A large number of our young gents, took part in the dance, in the Ilink at the 'Mere, Friday night. Some of the old people say—thore is much attraction there, and it is'nt the lake, either.

Following is a list of a few Demo crats of Sullivan county, seeking ! the nomination of Associate Judge> at their convention, viz: John Yonkin 2d, Cherry twp.; M. J. Phillips, Davidson ; Jacob Meyqrs, Shrewsbury; Jerry Stackhousc Shrewsbury ; Robt. Taylor, David son ; Chas. Hugo, Elkland; L. B. Speaker, Hills Grove. There are only seven of them and we under stand that the entire list is not made out yet. The London Times has taken up the ligt agaiust Major McKinley, and is urging his defeat in the most vigorous manner. If there is any one thing that ought to help that courageous and able statesman in his fight for the Governorship of Ohio more than another, it is the fact that the ablest free-trs»de paper in the world is lighting pgaiust him. The people of Ohio ought to serious ly consider the significance of this j circumstance. Fred Ikler son of president judge I Ikler of Columbia county accompani ed by T. J. Pursell, both of Blooms , burg, while on their way to LaPorte, with horse and carriage, unfortun i ately ran off the embankment of sev jtr.il feet high between Nordmont and LaPorte, about 11 o'clock on ■ Thursday night last. At the time of the accident it was raining fear fully and so dark that you could not distinguish white from black. The boys fortunately got out of the wagon and iu the roadway while the horse layed in the trench floundering and remained there until one of the boys ran to Nordmont, about one mile and a half, for assistance. After releasing the horse the young men returned to Nordmont where tlioy remained ail night and in the morn ing with the assistance of a lumber wagon brought their buggy to La- Porte where it underwent several repairs. The horse was cut and biuised considerably but not serious. The boys were only frightened and say tbsy would not put iu another such a night for a great big fortune. During a thunder shower, on Thursday of last week, the barn of John Kosencrans of LaPorte town ship, was struck by lightning and set on fire burning it to the ground. Fortunately there was neither grain nor hay in the building and all of the farming implements and running gears except a cutter, were saved. The barn was a good framed struc ture and Mr. R. feels the loss very much, having recently purchased the farm of John N. Messenger on an installment contract. There was no insurance on the building. '1 his is a reminder—that our farmers of LaPorte township should insure their property and we would recom mend them to take out a policy in the Farmers' and Mechanics Home Mutual Fire Insurance Company, of ?ullivan county; David Molyneuxi President, R. D. Lancaster See'y. There is a great diversity of opin ion among all classes of citizens re garding the necessity of a Constitu tional Com ention. There are some things which only a revision ot the Constitution can remedy, and the only thing to fear is that too many subjects may be introduced when the work of changing is commenced. Great care in the choice of dele gates would have to be exercised to the end that the membership of the convention be composed of wise and conseiative men. Let Sullivan county select among her best ma terial and especially the Republican party, which, in the e\ent of our delegate receiving the nomination in the district conference, we shall not have reason to regret nor blush over I our representative. 261029 Mr. and Mrs. Bent Cole of Benton, Columbia county, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Karns, of LaPorte, Friday and Saturday last. The Republican State Convention in Ohio—Harmony and unanimity. The Democratic State Convention in the same State—Pistols, bloody heads, prison. What a contrast I The Pittsburgh Dispatch an nounces that the new tin plate plant of P. H. LefTmau & Co., in that city, has begun operations. The first sheets were rolled on last Fri day, and on Wednesday the tinning process was begun. The works have a capacity of 7,000 boxes a year and are the largest in the coun try, yet it will require fifty such to manufacture all the tiu we require. The demand for their plate lias been so great in advance of production that a long lime will be required to catch up. The era of tin plate has come for this country and it will re main. Our Trip to Jamison City. Tbe Editor and 11. M. Stormont were among the large gathering of people in attendance at the Jamison City band festival, on Saturday evening last. We drcve down in the morning and in the afternoon took the excursion train to Benton where we remained an hour or so amusing ourselves with the game most common to the residents of . at town "quoit pitching." La- Pu'te challenged the best they had in torn and won three out of five easilly. They pitch a pretty good boy's game down there, but are minus the skill that is essential ot the make up of a good thrower. They practice considerable and per haps will attain "this"in the future. After partaking of a bountiful sup per with mine host Boyd McHenry we took the train for Jamison, reach ing there at 8:10. The Benton band, which by the way is a pretty good band of twelve pieces, went up on the same train and furnished music for the festival which netted the boys £SO or S6O. There was no dancing, simply selling ice cream, lemonade and such. Had there been a platform erected the band would Have realized much more cash from their doings, but, the boys say that a number of the citizens object to dancing, hence, rather than have! bad feelings omitted the same. During Sunday forenoon we spent j several hours with our old friends J. VY. Fly nil, Thos. E. Kennedy, John P. Kennedy, Thos. P. Cadden and Dr. P. L. Ilartnian. Doc. is a young man and a graduate of the Penn. University and is meeting with excellent success. He is quite a favorite among the young gents. ' The boys in the employ of the i Phoenix Lumber Company, Billy Q,uinn Supt., by the way are a fine lot of fellows. They were driving logs down East Fishing Creek on Sun day and a number of the resi dents turned out to see the sight. We took a stroll up and were quite amused to see the logs go tumbling down the stream in every conceiv able shape. Jamison is quite a bustling and enterprising town. They have four hotels two of which compare favor ably with the best we have in tfie county, and especially does the one on the hill called the Proctor Inn. This is a beautiful structure and is vis\\;d by many summer guests. The City Hctel owned by the Dorsey Bros.. Benj. Lewis, proprietor, is a good hotel and under the manage ment of Thcs. Cadden, clerk, is run in first class style. They have four stores and a drug store all of which are well filled with goods_ The one owned by Thos. E. Proctor of course takes the lead. They also, have a good livery and a barber shop aud several other business en terprises of minor importance. The livery is kept by Lloyd Zaner and the barber shop by John P. Ken nedy formerly of LaPorte. Mr. Kennedy rents the building, which is very nice'y arranged for the busi ness, and two pool tables, of Eugene Tripp, who resides in the second story of the building. Tho many friends of John will be pleased to know that he is doing a good busi ness. His net receipts on Saturday were over sl2. The tannery, hub factory and lumbering enterprises give employment to several hundred men. ONE DOLLAR is a hundred cents, and yon have a right to expect that value for it.
