What is a Township treasurer elected for and refused to give bonds? 14tst year Connel Co. road tax was paid by one ofjtlie road supervisors who placed it in the Dushore Bank this year after obtaining legal advise he pi id it to the Township Treasur er getting o receipt for the same. The road sudpervisor sent a letter by the pathmaster for the treasurer to pay into the said path master all the Connel Co. tax which he refused to do until they would sign order to which purpose the said money was to be paid. The road supervisors goef and borrows money at 5 per cent interest. So it seems the tax payers have to pay the fiddler. How long will the voters of Cherry town ship stand thisjkind of treatment? Are they willing to let the said offi cers borrow money and pay interest ou the same with money in the hands of the Township Treasurer? Why is it that a certain man of Colley township is paid $1 .oil per day to work Ihe Bernice roads tax and the tux payers of this place are only allowed $1.25 per day to work ing their road tax or is it that the Colley township men are worth more per day than the Bern ten tax payers?

"Seeing la Believing-" The woman who sends money by mail for tlie purchase of goods misses one of the Huest delights of buying, especially to a woman. She must take what she gets without seeing H before hand. Frequently the disappointment Is so great as to otTset any small bar gain she may happen to get In price. She has no way of knowing that the goods are up to the standard ndvetf *tised In the catalogue. On the othsr hand, when a woman walks luto the home store and the clerk steps up to do her bidding she has the whole stock to choose from, and It Is her privilege to inspect thoroughly tbe goods she buys. 75C PER YEAP HELLO!

It would seem to be a cause for gratification to the public official when his friends and associates re gard him as being fit f«r a position of greater trust and responsibility. In this State today as well as in gov ernment station the desire is that the faithful public otticial should receive additional recognition in the way of promotion and this is why the friends of Appraiser of Port Pred P. Vincent wish to see hiin elevated to the collectorship of tin? port, made vacant by the death of Collectr Thomas. That Mr. Vincent should be for the vacant collectorship is natural and the legitimate o» ut(l tt>e of years of loyal and energe'®.. °'" e vice as an employe of th«* " house of that port. Prom th» ception of his connection with It, *very effort has indicated that he predates the significance of abiding strictly by his obligation to the gov ernment by returning an honest equivalent for the consideration he receives. There is nothing inconsistent in the conduct of those who propose the name of Mr. Vincent with this vacancy, for his years in the apprais er*' department is a good evidence that he has not l>een unmindful of the duties which devolve upon him Ten years have shown that he has been guided by his higher ideas of manhood that are considered essential in the government emplri •. lie was appointed to * Appraisorshlp in the custom servit\ anil later was appointed to the posi tion which he fills with so much ered it to himself and honor to the govern ment. The importers and exporters of the port realize that in Mr. Vin cent with his years of experience there would be an otticial in -the Collectorship who would have a keen sense of its res|>onsihilUy, a man with a safeguard to every right and his policy would be for a con tinued growth of our commercial trade. Mr. Vincent is a Republican of the consistent kind and for yeajs has Iteen a leader in his home county of Hullivan, but he is that manner of party inanjwho believe* in the sup eriority of party principles over iwrty men. He stands for loyal friends and fidelity to duty and in him the government would have a man of highest order of ability. Subscribe for the News Item.
