Miss Wiunie Jackson of Dushore, was visiting friends in Laporte, Tuesday. Judge Ingham and Judge Dunham were transacting business iu \Villiain sport, Monday. Several people ol Laporte attend"* ed the funeral of John Quinn at Du shore, on Friday last. This is the time of year when the wideawake merchants do their holi day advertising. Send in your ad. John E. Gallagher, commissioners' clerk, was hard at work preparing the assessment books last week. This is Thanksgiving. Have you done a deed of kindness ? Rev. Mr. Latshaw should be remembered by our people. Atty. J. G. Scouten of Dushore, was doing business, relative to the election contest, at tho county seat, Monday. What a saving of expense it would be to tho county if constables only reported to court when they actually had something to report. The last session of the 53d con gress will convene in Washington on Monday. May it be of short dura tion, is the wi j h of the people. President Cleveland is preparing his aununl message which will be read in Congress on Monday. It will attract considerable attention. Master Herbert Keeler, son of T. J, Keeler of Laporte, fell from a truck wagon one day last week and sustained many bruises about his face and body- Mr. Daniel Kostenhader of Free port, 111, was visiting friends in La porte, last week. Mr. K. is uncle to Mrs. W. B. Bitter, wifo of our es teemed station agent. During the past week we have placed six new subscribers on our list. Let us place your n-ime there too, will you ? Our paper is the best and only one dollar a your. But few deer have been killed iu this vicinity, this season. Should bad luck continue to follow ihe hun ter, our hunting grounds will be well stocked with game next season. We are reliably informed that John L. Smyth of Buffalo, and for merly of Lnporte, did, at the recent election, and will hereafter vote the Republican ticket. Good for John. The Senate of Pennsylvania will meet in biennial session on Tuesday January Ist, 1895. The next session will be composed of 50 members. Only seven of the Senators are Dem ocrats. The new Catholic church is rapidly r.earing completion and will be an oruament to our town. Subscribers should be prompt in giving Father Enright the promised financial assis tance. The Legislature of Pennsylvania will convene at Harrisburg on the first day of January, 1895. It is composed of 204 members. The Republicans will have 177 and the Democrats only 27 members. John S. Hamaker, late of the Wy alusing Rocket , lias purchased the News, a weekly and daily paper pub' lished at Athen* by S. W. Alvord. Mr. Ilamakcr will without doubt make a success of his investment. By hard scratching and x's, the re quired number ol signers have been secured to the petition requesting a contest of the election of President Judge of this district. It is rumored over here that a number of those who signed the paper arc anxious to hare their names taken off. A freight train passed by Laporte on Suudaj'. The wheels of the freight cars on the W. & N. B. are kept on the move day and night and Sundays included. Theroad is doing a good freight business now-a-days. Th« receipts of the Laporte station for last month was over two thous and dollars. Metnrs. \V. A Muck and .fames A. Rvitincyer, both of New Columbia, Fa., were vi«iting W. M. Ilitter and family of LiiporU l , lout week, Hoford & Dcm nger, cigar mauu fncturers of Nordmont, make first cla-s cigars and find ready sale for them. They are compelled to work nights to fill orders. When you want a good smoke call for a Nord mont cigar. The directors of the First National ami the Citizens National banks of Towanda, have decided to keep their doors open on Saturday afternoons hereafter, regardless of the half holi day law, which permits the closing of bankH every Saturday afternoon during the year. The Republicans of the county should patronize their party paper. What good is the Independent paper to you when you como up for oflice ? Every Republican in the county should urge and do for the success of his party organ. We are I rue to you, why not return the compliment? Hunting Party. Congressman-elect ''Farmer" Kulp Congressman-elect John Lelsering, of the Twelfth district, Dr. Bickle, of the Ashland hospital, and Dr. Motellus, of Mt. Carmel, passed through Sunbury Tuesday on their way to Port Trevorton for a few days' hunt. A bet of-SI 00 to a cent was made between Iwo citizens of Binghamton, N. Y.,that Morton would defeat Hill with a proviso that for every vote Morton received in excess of Hill the Pemocrat should pay one cent to the Republican. As Morton's plu rality is now over 150,000, the Dem ocrat stands to loose over $1,500. The winner insists on being paid. The Assessors of the several pre cincts of the county will meet in session with the County Commis sioners nt their odico in Laporte on Monday next. The meeting will be of a business nature, relative to the resolutions recently adopted by the Board of Commissioners. A copy of the resolutions can lie found in this issue of the Repdbmcan. A number of our people attend, ed the shooting match at Itiugdale, on Saturday, and of tho twenty-four turkeys disposed of, twelve were won by parties in Laporte. Sherifl Mahaffey won 5, F. W. Gallagher 3, F. M. Crosslcy and the editor 2. Charley Lauer won a 3 pound rooster. Pretty good weight for a Democratic rooster just at tlr.s season of the year. Moonshine, the horse recently owned by Father Enright but now the property of Mr. Win. Kennedy, of our city, will be a prominent figure on the