ness The Neversink River, on
which the village is situated, is
pronounced one of the best trout
streams in the State. The SUR

mountains, forests, streams and
lakes. East Lake, on the summit
of one of the many highlands of
Sullivan County, completely sur
rounded by forests, affords ample
sport for boating and fishing.

ETC. There are other lakes within
a few miles of this resort, accessible
by excellent drives. among which
are Pleasant Lake, Loeb She1drake,
Alton Lake and White Lake.
Aside from the delightful scenery
and well kept roads of this locality,
it is fact which the experience of
years has demonstrated, that the
air circulating among the hills and
valleys is possessed of curative
| properties that render the exist
ence of pulmonary or bronchial
difficulties next to an impossibility.
The value of this region for cool,
dry air and pure spring water is
now recognized by leading physi-
clans and tourists who, having once
visited this resort, are certain to
return for many successive seasons.

for the Township of Fallsburgh,

LIBERTY.
This is one of the most popular
summer resorts in Sullivan Co.,
situated 1878 feet above tide water,
still in the valley of the middle
Mongaup, around which the
glistening steel of the railway track
winds in almost a true line of
beauty, on its upward climb, two
miles beyond, to the summit be-
tween the blue lake, Indian named
Ontario, and the sea. To the north
of the village lies range of hills,
more than 1000 feet high, dappled
with fields and woods, where the
cosy farm house nestles, and up
whose sides the gardens climb.
Westward lies Walnut Mountain,
from whose summit eleven lakes.
cleaning like silver shields in an
emerald setting, may be seen with
the naked eye. From this coign
of vantage the vision may range
from the wood-capped peaks of
Pennsylvania to the crags of the
Catskills. The high altitude, with
its cool, health-imparting breezes,
combine to make Liberty very
desirable as summer home. The
walks and drives about the country
are beautiful and romantic. For
all those who desire to pass vaca-

air and water, with fresh and
bountiful dairy products, amid
streams and ponds we'll stocked
with trout and bass, upland and
marsh with whirring partridge and
silent woodcock, we would suggest
their locating in one of the quiet
farm houses which abound in this
region.
One of the most liberal houses in
Liberty is the Liberty House. This
house is pleasantly situated and is
always full of guests. Mr.. T. H.
Houlihan is a genial good natured
man and very popular, and his
house will accommodate 90 guests;
