The piercing pains of Neuralgia, which often follows a bad cold or La Grippe, are frequently almost un bearable and few medicines afford any relief to the sufferer.

We have authority for stating that our Democratic friends are in a fair way to win honors as slate makers. The powers that be, mostly radiating from the Eastern end of the county, have made their slate and we are informed the ticket they have selected is as follows: For Associate Judges, Dennis Keefe of Dusliore and —\ i for County Commissioners, Clinton Dieffenbach of Cherry and W. B. Snider of Davidson ; for Treasurer, Frank Magargle of Davidson ; for Sheriff, Cott of Elk land : for I'rothonotary and County Auditors our informant was unin formed. This is a pretty snug ticket, might be worse and has some good material 011 it as every one knows. The problem is to show the people something better. And the chief trouble with slates is that they are written in the night, and in the morning the teacher, in cases of this kind, the vote in, wipe it clean and puts up new material. Finest In The State. The Clinton County Times says in part of C. 11. Lauor, a former resident of this place and a brother of Mrs. Frank Ingham : Lock Haven can boast of another preeminence. This time it is not of a civic or industrial nature, but has to do with the "pale realms of shade, where each shall take his chamber.'' We refer to the modern undertaking parlors of C. R. Lauer of this city, who lias achieved great success since locating here a few years ago, when he took over the business of J. N. Sloan, for many years the leading funeral director of the city. Some few mouths ago' Mr. Lauer purchased the Merrill home at the corner of West Main and Second streets, just across from Trinity M. E. church, one of the choicest lo cations in the city, and after im proving and remodeling the home, decided to erect a modern under taking establishment 011 the rear of the lot. He has succeeded admirably in all his desires and traveling men in the undertaking line have told Mr. Lauer that his funeral parlors are superior to anything in the state, not excepting the larger cities. A Correction. Wo are pleased to make a correction in our article ol' lust week on slate making. We made a statement that a formal meeting ol' slate makers had been held in the Court House. We have since been informed by reliable authority and some who wore present, that the meeting was not held at the Court House, and we hereby cor rect that part of the article. If we make any uiistatemcuts in the News Item thoy arc not intentional and shall always take pleasure in correcting them as soon as we are shown they are not correct. Chicken Waifle Dinner at the Laporte Hotel, Sunday, August -7, lUII, between the hours of 1 and 2p. in. Price 50 cents. Lock Haven, the most beautiful city on the west branch of the Sus quehanna, is the location of the Central- State Normal School, an institution which ranks among the very best in the state. It is not only strong as an educational in stitution but the management of the school have developed a home like spirit and in this way, it fos ters a development of character. Its students therefore leave the school with higher ideals of life and living and are hotter citizens in consequence. The fall term begins Sept. 11th. Write for cat alogue. Adv BOAT CARNIVAL GRAND SUCCESS. The fourth annual illuminated boat Carnival on Lake Mokoma was a grand success in every par ticular. In numbers and beauty of decorated and competing floats, boats and canoes, it far exceeded all former carnivals. Excursion trains brought largo crowds to the lake and from twelve to fifteen hundred people witnessed the dis play. The first prize for floats, a beau tiful silver loving cup, was won by the Farrell Sisters, whose float represented a cottage homestead, with open lire-place; an elderly couple were enjoying its genial warmth. A beautiful effect was produced by the rende ,,! .iig of "Silver Threads Among the Gold" by an unseen violinist. The second prize was awarded to a float repre senting "The Hanging of the Crane," arranged by K. M. I'en nock and Miss Barrows. The first prize for single boats went to Miss Leone Lad ley, whose boat represented Betsy Boss making tin first American flag. The second prize for single boats was awarded to Miss Eunice Ighaiu, her boat representing a college girls "Den". Time and space prevent a mention of other individual boats, but it is proper to say that the task con fronting the judges was a difficult one for every competing boat was worthy. The prizes awarded by Lake Mokoma Company consisted of a beautiful silver loving cup. two silver canoes and a sliver soapbox, all suitably engraved. The line formed below island lake and moved once around the lake. The thosauds of Japanese lanterns and other lights transformed the lake into a veritable fairyland and the beauty of the same will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it The event was a most fitting culmination of a higher successful season at this rapidly developing summer resort. "Dam Such Roads." Now Gents, it is not fair to talk about roads in that rough way. The road is not to blame for the reason that a road has no brains. It is, we think, correct logic that good roads are a line thing for cverbody. No use going a thous and miles away from home to criticise the roads, but begin right here in our own Laporte township. From the Shrewsbury line to Celestia. the road machine putin some excellent work and loose stones were thrown out, but not one de cent water break was made. Now we are no lover of water breaks, but if we must have them instead of Culverts, give us something bet ter than loose dirt. We do not blame the men that done the work they had to make a "showing". We might just as well put Into our stomachs a ''mud pie" made by a child as to do "biz" in that man ner. I heard one man say who has no team, that he would be one of twenty to putin one dollar each, to have the work done right, and the writer would be another. And us fellers want no office. A. C. Jenkins. Are you a subscriber to the News Item? The political situation is important to all the people this fall, and voters should keep up with what is taking place.

New Albany Music Co., New Albany Penn.a. Our Position. We have received a number of letters approving the course of the News Item last week far open and honest politics. We wish to assure our friends that we appreciate their letters. We have also had some fault found with us for what wo said. We wish also to thank those who have criticised us. This we consider open politics and fair. We wish both approval and criti cisims, and in this way hope to get a fair opportunity of knowing what the public want. We have not criticised individuals but were con tending for principles. The Item is a Republican paper, because we beleive in Republican principle. In national matters good Republi cans support a platform rather than a candidate. In local matters good Republicans as well as all good citizens should support the candi dates who will serve the people. In this county many Republicans have been successful because they were litted for the positions. A majority party has difficulties to contend with which do not affect the minority party. On the other hand a minority party can only win by naming candidates whose qual ifications will rally to their support the votes of those citizens who value the good of the country above the welfare of the politicians. It is such candidates that this paper would like to see nominated and elected. At the lant commencement of the Lock Haven State Normal School, a handsome tower clock and a 3500 pound bell was dedicated. They were presented by Mr. Wilson Kistler, a philanthropic citizen of Lock llaven, and they are in every respect first class. The entire ex pense involving an expenditure of adout 84,000. This is an evidence of the esteem in which the school is held by the best citizens of its home community, but it has a state wide reputation as' well as refer ence to its finely illustrated catalog will show.
