Mrs. Bernard Vogt, sold the greater
part Of her store goods at auction the latter
part Of last week. We do not know wheth-
er she will continue he store business or not.
"A goodly number of Old Fellows OF
this ppce, were on jnunt To Millport, on
Friday evening last, where they initiated "a
number Of new members into the Order.
Their journey was pleasant aud all had a
jovial time.
The President has 1ng-next will be
crown - Influence Of Capitalization to
which the people have trusted too much ol
late. The late President Garfield said in
1880, which is the embodiment of the Re-
publican party, "The fame Of Thomas jet
ierson is waning and the fame OF Alexander
Hamilton is waxing stronger and stronger.
We are steadily giavitating to a stronger
government and am glad we are" Every
body knows that this is true liz some respec,,
for the corruption and rascality which
abounds in such an abhorrent manner in
our government is attributable tn this fact,
We are glad that a reaction is setting in and
expect to see a regenerated and revivied
household 10 our government
&C. W. Lentz is meeting with success and
much encouragement in his canvass for
Sheriff. Everybody seems to be solid for
him aud il we were betting character we
would wager our bottom dollar that he was
going to be the democratic nominee and
sheriff Of Carbon county.
-H",for the West Any person who de-.
sires to take Horace Greeley's advice aud 60
west, will do well by calling upon X. H..
Schonen, the accommodating and efficient
agent of the Central Railroad, at this place,
for his ticket. To accommodate romancers
aud searchers after wealth he has taken the
agency Of a number of companies for these
tickets aud will furnish them as cheap as
they can be got at any other agency or tick
ct headquarters. Give Bob call Tor he will
give satisfaction.
Mr.. Ell. Miller who has been stationed
in Chautsuqua county, N. Y, for the last
few years, was brought home by his mother,
last week, very sick He is IN very pre-
carious condition and very little hope is en-
tertaned OF his ever getting well again.
His disease, we believe, is blood poisoning
brought on, no doubt, by gross disregard
Of natures requirements. His wife and child
are also here.
On Monday next the Democratic cdun
ty committee meets. We hope that the
committee will have the good sense to Sc.
lect an early day for the convention and
outline progressive policy for Ibis cam
paign. The State democracy has planted
itself squarely upon an aggressive platform
and as it has placed the party Of corruption
and power on the defensive in the contest it
is the duty of the county democracy to fol-
low in the footsteps of the higher oracles,
and proclaim to the lesser light OF the Stal
warts in the county that it means to place
and fight them in the same iiianhef. Such
a contest, waged by honorable means, will
win glorious triumph over skulpers, trait
ors aud the opposition. Let onward and
forward be our battle cry, aud Pattson aud
reform, with the same in local afiairsj be
our sabboleth, and victory will perch our
banners, for the mighty voice of the people
is against Boss thraldom and Republican
domination as now carried on.
-Wessport Republicans must be in a
pitiuble plight and condition when they
cannot secure bondsmen to the extent OF
$500, so that the Republican Ireform board
Of Commissioners may distribute or give
the county duplicates to one of the faithful
henchmen Of the great al am" and "Me
too" 1t is pleasure for Weissport Repub
licans that the 81 am" had to go to Frank
lin and select collector for our borough.
1t is factious compliment to our citizens
and comedy that will not soon be forgot
ten. This going outside OF the borough to
select a tax collector, is as much as we
know without a precedent, but of course
the law must sanction 1t, or else the "Alpha
and Omega" of Carbon authority would not
have sanctioned it, but this illiterate genius
is so equipped that he can twist any law
according to his notion. How do you relish
it, citizens of Weissport, to be known here
after as being unable so give security for
$500 so as to secure patry tax duplicate.
