Mrs, E. V. Ingham of Eagles
Mere, spent Sunday with Laporte
friends.
Clms. R. Funston made a busi
ness trip to Shamokin and Phila
delphia the latter part of last week,
returning home on Tuesday,
L. R. Gumble was a lucky hunt
er on Tuesday. He brought home
about twenty pounds of squirrels
and pheasants.
Mrs. John Hassin is recovering
from a week's illness.

Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Mullen visit

The Union party is out of it. That
comes from trying to nominate both
democrats and Republicans to the
same offices. Water and oil will not
mix, neither will discordant elements
from two parties become a harmon
ious whole.
We were constrained for several
years to call Scouten, "Boss." Since
the last Democratic convention the
title seems to require an addition;
"Boodle Boss" is the more appro
priate appellation at present.
"Republicans have nothing to
offer." These were the words spok
en in the Gazette Ollice by an inde
pendent voter from Cherry township
last week."
The above is clipped from the
Sullivan Gazette. No doubt that
man had been looking around for a
bath, and went to the wrong door.
Let him go and ask E. G. Rogers
if he knows when he can get a bath,
or read Dixon's speech on the bath
bill.
We are conscious that we give too
much prominence to Scouten, but
his paper pours out falsehoods like
chaff from a fanning mill, and it is
our unpleasant duty to expose them.
Although it is a fact established
beyond question that the F. A. God
charlesNail Co. is not in the nail
trust or in any other trust. Scout
en's Herald continues to repeat the
lie.
It is well for Scouten that the days
of Ananias and Sapphira have past.
Which is the worse, for a man to
be persuaded to take the unanimous
nomination of a convention for the
Legislature, or for a man to be run
ning around the county begging for
delegates to nominate him? In one
case the office seeks the man, in the
other, the man seeks the office.
An aneester of Ulysses Bird was one
of the three pioneers in the west of
this county more than a hundred
years ago. His numerous decend
ants have been good citizens and
borne honorable names, but they
have not been office seekers or office
holders.
Ulysses Bird did not seek the nom
ination for Treasurer. lie was un
animously nominated by [the Repub
lican Convention without solicita
tion on his part.
