Every Citizen of LapOrte Should
Cut This Out and Paste IL
I'm HIS Hat.

The man who isn't in love with
his town is destitute of that public
spirit which is a characteristic of
every genuine American. He lives
without enjoying life and after his
final journey to the cemetery has
been made his memory is not long
cherished save by a few faithful
souls whose love blinded them to
his selfishness. One should always
reserve considerable place in ones
affections for the town of which he
is 4 resident. One should be inter
ested In Its progress, fertile in ex-
pedients to benefit it, and thorough.
ly convinced that it is the best town
in the whole world. That in the
reason why so many of our western
towns have such an astonishing
growth. The people want to win
material success, but they are vain
enough to know that the town must
make It's own way it they are TO sue
ceed. There Is room ia some eastern
towns for little more of that push,
ing spirit Of local patriotism.

Chief Justice Fuller has, as you
already know, declared that we
shall have Sunday fair, if we want
it. A great many church people
are up in arms over the decision and
u great many others are rejoicing.
The deed is done, and its effect must
come with time. Whether it will be
good or bad will rest largely with
sightseers themselves.
The weather last week was in
clined to he rather warm, and few
eases OF prostration were reported,
but the provision made to take care
of those overcome By the heat is
ample, and the hospital arrange.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In your last issue

Mr.. EDITOR I'm your last issue
I noticed a short article in regard
to the proposed road from Forks
willie to Laporte, along the Loyal
Sock Greek. The article was timely
and has brought the matter to the
attention of the supervisors OF the
different districts through which the
road passes. Your readers would
perhaps be interested in knowing
Just what has been done at this end
of the road. The portion of it lying
in Forksville Boro. has been made
for nearly two years, and is now in
excellent condition for travel. About
the middle of May last the road
commissioners of Forks township,
let a portion of their road extend
ing from the Forksville Boro. line
to the "World's End" 440 rods in
all, to Mr.. Henry Holtzower, of
Hillsgrove, at $3.50 per rod. Mr..
Holtzower expects to begin work
upon it about the middle of July
and will probably be able to finish
it in five or six weeks. After this is
done the next work will be the
building of the county bridge at
"World's End" The county COM
missioners should be in readiness to
proceed with it's construction just
as soon as possible so as not to de-
lay the road. This bridge will be
ITO feet in length. In your last is
sue you state that the portion of the
road in Laporte Boro. and Laporte
i ,township is nearly all completed.
Whatever remains to be done should
be done as soon as possible. Shrews-
bury township then is the only dis
trict that has as yet made no move
in the matter. Their portion of the
road is, we understand, about one
and one-half miles, or about the
same amout as Forks township has
already let. Shrewsbury should not
be kept waiting by any delay in the
bridges over Mill Greek and Pole
Bridge Greek in Laporte township,
as these are small structures and can
1,okh 1o h,,.1t Il, xxanIy fnn
Neither should Shrewsbury keep the
other districts from immediate use
of the road as soon as the ends are
completed. In fact the best way is
for one district not to wait for the
others at all to go to acork at once
and build its part. The road has
been ordered open by the court,
and why this summer is not i'm
proved by the various districts in
opening it is strange. If the entire
road is not well under way by Sept.
term of court, we fancy that Judge
Sittser will have something to say to
the road commissioners in all these
districts that may keep them busy
with pick and shovel at time when
the weather will not be so favorable
as it now is. The road should be
ready for use before snow flies, and
as the disposition of the Court Is
we'll known in the matter, it would
be best not to incur His Honor's
displeasure by further contempt of
his orders.

The New Constable Fee Law.

Under the law passed by the late
Legislature of Pennsylvania and ap-
proved by the Governor, corstables
can charge the following fees as in
creased above what they were form-
erly Serving warrants, increased
from so cents to 81; subpmnaing
witnesses, increased from 25c to SOC;
mileage 6 to 10 cents. These increas-
ed charges conform to the fees
charged by constables in Philadel-
phia and are now made applicable to
all counties in the state.
The directors and stockholders of
the Lake Mokoma Land Company
met at Laporte for the purpose of
transacting much business, on
Wednesday,. What they did, was
to convey to the officials of the w.
& N. B. r r., a sufficient quantity
of their land to build switches and
erect depot on. 1t would appear
that business is slack in these
Williamsport fellows. In fact there
are too many people connected in
this enterprise, hence, their views of
improvements do not jibe.
The postal scrip will soon take
the place of the postal note now in
use. The postal note costs three
cents, and carries any amount up to
SIS, while in the scrip sheet calling
for amounts from one cent to So has
been prepared, from which, on pay
ment of one cent, the amount of
money to be sent by mail to any
part of the United States may be
torn off the same as an express
order. There will be no writing on
it OF any kind by the postmaster,
the sender endorsing the check draft.
The government guarantees its safe
transportation.
