Is A YOUNG MANS COUNTY.

Is A YOUNG MANS COUNTY.
Some Of the Examples of Enterprise
Shown by the Young Blood That Courses
Through This Young County's Veins.
Anthracite.
Ever since the organization Of Lacka-
wanna county, it has practically been
a young mans county. Let us pause |
awhile on the threshold of the new
year to look up the "Lackawanna gos-
lings' who have figured conspicuously |
before they had their tail feathers ma
tured. AS to the baby of the house."
we find four entitled to that distinction,
beginning with Hon. Martin f. LynOtt,
and continuing since with Hon. NJ. f.
Sando, Hon. John p. Kelly, and Hon.
Charles p. O'Malley. All of these have
had an opportunity to show what they
could do, except the last mentioned.
and from present evidences he will be
a worthy successor of the other bright
babies whom Lachawanna has sent to
THE state legislature.
The, ablest among them Is Hon. John
p. Kelly, the present district attorney
of this county, and, by the way, the
leading criminal lawyer at the bar,
While yet a comparatively young man.
Hon. M +. Sando made an excellent
member and was considered the most
popular representative during his term.
Hon. M. F. Lynott was not only the
baby of the house" but he was the
youngest representative that ever took
the oath of Office, going into the legisla-
ture on his twenty-first birthday. He
was a young man of sterling abilities.
Hon. John r. Farr, though not entitled
to be classed among the babies, Is
comparatively young man, and has
earned a reputation as legislator not
surpassed by any of the representa-
tves of the state.
Youngsters in the Senate.
In THE senate Lackawanna has also
bsen represented by young men who
might have been styled "Lackawanna
goslings." Observation-Disclosures Watt
res was young man when sent to the
senate. He was succeeded by another
young man In the person of ex-senator
Mcdonald, who, in turn, gave up his
Vaughan. Mcdonald and Watres have
shown excellent ability, and the latter
was justly considered a strong man on
the floor and in committee work Sena-
tor Vaughan needs but the opportunity
to show he has both the ability and en-
ergy to hold ,the place of his worthy
predecessors. So much for the "Lacka-
wanna goslngs" who have figured In
the state parliament with ability not
to be disparaged, and no doubt to be
envied by many men of maturer years.
Youngsters at the Bar.
Lackawanna Is not only a young
mans county in political sense. In
other senses the fact holds good. 1t
has THE distinction of being the young
est county in the state, too. Its bar
in the point of the personnel of its
members. Is the youngest and brightest
in the state. Where Is there a county
that can boast among ITS civil law
yers one SO young and able as Major
Warren? Where can a leading crimi-
nal lawyer the equal In ability and pro-
fessional acumen of John p. Kelly be
found? Nowhere in this state can these
professional gentlemen be paired in
their respective branches of the law.
Theyare models whioh the ether young
menpers OF 'ne par or this county
enula'e' ana ah consequence Lacka-
"ahia c@'i ooast oi she prlghtest and
youngest bar in the commonwealth.
On the bench distinction has been won
