Tbe Bradford county commission ers aro advertising for proposals for budding the Troy Court House. F. 11. Tomlinson of Sonestown, is absent at present, buying horses and mules to supply the demands of his patrons. The present, summer must have been laid out for campmeetings, picnics, and excursions, as far as the weather is concerned. Lancaster County embraces 9440 farms and leads all the counties of the State, while Cameron with 339 is at the tail end. F. M. Croßsley still runs his stage to meet the afternoon train at Nord mont. Mr. Crossley also runs the bus to meet the trains at the Laporte Btation. The Republican ticket placed in nomination on Monday, is a iiood one and is deserving of the support of every honest thinking voter in Sullivan county. Those who put down new wells, or have deepened their old ones, duting the recent prolonged drouth, will not be likely to ever lack a sup ply of water in the future. Mrs. J. Buckingham aged fi3 years died at her son Edward's residence near Elk Grove, on Thursday of last week, of heart disease. Funeral services were held in Hillsgrove on Sunday. The young people in attendance nt the Teacher's County Institute at Forksville, enjoyed a dance in Lan caster's Hall on Friday evening. Of course they all were entertained most merrily. A favorite expression of some of our heavy weight doctors—Pretty! hot, is'nt it P Five minutes later— Pretty hot, is'nt it ? Guess this is a breeder of a sun stroke. The Doc.; had an eye to business. The winter term of the Laporte graded school will commence on j Monday next with Mr. Orr L. Davis of Ilughesville, as principal and Miss Jennie Hoffman of Pu- Ahore, teacher of the primary grade, j It is reported that traffic over the Williaineport and North Branch j ltailroad will be greatly increased in the near future, through the fact of the Reading company's intention to ship a large portion of its coal over its route. A severe wind storm passed to the West of Eagles Mere, on Sunday night last. A house near Daniel Little's was overthrown and con siderable damage done. No one was hurt. The storm was felt at Eagles Mere but no serious damage svas done. For the present and uutil the construction train completes the tie laying to Jting's the train service at' Laporte, consists of a train leaving j here at 7:50 a, m., and returning ar riving at 7:10 p. m. This gives us the morning and evening trains on the R. It., to and from Philadelphia. A spirited horse of Michael Lawley, ran away through our streets Saturday afternoon. The horse was hitched to a railroad cart «nd the cart was filled with rubbish of most all description, which was scattered over our streets periuiscously. No serious damage rseulted from the little excitement, however, A Masquerade Ball was given at the Mountain House, on Monday evening, for Mrs. Burdette, who leaves for her home in Washington on Saturday next. A large number attended and the costumes were very | good indeed. The evening was spent in dancing etc., refresh ments being served at 11:30. All who were present enjoyed a merry evening. The Republican Convention of Columbia county assembled in the Court House, at 2 p. m., on Monday last week and placed in nomination the following ticket: For Prothono tary, Arthur Robbing, of Rupert; Register and Recorder, L. C. Williams, of Orange; Treasurer, It. ft. iiowman, Berwick j Commission er, W. 11. U tt, Main township; District Attorney , ][. A. McKillip, Bloom ; Auditor, W. M. Monroe, Rupert. W. D.

The amusement of the evening will be a "Dickens''party. Would be pleased to have each guest represent one of his characters if possible. All are cordially invited. BY ORDER OF COMMITTER. Unless you write or have printed on your envelopes the number of days you wish your letter held, the postmaster will hold it thirty days instead of ton. This is important to business men who do not want their letters detained over five or ten days. To avoid trouble the number of days the letter is to be held should be conspiciously print ed. Will L. Laird, proprietor of the Raymond Hotel, of the 'Mere, made the REPUBLICAN otllce a call on Fri day and requested his name placed on our subscription book. Mr- Laird was accompauied by several of his guests who spoke very nicely of our town. Mr. Laird will visit the World's Fair the early part of September and will go via. the W. it N. B. and Erie railroads. We wish Mr. L. a pleasant outing. Pres. 11. C. McCormick, with Messrs. Taylor and Satterfield, owners of the new road, General Manager Welch, E. R. Payne, Chief Engineer Marston, A. M. Nesbitt and others, came over the road on Tuesday, arriving at Laporte at 11:30 a.m. Here they were joined by Judge Ingham and E. P. Ingham and the party ran over the road to Satterfield and to Bernice. The purpose of the trip was to inspect the road. The special returning passed through Laporte at 5 p. m. Chus. S. Seeley, proprietor ol the Forksville Hotel, has made many noticeable changes on the old stand and one would hardly recog nize the building as the Forksville House of a year ago. He has built a three story addition to the struct ure which increases the size of his dinning room nearly one-half, adds ten bedrooms to the former list and also gives him a private parlor. The new bedrooms as well as the ol<] ones are very nicely furnished. The interior of the old part of the build ing is being papered »nd paintec and when completed will compare quite favorably with the new addi tion. A veranda has been ere,cted along the cast side of the building and is very pretty quarters to spent an hour