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

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

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.

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."
