This community was greatly shocked last Tuesday morning to learn of the sudden death of Miss Mary Adaline Meylert. She had been undergoing treatment at a Philadelphia hospital for several months'and her relatives and friends hoped for the ultimate recovery of her health which had been precar ious for several years. The remains in charge of the un dertaker, reached Laporte Thursday noon and were taken to the resi dence of her brother, Split. F. W. Meylert. The funeral services were held Friday morning and were con ducted by her former pastor, Kev. E. it. Powell, and the body laid to rest in the family lot in Mountain Ash cemetery. Miss Meylert was born at Laporte, June 24, 185 U. Her entire life was passed here, except the time spent at Lewisburg, Pa., where she at tended school. She was well known and endeared to a large circle of friends. Her childhood, girlhood and womanhood formed a living example of a pure, blameless, sweet and true life. She was a person un usually gifted, had tine sensibilities and appreciation for only what was good and noble. She was a help to all who came under her influence; and her sunny nature, her unselfish ness of spirit 'and her high ideals, made it not alone a privilege but an inspiration to meet her. To those who knew her she will always live. Hireen he the turf ahove thee. Friend of my better ilays: None knew thee hut to love thee. None name thee but to praise!" Hecent Deaths in Sullivan County. Mr. Michael (Jallagber for many years a resident of Cherry township, near ltingdale, died at bis home Thursday afternoon, aged "•"> years. The deceased has been in feeble health for some time suffering with a complication of diseases. Mr. Gallagher was born in Ireland, and with his parents he came to Sullivan county when a child, and has resided here ever since. His many years of residence at Ltingdale made hint a large circle of acquaintances and was highly respected by all. He was a generous agreeable man always, of kind heart and honorable in bis dealings. When he grew to man hood he began to clear a farm near bis father's home and there tilled the soil for more than fifty years. He raised a family of four children who with his wife survive: Mrs. Philip Dormer, Mrs. A. Buschhaus en, Miss Ellen and James (Jallagber. The funeral service was held in the Catholic church at Dushore on Saturday and was largely attended by sorrowing friends. Mrs. Lydian Boston, one of the oldest residents of Nordmont, died at her home at 4 o'clock Saturday morning last . Deceased had been a severe sufferer of a stroke of paralysis for several days before death came to her relief. She was a daughter of Mr. Iliddelson and moved with her parents to Nord mont from Luzerne county when a very young girl. She lived to reach the ripe old age of 81 years, ;5 months and 10 days. Four child ren survive: Eli. Ilanford and D. C. Boston, and Mrs. Mina Gansel. Funeral service was held at the M. 15. church. Nordmont, Tuesday morning. interment in Cherry Grove cemetery. Miss Jane, a twelve year old daughter of K. C. Horn, of Nord mont, died Wednesday morning of last week.

Funeral service was held on Fri i day at Nordmont.

In terment made at Thrasher's cem etery. —The M. E. Sunday School was reorganized last week. M. H. Netf was unHiiimously re-elected super intendent, and Mr. Eddy Asst. superintendent. Teachers were elected by the various classes. The hour for the school has been changed to 2p. m. A tine supply of Sunday School journals, leaves, picture-les son cards, papers and charts have been received, and will be freely used in the study of the lessons. The public is cordially invited to par ticipate in these services. WERE MARRIED. Chas. R. Lauer and Mrs. liaura Waddell . are Wedded. At the home of the bride's mother in Dnshore, Wednesday morning of last week, by Rev. J. W. Klingler, j a happy ceremony was performed, uniting C'has. R. Latter and Mrs. Waddell (nee Laura Pomeroy.) At the conclusion of the ceremony the wedded couple were taken to Satterfleld where they boarded the morning train for a honey-moon trip to Philadelphia. As the stop was made at Laporte, friends joined them as far as Nordmont, with an abun dance of rice and old shoes which, on leaving the train they left strewn about the coach. On returning to Laporte Saturday the happy couple were given a reception at the home of Mrs. M. C. Lauer where about forty guests comprising members of the family were entertained. Re turning to Dushore Sunday they at once took their comfortable abode in the handsome residence of the bride. The News Item with their many friends extend congratulations. The desperation of the Herald to secure the public printing from the Prothonotary's office can be measur ed only by its gymnastic feats of logic in its frantic effort to get all in sight. Its literary efforts in this direction would be amusing were they not so insulting to both Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Lawrence. During the campaign the Herald wrongly accused its party candidate Mr.Kennedy of conniving with the Item for support or words to that effect, in consideration for which we "would get the printing it matters not which way the election goes." The Herald was crossing bridges before it reached them in the fear that it might not gobble all and a little more. Now, in its last issue, the Herald unjustly censures Mr. Lawrence for i placing with the News Item an or der for law blanks which was settled for last week by the Commissioners, The Herald is in fear that the supply will suffice for a year or more and abuses Mr. Lawrence for not leaving the office wholly destitute of blanks and everything else which is neces sary to have to transact business. Mr. Lawrence might have obliged the Herald at Mr. Kennedy's peril. < >n Mr. Lawrence's induction to office six years ago he found but few of the necessary blanks on hand, many kinds being needed at once and be ing new at the business did not know exactly what was required and for many weeks found it very annoying until distant printing houses could complete the supply. Up to the time of the News Item going in business Sullivan county had no printers able to produce these blanks that measured up to the standard and at a cost not exceeding what was being paid. We have met these requirments. In leaving the office well equipped Mr. Law rence shows a much more kindly spirit toward Mr. Kennedy than the Herald wishes to see. Never neg- , lecting the smallest opportunity for the exercise of sareawn, the Herald says that Mr. Lawrence "was not only slick, but discourteous and un fair." This but voices a sentiment that produces poultry to occupy the home roost. It is not only discourt eous and unfair but gross injustice to every tax payer to deceive offiers to pay for something they supposed they got,but didn't. It was through no fault of the Commissioners that the fall ballots cost #ls more at the Herald office than was effered by us. The Commissioners wanted a better grade of paper than used at the pre vious election, this the Herald evi dently promised them as it got the job. The Commissioners were jus tified in this course of ordering better paper. Hut they didn't get it. If they discovered the difference they must have been falsely delt with. There are cases where editors have been known to acquire patronage through the tactics of the bully. Merchants and officers alike have contributed patronage to avoid the impending roasts. Subscribers have been added to the list and criticism has been expressed in whispers through fear of editorial abuse. Rut the bully in the sanctum, as the bully elsewhere, has no permanent standing among intelligent men and < society. We hope to see the liberties j of our officers kept in a fair state of j preservation. The News Item will be last to trump up petty and I i groundless charges against them j j through greed and envy for pat j ronage. We only want to see justice i done, that's all.

Meylert with the thtit the selection of the present be left with him. This token of re spect and esteem on the part of the teachers was received by Supt. Becht who assured the teachers of the heartfelt appreciation with which the gift would be received by the retiring Superintendent, and that as soon its circumstances would permit they might expect a gratful acknowledgement. Supt. Hecht then thanked the teachers for their assistance and at tention, and declared the institute adjourned. Revival meetings will begin at the M.