or two in quietness ane sightseeing. On Saturday night, August 2G, ai 7:30 p. m., the first passenger trail on the W. & N. 13. B. li., came tc Laporte. A large delegation o men, women and children, wer< gathered along the bank of Lak< Mokoma, waiting for the long wish ed for sight, and when the trail came gliding in it was greeted b) loud huzza's of welcome. Bob Sim mons was the engineer and held th< throttle, and conductor Knipe hac the train in charge, The train was run in on the switch and a few minutes later another train ran intc the station. This was the Presi dent's special, and had on board President 11. C. McCormick, Mrs, McCormick, Miss Nellie McCormick, Master John McCormick, Benj. G. Welch, Miss Miss Minnie Welch and Judge Ingham. Mr. MuConnick and his party re mained at Laporte until Sunday evening at 5 p. m., when they re turned to Williamsport. During the day the Lake was visited and the party expressed themselves as well pleased with Laporte and the surroundings. HE GOT THERE. The Plucky Dutchman Nareeedg iu lteMciiiiig the World'* Fair. Chas. J. Guetling arrived at the Pennsylvania Building at the World's Fair grounds ut 7 o'clock Wednesday night with a wheel barrow, which he has trundled from Pottsville, Pa., a distance of 800 miles.Guetling left Pottsville at noon on July 8, and has pushed his barrow over mountains and, as he declares, some of the worst roads he ever saw in his life. On the barrow was a keg of beer made by a Potta | ville firm. It is intact, that being I one of the conditions under which the race is made. The time set to accomplish the task was thirty-one days. Guetling made it in twenty-eight. The best time he made in any single day was forty-two miles, which he did coming through Ohio. He expended S4O for food and lodging. He was taken in charge by Secretary Ger hart and given a bath and a bed. Guetling savs the worst roads he en countered were coming into Chica go. He say ß he would not make the trip again. His barrow and con tents weighed 100 pounds.—Mt. Carmel Newt. The second annual convention of the Epworih League of Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church will be held in Williamsport, Pa., Oct. 17, 17 and 19, 1893. This convention will be (lie largest gathering of Methodist young people that ever assembled in Pennsylvania. A Chance to See tlie Old Bell. The people of Towanda and all those along the line of the Lehigh Valley may have an opportunity to see the old Liberty Bell without going to the World's Fair. This famous old relic of Independence is now on exhibition at the Pennsyl vania building in the White Cit3 r , but when the Fair closes must be taken back to Independence Hall, Phila delphia. The Pennsylvania board of managers are looking over the routes, and Mr. 11- A. Mercur of this place, Treasurer of the board, in forms us that there is a probability that the bell will be brought back over one of the Lake Shore roads, and down over the Lehigh to Phila delphia. If this route should be de cided upon the bell will be on ex hibition for a short time at least in the rear of the Court at Towanda. By all means let it come this way. There are a great many people who would be very glad to see this famous old bell that cannot afford togo to the Fair, and we believe if all the papers along the line of the Lehigh will take up the movement it will come this way. Brothers of the press give it a lift.—Towanda Republican. Yes, and why not continue the monster right down over the W. & N. B. It. R., to Laporte and give it a breath of fresh and pure air and a ride over the newest railroad in the country and the oldest on paper. With the old Liberty Bell and the W. & N. B. in close quarters, ex citement would be great. Let her come this way. Trouble in lite Democratic Camp. What does the news from Wash ington portend ? Achilles Cochran sulking in his tent ; Democratic leaders at war; threats of political assassination ; charges of the basest treachery against those who have fed most heartily at Cleveland's of ficial table ; frantic appeals to Re publicans to save the nation—What mean these ? It means that the people made a mistake last fall when they placed the Democratic party in power And it further means that they have found it out. There is not one good measure for the relief of pres ent ills that does not depend for more than one-half its votes on the Republican members. The Repub licans will not fail in doing their duty, but it is a severo comment on the people and a satire on Demo cracy that the Republican party must do the heavy work at this time. It is with the power of Congress to help this country out of its finan cial difficulties, and that light speedily. The Republicans stand ready to furnish more than half the necessary votes. What will the Democrats do ? Appaiently they will talk until doomsday. What wretched comforters! We appeal to the Democrats to iljop partisanship and get down to business. The Republicans have ilone so and are ready to vote at any moment. Cannot the Demo cratic victors afford to do the same ? —lnquirer. STEELTON, PA., Aug. 28, 1593. There is no denying the fact that the result of the stringency in the money market is fast even here in this live busy borough where mil lions of dollars have been paid in wages to workingmon employees of of every description at the immense steel plant during the past twenty five years. The depression in business caused by the stringency in the money market was keenly felt at the steel works the past week, but the managers of the immense affair, are making efforts to