A resident of this town r'.it1inp

to tliitt villnpe on nn erratiil. A reil
lipndiil cnp thought to lme some
fun hikI Rot the boys to fight. When
I lid i ill It) fiitliev ill lived on the Bee in
there was n "sentteration" and the
aforesaid ted bond wns ninin s fti
ojster, for the fnther meant busi
ness. At a recent r-nucus tha chairman
nppotntnd six men to retire to a
room and make the ticket for the
spring election. The secretary ot
tiio ticket maker called for the
votes when n candidates name wnt
presented when only two voted for
the enndidnte, the other fonr refus- I
ing to vole. The chairman threw
that candidate out. I claim he waa
nominated. Will some one enlight
en mo, am I correct ?
Daniel 1). Ltttitnore. an almoHt
life long resident of Lnyton, will
move on Wednesday of this week
to the property recently purchased
at Binnchvillo. Dan's familiar
figure and jolly salutation will be
missed.
The final decision of our highest
courts vas banded down last week
in the Roe Park and Lake Hill and
it was declarod unconstitutional. I
am sorry that such is the case as I
fear it will cause the city people to
go elsewhere than along the shores
of Culvers and Swartswood Lakes.
There Is quite a village of cottages
along the east side of Culver's Lake
and others are contracted 'or, but
this decision will stop all this.
. Wash. Depue moved from Elaines-
villo to his new stora in Branchvillo
on Friday last. Mr. Dopna had a
cood business horo and had the
patronage of this val'oy as director
of funerals and his going loaves a
good opening for some enterprising
man in this Una. The store occu
pied by him has not been rented, so
fur as 1 know.
The teachers' meetings being held
in various parts of this county are
doing a great deal of good, and in
the end will prove beneficial to the
school? Won't the Superintendent
organize something in the same line
for the boards of oil nation. The
law says they shall meet every two
months while the schools are in ses
sion and liavo they done it, not
much.
William Clark of Hainesvillo has
been cor. ft nod to the house by ill
ness for the past week, and is ser
iously ill. He is one of our oldest
citizens.
I hear very little about foxes late
ly, but, Floyd Coursen shot a fine
one on Saturday last. The severe
cold weather has kept the animals
in their holes, but, Floyd caught
this on the run.
All indications point to a success
ful season for the creamery at
Devans. Some who have not sold
milk before will try the creamery
the coming year. Very tew will go
back to the making of butter, after
trying the plan of selling their milk
What happens twice will happen
the third time is often quoted. Rev.
R. W. Lake at Haiuesville took unto
himself a wife a short time ago, and
last week Rev. Fletcher Uariss of
Branchvillo was married to Miss
Etta Williams, a teacher in that
borough. There is a rumor that a
third Dominie wilt da likewise soon
the bride to be a Sahdystou lady.
Will The Truss please print, as
briefly as possibly, the Pennsylvania
law as to the payment of poll taxes
iu Pike county? Every township in
Sussex Co. has its list of delinquent
p jll taxes, and some of them 'joast
that they do not have to pay it. If
the Pennsylvania law enforces the
payment of poll taxes, I think the
Jur-icy people would ha heartily in
favor of such a law.
In counties and townships ' in
Pennsylvania, outside of cities of
certain classes, what is know as a
p ill tax is assessed on occupations.
and in the ruse of a refusal to pay,
th-i collector may enforce collection,
by taking the body. The act says,
"If any person bhall neglect or
refuse to make payment of the
amount due by him fur such tax,
. . . the collector shall levy such
amount by distress and sale of the
poods and chattels, etc., and incase
goods and chattels Rufiieieht to sat
isfy the same with the costs cannot
be found, such collector shall be
authorized to take the body of such
delinquent and convey him to the
jiiil of the proper couuty, there to
remain uu!il the amount of such tax,
together with the costs, shall be
jmkl or secured to lie paid, or until
he shall be otherwise discharged by
das course of hivv." Ku. I'lttr-s 1

The Newark conference convenes
at Newark, N. J., on Maroh 2;!rd.
Bishop Cranston presides. We trust
that Rev. O. J. Shoop will be re

Mrs. Jennie A. Corey, wife of
Conductor Chas. Corey, died at her

returned to Matamoras and are liv

Mrs. M. J. Owen and daughter,

Great sorrow is felt over the
going away of the bridge. The
people in Matamoras will have io
resort now to the ferries. At

lower part of Matamoras below

some of the familios to leave their

Matamoras never suffered so much
before at any season. We trust the
dacgor at this vicinity is all passed
Thesinile-that-won't-oome off has
been completely eliminated from
Mr. Gorman's countenance. Both
locally and nationally : Mr. Gorman
has beeu "getting it iu the neck'

site where the bouse was burned.
The Sanderson tract, below Silver
lake, is alao being cleared of timber
for a )Kiid. Cement is already on
he ground for the dam which is to
be built this spring.
Borne here think there is no more
truth in the story that Jngger
burned Vu Auken's store than
there is in the rumors that he
girdled the fruit trees of George
Hursh.
The lower part of the town does
not seem quite natural since lyevl
Howell moved awoy to Brauehville.
The M. K. church here has had Its
furnaces repaired and the building
will be generally renovated. A good
ni nistnr is expected after Conference
meets and steps are being teken so
that his salary may be raised.
Arthur Jaggor has been confined
to his house with pneumonia.
It is rumored that Eilonbergor,
the lumber dealer, will have his
financial troubles arranged and that
by next season lumbering hero will
bo a lively industry.
Better prices are paid at Bushkill
for ties than here beoAuse they are
sold direct to the railroad company
and loaded on their cars. From
here they must be rafted by a dealer.
Sickness is quite prevalent, and
many are affected with oolds.
Although John tHireiber did not
receive a nomination for supervisor
since election he is on deck. He
knows how to manage a piece of
bad road and make it good, and the
voters appreciated that ability, re
gardless of the caucus chaps who
wanted the ploco for some one else.

It must be quite interesting to
rush along over the Siberian rail
road and know that keen, educated

Life Guards
The Life Guardsare two regiments
of cavalry forming part of the
British household troops. They are
gallant sohliors, and every loyal
Britiuh heart is proud of them. Not
otily the King's household, but
yours, ours, everybody's should
have its life guards. The need of
them is especially great when the
greatest foes of lite, diseases, find
allies iu the very elements as colds,
influenza, catarrh, the grip, and
pneumonia do in the ctormy month
of March. The best way that we
know of to guard against those
disease ia to strengthen the system
with Hood's Sarsaparilla the grest
ost of ell life guards. It removes
tha conditions in which diseases
make their most successful attack,
gives vigor and tone ta all vital
or ini and functions, and imparts a
genial warmth to the blood. Kt-
uiombor the weaker the system the,
re;tter ttie exposure to rtisi-asu.
Hood's r-xii'bnpnrrilla makes the