race-track next season. He will he handled by Mr. Zaner who re cently drove him three straight heats in 2:32, 2:28 and 2:36 at Bloomsburg. The animal is in excellent form and gives promise of groat speed. La porte now boasts of the fastest horse in the county. Should the Judicial contest goon and everything points that way, our County Commissioners will be obliged to issue more bonds to pay off the cost of the contest. We have it from good authority that a contest will cost the taxpayers of our county at least fifteen thousand dollars. The Commissioners at a recent date issued county bonds to the amount of thirty-three thousand dollars, add fifteen thousand to this and we have a debt of forty-eight thousand dollars. The farmers will find this a heavy burden, as tiny pay a largo portion of the tax. A WOIUIIU Candidate. Mrs. Sarah Ulrich Kellcy has in terviewed nearly all of Wayne coun tie's candidates for congress and they have graciously resigned in her favor. The statesvroman's declara tion is as foliows : "With malice toward none and charity toward all, I hereby pledge myself to work for the interests of all industries and beneficiary institutions, and other best interests of the people of my district, and a just appropriation fund for the proposed hospital in cise I receive the nomination and election to fill out the unexpired terra of the late Hon. Myron B. Wright, of the fifteenlh district." The people of Athens want the county seat of Bradford changed from Towanda to their beautiful town. They olfer everything if the people will vote it there. A new courthouse will be erected at the expense of the people of Athens, and they will furnish the men to fill the offices, too. This is a generous offer on the part of the up the river tax payers, but notwithstanding this the people of Towanda wont listen to the cry of their neighbors and bay the county seat must remain in To wanda. It is characteristic of the Towanda people to come out on top, and we euess this will be no excep tion to the rule. New holiday goods are being re ceived by our merchant#. T. J.

All are cordially invited. Hons: To Mr. and Mrs. H B. Karns, of Philadelphia, on Nov. 27, ii daughter. Mother nnd baby are as well as could be expected. The gestures and speaking efforts of a young lawyer in court may be like the hands of a watch. Tliey have nothing to do with the case. Mr. Hitter, telegraph operator, in the employ of the Penn. 11. R., at liarrisburg, is spending Thanksgiv ing with his brother, W. B. Bitter, of this place. The now Catholic church bell has been heard at Ringdale and at Her nice. Its tone is sweet and at the same time far-reaching. McShane <fe Co., of Baltimore, manufactured it. Not long ago Mrs. M. J. Lull was taken to Jefferson Hospital in Phila delphia for treatment, and word was received from there this week to the effect that no permanent relief could lie given in her case.—-Tunkhannock Rep. Bob Fitziniraons, the pugilist, who is matched to light Corbet, struck his sparring partner, Con. Hioi'dan, a blow on the chin while sparring on the stage of the Syracuse N. Y Opera House on Friday night Nov. lGth, from the effect of which llior dan died. It was an accidental blow. Fitzimmons was arrested, but is now out on bail. For mi Act to Vote oa Removing the County Neat to Athens. The meeting of the board of trade last night was quite largely attend ed and the proceedings developed tho fact that tiio outside world knows that we have a board of trade, as six applications from manufacturing establishments were presented asking for information touching locating here. Among the representative citizens present were Thos. Buchanan, Chas. Kellogg, M. I'. Murray, F. K. Harris A. C. Robertson and others. A res olution was unanimously adopted directing the secretary to advertise ttiat an application will be made to tho legislature for an act allowing the people of this county to vote on the question of moving tho county seat to Athens. Thero is no doubt such a vole would result iu favor of the change, as Athens stands ready to put up the necessary buildings without expense to tho county.— Athens News. At a meeting of the County Com missioners of Sullivan county, held ut Laporte on the 27th day of Nov., 1894, the follow Preamble, or llcso lution was adopted : Whereas, under the laws ot the State of Pennsylvania, the Assessors of different Townships, Boroughs, Wards, etc., arc required to use their ul most diligence to discover and ascertain all the property, real and personal within their jurisdiction and to lake an accurate account of the same, and honestly, to the best of their judgment assess and value every separate lot, piece or parcel of land, with the improvements there on, and all personal property made taxable by the laws of the Common wealth, at the rate or prico the same would sell for if singly, and separate ly sold at a bona Jtde sale after full public notice! the assessor being sworn to carry out the letter and in tent of the law when performing his duty ;and Whereas, in this county it is evi dent that the law has been utterly disregarded in the matter of the val uation of property of all kinds, sub ject to taxation ; the assessed value not being greater than one-fifth ol the real, or bona Jide value of sueh property ; and Whereas an increase in the valua tion throughout the count}', on prop erty of* all kinds, whatsoever, will not in any way increase the burden of taxation, as the number of mills can be reduced and regulated so as to meet the wants of the county and