The fellow who predicted a mild
winter had better join the one who
announced that the Gulf Stream
had changed its course, and start in
search of McGinty, who is thought
to be still at the bottom of the sea.
The fight with the Indians still
continue. Our government of
ficials are too big hearted; they
should cut them down right and
left and at the same time stop their
supplies.

than the ordinary paper. We con-\
gratulate the Lyman Bros., editors,)
upon their success.

wanda Argus are pretty certain of

ed Herman Ring of LaPorte twp.,

J. Donald Cameron will continue

To the Monroeton Enterprise—

The New York Press is a daily
paper of world renown. It is a
strong advocate of Republican
principles and perhaps has the hon
or of the largest circulation of any
paper published in the U. S. It is
a fearless sheet and guilty parties
are made public in its columns.
A sanitarium at LaPorte would
certainly prove a success. We
doubt if a better location for a said
institution could be found in the
State of Pennsylvania. The brick
house known as the Michael Meylerl
residence and is for sale, would
make a first class building for this
purpose.
The Sheriff of both Sullivan and
Columbia counties will visit Jamison
City in their official capacity, on

in the large hotel at said place. The
side will be quite extensive and
the officers will realize a good com
mission on the same.

has just returned from trip -to

ment owing to a mishap of having
his thumb mashed while coupling
cars,at the "Y" a short distance be-*
low Nordmont, recently. During
his absence Harley Edkin, baggage
master on the road, served in the
capacity ot conductor andj rendered
the position well.
J. A- Jordan Bros, bankers of
Coleporte, county, will es
tablish a bank at this place on or
about the 15th of next month. They
have secured the Flynn store build
ing for this purpose in which is now
located the post-office. Said office
will be removed into the first build
ing West of the present location
known as the Meat Market, shortly, i
Mr. Jordon spent several days at
LaPoite last week and was quite
favorably impressed with our town.
He informs us that ho shall make a
specialty of loaning money 011 good
security and docs not care for de
posits. The Bank will be Known as
the "LaPorte Loan Bank." La-
Porte will have the honor of the
first Bank establised in the count}'.
A young couple from Lopez, Pa.,
said to be a farmer's daughter and
his hired man, registered at the
Tioga hotel last Wednesday night,
at about 2 o'clock, having come to
Waverly on the late Lehigh Valley
train. W. H. Spaulding was called
to tie the knot, and a Rochester (
drummer was awakened, the bride
refusing to accept the services of
the colored porter as a witness.
We are told that her father ac
companied by her brother came to
Waverly the next morning to find
his daughter, but on learning that
the eloping couple were married, re
turned home disgusted.—Waverly
Press.
A party of young people of Du
shore took a sleigh ride to LaPorte
on Friday night last, and enjoyed a
dance in the Hall and supper at the
Mountain House. They were join
ed by a large delegation of young
people of LaPorte 011 their arrival
and the evening was immensely en
joyed by all present. Following is
a list of those present of Dushore:
Miss Effie Bowman, Miss Addie
Honnotter, Miss Olie Brewer, Miss
Libliie Utz, Miss Anna Mahaffey,
Miss Belle Hunsinger, Maud
McHenry, Miss Jennie Mcllenry,
Miss Mortor, Miss Fannie Kellog.
Mr. Howard Walbridge, Mr. M. A.
Scureman, Mr. Philip Seamen, Mr.
Charley Scureman, Mr. Gus. Wag»
ner, Mr. Bayard Martin, Mr. Chas.
Heverley, Mr. Mancy Fairchild, Mr.
Lewiß Erb, and Mr. Harry Brewer.
To be on the safe side our patrons
should have their deeds of real es
tate recorded. Only the other day
a circumstance occurred in Northum
berland Co which is evidence enough
to prove that land owners by neglect
of this important duty place them
selves in a position that they can
be forced to long ami unpleasant
litigation. The circumstance was
as follows:
"An attorney of Milton while ex
amining the title of a certain prop
erty at Simbury the couuty scat of
said county, discovered that the
title so far as the records showed
was still in the name of the former
owner. Subsequently investigation
developed the fact that the deed
