The suc cess of Mr. Kshinka for Associate Judfje means an honorable man to till that very important ofHce. lie was elected to lontest for this oOlce on in rit and qualification. Show your jjjood patriotism hy electing such men to office. Frank Farrell, the llepultliean ('audil ate foa County Treasurer is a clean, honest, straight forward man. To know him is to like him. lle has many friends in both parties, who will testify to his good, sound quali ties when election day arrives. For the office of County Treasurer, he is eminently qualified and if elected will do credit to the office. Sullivan County voters here have an oppur tunity to make an exceptional choice in casting their hallot for County Treasurer. Mr. Farrell is not only trustworthy and honest, but he is a man as well. The Republican ticket is well bal anced. The three well marked sec tions of the county are properly represented. For many reasons it is host that one commissioner should he in each section. The east has had two commissioners for the pa~-t three years, and the democrats have nom inated two in Cherry again. One of these mi st ni: elected and the other will be unless the people in the other sections of the county bestir them selves on the day of election. One candidate in Klkland will represent the west. All the people in Fox, Hillsgrove, Forks and Klkland well know that Frank McCarty will make a capital commissioner* and the people of Davidson,Laportc, Shrews bury and Faglesmere well know that lioyd I*. iiennett is one of those sound minded, clear headed, mag netic business men who always do what they have to do, well wherever you put them. Both of these men are men of in tegrity. Passes on the railroad and blandishments of corporation law yers will not»make them swerve from the duties they owe to the peo ple. We hope the voters of this county will arouse to the fact that the election of both McCarty and liennett is of the utmost importance to the farm owners and tax payers during the next three years. Whether the gross errors of the past, so apparent in the Commission ers office, have proceeded from cor ruption or ignorance the fact i-< the same. The corporation lands have escaped full valuation and farmers valuations have been raised ten per cent. The little that has been paid upon the county debt has come from the raised valuation on farms and village property. At every election the Democrats give us good promises but fail to perform. Year after year the bung ling with the assessments and the incoiiipctnt nianagnient ofthe public debt goes on. There is a chance now to do lietti r. Fleet McCarty and Bennett and a new era will come in the management of our county finances. Hughesville and Muney are in line to become metropolitan and shortly enjoy the benefits of trolley com munication, a company having been formed to build an electric road be tween the two towns. John (1. liar man, of Bloomsburg is president. On November 8, at Harrisburg, application will be made for a state charter, the company to be known as the Muney and Hughesville Elect ric Railway company. The plan is to run the line from near the Philadelphia and Reading station, in Muucy, traverse the main streets of the borough ami follow the public road to Hughesville, running the track the length of Main street in Hughesville. Friday, < )ctober 20th, is the day set apart by the State Department of Public Instructional Arbor Day, and the schools of the State are urged to observe the day by the planting of trees and by other exercises designed to stimulate an interest in the science and art of forestry. Since the estab lishment of Arbor Day more than thirty years ago, millions of trees have been planted within the borders of our land, and thousands of acres have been set apart for the purposes of forestry. I'he observance of Ar bor Day has extended not merely to every State of the Cnion, but to France, Japan and other countries h*»youd the sea.

He does not explain why 'he did not goto the polls and vote that year. We do not wish to be harsh, but we must say, such con duct looks bad, Mr. Streeby; it looks bad. One more question neighbor Streeby, Did you sign the |>e tetion to contest the election of Judge Dunham, which iost the district many thousands of dollars? If yea, state it you was one of the persons who joined in the oath attached to that petition? Let us hear from you in the next issue of your newspaper. Mr. M. C. Mercer of Towanda, died on Tuesday in the Tilth year of liisage. He was one of the promot ers of the State Line A- Sullivan rail road, and iu his younger days poss essed a large fortune. Mr. Mercer was well known in this county, hav ing lived iu Klkland township for many years. He had a genial dis position, and a pleasant word and smile for all whom lie met, which made him a delightful companion in his old age. The funeral will be held today (Thursday). There has been some inisaprehen sion concerning the trespass law which was recently enacted and many believe that one-half of the fine goes to the prosecutor, and that the fine is fixed at ten dollars or ten days. The law says the fine shall not exceed ten dollars, hence a justice of the peace could place the fine af any amount under that sum which he thought equitable iu consideration of the facts in the case. Thus if a man simply went through another man's woods and did no damage the justice of the peace might conclude the offense was so slight that the nominal fine of a few cents would be just right. On the other hand if the trespasser tori down a fence, cut down a chestnut tree, picked berries, or tramped down grass or growing crops it would seem that the offense might most equitable be treated by the im posing of a fine of five or ten dollars which would have a tendency to re mind the trespasser that he should respect the rights of his fellow man. In regard to the disposition ofthe line the law states that the entire fine shall be paid into the treasury of the school board of the township in which the trespass occurs. The costs in case of conviction shall be placed on the defendant. The intention of the law does not appear to be so much to restrain hunters—the regu lar fish and game law does that—but rather to cover more thoroughly that class of tresspassers who go into meadows to pick berries and enter woodland and cut down trees to ob tain nuts.
