This office is in constant receipt of
communications from persons in
nearly every part of the United States
asking for information which will
enable them to come here and secure
q situation which will yield them a
salary. The applications are in most
every instance from persons who are
seeking some light employment, such
as bookkeeping, clerking, typewriting,
school teaching, etc. The invariable
answer to all such is that positions of
that nature are all filled, and that
there are others something like them
selves who are anxiously awaiting the
vacancy into which they may
promptly step for coin. For those
who have strong willing hands that
are not afraid of work there is
lots of room in this vicinity
There are thousands upon thousands
of acres of unoccupied lands that will
furnish employment and homes to
those who have the industry and per.
severance to carve them out with
their own hands. It is slow work,
perhaps, and hard work, certainly
but its rewards are sure. But, while
we would advise many who are al.
ready here to quit looking for light
easy work, and take hold of that
which is hard, but which brings in.
dependence, we cannot recommend
those looking for light employment
to come here.

The Petitions.

Monday the petitions and counter
petions in the matter of county seat re
moval came up before the commissioners,
and fer several hours that honorable
body was deluged with such food of
oratory as would have made an eight.day
clock cease its labors. Notwithstanding
the intimatfon of one speaker that all the
flights of oratory except his own were
personal wrangles," in which he would
take no part it can truly be said that
considering the opposite interests in
volved and the intense feeling as to the
outcome, the boys behaved well--frst-
class, in fact. The original petitions
circulated on the sly while the opposition
were napping--contained 341 signatures.
The contemplation ontained 21S names,
all but twelve of them from the north
half of the county, and bearing the
names of some forty who had signed the
original petition through the assertion of
Sheriff Wade that 'the Williamsport
people and the Hollanders are going to
divide the county" The withdrawal of
eA0oC HaiACo WOuIO nave 1S1t tuc SIkueES
to the Wade petition numbering about
300, and every nook and Granny of the
county had been scraped as with fine.
tooth comb to secure them. Mr.. Wade
and Mr.. Parker claimed that the law
means two-thlrds of the voters as shown
by the lists Of the last general election.
Their opponents claimed that they must
show two-t thirds Of the voters, as denoted
by the total of the two petitions. which
they could not do. The counter. petitioners
alse claimed that there had been No gen
eral demand for vote this fall--most Of
the signatures having been obtained
throughth the aforesaid statement that ''the
Williamsport people and the Hollanders
will divide the county" aud that for this
reason, also. the petition for vote did
not represent the wishes of its sianers
md should not be granted.
The board. however. decided to call :
vote on removal, and every one is satis-
fed with their action. The RECORD is
satisfied, at any rate. for the overthrow
of Wade, Parker, Bumstead, Van Beck q

A Few Campaign Yarns Exploded.
No one recognizes the largencss Of the
removal job better than the conspirators
themselves. They have known from the
start that there was no general demand
for county-scat removal at the present
time, and that meeting in secret to FORM
ulatc plan Of campaign has not tended
to bring them the confidence of taxpay-
ers. They had hoped to get the RECORD
to "stand in" aud help run the thing
"on the quiet" This they failed to do.

Sheriff Wade has been telling all over
the county that the jai--h,s own dear
jail-is ruin. The RECORD denied 1t,
and gave the statement of Mr.. Wade's
deputy to disprove it. But Billy knew
that unless the voters could be convinced
that the Jail was valuelcss they would
never consent to the removal scheme. So he
and Bumstead and Parker continued to
work the yarn for all it was worth, and to
at least one man in the Holland Settle

about to tumble down it is as much as a
mans life Is worth to be in there. /
