Served Him Right.

A stranger called upon farmer
in Butler county few days ago,
and for $25 painted the roof of his
barn with mixture that he said
would make it last longer than the
stone foundation. The first rain
washed all the paint off. Last week
he reappeared and wanted to sell
the farmer d patent corn planter.
The latter was still hot about the
paint, and said he would not buy a
corn planter, but he would do a
little painting at the agents expense.
The agent offered all sorts of ex-
plantations, but they availed nothing.
The farmer sailed into him in the real
Butler county pugilistic style, and
in a few moments painted the agents
nose beautiful carmine tint, and
his eyes genuine blue-black. The
colors will last longer than the paint
on the barn.

Alvin Day Ed. of the Tunkhannock
Democrat and the Platts of the same
place are having little tussle on
paper. I've are only in receipt OF
one side Of the story-the Demo-
crot, hence can only enjoy what our
brother editor has to say on the
subject. 1t seems that the Piatts
accuse Day of "sneeking" draft TO
the war in 1862. Day says this is a
lie and that he did as much to save
the country in the time of war as
did any Piatt. Day quots Jim
Piatt as being an asp.rant for Judge
of this district. Jim says this is
not so, that he could not afford to
exchange his business for the Judge.

amounts to more than the Judges

The spring chicken is assuming
broiling proportions.

There is an odor both in the LIST
and Cd Ward that strikes our streets
very offensive to the passerby. The
odor that comes from the scrapings
of the hides at the tannery is awfully
sickening and has caused horses to
increase their speed to run. What
a horse won't stand people should
not be compelled to. Here is a
chance for the borough council to
increase the healthful condition OF
our town. Remove the obstacle.

More Needed.

We have some Of them, we are glad
TO say, but we need more of them.
We mean progressive men Men
who will push their own business.
Men who will do something besides
croak. Men who will rejoice to see
their town more rich and happy
Men who will not tell stranger
that he is a fool to come here. Men
who will invest in home property
and home enterprises. Men who
love their town unselfshiy, as they
love their country. Men who be-
lieve in their own town, and who
can see its good points. Men who
will patronize home enterprise and
buy goods of home manufacture
Men who are bound to keep in the
swim, aud whose love of progress
extends to their pocketbooks.

Reversing the rule heretofore OBJ.
served the morning ceremonies were
held at LaPorte. At nine O'Clock
large delegation from Sonestown,
headed by their excellent sdrum
corps, arrived here and soon after
ward procession was formed and
marched up Muncy st. to the NJ. Z.
church where large audience was
assembled. The Post commanded
by J. W. Harvey opened the pro.
ceeding's. Some excellent music
was furnished by the LaPorte choir
and Ellery P. Ingham Esq, made
an appropriate address. The time
of march was then taken up to
Mountain Ash Cemetery where the
ritual of the Grand Army was spoken
by the comrades and the soldiers
graves were decorated with flowers.
In the afternoon, the Post, with
the drum corps and large number
of people from LaPorte proceeded
to Sonestown. The sun came out
and the day was fair and pleasant
and the little village was thronged
with people. The ceremonies took
place in the large and handsome NJ.

opened by prayer by comrade
Metzger, the Sonestown choir sang
some stirring war songs, and the
drum corps played beautiful dirge
E. P. Ingham was then called upon
for some remarks and made string
off hand speech. After music by
the choir the audience proceeded tc
the cemetery and the soldiers graves
were decorated by their comrades.
The entire program passed off in q
very satisfactory manner-the at
tendance was large, the music was
excellent and the speeches were
good.
Particular mention should be
made by the excellent playing upon

The graves of the fallen comrades
buried in EaglesMere cemetery, were
decorated by comrades, Danley and

These reunions upon Memorial
Day of the people Of Sonestown and
LaPorte have proven not only sue
cessful but very enjoyable and we
hope will long be continued.

