Colonel Hotaler, special pension) examiner located at Williamsport,! was at Laport> Tuesday making in quiries about this town with a view | of selecting a-suitable summering place for himself and a party of friends during the coming season. While a guest at Eagles Mere last summer, the Colonel happened to visit Laporte and was much impress ed with the natural beauty and the invigorating air of the county seat which he thought surpassed that of Ea les Mere. Being a government oflicial lie called at the post ofliceand made inquiries of the post master concerning the nature of the walks and drives around Laporte, and was horrified to learn that cattle, horses and swine were allowed to roam the streets and that the pretty little park located in the center of the town, was a veritable pasture field during the summer months; and also was shocked on being told of the sights that would greet the eyes of the summer visitor if the wished to take a stroll along the highways leading from Laporte. Colonel Hotaler complimented the local paper for its stand against the tilth which lit ter our streets and which gives the town such a vulnerable reputation, lie was surprised to learn that those who would be most benefited by improving the town, were opposed to the move made for clean streets. Mr. Hotaler said that if it were not for this one objection lie could bring fifty guests to Laporte the coming season and was sure that all would be delighted with nature's beau ty at this point, many of whom i would return and bring friends each I succeeding year, if the inhabitants j would only do their share as nature did in beautifying the town.

Life Insurance A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAYE A POLICY WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE BECAUSE —Incontestable from the date of issue. Because —absolutely without restrictions. Because —non forfeitable from date of issue. Be cause—cash loans are provided after second year, on demand at 5 per cent interest without fee or other charge. Because—if death does not occur an accumulative policy is a highly profi table investment for the policy-holder who lives. Policies now maturing to living policy-holders prove this. In fact NEW YORK LIFE policies do not leak. Health and Accident Insurance also written. A postal card will bring an agent to yon, or a person -1 interview can be had at the office Saturdays, regular office day. GEO. BROWN, Agent. LOPEZ, PA. I Office in Dr. Chrictian Bl'd.
