With a little good judgment the Republican party can place a ticket in the field this fall, that will win, at the November election. Good men should he selected to make up the ticket and unless this is done, we will fall short several hundred votes. 1 | John TTileman of Dushore leased | a piece of land situate between the ifirst and second Ward of Judge Ingham, Monday, and will open up a stone quarry on the same in the near future.

Mr. Buck who has for some time been engaged in drilling wells throughout Sullivan county con templates entering the lumbering business. He will erect his mill in Colley twp.

They say that those resolutions propounded as the sentiment of the Suilivan county Democracy, in their convention recently, were placed on file by motion of one of the com mittee on resolutions. Well, that was all right—-the committee new the value of that document and the time it required in getting if up, and why shouldn't they let it go before the people.

Twenty-four lambs were raised and tliey and the ewes were sold in a lump for $135. The whole transaction netted him just #IOO. No grain was fed and there was much valuable manure to pay for the grass, hay and straw fed them. Nominate a Good Ticket. On Saturday next the Republican County Convention will reconvene at Forksville to nominate a county ticket and we would urge upon the delegates the importance of placing a strong ticket in the field. While our party is in the minority' in this county, that is no good reason why anybody should be put on the ticket just to fill up. A strong ticket with good clean men from top to bottom, is bound to commad the respect of all voters and no doubt secure many votes from the opposition. A party that has no faith in its own candi dates or its ticket is certainly not likely to draw many votes from any other source. Do not be ashamed of your colors, Republicans. Put lip a strong ticket and if victory does not perch on our banner, we certainly have the satisfaction of having done our duty in giving our fellow-citizens a chance to vote for good men. Remember next year a great Presidential battle is to be fought ami now is tiie time to draw all luke-warm Republicans to the ticket to get in trim for next year, tiiis can only be done by naming strong candidates which will hare a tendency to draw them within the party lines. Nominate a good ticket and bear in mind that "The battle is not always to the strong," aud when the votes are counted on the 3rd of next November, you may find that your work lias not been j In vaiu.

The Thirty-seventh annual ex hibition of the Columbia County Agricultural Society will be held at Bloomaburg, Oct. 14-17, 1891.

The live radroads wnich have access to Bloomsburg will sell tickets at ex cursion rates during the fair, and the indications are favorable for the largest attendance in its history. In the Times of yesterday Colonel McClure tells how Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, brought about the nomination of Abraham Lincoln for President. This is a particularly good year for Governor Curtin to return to tlio Republican party, llis cousin, (J en oral Gregg, is the candidate for Auditor General. Governor Curtin ought to vote for 1 him, and come back into the Repub lican fold. The Republican party is a party of sentiment. It does not forget the glorious past. It is the party which will cherish the memory of Governor Curtin, and it will welcome hiin back to the fold.— Liqu irer , Sept. 7. The executive committee of the SulH van County Agricultural Society have offered a retvard of the paltry sum of for the best Sullivan county band in attendance at the coming Fair. The cost of trans porting a band from any part of the county to Forksville would be near this amount and after paying bills at Forksville wou'd be double the amount of the reward. No, w<_- don't imagine that this bait will have the desired eflect. The boys that take part in a band iniglit bet ter go for a good time, and have no cares. Two Tickets.