the respective townships and boro ughs. Therefore, be it HKSOI.VKD : That at this Tri-ennial As sessment. the different Assessors through out th's county, shall carry out the letter of the law, under tl»oir oatlis, and assess a'l property, real and personal, ut its real or bona tide value, which means the prion for which it will sell, separately and singly after full public notices ; and be it further RESOLVED I That all occupations, posts of profits, etc., shall also be valued and in creased in the same proportion as the in crease will be in all real estate and personal properly taxations. RESOLVED : That special instructions he eiven to each Asncssor to UM their ut most diligence in ascertaining the number of dogs in their respective districts, as well as the judgments uud moneys at interest subject to State tax. The ayes and nays being taken on the adoption ol' the foregoing reso lution, Messrs. Farrell, Webster and Litzelmau voted aye j the nays were none. Signed. GABRIBT, LTTZKLXAN, JOHN. 11. FARKEIX, J. E. GAI.LAOEH, JOHN J. WEBSTER, Clerk. County Coin. Niate Mar A*M«ialla«i The lawyers over tlio Slato have started it movement for the organ i/.a. lion of a State bar nMocialion. A convention will ho held in Ilarris lntrg during the in uitli of January, which will be attended by many lending attorneys of the Stale. A committee from the Dauphin county bar to fix the date of Iho meeting and make the nccesanry arrange ments. One of (he pur poses of the association is to exert a healthy in fluence upon legislation by suggest iug useful laws, by assisting in the defeat of ill considered and dangerous measures, and by aiding to mould into better shape bills good In sub stance but bad in form. In 1892 Mr. Cleveland took evory opportunity when an occasion pre sented itself to howl about the "sur plus." It is true during all Repub lican administrations after paying off hundreds of millions of the public debt there was always a handsome surplus left. During Harrison's ad ministration over two hundred mil lion of the debt was canceled and a nice surplus turned over to his suc cessor, The democrats have lmd charge of the government in nil de partments since March 4th, 1893, and what have they done, where is that surplus ? Have they reduce the debt ? No, to the contrary they have increased it by an issue of one hun dred million dollars. Anil this in time of pcaee, too. Is it any wond er that the people rise up and de nounce such mismanagement of pub lic affairs. This Judicial district has awarded by their votes, fifty thousand dollars to Judge Sittser. Now the Judge is going to award the taxpayers of Sullivan count}' fifteen thousand dollars in the hole , by contesting the recent election. He reverses the good saying of ''return good for evil." However, a large number of people in Sullivan county do not believe that Mr. Sittser will give his consent to contest the election of Mr. Dunham. We sincerely hope that our people have formed a correct opinion of Judge Sittser and that the matter will be dropped. LATER. The petition to contest the elec tion of Hon. E. M. Dunham for Pres ident Judge, has been addressed to the proper ollicials at Harrtsburg. Secretary Harrlty has written parties in town that, Judges Rice of Luzerne, Archibald of Lackawanna, and Searle of Susquehanna will be com missioned to hear the cage. The let* ter also states that the hearing will take place in Laporte. The people of Wyoming county are complaining of the contest, because of the cost it will incur on the taxpayers. The taxpayers of the district have a right to complain. Jones pays the freight. TUe people of Sullivan county | should take a decided step to secure if possible one of tlio forest reserva" tinns which will bo purchased and maintained by the Slate, located in Sullivan county. We have many good arguments and they should win. The bill provides that the res ervation shall be 800 feet above the sea- We are 2,000, hence, 1,200 feet higher than the bill requests. Now if 800 feet above sea level is healthy 2,000 feet is doubly so. A home case of malaria or hay fever was never known in Sullivan county. People afflicted with those diseases, visit our county for their health and return to their homes entirely recov ered. In fact Sullivan count is healthy, in every sense of the word. Our county was established in 1847 and to this day in small hamlets of fifty souls or less, no cemetery is yet located. This is because we seldom die. There are thousnndG and thousands of acres of unbroken limbered land in our midst, through which hundreds of little tributaries to the larger streams flow gently down the valley. As the walor passes over the rocks and beautiful precipices it remarks, "health restor ed here." The bill will be brought before the Legislature this winter and we are quite sure that our Mem ber, Mr. Jennings will give it his hearty support. Should the bill pass, our people will expect Mr. Jennings to use much persuasion with the Forest Commission to locale one of the reservations here. Should Worth succeed in accomplishing this ho will have done more for the peo ple of Sullivan county than all the Members voted to Harrisburg in the past half century. An Allentown man found bis safe locked. He had forgotten the com bination. He lost four hours fooling with it. Then an idea struck him. He went home and told th<* servant girl that there were some letters in the safe from another woman, lie knew his wife was listening in the next room. In one hour she had the safe opened with a crowbar.
