Gee Splits, if half ot our politicians were as knowing before a conven tion as they are, after the ball is over, what an intelligent lot of people we would have in our midst. The man who savs farming dose'nt pay always has time to prove it in a loud tone of voice, while the man who knows it does pay, is usually too busy to say much about it. We placed nineteen new subscrib ers on our subscription book, Mon day. They were addressed to us by one of our agents residing in the Northern section of the county.

There was considerable of a breeze at the Democratic delegate election in Laporte borough, Saturday. The flight was over Congressman. P.

WORTH JENNINGS. REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOU MEMBER. 13. Worth Jennings was born in Pittston, Luzerne county May 4th, 18G2. lie is discended from a race of men who have been engaged in farming and lumbering in the North ern part of Pennsylvania since the year ISOO. In 1820 his grandfather William Jennings was a workman in the woods near llazelton, L'a., after this he bought a farm and grist mill at Mehoopany. Wyoming county where lie resided until his death in the year IS<> i». Jcnniugsvllle, Wyom ing county, was named after him. B. Worth Jennings came to Sulli van county in 1881 when he was I'J years of age. lie and his brother C. 11. Jennings commenced the lum bering business near the place now known as Lopez. At that time no industry had been started there and the Jennings Bros, who had made their venture in this new tield with small capita!, were compelled to work not only with their brains, but with their hands. Worth, the subject of this sketch, worked as a teamster anil guided many loads of bark and lumber over the rough roads of the county of his adoption. With the building of the Railroad from Bernice to Lopez, the Jennings boys erected a new ant. modern saw mill there. They have built log Rail roads connecting with the L. V. It. Ii at Bernice and have now at Lopt>, one of the best saw mills in the sta »• which will not fear comparison with the best at Williamsport or Dußois. Jennings Bros, have made their improvements of a permanent char acter. In addition to building some 20 miles of Itail Road they have still on hand over 20,000 acres of forest not yet touched by the axe. All this bark and lumber will come to Lopez and be manufactured there. The character of the Jennings boys is shown by the nature of their im provements. Everything is soli-.l aiul lasting and not built for a day. liotli, I>. \V, and C. 11. Jennings are married and their wives and families reside at Lopez. Worth is well known to many ol our readers. He is a frank, fearless and outspoken man. No one doubts his position on any subject. He has been a School Director and Justice! of the Peace for thn past six years lu these positions he has shown bis zeal for good school# und his fair-! ness tvs an arbitrator. His schooling was obtained in the Kingston and ; Bloomsburg schools. Since lie was | 17 years oi' age Mr. Jennings lias I been in business and with the excep-! tion of twoyeais his entire business life has been spent in Sullivan coun ty. During that time no bark or lumber jobber in his employ has ever i complained that he was not fairly I treated and fully paid. At the pres- ! ent time over 201) men are employed I by the Jennings Bros, ai d their pay > roll for the month of July was over ten thousand dollars, They paid nine hundred dollars county ta* for i the year 161)3. Those who know Mr. Jennings know ho* well fitted he is for any j public position requiring intelligence, i honesty, energy and ability. Those who do not know him personally can i : rely on the record above set forth, lie is one of the pioneers in exten sive business operations in thl- I county, one who has invested his money, his brains and his muscles in I the developeiucnls of this county, one who has employed labor and paid lor it. one who known Ibo want* of tho people and has the intelligence and tho ability to sucee-ufuly meet their requirements.
