—Scouten in an article over his

J jet him be called Gentleman John.
—We are informed that Nelson
Cox our candidate for Sheriff made
an excellent impression on people
he met at the fair. He is receiving
support from men of both parties
and is sure to be elected.
—Gentleman John calls the NK.WS
I TKM "an insignificant lying sheet."
Since the editor of the Herald has
been convicted by two juries of
malicious libel his tongue is 110
slander.
—The post office department has
issued a special notice to all post
masters announcing that the sale of
postage stamps of the Pan American
issue will be discontinued at the
close of the exposition. On Novem
ber 1 all Pan American stamps 011
hand at every post office will be
sent by registered mail, for credit to
the department. Pan American
Stamps in the hands of the public
will continue to he good for postage
indefinitely.
Won't Gentleman John kind
ly tell us why his man for associate
judge was better qualified than Mr.
lthoey or Mr. Lit/.clman, or why he
dropped both Craft and McCarty
rather than let lthoey make the 110111
ination? Why?
—Nelson Cox, the popular rmdi
date for sheriff, conies from the good
old stock of Pennsylvania Germans.
He is a man of intellect and intelli
gence which is easily seen by a very
few minutes conversation with him.
He was raised under the best of in
fluence, his father being a minister
of the gospel, a calling which one of
his brothers now persues. He was,
unfortunately, one of the miners who
was compelled to lay down his tools
at IJernice, early last spring, and
since then has been endeavoring to
make an honorable livihood. He
justly merits your vote.
—James C. Dcininger the Repub
lican candidate for Prothonotary is
a clean, honest, straight forward
man. To know him is to like him.
11c has many friends in both parties
who will testify as to his good qual
ities. He was not born in Sullivan
county is true, but neither wasThos.
E. Kennedy. l)cin\igcr has never
voted in any county |>ut Sullivan,
and was horn in the yte of Penn
sylvania. \
Hotel Eagles Mere's night watch
man, A. C. Jenkins, was agreeably
surprised one night on the resump
tion of his duties at that popular ho
tel, a shor' 'me ago, to find himself
the recipient of a valuable present
from its guests, it being a high grade
bicycle. Prominent among the do
nators were J. B. Breed, of Califor
nia, 11. (). Welch, the well known
railroad man, Mrs. Tryon and others.
Mr. Jenkins hopes to make practical
use of the gift as scon as he has ex
orcised with it sufficiently to get it
under his control.
—Boss Scoutcn labored hard in his
last issue trying to explain why lie
refused to have the American ll.ig
float from his office building in honor
ing the memory of our late Pre bi
llon! McKinley. He did not deny
the facts as stated ill one of our re
cent issues, but, as a matter of cour-e
called the News Item an "insignifi
cant lying sheet," a "defunct gang
organ," etc., etc. Such assertions
are simply in keeping with the dis
position of hauling down our toun
try's flag, both being a mark of low
civilaziticn or a bedlamite, and only
shows an inability to deal with the
questions at issue with seriousness,
sobriety anil a regard for existing
facts. His effort to explain his con
duct in ordering the flag not
togo up on his building is regarded
by patriots as an excuse without
sense or reason, and Ncouten still
finds himself up against a task not
easy to accomplish. And what an
incalculable public misfortune it
would lie if it were not so ?
—"lt is said Editor Wing has re
cently promised to vote for Tommy
Kennedy this fall. This leaves Mr.
Wing solid for the public printing,
regardless of the result of the elec
tion, for we presume he has like
wise pledged his support to Mr.
1 )ei ni tiger.'' —Scou ten's 1 lera Id.
It is not clear to us why Mr.
Scoutcn is trying to run down Thos.
E. Kennedy, calling him "Tommy"
and insinuating that he has made
us "solid for the public printing,"
in consideration of our "secret prom
ise" to him. We will be more liber
al to the Democratic candidate than
Scouten is, and say that Mr. Ken
nedy is too much of a man to make
a proposal of that kind.
Now "Gentleman John" we ad
vise you to quit such foolish lying
and act in good faith to the candi
dates vol' are pretending to support.
Hillsgrove. j
James C. Deininger was pleasant
ly entertained at this place, Saturday
last. Mr. Deininger's reputation is
not stained by the mud hurled by
the Dushorc Herald.
There is quite a small pox scare
in Hillsgrove, but we can assure any
Republican voters who wish to come
home for election, that there is no
danger.
Dan and Miss Grafius returned
Monday from Sunbury. Dan says
lie gained twenty pounds during his
vacation.
(ieo. S. Speaker of Lebonan Busi
ness College, was called home by
the serious illness of his grand
mother.
M. Grant Sheely of the Lake Side
Sanitarium of Cleveland, Ohio, is
visiting his mother at this place.

