Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1889-07-12

a party OF young people Vi La
porte, including the editor, took a
trip to Long Pond ON Saturday,
June 29th. The scenery there is
pleasing but can not be compared to
the views at the Mere. Lake Mo-
koma is some larger than the Pond
and is much prettier sheet of water.
On our way we took in Lopez, which
to describe in shott can be compared
to a beehive omiting the drones
which are commch in the box of
honey. 1t is without doubt the most
thriving town in tile county. We
were shown the machinery OF the
Jennings Bros, saw mill, by one of
the Firm, c. H. Jenhings, Esq. This
is one of the finest sawmills in
this section of the state and
The boys are enjoying good busi-
hess which we are pleased to note:
We shall say more about this city of
ind ustrv, or as some of the residence
call it, "the Metropolis of the county" ="
in the near future.
j. II. Thomas of Laporte recently
took quarters in the Court House
and now has charge ofprisoners con-
fined therein. The Sheriff and fami-
ly will take severitl weeks vacation
and visit friends III Scranton and
Carbonaale as soon as Speht the
escaped convict is captured. Tie
Sheriff Visited Elmira, fecently, lis
we gave in our last issue, with the
expectation of returning Speht to
No. cell at Laporte but he refused
to come until the Sheriff had secured
a Requisition from the Governor.
Tie Sheriff has made application
for this legal document and as the
proper authorities of Elmira are re-
quired to keep Speht in custody
fot period of fifteen days, the
Sheriff has hopes of returning him
soon to the Sullivan equity Jail.
LATTER:-The Sheriff received
letter from the Governor at recent
date setting forth that he would not
sign the Requisition owing to the
fact that he considered it too ttihing
a matter.
Wonder who is entitled to the
silver mounted fishing rod for the
finest mess of trout captured this
season? If one is to believe the
stories of the various nimrods, we
imagine it would be impossible to
make q choice. OF course the last
man who relates his experience
comes out ahead on the first series
of stories but whe} the first fellow
realizes what he has got to butt against
commences over ana tells of his ex-
perience on Loyal Sock or Fishing
Creek, Just rs tie case demands,
and when the party has finished, the
stories" are so large that no person
could distinguish very much differ
ehce, Prof. Baker, however has put
claim on the prize and unless his
opponents prove him unworthy he
will be presented with the honors.
Jerry Kelly Esq. the popular hard
ware merchant, and wife of Hughes
vile and Mrs. VIM. A. Kraus, Sister
of Mr.. Kelly and wife of the Geceas-
ed member of the Lake Mokoma
Land Company, of WilliaIhsport,
were viewing the scenery abOht La
porte and Lake Mckoma the early
part of last week. Mrs. Kraus has
several hundred dollars invested in
the Mok5ma Land Company and was
pleased with the new enterprise. Mr..
Kelly paid us call during his stay
and renewed his subscription FOR the
REPUBLICAN.
Jos, Walburn AID wife of Lope.,
passed through town on their way
home from short visit to Lewistown
on Monday. Mr.. Walbutn is an old
time subscriber of the REPUBLICAN
and called at our sanctum to renew
his subscription. He is good Re-
publican and expressed himself well
pleased with the manner in which
the REPUBLICAN is conducted for the
success of the Republican, party of
Sullivan county. Mr.. Walburn will
