On the 13th day of April A. D.

der to shoulder in the battle for
local independence, Lycoming was
declared by the Legislature of Penn
sylvania to be a separate and inde
pendent county. The scope of

ing and progressive county was then
a part of the territory of Lycoming.
Sullivan, is one of Lycoming's
fair daughters ot whom she feels
justly proud. Your interest and
ours arc both common an 1 mutual
Bound as we are by the ties of blood

and grand children be represented at
this family gathering and that not a
vacant chair be seen to mar the
pleasure of the festivities.
We are determined to rnnke this
Centennial Celebration a great suc
cess and desire and expect you to
share with us the credit and honor
of making it so. In the Military
and Civic parade, in the industrial
exhibits in the Antiquarian display
and in everything pertaining to the
success of this celebration, we confi

you a most hospitable reception and
pleasant stay among us. Cheap
railroad excursions will be secured
and ample hotel and boarding ac
commodations at reasonable rati s
furnished. Williamsport, the capi
tol of Lycoming, the Queen City of
the Keystone State and universally
conceded to be one of the most
beautiful and attractive cities in the
Union, promises to leave nothing
undone that will make your sojourn
among us both pleasant and profita»
ble.
Earnestly hoping and believing
that in this Centennial Celebration,
the people of Sullivan county will
show that friendship and neighborly
spirit that has ever characterized
them in their intercourse with us in
the past, we are, Very truly yours

Death ol Rev. Nathan Callentler.
Ho died in Scranton, April 21st,
1895. His ancestry came to Amer
ica about 1700 and noted for their
patriotism during the Revolutionary
war. His grandfather was a member
of General Washington's staff. His
father's family were among the .list
settlers of Lackawanna Yalley, in
Blakcly township. When a younj;
man he made a profession of religion
and united with the Scott Valley
church of which he was pastor at the
time of hi& death.
Soon after making a profession of
religion he became very active in
christian work, and being a man of
remarkable persuasive force his in
fluence for good became a great
power for good through the church
and the membership at once recog
nized his fitness to enter the work
of the Uospel Minestry, and after
but short preparation he was ordain
ed by the Minestry connected with
the Abington Association. His first
pastorate was at New Milford Sus
quehanna county, commencing in
1847, where his labors were abund
antly blessed. lie received the ap
pointment as general missionary for
Sullivan county from the Baptist
State Convention in 1853, and came
upon the field the j'ear following;
residing at Laporte. At that time
there were two smalt Baptist chur
ches within the bounds of the coun
ty, known as the Loyaleock and
Cherry churches. Tbe Lojalsock
church which was constructed at
the forks o! the LoyalsocK in 1822,
having as its constituent members,
the Bird and Rogers families and
a small scattering membership ex
tending along the Loyalsock from I
Forksville to Barbers Mills with an
important station at Rogers woolen I
factory on Bear Creek. The Cherry,
now Now Albany church, was also
divided in small groups, having
meeting places at Dushore, Norkonks
school house, Now Albany anil
Heaverly Settlement. These points
were reached by monthly visits, and
from the first Mr. Cullender's labors
were appreciated by the extended
communities visited by him and In
creased demands made for his labors.
During the first year of his labors the
Laporte church was constituted to
which there was very soon consider
able accessions made at Eagles Mere
and the church has since been known
as Laporte and Eagles Mere, having
iu addition to the appointments at
these villages one in lower Shrews
bury, known ns Rock Run. Over
this extended field ho faithfully
labored for the Master for ten years;
loved and admired by christian
families throughout the bounds of
our county, and living in the enjoy
ment of the respect and co-oppera--
tion of fellow laborers in the chris
tion ministry of other denominations.
At the first outbreak of the Rebel
lion he was among the first to recog
nize the importance of speedy action
and unhesitatingly at the first meet
ing called at Laporte for urging en
listments accepted an appointment
to visit other parts of the county to
aid in the work.
In his ministerial labors he over
taxed his strength and while living
>n the field it was hard for liim to
consent to give up any part of it and
with hope tliat another man with
greater physical endurance would
take his place lie resigned his ap
pointment in 1804 and first accepted
the pastorship of the church which
he had left on coming to this county
at New Milford. In 18S7 he was
called 10 his home church iri Scott
Valley where with but a brief inter
uption he remained until his death
lie was twice married his first
wife the daughter of Rev. Tower of
Lenoxville and sister of .Rev. C. M.
Tower, who may he remembered by
our old citizens as assisting Mr.
Callender when a student at Lewis
burg. In IS4B he maried Miss
Harriet Darrow and to them wore
born three sons and one (laughter,
Augustus, .Jessie, Stephen and Lucy
all of whom are well remembered by
the early residents of Laporte.
To them and his afflicted widow
their many friends at Laporte ex
tend their heart felt sympathy.

go home to die. Her husband
though fearing the result, kindly
complied with her wishes and took
her to her fathers as comfortable as
lie could, loaving nothing undone
that a kind husband could do for a
wife. Anna was highly respected by
all her old neighbors and friends
here, and there was a very large
delegation of her neighbors from
Hillsgrove, attending her funeral,
and the best people of that place
How many times it was remarked
yesterday: "What a contrast, when
she lived here, a rosy cheeked girl;
now, nothing but a skeleton of con
sumption. Peace to her ashes.

OBSERVER.
Farmers aid Horsemen,
A revival iu the price of heavy
draft horses has already commenced.
The great falling off in the breeding
which has taken place during the
past two years is going to make
them scarce and in active demand
by the time that business shall have
fully recovered from the late depres
sion. In view of these facts it is
therefore a good time to commence
the breeding of the above mentioned
class of liorses.
The undersigned will have on ex
hibition three stallions whose sup
periors have never been seen in this
locality and whose pedigrees and
descriptions are annexed.

Aiotice,
Taxes are assessed by the county
and districts and must be collected.
Some collectors are lenient others
are unmerciful iu their work. We
think we should bo quoted in the
former class, but there is a time for
all things and we are of the opinion
that the time is ripe for those of
our Davidson twp. individuals who
have not paid their taxes for 1894
to call and settle the samo. To till -
end we will give our delinquent
Iriends until the Ist day of June,
1895. J AMI S MOHAN, Collector.
