truth. The prevailing song now, is,
Tony done the ]>itehinjr, imd he couldn't pitch

l I •man done the ketching, l»ut lie couldn't
catch the hall.
—A very pleasant evening was
spent by a large number of our town
people at the chicken supper given
by Mr. John Finkle Friday evening
for benefit of Rev. Frieklund. It
was a delightful evening for an out
door feast and tables were likewise
spread on the lawn. The occasion
was a.social and financial success.
The campaign of slander has com
menced. Chairman Scouten says:
"Adam Baumonk, the Republican
nominee for county commissioner,
told Avery T. Mulnix, of Estella,
while making cider at his mill, that
when he ran before he withdrew Ids
name from the convention and re
ceived thirty dollars. It will be re
membered that he was a candidate
for that office three years ago. Now
if "Billy" Balir had been better a< -
(|uaintcd with Mr. Baumonk and
had known his wants better, he
might have made the nomination
for commissioner."
Mr. Baumonk needs no vindication
at otir hands. The honorable man
ner in which he withdrew three
years ago has earned for him the re
spect and good will of the licpuHi
eans of the county.
Brother Newell boastfully tells of
his prompt paying subscribers, but
admits in the same article that he
has an agent travelling around the
county dunning patrons, and that
his dunning agent has had to hire a
horse and buggy to get around. The
NKWS ITI-:M has not had to come to
that yet.
While there is ;i large number that
takes our journal and do not pay as
well as they should, there is still a
large number or the leading citizens
of the county who do, and we re
spectfully inform Newell that we
will not be obliged to "quit business
to-inorrow," because we have a big
leak in non-paying subscribers; nor
shall we invade the homes of good
citizens with a horse and buggy dun
ning agent, urgingagainst wishes.AVe
intend that this paper shall be wor
thy of the patriotic mission it has
outlined. It looks confidently fir
the hearty support of not a part,but
all of the Republicans of the county,
and it will be improved from time
to time in order to keep pace with
what the party as a whole try to
make it. The object of this paper
is in harmony with all that tends to
benefit the party and makes the gen
eral good of the party its highest aim.
As may lie seen by our pages, politi
cal news is combined with much
general reading of current interest
and home news. These features
commend the paper to general sup
port and thus lead people of all par
ties to read it, with profit to them
selves, politically and otherwise.
Mrs. T.J.lngham desires us to
say that in our notice of the social
held last week for the benefit of Rev.
K.R. I'owell,we gave too much cred
it to her,and failed to give sufiicent
credit to the Ooinmitt of Ladies who
originated the plan,and to the ladies
of the town generaly who so efficient
ly assisted in carrying it out. A1
though tin' "committee"have mod
estly with held their names from
publication,it is not improper to state
that they are mostly summer visitors
whose labors and liberality are fully
| appreciated by those who know
I them. The ready assistance of ladies
! from evry part of the town made the
| enterprise successful. The amount
i realized and paid to Rev. K. R.l'owell
j was tifty live dollars.
To My Friends.
Through the NKWS ITI-:M I desire
to acknowledge the receipt of
| the proceeds of the sociable of Aug.
; IKtli. Valuable as this gift is, and
heartily as 1 appreciate it, yet of far
greater value to nie is the spirit
of friendship that prompted it, and
wherever my futuse lot may be cast
I shall always carry with me pleas
ant recollections of the friendships
formed in l.aporte. Very sincerely,
E. It. Powell.
i OBITUARY.
Mini: In Washing, M.C. ,011 .Tune .'JDth
kls9'J. at the residence ot Mis sister, Mrs.
