Jennings Bros. Of Lopez give en-
ployment TO one or two hundred men
daily. One of this firm, b. W. Jen-
nings is the peoples candidate for
Member. He is progressive young
man and one that is deserving of the
support of the Sullivan county peo-
pie. Their saw mill is one of the
largest industries in the county.
With this mill closed, how would it
effect Lopez ? Why, the business
there would almost come to a stand
still. All will admit this. Have you
considered the fact too, that the
Jennings Bros. pay out in wages,
eight OF ten thousand dollars, month,
ly 7 and that they pay fourteen hun
dred dollars county tax !? Messrs.
Jennings gave County Treasurer,
A. L, Smith q check of this amount
one day recently, which only settled
that part of their tax due the ooun-
ty. In addition to this they pay o
large school, road and poor tax. Ar,

The fact that Messrs. Auten and
McDevitt, Democratic Congressional
Conferees of Northumberland coun-

make Mr.. Buckalew's nomination
unanimous in their conference, is of
much significance in Northumber-
land county. 1t may appear of no
consequence to our people, but the

There is a suspicion abroad that
some of the honest sheep raisers in
Lycoming county are playing a
game upon the county that would do
credit to heather Chinee. 1t is
alleged that when a sheep is killed
the auditors are informed. They see
the sheep appraise it and go away,
but while the auditors are turning
out of the lane, the owner of another
flock of sheep will take the dead
animal to his home, summon the
auditors, have it appraised and re-
ceive the money from the commits
sloners. Then one or two other men
do likewise, until finally the county
pays out about $40 dollars for that
one sheep,

Their Backbone Broken.

The side walks along West Mey-
lert street are in a frightfully dilapi-
dated condition and our Town
Council should order them rebuilt at
once, and if the owners of the lots
refuse to build that part along their
property in accordance with the
Borough Ordinance, the council
should take the matter in hand andf
do the work and collect the cost for
the same of the lot owners, as was
done by a former Board-of the
Finch estate and of Mrs. Nancy
Hill on Muncy and Cherry streets.
The people owning lots on West
Meylert street should receive the
same treatment, one tax payer is no
better in this respect than another
and if our Town Council had little
backbone our town would possess a
much better appearance and our
walks much less dangerous to walk
upon.
