Shoemaker is attend ing United States Court at Scranton this week. dell Hunter will move his fam ily to the residence of It. A. Conk liu, this week. Misses Celia and May Donovan of Muncy Valley visited Laporte friends over Sunday. The vote raisers will soon harvest the crop. ()f course some will be disappointed in their yield. The Village Improvement Society will meet at the home, of Mrs. Keeler on Tuesday evening Oct. 27th. R. A. Conklin of Picture Rocks, was in town the early part of the week, placing a tombstone on the grave of his deceased wife. F. M. Crossley has purchased it young horse to assist with the stage service between the post oil ice and railroad station. 0 Miss Carrie Lovelace of William spoit is spending the week with her parents at this place. Mrs. C. L. Wing visited with friends at Picture Rocks the early part of this week. Mr. and Mrs. James M. Brown and family of Lebanon, are visiting at the home of W. B. Hitter. Mr. and Mrs. Simon Fries will move into the furnished residence of W. J. Higley's next week which they will occupy for the coming winter. Hon. A. L. Dyer and Dr. Christ ian of Lopez were county seat visit ors Friday of last week. Mr. Dyer drove his new reo automobile, which is an exceedingly fine machine. After a pleasant summer spent with friends and relatives at this place, Mrs, E. J. Flynn and son Arthur, left on Tuesday for their home in Meehan Junction, Miss. The people of Sullivan will be as sured of a courteous and efficient of ficial in the person of Win. Gumble if they put him in the Treasurers of fice. John and Lee Rosencrants have returned from Lestersliire and are now cutting wood on their father's farm iu Laporte township. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Higley took their annual departure Thursday for lloselle Park N. J., where they will remain for the winter. Wm. 11. Rogers was last week given the contract for erecting an jce house for the Lake-MokoinaCo., near the breast of the lake. The first section now under construction is IK) by 80 and 25 feet high. It is not often that the citizens have an opportunity to vote for such a capable man as Win. A. Gumble and his election as County Treasurer should be assured. Why send a minority represent* ation to the Legislature and be practi cally unrepresented? L. H. Zaner if elected will be on the majority side and will have some influence. Hon. F. P. Vincent, U. S. mercan tile appraiser at Philadelphia, was at Laporte Thursday receiving cord ial greetings from his friends here, who are ever glad to meet him. Ex Sheriff F. W. Buck of Muncy Valliey was at the Couuty seat Wednesday, shaking hands with old friends. Mr. Buck while here pur chased a cow of W. J. Higley. Mark J. Collins, son of Mrs. B.

Candidate William Gumble made a flying trip through the County Capital Wednesday. He is making a strenuous effort to reach every voter in the county. He is the hard est working candidate in the field, and it is to be hoped that his dili gence will be rewarded at the polls. Mrs. Mable Hitter spent Suml n with Williauosport friends The postofttee authorities have given warning to newspapers that the law governing the publication of lucky number holders in raffles and otlier things will be strictly enforced from now on. The warning states that newspaper publishers will ex ercise more care in the future, not publishing anything regarding guess ing contest or any proposition where in there is the slightest chance of lottery or chance scheme. The pen alty for violation is the withdrawal from the mails. Editor Steeby has at last broken out in the campaign tight and pre pared some very poor quality of reading matter for his paper last week. It was, of course, the best he could do under the existing condi tions, as it was absolutely necessary (or him to exercise his imagination, which he did to its utmost limit. There being no facts at hand on which to base an editorial he made use of some most ridiculous asser tions as well as making himself guilty of transgressing the command ment which admonishes against the vile practice of "bearing false wit ness against thy neighbor." Prob ably the editor forgot that he profess es Christianity or else he is so ment ally warped and politically cross-eyed that he got the Democratic past and Republican present in Sullivan county mixed up until he imagined he was living under the reign of Bryan and Haskell He charges the "machine" with being instrumental in placing Mr. John M. llandall as postmaster at Forksville, much to the protest of the patrons of the office. Asa matter of fact a Democrat masquerading as a Republican, wanted a woman to receivt the appointment to lill the vacancy of the retiring postmaster, Mr. llannon, who resigned of his own free will. Editor Streby should make himself better acquainted with the Federal lawsand rulings be fore preparing editorials on subjects connected with them. When he does so he will find that the Depart ment does not in any case, within the I'nited States, recognize a wo man applying for a postoffice, where there are men applicants for the same office. Furthermore Mr. Randall was desired by the majority of citi zens in Forksville. He is a capable and worthy young man and is giv ing an excellent postal service to his town. Editor Streby then advauced his tirade, charging the "machine" with holding up the R. F. D. from Wheelcrville, although none of his assertions were substantiated by pioof In this matter he will find the official transaction shows that Senator Penrose was instrumental in getting the