farmer.

or late it has been rumored that
the coal mine on the Jackson lands,
partly in Cherry and Colley twps.,
would be opened this summer. The
report is not correct, rs Supt. Blight
saws the mines will not be opened,
and as the Bernicc Coal Company
owns part of the land on which
the vein of coal exists, he knows
from whence he speaks. We are
sorry that Mr.. Blight has thus de-
cided, as the opening of the mine
and the mining Of the coal would
give employment to many hundred
workmen,

A preacher came to newspaper
man in this way: "You editors dare
not tell the truth. If you did, you
could not live; your newspaper
would be tailure." The editor re-
piled: ''You are right; and the min.
lister who will at all times and under
all circumstances tell the whole truth
about his members alive or dead,
will not occupy his pulpit more than
one Sunday, and then he will find it
necessary to leave town in a hurry.
The press and pulpit go hand in
hand with whitewash brushes and
pleasant words, magnifying little
virtues into big ones, The pulpit,
the pen and the gravestone are the
great saint making triumvirate." +"
And the great minister went away
looking very thoughtful, while the
editor turned to his work and told
about the surprising beauty of the
bride, while, in fact she was as home
ly as q hedge fence.

Borough Expenses.

The statement Of the receipts and
expenditures of Laporte boro. for
the year 1894 as published elsewhere
shows the total expenses to be $751;
II. A very large portion of this
was expended on the streets, which
is all right, but with the sidewalk
crossings and our streets in good
repair, can't we do with less this
year? Previous to the high license
law, our Council got along very nice
ly and kept our streets in equally as
good repair as they are to~day, with
a total tax of about $3.50. The
license money for this year as shown
by the statement is $342. 1t now
requires the tax and the license
money to accomplish what was done
by the tax money alone only a few
years ago. just how this comes
about is a mystery to the people.
'Tis true the borough's indebtedness,
is very small-$l295 SO, but it will be
noticed that the license moneys for
1895 is among the resources. A
very large percentage of our taxpay-
ers entertain the opinion that the
license money should be expended
this year in paying of debts.
The council should pass resolution
to this end and enforce il. This
would almost erase our liabilities SO
far as borrowed money Is concerned
and would be very popular act on
the part of our council.

The borough statement shows a
resource of SIG "sidewalk claim"
due from somebody. This money
was collected by Atty. q. M. Dun
ham some years ago of Mrs. A. G.
Hill. 1t is claimed by Mr.. Durham
that he paid it by boro. order to the
Treasurer of the boro., at that time
Mr.. James McFarlane. The lat
ter has no recollection of receiving
it. Durham failed to take receipt
of McFarlane, but is positive that he
gave him the order and has made
oath to that effect. This money
should be paid into the boro. fund
by the proper person and if the de-
linquent was poor man, it would
be collected at all hazard. We say
it is only justice to the people and
tax payers that the council proceed
and collect it.

Lycoming county will be 100
years old next Saturday, April l3.
The day will be observed by the
blowing of whistles, ringing Of bells
and at - m. all assemblages in ses-
sion will sing, "My Country Ills of
Thee" etc.
During her existence, Lycoming
county has contributed a part of
territory for the formation of eigh-
teen counties of this Commonwealth.
Among this list is Sullivan Co.,
which was taken from Lycoming,
April 1S47. When we have grown
as old as Lycoming, our farming
lands perhaps will be equally as
valuable. During the 50 years that
Lycoming owned our land she made
no improvements within our borders,
and it was only after we were sever
ed from her skirts that improve
ments were commenced. Our pio>
neers were principally Of Susque>
hanna county and Philadelphia.
There were but few people of Ly>
coming county proper, who joined
our forefathers in Staying the dense
forest of little Sullivan. Our age is
less than half century and we think
we have progressed faster, viewing
it from proportional standpoint
than has our neighbor county. They
have 167 churches; we have 80.
Lycoming has 233 school buildings;
we have 9l. Considering the fact
that Lycoming covers 1918 square
miles and Sullivan 434, we come to
the conclusion that Sullivan county
has made greater progress accordig-
ly during her As years Of existence
than has our neighbor county during
her 100 years.
The centennial celebration Of Ly-
coming will take place in Williams
sport on July Sd, 4th, and 5th, to
which a general invitation is extend
led to the people ofSulliYan county.

To Facilitate Tax Collectors.

Mr.. Wyatt of Schuylkill, is the

1t provides that receivers and col
lectors shall furnish each person on
payment of taxes with numbered
receipt, setting forth date, names
amount of tax and district in which
tax is assessed from a book contains
ing stub, and that on the stub a
memorandum shall be made in ink
of the same. That ten days before
each collection the receiver or coll
Iector shall send sheet to the Office
of the county commissioners contain
ing duplicate. The first report
shall be for taxes received on or
after June lst, 1895. The commis>
sioners are required to have the re-
ports bound and kept for the inspec.
ton of the public. This would be a
big accommodation to political COM
mittees in ascertaining the names
of persons qualified to vote.
