LAPOBTE, PA., OCTOBER 17th, 1890. LOCAL DEPARTMENT Election proclamation elsewhere. Chestnut parties are now the rage. Vote for Ezra S. Rinebold for Member. Vote for Samuel Cole for Treasur er. Vote tor Ulysses Bird for Audi tor. T.vo weeks from next Tuesday is election. The gun will soon be fired for the straw hat. The Sheriff i3 kept pretty busy these days. We publish jury list for Decem ber term, elsewhere. The weather of last week was fine for thrashing buckwheat. Several of our people are taking in the Bloom Fair, this week. P. D. Miller of Elmira, was trans acting business in town, on Mon day. The roses of summer are passing away but the society bud will soon be here. Exercise on horseback is particu larly seasonable and eminently en joyable. Society welcomes all new wrinkles of fashion, but not so with those of the face. Thos. Phillips Esq., of North Mountain, was doing business in town, on Monday-. It is never to late to mend ; but if ;ht mending had been done earlier, the patch would have been smaller. The young people of Estella and vicinity anticipate organizing a P. O. S. of A., lodge at said place soon. Observe our legal columns. You may be interested in either of the orphans'court sales published there in. Mr. and Mrs. Victor Lauer and family, of Scranton, were visiting friends at LaPorte, the early part of this week. Jimcrackers won't we Dushore people feel proud when we can de posit our big cash in our Dushore First National Bank. Whew! Sheriff Utz and Jury commission er Thos. Farrell, were engaged in drawing the traverse and grand ,iiries for Dec. term, on Monday. A grange lodge was organized at Estella, on Friday evening of last week. They anticipate a large iiembership in the very near future. Ezra S. Rinebold the Republican nominee for Member, is of very highly where he is best known. This is surely a good send off for the old farmer. There are eighty pupils in attend ance at the LaPorte graded school. All speak very highly of their eachers, Prof. Albert and Miss Auua Ettinger. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Farris of Philadelphia, who have been spend ng the summer at the Mountain House, LaPorte, left for their city home, on Tuesday. Mr. McFarlane is giving his store building a new coat of paint and has erected a new porch in front of the same. The appearance of the build ing is very much admired. There has'nt been very much enthusiasm lavished on this cam paign. Politics are very quiet in this section and from what we can learn it is so all over the county. W. T. Watrous of LaPorte left for Johnsburg, on Monday, where he will, as stated in our last week's ssue, superintend a gang of men in i !ie paving of Johnsburg streets. C. U. Jackson Esq., of Ithica, N. Y.. father of C, E. Jackson of Ber liee, was the owner of the boss trot tiug horse at the Hughesville Fair. He won three out of four heats and the old gentleman, who is quite a sport, said l»e could have won the '<>urth, had he so desired. With Samuel Cole Treasurer of i>uMivan county the finances would be •.veil looked after. Sam, as he is >miliarly known, is one of the most •nccessful business men in the en terprising town of Dushore, hence is competent to fill the office to which 1* a«pires. Ezra S. Rinebold the Republican nominpe for Member is surely a first class man, even the Gazette speaks highly of him. The editor was furnished a square meal on Saturday, owing to the good luck of our foreman who shot a pheasant from an apple tree in John Smyth's lot, o* Main St. There were two on the tree but one es caped owing to, John says, '"a flash in the pan." Several of our town people at tended the Hughesvillc Fair last week, but were disappointed in the absence of Robert E. Pattison who was advertised to be present and dc -1 liver a free trade speech, on Friday. They report, however, a good ex hibition and first class horse racing. Squire Mason of LaPorte, who has been engaged in assisting to run a new railroad line near Scranton for several months, returned liome> on Tuesday. Squire says he has completed the preliminary line and he is not certain that he shall return to assist on the route further. An I. 0. 0- F., organization will soon be established at Sbunk. The boys are making arrangements to secure a charter and hope to have the lodge in operation before many j weeks go by. John P. Kilmer the true blue prohibitionist has just! erected a hall opposite Campbell k Son's store in which the meetings will be held. The 40 large trout which were 1 captured in Lake Mokoma and kept > in a box at the lake were released from the snine b\' a vote of the Mo koma directors last week and placed in the deep waters of the lake. Mr. Robert Stormont and Clias. \ Wrcde Esq., were appointed by the directors to superintend the trans portation of the fish. Several of the j trout measured ItiJ incUes by actual! measurement. The Republicans of Per.nsy!vanii never presented a younger set of candidates than they do this year. Senator Pelmaler is in his 42d year, Hon. Louis A. Watres is 39, and Hon. Thomas J. Stewart