We are anxious for correspon-

in Sullivan county. We invite
young men and young ladies to
send us an account of the events
transpiring in their respective To-
calities. Names of correspondents
will be withheld from the public.
Manuscript will be revised if they
need revision. To be able to put
your thoughts on paper, fit for pub
lication, is an accomplishment of
which every young man or woman
should be proud. No matter what
your education may be, successful
journalism is attained only by
practice. The most noted in that
profession were born and schooled,
not in the cities but in the country.
Some Of those who have made their
mark in the world of journalism be-
gen their work by writing for the
local newspapers. 1t is field that
offers greater opportunities for ad-
vancement than any other now open
to the possessors of bright minds.
The gathering and writing up Of the
news amounts almost to genions in
some persons, but no one knows
what he may be able to do in that
direction until he tries. To one
person in each precinct, sending us
the news regularly we will mail

A syndicate composed of the fol-
lowing firms, viz: Jennings Bros.
of Lopez, Pa, Davidge Horton e.
Co., and s. i. Davidge & Co., oi
Newark Valley N. Y. and II. III.
Crary of Binghamton, N. Y, and
representing at least five millions of
dollars, have about completed the
arrangements for one of the largest
single purchases of land known in
the history of this county. The
land to be bought is that owned by
Col. Il. B. Ricketts, and is situated
in Davidson and Colley twps., of
this county and in Forks and North
Branch twps., in Wyoming county
and includes the land lying at the
headwaters of the Mehoopany Greek.
The entire quantity will embrase at
least twenty thousand acres.
If the purchase is made, and of that
there is little doubt it is the inten.
tion of the syndicate to at once
commence operations. A tannery
will be erected which will consume
from ten to fifteen thousand cords
of bark per year and q saw mill
having a capacity of from twenty to
thirty million feet of lumber per.
year will also at once be constructed
The site has not been chosen but it
will either be on the headwaters of
the Mehoopany Greek in Sullivan
county, or at the village of Mehcop-
any, Wyoming county. G. III. Jen-
ming of Lopez, will be the active
manager and Superintendent. I'm
der his directions the bark will be
peeled and shipped to Messrs Dav-
idge and the logs gotten to the mill.
Mr.. Jennings long experience and
great business abilities insures
the success Of this part of the under
taking The syndicate will also build
at their own expense line of rail
road to connect with the Lehigh
Valley at Mehoopany and which
will tap the unbroken forests lying
at the headwaters of that stream.

Let me beg for short depression.
Now, reader. do not understand me
to be accusing any present or former
County Commissioners of unfaithful
ness to the trust we. have cOnfidFd
in them. I am not discussing merits
or dement's of any public servant. l
hope they all haye done what they
believed to be best and right, and
I feel gratefully thankful tor what
they have done. But it is ours in
this discussion to kindly and respect
fully say that So. 900 is not sufficient
levy to successfully run our public
schools. This levy should he 5000.
and 1t is now time for our people t"
ask at the:hands of our commissioner
a levy sufficient to keep our schools
in operation for six months in q
year. Il can he seen by examining
eur school reports and Information
from Secretary Hinebaugh that il
costs about $4,000 to pay teachers
salaries and fuel. New with a little
more figuring on these and other
necessary expenses it can be seer
that we can have five months school
with county levy of $4,000; and
with a county appropriation OF
SIS 900 we can have six months
school-,just what we need and ought
to haye. There is Cry coming vi

To the Editor of The Republican.
1t is a burning, clustering shame
that the children of Garrett County
have been permitted in the last few
years to grow up like little barbara
ans. lisa disgrace-a plague spot
ON our community. 1t looks as
though Garrett County had no man
hood, no public spirit, no regard for
the bringing up of the y"un. men
and women who are soon to succeed
10 the management Of affairs. -
1t is true there are difficulties in
the way. We have a large. sparsely
populated area with a small taxable
basis, but if there Is no other way
the levy should be increased for school
puri oses. The state collects 10 cents
on the hundred dollars worth OF
property tor school purposes and dis
tributed to the counties In proportion
to the school population with a pro-
yiso that if any county shall fail to
keep the schools open seven aud one
half months each year it fOrteits the
April installmeni from the Slate.and
we haye forfeited this April Install
ment now for the last thirteen OF
fourteen years. At the legislative
session of 1880 I had the honor to in
tr0duce and secure the passage of
bill requiring the Treasurer to refune
to Garrett County the amount thu
forfeited for the four preceedin!
years, which amounted to nearl!
! $4,000. Since then the amount annu
ally forfeited has been restored t
