sign of the great impression which this
undoubted strength has made upon the

Attorney John Il. Ceilings. who in

the following schedules of claims
against the township: Claims in judg

the county commissioners office the as
ScSsed valuation of Lackawanna town
ship for the year 1899 was $l,27l 49O
and the valuation of Taylor borough
for 1894 was S443.237.
Mr.. Ceilings finds that Taylor bor-
ough should bear that share of the debt
of the township that the valuations of
the remainder of the township and the
borough bear to each other. He COM
putes that the indebtedness of the
township is properly chargeabe to
Taylor borough ut the rate of 2a11S,

Both Hoke and Fortney invited
and urged them to take dinner with
them (out of pure friendship and

divided their support, Scherr Is for
Hoke and Shaffer for Fortney. But
this is getting away from our text.
We will give a chapter on the

The funniest thing about the

are first cousins also, while Bro.
White is for Lenhart, first, last and

divided against itself. 1t will be
funny to read what it says on the

it won't. We suggest to our breth-
