There are two deinocr: nigs in
Columbia county, one is headed by
lion. Win. Krickbaum and tho
other by Senator Grant Herring.
They have just ended a hard light
for the nomination of sherilt of that
county. Each clique had in man
i and the Krickbaum ringstcrs were
successful at their convention held
;on Tuesday. Mowrey was nomin
-1 ated.
Attorney General Hensel has
'brought suit for the recovery of the
state funds lost through the dis
honesty of liardsley. The result is
sure to be a big legal fight between
Philadelphia and the state, as over a
million dollars are at stake. The
people are mixed up in the compli
cation, and will be interested in tht
final outcome.
The farmers in the eastern part of
Lycoming county have been fighting
the Williamsport and North Branch
railway, owing to the claim that
telegraph poles along the right of
way were placed in the fields on
private property. Several of the
poles have been cut down lately,
and when put up a second time
were again cut down. General
Manager Welsh lias had constables
[guarding the telegraph lines, but in
spite of his vigilance a number of
poles fell before the axe.—Milton
llecord.
This line extends from Hughes
ville to Millview. Columbia county.
There couldn't possibly be a more
dangerous individual than a doctor;
• !
under the influence of liquor. The
Georgia Legislature is evidently im
pressed with this fact, as it proposes
112 o cure the medical fraternity of that
State of drunkenness, and to this
end a bill has been prssed subject
ing any inebriated physician to a
heavy penalty. After having been
convicted of drunkenness the physi
cian is debarred from practicing.
Drunken doctors should be as scarce
as drunken preachers. Fortunately,
Sullivan county is free of this class
of doctors.
Atty. H. T. Downs of LaPorte,
showed us a few samples of potatoes
grown in bis garden, 011 Tuesday.
They were exceedingly large and
had the appearance of a good eating
potato. Mr. D. was presented the
seeds by James McFarlane Esq.,
and planted the same 011 the 14th
day of May, hence, they have grown
in about SO days—ten days earlier
than is allowed the early rose to
mature.
As unnoticed in the REPUBLICAN
last week, the Bernice ball club and
the 'Mere club crossed bats at the
latter place, 011 Saturday last. The
game was Interesting up to the oth
inning when the score stood, 'Mere
5 and Bernice 3. After this inning,
however, the 'M;re boys went clear
out of sight and at the close of the
ninth inning the score stood, 'Mere
18 Bernice 8. A game has been at - '
ranged between the 'Mere boys and
the Reserves of Towanda and will
take place at Eagles Mere soon.
Judging from the unearthly
screams ilia', came from the lungs of
the rusticatoi s at the 'Mere duiing
the game of ball at said place, on
Saturday last, we would imagine
them sound in every particular. It
1 those people were invalids when
they reached the mountain top they
certainly owe (judging from present
appearances) a long life to the
j mountain breezes or the healing
qualities of the pure lake water. At
| any event, they surely have the ap
pearance of a long life.
On Monday of this week Mr. C.
i. \ aughii of New York who is
.stopping at the Fair view Cottage
•eceived a telegram announcing the
death of his brother-in-law Dr. j
•Jhas. J. Stephens which occurred at
,he Ann Hospital in the city of
Uexieo. At the tiino of his deatli
>r. Stephens was engaged in col
ecting material for ail extensive and
.mportant illustrated work 011 Mexi
:co and Central America which he
had arranged to publish in connec
tion with the George Barrie Publish
ing Company of New York and
Philadelphia.
J. L. Smyth, Mrs. Ann F. Mey
lert and Dr. Hill have become quite
indignant about the large pile of
stones so prominent in front of their
residents 011 West Main street. The
rocks were ordered there by the
town council for the purpose of
erecting a sluiceway, but at this
writing have nt been utilized for
the purpose int tided, and it is re
marked that tht (town council have
since decided that the structure will
cost too much and that they have
given up the ideaofbuildiug the same.
We understand that unless the
stones are putin place as intended
or removed by the boro "dads," suit
will bo brought against the council
at September term. Of course the
council will be beaten and the peo
ple of our town will have the cost
to pay.
{ It ia pretty generally understood
' tha; Senator Quay will take the
charmanship of tlie Republican
Sta« Committee. Mr. Quay has
left it for his friends to decide and
so lar as heard from all are of the
opiiion that he is the man to con
duct, the campaign. Andrews will
resign at the next opportunity.
The executive committee of the
Sullivan County Agricultural Society
met .n Foiksville on Saturday last
and purchased of J. W. Rogers
eight acres of land in the borough of
Forkjville, which will be suitably
arranged and used for the Sullivan
Conn-,y Fair ground. Large and
permanent buildings will be erected
for the exhibition. The Society
also anticipate grading a trotting
park in the near future. The land
wasp u chased at a consideration of
SI,OOO and is situate along the
valley of the Loyal Sock through
which the new road leading from
Foi ksville to La Porte will pass.
It is to be hoped that the matter
between Sullivan county and ex-
County Treasurer, Jacob Lorah, may
be settled at this Sept. term of
court. The county officials have
been very lenient with Mr. Lorah
giving Uim eight months to fix up
the difficulty. The time has now
arrived when the people demand a
settlement and unless this is ao*
complied the commissioners will
neglect their duty. Only a few
days ago the county was called up
on by tje state to settle old accounts
that should have been paid some
time sii.ee. We mention this mat
ter with the best of good feelings
and tru.it that all concerned may
profit by knowing the others inten
tions.
Muslealan l Literary Enter ninment,
A Musical and Literary entertain,

Recitations, Tableaux etc. After
which ice cream and cake will be

be 011 hand requiring attention,
especially of the children. Admis

15c.
We visited Dushore 011 Friday
last lor the first time in about one
year, and was epiite surprised to
find the metropolis of the county so
uncommonly dull. The streets
were vacated of people and the stir
of business once so noticeable in the
'• Hollow,'"was all disappeared. We
should think that some of the
moneyed meh of the town would in
vest in a manufacturing enterprise
of souie kind that would give em
ployment to several hundred men,
but they say that timber is too far
from market to invest in the manu
facturing of furniture, which is most
apt to give the largest dividen of a
manufacturing enterprise in Sulli
van county. They say that Lopez
would be a much better location
than the metropolis, hence, it is the
opinion of many that Dushore has
seen the majority of its best days.
The residents in general seem to be
dissatisfied with the stir, alloat-now
a-days.
The Democratic Standing Com
mittee, met iu the Court House
at LaPorte, Thursday Aug. 6, and
resolved to hold their convention 011
Tuesday Aug. 25. Alphonsus
Walsh was named as delegate to the
State Convention and A. L. Smith
of Forksville, delegate to the State
Central Convention.
There were seven candidates for
Associate Judge present and all ex
pressed a certainty of the nomina
tion. lion. B. S. Collius was the
only Democratic candidate absent
from the meeting. Editor Streby
arriving just in time to hear the
benediction pronounced. It is said
the candidates were very generous
to the committeemen—all bills were
looked after. We imagine that at
their next meeting, about five of the
candidates for Associate Judge will
not be overly anxious to pay the
freight. The boys are all generous,
however, and it was their desire to
I give the committeemen a good tiuie.
