Miss Anna Bonci of Ithaca, spent a few days this week with friends at this place. How about Indian summer? it is to be hoped the weather man will not deprive us of it.

A very desirable dwelling house on Mokoma Heights is offered for rent at low price. Inquire of C. 11. I Funston, Laporte. Mr. and Mrs. John Kane of Buff- ■ alo, who has been visiting Sheriff Cott's family the past week, have gone to Shunk for a short so-journ. 1 Miss Harriet E. Grimm left here j on Sunday evening for Barnsboro, | Pa., where she has been employed ! to teach in one of the borough's j schools. Some time ago the Postofttce Club scribe penned a verse on one "Silas" j and the way it was received is best understood by the fact that nothing has been hear of the scribe since responding to an invitation by Silas j to leave one of the Club's meetings. | Messrs. Percy Bay and Henry Warburton while in town attending examination Tuesday made a call [ at the News Item office. Theyoung ' men show that they have an eye for general observation and take an interest in such tiling of life that make good and us» citizens. It. A. Conklin was in William sport the early part of this week being a witness in the trial of France Geiger's son who was charged with assault and battery on a playmate.

Commencing on September 15th a free rural delivery mail route will be established at Forksville, taking in Eastern Elkland township and the Millview district of Forks town ship. Another route is contemplat ed which would also start from Forksville, thence down the Loyal Sock creek to Elk creek, thence tt> i Lincoln Falls taking in the Eastern ' portion ot Fox township and there- j maining portion of Elkland, thus! abandoning the Estella and Mill-! view postoffices. The President has injected a new quantum of strenuousness in the Postofflce investigation. Postmaster General Payne departed so seriously ! from President Rosevelt's policy in ' dismissing Postmistress Hulda Todd,. that it is freely predicted there will soon be a vacancy in the cabinet. It is a pity, but it is none the less true, that there is no administration without its portion of "graft" and scandal, but never was an adminis tration which laid the axe to the j root of its scandals with the energy j displayed by President Roosevelt, j C. R. Funston has a superior grade of shell oysters for sale. By a recent ruling of the Postofflce Department each rural mail carrier in the United States will be required to take a careful census of his route and copy the names in a book pro vided for the purpose. Slips are prepared for the carriers and these will be left with the families to be filled out, each slip to contain the names of all parties receiving mail at the house, even to the help. In this manner the name of everyone along the routes will be before the postmaster and he will have no trouble in forwarding mail. Mar ried ladies will be designated by their own names instead of those of their husband. The Forksville Fair Ground Res taurant will be conducted this season in up-to-date manner. Warm meals at all hours can be bad without leav ing the grounds. C. B. WHKATLEV, Prop. National Secretary's neport. Natiorml Orange Secretary C. M.