route established which will soon go into effect. We have never yet heard of a Re publican opposing an R F D route. It is the Republican administration that is pushing this service into all corners of the county. Now, really, Mr. Streby, did you not know these facts? Surely, it is enough to make one weep. Yes, we suspect you do want to weep. You would weep be cause we have a county big enough and prosperous enough to support an annual expendituie of billions in the construction of the Panama canal, irrigating arid lands, increasing army and navy strength, extending postal service into rural ditricts and doing all this without borrowing money or relyiug 011 Democratic council. Is it any wonder that men with such small souls and contract ed intellects can help but feel as you do. If you can't make the people believe that the "machine" has al ready thrown this county into the midst of a cyclone of calamity, just because through some postal depart ment regularity, a rural delivery is not established the day the peti tion is sent in, you had better then turn prophet and declare that while things are all right now, we are going to encounter the very devil just over the hill. Really, that is all we can see in the arguments ad vanced by you. If we bad as hard a time searching for an issue to bolster up our side of the question as you do,and then find ing it necessary to resort to such false statements as embodied your feeble effort last week, we would im mediately employ a physician to amputate our mental faculty and then take to the woods and spend our days with the whippoorwills and cat-birds, It's a fact, Mr. Streby, we would. > pf. ver; attru live improvements eooutiu taniery village. All the build jngf are being white washed with out A'hich makes the place look de cidolly neat- The grounds around the aunery have been graded and gooJ footpaths made all around. Mr. Taylor is the kind of a man we feel proid to have with us. His. public spiiitedness should engage the thoig litful consideration ol all prop erty owners ot the borough. He is horight man in the right place. ')ur Borough High School is pro gressing well under the efficient m sjagement of Prof. C. O. Bird and Mi« Jessie Wrede There are now !) ftndents enrolled from Laporte tovnship. The total enrollment of the school numbers 52. I'alrons should be cautious about giving their children permission to stay out of school. Every day thus lost and idly spent can never be takenjadvantage of again. Better men and women. Intellectually and morally is the crying need of the world yesterday today and forever, rtieir school life is the foundation for all this. F. W. Peal and W. II Rogers, the Republican candidates for County Commissioners, are now at work eirnestly conducting their campaign and devoting most of their time in cdling on the voters of the county for their support. It would be hard t> find men better equipped for County Commissioners than Peal and Rogers as both of them for many years occupied positions of trust and responsibility. Roth have been just 11s faithful in discharging these duties as those in private or business life. Such men as Peal and Rogers can be trusted to look after the duties of the office of County Commissioner md we must heartily commend them to the favor of the voters of the county irrespective of party affili ations as men in whom they can im pose confidence. County Com missioners like Peal and Rogers will give Sullivan county a business ad ministration in the Commissioner's ofttee of a kind that will be a direct saving to the tax payers. Be sure to vote for Peal and Rogers for County Commissioners. Laugh not in scornful glee at the hunter who returneth from the woods with empty game bag and woeful face. Remove that sneering smile when you meet the nimrod, returning weary and disgusted with his trip to the mountains. Sym pathy, not scorn, should be extended to the man who, mayhaps, has tramped through miles of bracken and brush in a vain effort to se-. cure his lawful share of the game which infests the fastnesses of forest and field. Pity the man who carries a heavy gun all day long and totes a load of woe home with him at night, llis case is one that ought to appeal to the tender mercies of humanity. When you feel like expanding your mouth in a laugh of ghoulish glee at the hunter with the empty game bag, think of the times you also came home from the woods, sneaking down the dark alleyways to avoid public gaze aud with noth ing but sore feet and burs in your hair as a reward for your venture. Remember how you felt whenjpedes trianting among the bushes and brambles, without even seeing a chipmunk, you returned with a de termination never to be fool enough togo hunting again. Because of your own experience you ought to have some consideration for the hunter of the present day who has followed your example with similar results. The ladies of the Village Improve ment Society of Laporte in their Summer work of serving refresh ments on tho picnic grounds of Lake Mokoma, cleared the sum of SOB.OO which, when added to their sum previously raised, amounts to $123. 00. They have resolved to use this fund in grading, seeding and beauti fying the borough Park. The work is to be done under the supervision of a competent landscape gardener. The funds in hand are not sufficient to do the work as well and thoroughly as it ought to be done, and the ladies will solicit subscriptions from public spirited citizens, to enable them to do the work in such a man ner as will be a credit to the County Seat.
