Wieland and family of Nord mont, were Laporte visitors on Sat urday. J. A. Morgan of Hillsgrove, was transacting business at the county seat the early part of this week. The Laporte township auditors and school directors met in joint session at the courthouse Monday and adjusted their annual accounts. Mrs. M. Mapes and daughter El len, and grand daughter left Thurs day for a two weeks visit at Wyalu sing. Mrs. Alex Hess and Mrs. C. Steck of Sonestown, were Laporte visitors on Tuesday. The marriage of Mr. James M. Stroiil ol Aquashieolo, to Miss Mar ion H. Wrede of Laporte, will occur at this place, on June Ift. 11. J. Yothers of Chemung Pa., was a business man in Laporte last week. Mr. Yothers is operating a lath mill for Beardsley & Innis, he having sold his wood turning mill located at Whcelerville. Mrs. E. M. Dunham gave a musi- i cale on Thursday which was largely participated in by the Musicale soci ety of Towanda. The guests, forty- : four in number, were served with a sumptuous turkey dinner at the La porte Hotel. It will cost about one dollar to give the home farm a name of its own and have a batch of note heads and envelopes printed with the name of the farm and its owner on them. 1 It is a question if 81 can bo spent to 1 better advantage. 31. E. Wilcox of Campbellsville, was a business man at the county seat on Wednesday. He is one of the logical applicants for mail car rier on the rural delivery route to be established at Forksville. Max Frankle was in Williamsport the early part of the week taking civil service examination for posi tion as emigrant inspector. He was the only competitor being examined and may soon flnd himself drawing ' a nice salary from Uncle Sam. There is some talk of connecting ' Towanda with the natural gas dis tricts of Potter county, to supply that town with light, heat nnd fuel. In the towns where this gas is used j the street lights are burned night and day, as the cost of extinguishing and re-lighting each day would ex ceed the cost of allowing them to burn constantly. The Susquehanna and New York , It. 11. Co. has honored a Towanda man by naming one of their stations after him. The first station beyond , Laquin, about midway between La quin and Cold Spring is Whalen. Passenger trains stop on signal, but ' two freight trains make regular stops there. The citizens of Muncy are greatly exercised over the changing of the terminus of the Williamsport and North Branch railroad from Halls to that town. Our advise to them is not to lose too much sleep over the matter, as such a thing is very re mote, as the railroad company has nothing to gain in such a move ex cept a bill of expense incurred in making the new route.—Hughes ville Mail. The Commissioners sale of seated and unseated lands was held at their office on Tuesday, and well attended by land speculators. A Mr. Ely of Philadelphia, Dr. Essick of Picture Rocks, Atty. R. J. Thomson of Du shoreand J. P. Miller of Muncy Valley, were among the interested parties. The sale netted $214.00 for the county. Frank McMahon of Bernice, met with a serious accident in the Ber nice mines on Tuesday. Mr. Mc- Mahon runs the electric car that draws the mining cars in the mines and was caught in a collision break ing a leg above the knee. It was a bad fracture and he was taken to the Sayre Hospital on the evening train. Prof. <). L. Davis of Frunklindale, was in town Wednesday shaking hands with old time friends. He called at the Prothonotury's office and pocketed a marriage license be fore leaving for Sonestown, where be will wed an estimable young lady, Miss Anna Rea, of that place, to-clay, sis previously announced. The happy pair will leave immedi ately after the wedding for their fu ture home in Franklindale where Mr. Davis engages in school work and farming. The best wishes for a happy future from a multitude of friends follow them to their new home. —— Jim Dumps a little girl possessed m Whom loss of appetite distressed.

HOG AN, J V" \\ I In " How to Feed Children." If |T^^ w rA\J To the Honorable, the members of the Town Council of the Borough of Laporte, Pennsylvania: The petition of the undersigned citizens and tax-payers of said Boro. respectfully represents: That the practice of permitting cattle to run at large upon the streets and public highways within the limits of the Borough has become a nuisance that should be abated by action of the Borough authorities. As a result of tliis practice, unnecessary fences are required to be built, side walks are broken up, pavements kept in filthy condition and yards and gardens are constantly in danger of being broken into, trampled upon and destroyed. We therefore petition your Honor able body to enact an ordinance pro hibiting the running at large of horses, cattle, sheep and swine with in the limits of said Borough and prescribing proper penalties for the violation of the same: The above petition was circulated previous to the meeting of town council Tuesday evening of this week lor the purpose of bringing to the attention of that august body the de sires of the tax payers who have some pride in the appearance of the town and also a habit of preserving cleanliness about their surrounding and a spark of humane sense to re spect the modesty of feminine nature. There were just a few who looked with disfavor on this petition. Some prefered not to meddle with old time custom; others had politics on the brain. Opposers admit that it is just a little annoying to step out upon the side walk after twilight and take frequent foot baths in manure which by daily application preserves a freshness that is only parallel to those who uphold it in spite of the protests made against it. They con tend that it would not be so bad if property owners would be more watchful and keep their walks shov eled off. If it is not convenient to always carry a shovel, you can use your hands to remove it, is about the style of arguments they use. The petition was taken to the council chambers but the news of a petition in circulation may not have caused absentees, however, there were but three councilmen present. It was decided to hold another meet ing at some other time and place; we did not learn where or when. The above petition will be turther circulated and again published with the names of the signers and also those who favor the filth upon our streets and whose judgement directs the injustice of compelling A. to stand the expenses of keeping B's cattle. It is a pitty that such a large, modern and well conducted house as the Laporte Hotel and other invit ing hostilerys of town, located as they are on a plateau, high, cool and still, over 2000 feet above sea level, where the eye is ever met with a glorious panorama of mountains, woods and streams, should be made to suffer a lack of business in point of summer guests, because B. must have free pasture for his cattle and thus make a barnyard of the town. Why should B. be given the privi lege of monopolize all the resources of the town when A. pays takes on the bulk of the real estate?

When the rough riders charged up the hill at San Juan, they threw away their knapsacks, their canteens and everything which would impede their progress and gave all their strength to the attack. In the war which we as farmers are waging is there nothing we ought to throw away? Have we been weighed down by debts acquired through the credit system? Let's dis card the credit system. Have we fool ishly tried "to paddle our own canoe" without asking or granting aid? Let's get rid of that foolish notion and act with others through the grange, re membering that "In union there 1B strength."—George A. Fuller. What is a grange?