reached the 42d milestone on the 11th of the present month. All are iu the prime and vigor of manhood, and will make excellent state officials. With this issue the REPUBLICAN starts in upon the ninth year of its J Hie, with every prospect of contiuu- ; ing to a good old age. It has not been easy work to maintain a paper in this county professing the' opin ions of the minority party but by some pluck, a grent deal of bard work and the help of kind friends of both parties, wc have the REPUBLI CAN on a solid financial basis. We' had hoped before this time to en-; large our paper and if our friends will give us their active assistance in increasing our subscription list we hope at a very early date to be able j to considerably enlarge the paper. | As it is the REPUBLICAN is the best! local newnpaper published in the l county. We give all the local news 1 promptly and give the fullest and I best reports of matter of local in- 1 terest, and it is this feature that has I made the REPUBLICAN a household I visitor Uy nearly every family in I Eastern Sullivan. Any one who! knows anything about newspaper printing knows that n man who is at once editor, compositor and publish er has to earn his bread by the ; sweat of his brow, and while we do this for our own support yet at the same time, by publishing our paper we certainly not only help to sustain a political newspaper but at the same time help all classes of people. In the course of a year it would be surprising to count up the "free"notices we insert. The births, the deaths, the marriages, the church notices, the society notices, the calls and notices of all the political parties, the notices of various tem perance societies and other organiza tions are regularly published in a a country newspaper without money and without price. All that we ask in return is your good will and that where you cau do us a good turn you will do it, thos enabling us to give you a better paper every year. W c can promise our readers that no efforts wili be spared on our part to keep the REPUBLICAN up to a- high standard of excellence. Our school directors should take immediate steps to hate the red white and blue unfurled from the belfry of our new school building. The stare and stripes are muoli ad. mired by the American people. A naughty exchange says there is scarcely anything a woman cannot do with a hairpin. They use it to pick their teeth, button shoes, clean finger nails, punch bed bugs out of cracks, fasten up stray bangs, clean out their husband's pipe, scratch their head, pick their toe nails, run it into cakes to see if they are done, Si about a million other things that the poof deluded men know nothing about. Newspaper Duns. Many people think newspaper men are persistent dunners. By the way of comparison let us suppose that a farmer raises 1,000 bushels ol wheat a year, and sells this out to 1,000 persons in all parts of the country a great portion of them saying: "I will hand you a dollar in a short time." The farmer don't want to be small, and says all right. Soon the 1,000 bushels are gone, but he has nothing to show for it, and lie then realizes that he has frittered a<way his whole crop and its value to him is due him in a thousand little driblets ; consequently he is serious ly injured in his business because his debtors, each owing him one dol lar treat, it as a small matter aud think it would not help much. Con tinue this kind of business year in and out as the publisher does, how long would he stand it? A mo ment's thought will convince any one that a publisher has cause for persistent dunning. m 9 « THE FAIR. Largest <?rowd and Best Exhibition Ever on the Ground. The Twelfth (?) Annual Exhibi tion of the Sullivan County Agricul tural Society began on Wednesday Oct. 1, and ended OH Fridaj- Oct. 3d, and was the most successful of any \-et held. Spectators are of course a necessity to> the financial success of a fair but it was not alone due to their presence in large numbers that this year's fair {/roved the best exhi bition yet held. The display ui all de partments possessed the highest merit and when supplemented by the special attractions formed a show which is raiely seen and never excelled for the price of admission. Active preparations for the lair began several days before it was formally opened. The attendance lor the first day while large consist ed principally of exhibitors, superin tendents of departments, those having stands and lunch counters, etc. The weather was good through out, the slight rain of Thursday not interfering in the least with the suc cess oi the Exhibition. We find in the main building the usual attractive exhibits The de partment of fancy work was excep tionally tine the entries being larger than heretofore. The display of fruits and vegetables was a surprise to everybody. Better apples, pears potatoes, cabbage, beets, turnips and corn could not have been seen at any fair in the state. The display of stores aud hardware was excellent- The furniture display was unusually tine and shows that our people need not go out