transferring the property to the
present owner was destroyed in the
(lie of 1880. As the case now stands
the owner has no papers to show his
title to the property, and were it
not for the fact that the original
owner is still living and is willing to
make another deed, the matter
would be seriously complicated."
Now the question suggests itself;
are there any of Sullivan county tax
payers in a similar position ?
The county commissioners will
hold an appeal at their office in La-
Porte borough Pa., on the 19th and
20th of February, 1891, for the pur
pose of hearing such as feel them
selves aggrieved by the
and make such alterations as seem
to them just and proper.
EVA HAMILTON AT HOME.
Sha Really Seems to Have Settled
Down, Facta About Her Father.
A letter from Wilkes-Barre to a
Philadelphia paper says Eva Ham
ilton seems a happy woman " now.
She is at her step-father's home at
Dallas, Luzerne county. "Bill"
Steele, her step-father, is about 60
years old, but the neighbors say he
looks twenty years yuunger since
Eva came home. After the Atlantic
city assault on Mrs. Donnelly he
started to walk to the seaside. He
fell by the wayside before he had
gone far. When he made known his
mission a man paid his fare to At
lantic City, where he remained for
some time. When Eva was released
! a month ago, Mr. Steele went to
Jersey City and accompanied her to
Pittston. She remained there with
a friend for a day or two and then
went to Dallas, where she joined
the family. For many years Farm
er Steel eked out a miserable ex
istence on a small patch of land he
called his farm. He had one cow,
and the stable was an old, rickety |
ailair, which let in the wind from all'
sides. Since Eva came home, how
ever, things have changed wonder-1
fully. There is a new gate iu front l
of the house, and there is also a new!
stable. Instead of one cow there
are two. Eva has discarded fine!
feathers and now dresses like all the
other women in the neighborhood.
Last week was the first time she
left home since she came from New
Jersey. She went to Scrantou on a
shopping tour.
It was eighteen years ago when
Eva left that part of the county.
For ten years nothing was heard of
her. Then one day a man who was
acquainted with the family and
knew Eva very well, brought the
news that while traveling in Cali
fornia he had met her in company
with her husband. That was the
last heard of her until the Atlantic
City incident. It is said to be her
intention to make her home per
manently with her own people in
Dallas.
A CANE FOR MR. HIBBAHO.
Err»f loyes of the Short Line Present
Him a Handsome Suck.
.S'ionx City Journal Jan. 3.
When George W. Hibbard leaves
Sioux City and the Pacific Short
Line, a few daj's from now, he will
carry with him a handsome token
of the good will and wishes of the
force of employes who have worked
under him since he has been trallic
manager of that road. It is a beau
tiful cane, which was presented to
him yesterd y. About the middle
of the afternoon, as he was sitting
at work in his private office, the
force of clerks in his department,
headed by J. E. Gallagher, his pri
vate secretary, entered the room,
and when Mr. Hibbard looked up in
surprise at the unexpected call, Mr.
Gallagher stepped forward and in a
neat little speech presented an ele
gant gold-headed cane, the gift of
the employes to the traffic depart
ment, including all the agents on
the line. Mr. Gallagher spoke of
the high esteem iu which the honors
held the gentleman who had been
their chief, but who was soon to
leave them. For the employes of
the road, he wished Mr. Hibbard all
success in his new position in the
south, and assured him of their
earnest regard.
Mr. Hibbard was taken complete
ly by surprise, and was at a loss for
a response But ho recovered him
self'and replied in a feeling little
speech, assuring his friends of his
appreciation of their kindness, and
thanking them for the beautiful
present. A general handshaking
followed, anl everybody agreed that
in Mr. Hibbard the road was losing
a splendid railroad man and a per
fect gentleman.
The caue is a very fine one, with
heavy gold head, which was en
graved handsomely. Below the ar
row and crow's wing trade mark
of the Short Line were the words,
"G. W. Hibbard, G. F. and P. A.j
From employes."
