An effort is now being made
throughout the state to have a law
passed to prevent the sftle of intoxi

This is right and everybody should
do all In their powet to* have such a

Tuesday was a ver3' pleasant day
and the bright rays of sun light
melted and settled to some extent,
the large quantity of snow about
this locality. We still have IOTS of

put it at.

The storm of last Saturday night
interferred wit.ii the telegraphic ser
vice and railroad trafic throughout
the eastern putt of the State. The
wires were torn frotb the poles %
the bteavy weight of snow and the
drifting of the same prevented trains
from teaching their destination at
their appointed tiirie. Thus causing
a great commotion In many places.
James McFarlnne & Co., are de
livering some large arid hartd
sodle cherry logs to Nbrdmont
where they will be loaded on the
cars and shipped to New Ybrk and
manufactured into lumber. One
passed through town drawii by four
horses on Saturday that scaled 780
feet. They were cut in the forest
near tjie plank toad leading to
I Thorilbdale.
The recent storm did hot inter
fer with the telegraphic wires lead- ]
ing to the county seat of Sullivan, i
To accomplish thife would neces- i
sitate a windfall of the forest, as on 1
a goodly number of these great big ]
hemlock trees are fastened the wires 1
which brought UB the news of Pat
tison's election.
They say that the cOunty
at Muncy Valley over Muncy Creek ,
needs repairing. The commission

this effect recently. New plank we
understand is what they want. Well,
there are a great many tlrfhgs that
need "new plank" for instance the
Democratic platform. The Republi- •
can is all right. That's our opinion, 1

Alphonsus Walsh says the dis.
agreeableness of taking a sleigh ride 1
is, hitching up and unhitching his

great deal of nerve to put our beast
in readiness for a fast ride. The '
color of our trotter is very different 1
from thfet of Alphonsus'. It is 1
spotted, red and white, and it has
horns, k good goer though of the '
kind. Will sell her cheap, give us a J

Sleighing is excellent between
• this flace and Bernice 'and load after
, load of coal is being hauled to this,
Eagles Mere and Sonestown vicinity.
,It would seem that people of the
central part of the county are burn
ing many times the amount of coal;
of recent years than of the past.
, The principle reason of this is the
I distance of the wood timber from
J the settlements, thus necessitating
nearly as muck cost per month for
j wood as coal. The latter being pre- i
l'erred.

Ho Sent Money for Lottery Tickets.
IIARKISBURO, Jan. 25.—Levi
Eichholz, of Dilsburg, York county,
! Pa., was artested yesterday by
United States Marshal Anderson, of
this city, for violating the lotttery
law. He had 3eut money for lot
tery tickets to New Orleans. Eich
holz was brought to Harrisburg and
held in SSOO bail fdr a hearing be
fore United States Commissioiier
Wolfe.
This is timely warning to our
many people who Have and awfully
wish to continue in dealing in the
lottery ticket.
"Papa" is the latest. He broiight
me over audit was awful late too
when we arrived in town. I really
<iid urge and insist upon papa's re
nlaining in town over night. You
see, twelve o'clock at night was
pretty late for "papa" to return
home. The "papa" turned oiit to
l>e a scholar of the school and the
School ma'rm was very much put
out about the revealing of the secret
and says next time she will call him
Charley.

In our mind it would be a wise
act of the county oommissiohers to
rase the valuation on property and
lessen the amount of mills to such a
figiii-e as will require the individual
to pay the exact amount he now
contributes to the county. The
present system 10 mills on a dollar
is very discouraging to people who
would like to become residents of
our county and until the matter is
explained to him that we are only
assessed about one third otir value
which is also a bad showing for our
property, he refuses to invest. We
shall urge this in chamber;
Postmaster General
has ordered an interesting experi
ment on a free mail delivery in
small towns. The servioe will "be
performed by one carrier, to be ap
pointed by the postmaster,
expense of this experimental service
will bo borne by the general ap
propriation for the free delivery,
and will be continued a sufficient
length of time to furnish statistics
as to the cost of the service, and
whether it is practicable and de
sirable. If the data obtained war"
rants the change, the Postmaster
General will ask Congress for an'
appropriation to cover this exten
sion of the service. At present tlie
jlaw limits the service to postoffices
located in towns, having not less
than 10,000 inhabitants, or where
'the receipts are not less than $lO,-

The article in the REPUBLICAN last
week announcing the necessity of
having "Deeds Recorded," has
stirred up many residents of the
county in that direction. A. Walsh,
recorder informs us that business
has been exceedingly good for the
past few days and that several of
'his clients had mentioned the hint
•given them in the REPUBLICAN. It
pays to have your name on the sub
scription book of yonr county
papers—if but one—the best and
the one that gives you the most in
teresting news must be decided by
you. This little incident save
those immediately interested many
times the price of the paper.
We sat quietly by and listened
to a very interesting conversation
between a gentleman and lady
in the Hall on Friday evening
last. The occasion was a hop and
of course a large number of merry
going people turnout. Thecouple re
ferred to were young and the gentle
man was of La Porte and the lady
froni a distance. She was doing a
good part of the talking, he not
having much to The subject
was "bald head" which was brought
about, we imagine, by the non ap
pearance of a good growth of hair
on our townsman's head. He said
it was caused by early piety. Well
that's all right my young man, she
said, but at my age I have no use
for a scalp worn man and advised
j him to JMvest in a wig. A piece of
sheepskin, she said, tared and
| sprinkled with hair, would add very
much to his youth. After the con
! versation had come to a close Dan
j came over to where we were com
: posed, thinking of whether she
meant us, and requested no remarks.
! We promised that everything would
jbe quiet on the Potomac and not
even his brother should hear that
the ladies were "going back on him"
lor the want of a good growth of
halt.
Esq. Huckell of Forksville, while
In town on business Monday paid
the REPUBLICAN a very pleasant call-
Several topics were conversed upon,
artlong which were the recent elec
tion —the building ot the new road
down Loyal Sock and other minor
subjects. Mr H. informs us that
there is now in circulation in and
about the borough of Forksville—a
petition asking for the erection ot a
county bridge over the Loyal Sock
for the convenience of the new and
long talked of road leading from the
county seat down said stream to the
village of Forksville. The tax pay
ers there claiming that if said bridge
is erected early in the Spring will af
ford the grading of tlie road which
is to be commenced early in the
eummer; of less expense to the towii
ships by the use of said structure in
going to and from their work. The
petition has, and is being liberally
signed by the tax payers of Western
Sullivan and they are hopeful that
the order ot the court will l? 9 a
favorable verdict.
Mr. Huckell also informs us that
the people of Forks twp., are still
agitating the road recently viewed
over Jordan's Hill which ctosses
Loyal Sock at the mouth of Mill
Creek. This road has also been
i ordered by the court and it is more
' than likely that should the residents
i of Forks twp., be persistent in hav
ing the same built, will be successful.
i This will also cause the county con
siderable expense by erecting a
i bridge over Loyal Sock at the thouth
of Mill Creek.
