Total $63,433.48 The Rep iblican News Item is the only live home newspaper publish ed in the county. There are larger sheets, with city printed outsides, foe-similes of a hundred other news papers, and filled up with clippings from old dailies. They are out of date. The News Item is full of fresh spicy news from nearly every village in the county. In politics it is not a hireling. It stands by the principles of the Republican party as anuncia ted in National, State and County Conventions. It believes in the great party which saved the nation from disruption, which has brought to the people unexampled prosper ity, and filled the National Coffers with gold and silver. We insist up on an economical administration of county affairs, and make it uncom fortable for those who are making money by running the county in debt. - To our subscribers we give a newspaper worth double the sub scription price, and no man who wants to keep posted in county af fairs can to do without it. The 15th annual reunion of the 58th Penn. Vet. Vol. was held at this place on Monday with thir teen members of the Regiment, no doubt but the disagreeable weather kept some of the old hoys away.

Williamsport was selected for the next place of meeting after which the meeting ad|ourned to meet at the camp-fire to be held in the Court House at 7:30 p. m. The court room was Well filled, there being about 500 people pres ent, and the evening was spent with music and addresses until a late hour, and a more enjoyable meeting we have never had. The town was beautifully deco rated. Free entertainment was provided by the patriotic people of Laporte; and everything was done to make our meeting one of pleas ure and we hope one of profit to all. Too much cannot l>e said in praise of the hospitality extended to us by these people. A more ex tended account of the camp-fire will be published in a later issue of this paper. JosT.

Chase moved that the Bor ough be requested to organize a Fire Co. at once. The motion)was passed unanimously. Meeting adjourned to meet at call of President. Bernice, Pa. Sept. 2(5, 1902 Editor '"News Item" I have read with much interest the article by B. G. W. in your is sue of 18th inst. Forestry is now, at the eleventh hour, receiving at tention from both State and Feder al government, and those who ask for aid will receive it. It is there fore a matter of great importance that the question be taken up by the press, and especially by the press of those sections of the State which are, or should be, most keen ly interested in the movement. Of course the matter must be kept be fore the public, the majority of whom have not the enterprise to inform themselves upon any sub ject which is not placed before them by the newsprpers, and this Sir, is just what you can do. If you can succeed in diverting one tenth of the energy which is now being poured into way-side polities, you will in a few years have enrich ed the country by a thrifty growth of young timber, and have led mens minds to take an interest in some thing worth doing.