of their own county to provide themselves with everything that comes under the head of neces sity or luxury, in this line. A table made of 800 different pieces of wood, inlaid, was very much admired. We understand that Orvillo Earto, of Elkland twp.. was the designer and executor. The live stock department was full to overflowing with the choicest breeds of horses, cattle, sheep etc. We notice each year a marked im provement in this department over the exhibit of the previous years. This is as it should be and shows that our farmers are giving proper attention to the improvement of their stock. The fair grouds were in excellent condition and certainly an inviting spot. The libeiality of the manage ment, the promptness with which premiums have been paid, aud the enterprise displayed in the matter of' special attractions have had much to do with the prosperity of the As sociation, which this year scored its greatest success. ' We give the benefit of our circula tion to the attack which the Du shore Review has made upon the Republican candidate for county commissioner as follows: Wm. Cheney, the editor of the Republican , said before the conven tion that he wanted to be commis sioner, that he might secure more county patronage for His paper. We question if that is a proper motive for seeking office, but let it pass, the voters will decide on that. Enough to say that, while it is acknowledged by all to have the smallest circula tion ofany paper in the county, the Republican has been given fully as much county printing as the other two papers. Why should it want more? Can't the child live unless it gets more "pap."? Cheney is al ready postmaster at LaPorte, a posi tion yielding an income of between five and six hundred dollars a year. Of course if he is elected commis sioner he must resign that office, but we understand that his sister is to be appointed in his place and the office be kept in the family aud the family in office. "We folks" must be provided for. The chief points in this article are not true, but it is true that "Cheney is already postmaster at LaPorte."] It is not true that it yields an in come of between five and six hun dred dollars per year. The gross compensation to the postmaster is about three hundred and fifty dol-| lars. Out of this we have to pay rent j for an office especially for the pur-' pose, and to pay the salary of a clerk competent to attend it. The office requires continuous attendance from 6 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night. To this expense must, be added cost of fuel and lights. It can thus be seen that there is no real profit to the post master. "Cheney" expects to re sign this office if lie is elected Com missioner. Who will be appointed in his place we do not know; that is a question which will no doubt be decided by a majority of the citizens who obtain their mail at this post office. We recognize tke fact that, mere political services (1o not entitle any man to a public office, but where qualifications and all other things are equal, it is not unusual for active party workers to receive some rec ognition from their party friends ; and it has always been regarded :us becoming, for a political party to sustain a newspaper which advo cates their political faith. In this small county, where there has been a continuous democratic majority since the organization of the county > it has been found difficult to sustain a Republican newspaper. More than once Republican newspapers have been started and suspended for want of sufficient support. The publisher of this paper has almost entirely by his own labor as writer, j compositor, pressman, mailing clerk and "devil" kept up the REPVBUCAN for eight years, until he- was ap pointed postmaster about one year ago, he has had nothing that the editor of the Review could call "pap," and, as we have Bhown the LaPorte post-office cannot be called very nourishing "pap." The Republican convention this year was fully attended. Every district was represented, and some of the oldest and best men of the county were delegates. W. M. CHENEY was fairly nominated for Commissioner. It would be a re flection on the intelligence of the convention to say they would nomi nate a man who is not qualified for the place; why then should any fair minded Republican refuse to Support the editor of this paper? We are for the whole ticket. We advocate the whole ticket in our paper, and shall do so at the polls, aud have reason to believe that the Republican party will stand by us notwithstanding the malicious, at tacks of the Review. "It may be tli&t Pattison was al ways on the side of the laboring man, but lie took a singular way of showing it when he vetoed the act to provide for the erection of state hospitals for the relief of persons in jured in the bituminous coal mines, and the act to provide relief for iu. jured firemen and policemen, besides the seventeen other bills he vetoed, all of \Vhich granted relief to soldiers, sailors, or their widows or parents. The laboring man and the soldiers will remember Pattison."
