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.
