Republican News Item.
' FOR COUNTY TREASURER
|JOSEPH A. HELSMAN.
On next; Tuesday the voters of
Sullivan County will be culled up
on to elect a Treasurer l'or Sulli .an
county. For this important ollicc
Joseph A. Helsman of Berniqe is
a csmdidate. Mr. Helsman is so
well known throughout the county
hy reason of his residence of over
forty years here, that he needs no
introduction to the voters. Pro
bably half of them know him per
sonally and to become acquainted
with is to regard him in high es
teem ever afterwards.
"Joe" has never been a candi
date for a county office before, but
he has made a thorough, though
quiet canvass. It has always been
a gentlemanly canvass. He has
indulged in no abuse of other can
didates nor permitted others to do
it in his behalf. He has been fair
and eorteous to the other candi
dates. This is characteristic of the
man.
All indications point to Mr.
Herman's election by a large ma
jority. His large acquaintance,
popularity and fitness for the office
are his great elements of strength.
The people generally recognize in
him a. man very desirable for the
position and they will rally to his
support next Tuesday, regardless
of political affilliations. If the
funds of Sulli van county are hand
led by Mr. Hclsmaii during the
next four years, they will be in
safe hands. VOTE FOR IIKLS
MAN.

We are a trifle late this week
and this is the reason : Our old

an engine, balked on us without
just cause or provocation. We
offered it all kinds of inducements
if it would only run, but the ob
stinate old thing just, simply re
fused to run until it got good and
ready. We've arrived at the con
elusion that a gasolene engine is
descended from a mule, it having
all of the disagreeable traits, habits
and tricks of said animal, but like
darwin's theory of man there is a
missing link.

Rabbits arc plentiful around
| this section this year and are being
1 killed by the dozen.
The Great Hunter ?
A young man from Laporte
carrying a rifle was out in the
wilds near Celestia Thursday, evi
dently with the intention of kill
ing something. He was standing
there with that Teddyistie look,
and imagined that all the game
animals for miles around would
be seeking a secluded spot if they
knew he was there. A rabbit that
happened to bo passing by came
under the great hunter's eagle eye,
quickly he brought his rifle to his
shoulder and fired, the poor rab
bit jumped up in the air, came
down on his back and lay there.
With the air of a conqueror he
stepped forward to bag the game,
when all of a sudden the little
fellow jumped up and hopped away
stopping only long enough to say
—stung. Now 1 reckon the editor
will have to hunt his hole.
Hollowe'en is over and the town
sfili remains on the mountain top.
Not much damage was done, but a
few sneaky, disreputable tricks
were indulged in.