.lolm T. Brewster,John Henley <ireen in
the sixty lil'tli year. Ilis remains were
brouirlit to l.uporie on July .'M. and taken
to his late residence on Muuey street,
where tliev were |>erinitted to remain un
til] the tilth day of July, the day of iuterj
ment. On the day of interment a large
concourse ol friends assembled 111 the
home of the deceased,and followed the re
mains to St. Johns P.IS. Church where
the beautiful and impresuiv" services of
said church were conducted by the Hev
J. M- llaymau, ot Uermantown, l'a.
Alter the services had been concluded, an
opportunity to view the remains was given
the friends of deceased,and when all had
gazed for the last upon the lace of the de
parted, his remains were tenderly borne to
Mt. Ash Cemetery,and deposited with his
kindred dust. The deceased was the third
son of the late John S. and
(ireen,and was horn in Cherry Township,
Sullivan County, Pa., on the 10th day of
November 183a,at which time Cherry
Township and the surrounding country
was a dense wilderness, lie was descend
ed from two of the first families ol this
state. On the paternal side, he was a
great grand son of Col. Thomas Craig who
was with Washington at Yorktown, and
witnessed the surrender of Cornwallis, and
in alter years Col. Thomas Craig became
the first Judge of Northampton Co.,l'a.
On the maternal side lie was related to
President James K.Polk,and to John C.
Calhoun. His great grandmother,wife of
Col.Craig, was a sister of Benjamin Mavis,
one of the original purchasers from Will
iam Penn.and one ol the first settlers of
Philadelphia. Captain Craig atone time
owned nearly all the coal lands in Kastern
Pennsylvania, (the plot of which may be
seen at the residence of Mrs. John T.
Brewster). Captain James Craig, great
grandfather, and Captain John (ireen,
grandfather of deceased,were largely inter
esteil in the "French Spoliation Bill", but
their heirs,among whom was the deceased
never realized anything,owing to an Act
ol Congress which lived a limit to the
time of proving their claims. John S.
Green,father of the deceased, was a soldier
in the war of l.Sl2,atid his name appears
on the pension roll in the Pension Depart
ment of the I'.S. at Washington. At the
age of five years, deceased had the misfor
tune of loosing the sense of hearing,a mis
fortune from which he never recovered.
In IST'2 tiie deceased having signed a
bond as surety,and the amount of said
bond not being paid by theprinciplo.it fell
upon deceased to meet and pay the same
which involved him to such an extent that
he never recovered his former financial
standing. Notwithstanding his physical
infirmity.through the untiring etlbrts of
his parents,brothers and sisters lie had
ai|tiired au education which many might
envy.and his passion for book." was re
markable. It may be said of him that
he retained all that was useful ofwhat he
read. The deceased was a consistent
member ol the P. K.Church lor many years.
On September l'.tth 1808,he with other
members ol his family,awong whom was
his mother received the right ol confir
mation at the hands of 1 {t. liev. Bishop
Stephens.and in alter years he seemed to
be cheered and comforted bv the truths
taught in the church with which he had
connected himsell. He was conscious of
his approaceing end,and expressed an
earnest desire to visit his "Mountain
home" ere his Creator should say unto
him"Come uuto me and I will give you
rest". Being strongly attached to I.aportc
and its citizens,he had ever cherished the
desire to end his days there, but it bad
been decreed otherwise. His death was
painless.and he leaves two brothers and
three sisters to mourn his loss. His father
mother, two sisters and a brother had
"passed througe the valley" helore him
and no doubt ere his spirit took its (light
lie could have truthfully said:
"Over tlir river tliev beckon tu me,
Loved who've passed to the farther side:
t he gleam of their snowy robes I isee,
I'.ut their voices are lost in the dashing tide."
Nevermore shall the troubles and trials
ol'this lite be his. Never again shall
there be a pairing from those lie held
near and dear. Never again shall nlllict
ion visit him:he has gone to enjoy the ri
w"ird which awaits those who lead a con
sistent christian life,as did the deceased,
Houhtless on the other shore,he awaits
the coming of those near and dear ones
whom lie has left behind. I'ntil the
morning of the resurrection,when all shall
appear before the throne ol Jehovah,
where families and friends shall here
united untill then.we must say Farewell.
