THE REPUBLICAN. W. M. CHEICEY, - - - - Editor. FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1803. Entered at the Post Office LaPorte, Pa. as second class mail matter. MR. EDITOR: —In your last issue I noticed a short article in regard to the proposed road from Forks ville to Laporte, along the Loyal Sock Creek. The article was timely and has brought the matter to the attention of the supervisors of the different districts through which the road passes. Your readers would perhaps be interested in knowing just what has been done at this end of the road. The portion of it lying in Forksvilte Boro. has been made for nearly two years, aud is now in excellent condition for travel. About the middle of May last tbe road commissioners of Forks township, let a portion of their road extend ing from the Forksville 13oro. line to the "World's Eud," 440 rods in all, to Mr. Henry Holtzower, of Hillsgrove, at $1.50 per rod. Mr. Holtzower expects to begin work upon it about the middle of July and will probably be able to finish it in five or six weeks. After this is done the next work will be the building of the county bridge at "World's End." The county com missioners should be in readiness to proceed with its construction just as soon as possible so as not to de lay the road. This bridge will be 110 feet in length. In your last is sue you state that the portion of the road in Laporte Boro. and Laporte !

Four years ago John was postmaster over there and naturally enough like Cleveland wanted it second term, but the President picked him up body and pantaloons and chucked him over board and appointed another. For the benefit of the young men of Laporte, who argue that there is no danger of death lurking in the cigarette, will please read the follow ing clipping from a Lebanon paper: "The last request of a young man who died at Lebanon from the ef fects of cigarette smoking was for more cigarettes. Twenty-five was his daily average." While our numerous base-ballists were engaged in a game of ball in the street opposite the Laporte Hotel, 011 Saturday evening, the ball was accidently knocked through a window pane of glass in District Atty. Grimm's law office. Mr. Grimm was engaged at bis desk at the time and of course the shock was quite a surprise, however, the old gentleman took it very kind ly and the boys passed the hat, and made the damage good. The New Constable Fee Law. Under the law passed by the late legislature of Pennsylvania and ap proved by the Governor, cocstables can charge the following fees as in creased above what they were form erly : Serving warrants, increased from 50 cents to $1 ; subpoenaing witnesses, increased from 25c to 50c; mileage 6 to 10 cents. These increas ed charges conform to the fees charged by constables in Philadel phia and are now made applicable to all counties in the state. The directors and stockholders of the Lake Mokoma Land Company met at Laporte for the purpose of transacting much business, on Wednesday. What they did, was to convey to the officials of the W. & N. B. R R, a sufficient quantity of their land to build switches aud erect a depot on. It would appear that business is slack in these Williamsport fellows. In fact there are too many people connected in this enterprise, hence, their views of improvements do not jibe. The postal scrip will soon take the place of the postal note now in use. Tho postal note costs three cents, and carries any amount up to $5, while in the scrip a sheet calling for amounts from one cent to $3 has been prepared, fiom which, on pay ment of 011 c cent, the amount of money to be sent by mail to any part of the Uuited States may be torn off the same as an express order. There will be no writing on it ot any kind by the post-master, tho sender endorsing the check draft. The government guarantees its safe transportation.

The man who isn't in lovo with bis town is destitute of that public spirit which is a characteristic of every genuine American. He lives without enjoying life and after his final journey to tito cemetery has been made his memory is not long cherished save by a few faithful souls whose lovo blinded them to his selfishness. One should always reserve a considerable place in oue's affections for the town of which he is a resident. 0110 should bo inter ested iu Its progress, fertile in ex pedients to beuetit it, and thorough ly convinced that it is the best town iu the whole world. That is the reason why so many of our western towns have such au astonishing growth. The people want to wiu material success, but they are vain I enough to kuow that the town must make its own way if thej are to »uc etied. Ihire is room in souieea»teru towns for a little more of that push ing spirit of local patriotism. M L'S't 1 V.i /. /. A" V I'/ 'A'.l/ V.
