vote, each elector, if twenty-two years old and upwards, must have paid a State or county tax within two years, and at least one month prior to the election. Electors voting ou age need not pay a t'»x. Saturday, October 4th, is also the last day for naturalization, and natur alized, as well as native born citi zens, must pay a tax in order to be qualified to vote. Josh Lull of Bernice, was con suiting his LaPorte friends, on .Sun day, in relation to his chances of securing Ihe nomination for Senator of this district. The conference will take place at Williamsport on Oct. 2. Mr. Lull according to a vote of the recent Democratic convention, was permitted to select his own dele gates and has named the following, viz : Jerry Deegan, of Lopez and John Finan, of Dushore. Mr. Lull feels very hopeful of receiving the honors, we sincerely trust that he will not be disappointed. A contract was signed in New York last week between John L. Sullivan, Duncan B. Harrison and Jack Barnett, on one hand, and i. C. Williamson, the Australian mana ger, on the other, by which the first named three agree to place them selves under the latter's manage ment during a tour through Aus tralia and England. A new play is to be written for Sullivan and Har rison. Twenty-four weeks will be spent in Austrlia and the Colonies, and twenty-six in England. They will leave San Francisco on July Ist next. It useless to say that the two yonng Germans who BO suddenly and with such accuracy killed them selves simultaneously in New York last week should not have been so rash. The fact seems to be that the fool-killer was needed, and not being on hand when wanted, the fools per formed the work themselves. This dying for love mania is growing too monotonous, but it is something of a consolation that the majority of those who are affected with the mania make successes of the job. Bungling work has made it possible for the doctors to save too many. Pro. F. W, Meylert of La Porte and Miss Ilosa Miller of Middle town, N. Y., were married at the home of Mr. and Mrs A. H. Ayres of Middletown, on Tuesday last. Mr. Meylert is a graduate of the Mansfield, Normal, and for the past years has served the people of Forksville with honor, as principal of their graded school. Miss Miller who has hosts of friends in this vicinity is a refined young lady and leads in the Episcopal choir of Mid dletown, of which she is a member. Invitation cards, were extended to their many relatives and large circle of friends witnessed the matrimonial services. A large number of beauti ful and valuable presents were pre sented the much admired couple. Mr. and Mrs. Meylert will leave N. Y., for LaPorte on this Thursday or Friday whefe they will remain a week or ton days when they will take their departure for Forksville, and on Monday Oct., Gth Mr. Mey lert will take up his work as princi pal of said school. The happy couple has the best wishes of the REPUBLICAN together with their many friends in this vicinity. We wish them prosperity, happiness and a loving family. To the Voters of Sullivan County. Some reports have been circulated that if I should be elected to the of fice of county commissioner I would favor the erection of an expensive jail and other extravagant counly expenditures; I deem it proper therefore to state my opinion that the finances of the county will not warrant the erection of a new build ing fur a jail at present, nor within the next three years. ' It should be remembered that the commissioners alone have no au_ thority to erect a new public build ing; the approbation of two suc cessive grand juries must first be obtained. It is not likely that two grand juries, each consisting of twenty-four tax-payers taken from all parts of the county, will recom mend the erection of a new jail be fore the mass of the tax-payers are in favor of it. If elected I will in all matte r .-i favor a just and economical administration of county affairs with a fixed purpose to re duce the county taxes. W. M. CHENEY. The Republican State League con vention convened in Philadelphia,! on Tuesday. It was one of the' largest like gatherings ever witnessed, in the State of Pennsylvania. Caught and Jailed. J. B. Blue, agent for the Blooms-; burg it Sullivan Hhilroad, at Orange. 1 vi lie, I'a, skipped the town last Friday in a hired livery team. His absence excited suspicion an i an investigation resulted in finding his accounts short £SOO, besides having appropriated an express package containing a like amount. Detec tives were placed upon his tracts and he was caught at Canesvillc, Sullivan county, where he had stop ped for the night. He was out of ; bed and brought back to Blooins burg, and placed in jail to await trial on the charge of embezzlement. The affair created a big stir in the social circles of Orailgeville, as Blue Is well connected and was look ed upon as an exemplary man and well fitted for positions of trust. He was quite prominent in the M. E. Sunday school of that village, and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the citizens generally.— Ex. vass which Senator Delaniater is' making is causing the esteemed enemy a great deal of trouble. They have reached tlie conclusion that it will be a good idea for their candid ate to stir around a little. Senator Delaumter's canvass has been a most effectivo one so far. He is clear' headed and earnest, and has a way of saying something to lit the oc casion. besides having an agreeable presence and a taking manner, which is remarked by all who meet him. Those who keenly observe the political drift have not failed to see the Republican candidate lias steadi ly grown in popular favor. That this will continue from day today during the remainder of the cam paign there is not the shadow of a doubt, and that means that his ma jority will be overwhelming. "Little Trixie," the funniest comedy ever written will exhibit in the LaPorte Hall, on Monday and Tuesday evenings Sept. 29, 30, un der the management of llohbins Russell. This show is spoken of very highly by the Press and prom ises to be one of the best ever wit nessed in our hall. This is what the Milton Jiecord has to say about the entertainment: "A large, appreciative and de lighted audience filled the Grand Opera House Thursday night to witness the admirable performance of ltobbins k Russell's "Little Trixie" Company. The entire audi ence was kept in wrapt attention and round after round of applause followed as the play progressed. Everybody present is unanimous in saying that, it is the best musical farce comedy ever presented upon the Rtage in this city. May Smith Robbins is a thorough artist in every sense of the word and her dancing alone is worth the price of admission. Miss Russell possesses a pure, sweet voice of much power and did some fine singing. Of the other members of the company sul tice it to say they did their parts to perfection anil caught the house by storm." JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS Is a mutual exercise taken by a great many people, and, as is natural-, they sometimes overleap the mark. A CASE IN POINT: A mail was looking at our suits a day or bo since. lie admired them, thought them stylish and etc. But when be learnftd the price was only $15.00 a suit, he said : '-THEY CAN'T HE ANY GOOD 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 popular mind with the idea that nothing good enn he; hnd below their figures. WE ARE HAVING TO FIGHT THIS PREJU-' DICE, and we're doing it with deadly effect. When once the public finds by actual test, that our $15.00 suit is the peer of any SIB.OO suit they ever bought, good-b}'to Mr. High Price Our Sib.oo dollar suit arc the wonder of the season to those who DO NOT JUMP AT CON CLUSIONS- M, M.