FKKH L. SHAFKER,
G. W. GMDKWKM. and Family.
"It is with much delight we re
view the decayed ruins of the old
machine. Mr. Vincent the best
man among them has withdrawn;
the editor of the party organ is up a
tree; their party assassin for Associ
ate Judge, and James Deininger of
Ilughesville for Prothonotary."—
Scouten's Herald.
In the Herald of September 11,
Keouten said, "Reeser was picked up
by the bosses and pushed through
the machine (o gratify their
own personal desire. That is what
the wild waves are saying; that
Hilly Lawrence and I)r. Christian
after having secured all the offices
within their reach, hovered around
John 1). Reeser, who has 110 know
ledge whatever of legal affairs, hav
ing spent his life selling dry goods
and groceries at the big store and
pictured in charming colors to that
avidious merchant a political path
way from which they evidently agre
ed to remove all obstructions. That is
what we have been saying; that the
idea of running for associate judge
never entered Mr. Reeser's head
until Hilly and the Doctor breathed
in his face and gave him new light."
Now "Gentleman John" which
horn of the dilemma will you take?
Is the "old machine in decayed
ruins," ami the "assassin of the par
ty tor associate judge," or is it a
fact that Billy and the Doctor are
still breathing the breath of life?
"We are ready to wager a snug
little sum that John D. Reeser did
not vote for Dr. Christian last fall,
but John is so still and sly that we
seriously doubt if the Doctor knows
it."—Scouten's Herald.
Well, Mr. Chairman is this serious
doubt worrying you very much ? It
don't seem to worry Mr. Reeser's
friends. Kven those terrible ma
chine men, "Hilly" and the Doctor,
don't seem to worry. Furthermore,
in the same article it said, "Mr.
Reeser has for several years conspir
ed the political death of Mr. Vin
cent." Well, Mr. Chairman, with
whom ditl he conspire? Was it
with "Hilly" and the Doctor? If
Vincent is politically dead, he is
rather a lively corpse. He was
shaking hands with friends at the
fair, and we don't believe he did
Mr. Reeser any harm.
Seriously, these rattle brained ar T
tides in the Herald seive no other
purpose than to bring contempt 011
the writer.
Scouten's Herald says, "Poor
Newell, he seems almost distracted
in his effort to get his "stinger" in.
For several days he has loitered
about the streets endeavoring to give
a false color to an occuranee of little
consequence."
The occurence of little conse
quence is that Scouten would not
permit the end of a rope, which
sustained a Cnited States Hag drap
ed in mourning for the death of
President McKinley, to be attached
to his building, in order that it
might hang across the street in 1 in
shore. The editor of the Review
and the editor of the Gazette desired
to join their offices in a beet ining
expression of patriotic mourning,
but Strcby's landlord prevented it.
He now says,"he was afraid the
boys would abuse his property."
"Poor Newell !" JI is mistake was
in supposing that Scouten had a
drop or two of decency in his OKXT-
I.KMAXI.V blood.

JIUJUS HINES k SON Baltimore, Md., Dept. 909
—Two worthy young teachers <i
Sullivan county, desire that they IK
given space in the News Item ii
which to reply to the article puh
lished last week signed liy Rev. S
15. Hidlack. As harmless com fab i
as good for the brain as any kind o
harmless exorcise is good for tin
muscles, we will give "the boys" ai
equal chance to air their views, then
being no chance to cause a breach in
their already established friendship.
We desire to express our thank>
for the interest taken in our school:
and for the excellent advice giver
concerning boy teachers. We think
the same thing applies also to hov
preachers, only they, they never
"build tires." Hut we will say n<
more of them, for Christ says "I,el
him who is sinless cast the first
stone." Hut we think the writer has
made an error in his statments as
boy teachers receiving s2~> a month
are scarce in Sullivan county. And
it appears that some of the boy
teachers got schools in preference to
those holding permanent certificates.
As to the taxpayers, "Seeing in be
lieving," so we invite them to pay
us a visit before passing judgment
on "poor management," and then it
is time to make greater demands ol
the school board.
It is necessary to start at the bot
tom of the ladder so in this way we
expect to get permanent certificates.
In conclusion we earnestly invite
the writer to call on us as he will be
sure to find a good tire, and he will
also see that we can do more than
"build tires."
