zen as is Mr.. Levan, the new Sheriff of Car
bon.
Frank p. Semmei was doing The honors
in the Prothonotary office for several days
this week-George Esser being confined to

wonderful adaptablity to the position,
which makes us think that perhaps some
day he will be chief cook of that depart
ment in our county government.