keep their tired and faithful employees at work during the coming winter. The close times however, lias compelled the management of the plant to make a general reduction of wages, on and after Sept. 16. Such is the result of democratic rule. Hoke Smith the unsuspended rebel, is still puncturing the wouuds of the old union soldier with his knife of suspension. Had he been suspended thirty years ago by strong hempen cord, it would have been a blessing to this country. But who is to blame for this ? Why, the democratic party—they placed him in the position he oc cupies. So when tlieso suspensions of pensions hit a democrat soldier he should not kick for he voted for it; that's where the laugh comes in, for the friends of Grover and Hoke. The road is becoming handsome ly paved by the democrats for a republican victory in 1896, and for many years thereafter. This change has wrought such a disaster to the country that it will be remembered by the people. p. THE MJAILOT LiW. kplss ol the Rsmsi to Reoeived by tin Commissioners. AN IMPKOVENKNT OVER THE ©El>. The County Commissioners have re ceived sample copies of the form of ballots henceforth to be uwl in this state in con formity with the act of Legislature of June 10, 1893. The ballot is printed in four columns, one of which is as follows : For a Ntraight Ticket. o Mwrk Within the Circle. REPUBLICAN. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. [Mark Two.] G. W. BIQGEBS. J. J. WEBSTER. CORONER. [Mark One.] F. W. BUOCRWAT, COUNTY AUDITORS. [Mark Two.] E S. LITTLE. M. E. WILCOX. j And so on through the entire list of candidates who may be running at the time. INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTERS. At the head of the ticket the fol lowing instructions are printed: A cross (x) marked in the square at the right of the uamt, of each candidate, inside the line inclosing the column, indicates a vote for each candidate thus marked. If a cross (x) be marked withinl the circle, it will be equivalent to' u mark opposite every name, in the column. Those who do not desire to vote a straight ticket must not mark a cross within the circle at the head of the column. There are four columns, one be side the other, in the ticket. The first one is headed "Republican," the second "Democratic," the third "Prohibition," all similar to the one reproduced above, and the fourth solumn is for the accommodation of voters who desire to vote for men in regular nomination. Jt contains the names of the offices to be filled, in Ihe same order as in the other solumns, with blanks where, in the others, names of candidates are printed, and at the top is the in formation that "The voter may in jejt in the column below the name >f any person whose name is uol printed on the ballot for whom, he iesires to vote," 1 and the further notice that "This column ia for the use of voters desiring to vote for candidates other than those whose names appear printed on this ballot." The circle at the top of the column is exactly as big around as a dime, md a mark in it votes the entire jolumn. It will be seen that the old system of groups has been lone away with. All tho Republi can candidate, no matter for what offices, are printed one under the other, and a mark in the circle car ries the lot. If a voter wants to But he does not need to pick out the ?roup he must cut, but he must put % mark to the right of every name he wants to yote for, no matter where that name appears, and let the circle severely alone. This ballot is manifestly an im provement on the style used last year, and bids fair to not mislead even the careless or illiterate voter. "We want work. We can't stand starvation. Do something for us." This was the cry back in 1857. It was likewise the cry in Now York on Wednesday of last week. Oh, we are back to the good old Demo cratic days, when soup houses were established in every town and city, and skilled mechanics were glad to got an} kind of work at any wages. The scene in New York on Wednes day was an object lesson that oould only spring from Democratic suo cess. It was pitiful in the extreme that men should cry for work and bread in the largest city in the coun try at this close of the nineteenth century. More shame to the men and the party through whose falsity this misery fell upon Americans. A short time ago an order came to the Mlllvllle Pa., post office drop ping the name of a pensioner from the roll who had been dead nearly two years. In this instance the Great Reaper got in his work before Hoke Smith. It must irritate this modern reformer who defiantly ignores all former rulings of the pension department to learn that he may be beaten at his game of strik ing down pensioners, The Hughesville fair will take place on the 26, 27, 28 and 29 of September. C. C. Marr and Cbarles fiux Lave been suspended from the pension roll 3. Thus the noble (?) work of this reform administration goes for ward. It is a kind of Libby or Andersonville prison process re established to starve the soldier to death and thus get rid of him.— Bloomsburg Republican. Newspaper publishers are some* times charged with being persistent dunners. Those who make the charge do not give due considera tion to the fact that circumstances compels the publisher to look after the payment of thousands of small accounts, making a large aggregate, while a merchant or trader Las comparatively few such to look after. If you don't ask a man for jour just dues, how are you going to get it? Wait for him to dun himself. Well, we are bald now waiting on those kind of people. Boslaera Locals.
