William Meylert, | The death of William Meylert Esq. of Laporte, on Sunday evening, May 14, 18911, removes from our midst one of the early settlers of Sullivan county and one«f its'most useful and respected citizens. Since the organ ization of the county in 1847, he has been closely identified with its his tory and has been connected with almost every movement having for its object the welfare and advance ment of its interests. William Meylert was born in New Milford, Susquehanna county, Pa., January, 18, 1828. lie was the son of Seku Meylert and a brother of the late Michael Meylert. His boyhood days were spent in New Milford and Montrose, whither his parents re moved in 1831. llis education was obtained in the schools of these towns and at Lewisburg (now 1 Jut-k --nell) University. Shortly before the new county of Sullivan was detach ed from Lycoming, his father, who was an extensive dealer in real estate, together with William IS. Clymer became interested in the purchase of wild land in this portion of the state. As a result of their investments abouts thirty-three thousand acres of I land in the new county came into j their possession. In IS 111 Seku Mey j lert died and the charge of these real I estate interests passed into the hands of his son, Michael Meylert, who was assisted in the work Of lo cating and surveying by his brother, William. From that time to the date of his death Mr. Meylert's life was spent in Sullivan county. He assisted in locating and laying out the town of Laporte and has always taken an active interest in the wel fare and prosperity of both the town and county. When a young man he united i with the Baptist church and was a j faithful and earnest member. Much " r, >js lifehasbeen devoted toreligious lie assisted in the organization of tlio La port*'and Katies More Uap tist church and was a constituent monihcr. 110 was deeply interested in Sabbath School work and for many years was superintendent of the schools at Laporte and Katies Mere. Cntil within the past few months, when failing health render ed it impossible, Sunday found him in his nccu-tomed place in the school, an earnest student of the sacred word, lie was instrumental in the organization of the Sullivan County Sahhath School Association and un til his hearing became impaired was an active worker in the society. 1 lis earnestness and zeal in every depart ment of religious work knew no abatement anil one of the last acts he performed was to make an appeal to the American Bible Society for a supply of books for neighboring Sabbath School. The ties and as sociations thus formed in church work and in other lines of Christian enterprise covering a period of over fifty years were strong and sacred and brought him great pleasure and comfort during the closing years of his life. While a firm adherent to the principles of his church he was broad and liberal in his religious views and co-operated with every Christian denomination insupporting and carrying forward its work. He welcomed every effort that had for its object the bettering of his fcllo.v men and contributed with a willing heart and a liberal hand to every Christian enterprise. In all these no tations he will be greatly missed but his life and work will be a lasting influence for good and au inspiration to those who follow. lii his business relations lie was upright and honorable. For many years he was associated with his brother in the development of real estate in and about Laporte and in this eonueetioii gave employment to a great many men, all of whom ever entertained for him the highest con fidence and respect. He supervised the erection of the tannery at La porte and for several years had charge of its operation. For some time he was interested in lumbering and about 1808 he engaged in the mercantile business which he con tinued for almost twenty years. For the past few years he has suffered from failing health and the loss of hearing. Much of his time has been spent in writing. lie took a great interest in local historical matters and wrote a history of Sullivan coun ty for the State Librarian, l>r. Win. 11. Kgle. His mental powers con tinued strong and active to the end. t'ntil bodily infirmities caused him to withdraw from active partic ipation in public affairs he was active in all his duties as a citizen. lie served his country with loyalty and fidelity and discharged faithfully < every civic obligation. The cause of education was especially dear to him. For twenty-two years ho served as a school director in Laporte and did much for education through out the county. For almost twenty years he held the ottlce of justice of the peace and his long service in this capacity is proof of the confidence and trust reposed in him by his fel low citizens. IFe was a useful citizen, a kind neighbor and a pure and up right man. A brother and two sisters survive j him while two sons and three daugh ters art; left to mourn the loss of an affectionate father. The eldest son, Howard W., resides in California, and the eldest daughter, Mrs. K. 8. Chase, at Eagles Mere. The other children are Co. Supt. Francis W., Miss Ada M.and Miss Fannie X., all of whom reside at Laporte. The funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. K. It. Powell, pastor of the Laporte Baptist church, and were largely attended by the neigh bors and friends of the deceased. The remains were laid to rest in the family lot in Mountain Ash ceme tery. The anti-monopolists of Texas have driven out the monopoly known as the Standard Oil Co., in order to give a monopoly of the oil business to the Corsicana organiza tion. They are a logical lot, these Pops. Not? Lopez Nuggets. Itev. C. W. McAllister spent a few days in Wilkesßarre the past week. Master Clay Reeser,of Mehoopany, was visitor at home of Mr.W.Potter.

Miss Grace Lawrence, teacher of the Primary tirade, spent Sunday with her parents in I^iporte. Kvery effort on the part of it pro- i gressive man is to meet a demand, j As a result there are many produc-1 tionsof rather a savory character. The best way to get rid of these is to ! show tlieni plainly that they do not ■ "till the bill.'' Shows are abundant, j <io«,d, moral shows are scarce. Why are the vulgar in the predominence? Because accasionally the vulgar is laore appreciated, judging from ap plause, than the pure. Such produc tions should be met with the hiss, or i the more formidable weapon a withholding of patronage.
