In an aggressive editorial laut week the Gazette savs:'"Sullivan county has become the rottenest county in the State in politics, just by the operation of this gang of cutthroat politicians. They are in politics for what they can get out of it. They are banded together like a band of thieves for the plun der they can get. The Gazette and Herald is in posession of the facts and can give them, if it sees 'it to do so. It can also give the names of the parties in the conspiracy and will give them to the public if it is deemed advisable." This is a serious charge against our county and its people. If it is not true the Gazette should retreat it: if it is true the Gazette must do something more than to make sweeping allegations. What is it that is rotten? Where is it? Who are the cutthroat politicians? In what respect do they resemble a board of thieves? The Gazette luis it is in possession of the facts; it now owes it to the public to make thcin known.

Mr. Editor, I am sure the follow ng items, though old, will still in terest many readers of the paper: On Sunday July Bth, the Rt. Rev. James H. Darlington, of the Diocese of llarrisburg, visited St. John's Episcopal ehureh, Laporte, and con firmed the following persons: Mrs. Perry, Miss Perry, Miss Hunter, Mrs. Potter, and Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Meylert. The Rev. 1). E. S. Perry who had charge of St. John's Episcopal church since last December, left for Ulossburg, Pa. where he will have charge of the Episcopal church of that town and also Arnot. The Rev. Herbert J. Glover of Whitestone, N. Y. has charge of St. John's church during the summer.. (The above items were sent to us by Rev. E. A. Heiiri of Baltimore, who thinks that either the paper is discriminating or the members of the Episcopal church are negligent about giving the paper information concerning important events con nected with their church. We be lieve that Rev. Heim will bear us out in the statement thst we were always ready to publish any article that he saw tit to contribute during the several years that he was Rector of St. John's Church. We are glad to publish any item of value, but we expect to be kept informed by those who are interested in the doings of their respective churches.) A. M. Shepherd, of West Frank lin, Bradford county, was fatally injured at West Franklin Thurs day morning, when he fell from a ladder, fracturing his skull and both jaws. He was helping a neighbor to repair a barn. Be cause of his age, which is well past 50 years, and the serious nature of his injuries, little hope of his re covery was entertained. He died Friday.
