Think Before You vote.

MR.. ED1ToR.-As Republican and
heavy tax payer we would like to state a
few things. Now 1t has been told that the
Republican candidate for commissioner
promised to do all in his power to build a
bridge across the Lackawaxen If the people
would support him We have been told
that said bridge would cost nearly $4,000.
Now should we vote for a candidate who
is so willing to load several thousand dol
lars on the county to get an office. If you
are not willing to vote for candidate that
would be influenced in a corrupt way vote
for Mr.. Bortree who win pledge himself to
nothing except such interest as are for the
public welfare. Mr.. Bortree is a clean man
who does not stoop to low dirty work to
get an office and if elected he would serve
the county with clean hands.
We believe any man that will seek office
by the use of beer or Doodle is not fit for
the office. Every man should seek Office
in respectable way such as a clean man
should not be ashamed of in aft er years IL
known to the public.
Thank you Mr.. Editor for your exposure
of some of their dirty ways we hope you
VIII sUdnu by your cOlOrs until some of
these low methods can be stopped ana Pix g
county politics raised to higher moral
plain. Throw in your thunderbolts and
the respectable people viii stand by you.
Now fellow citizens let us rise above a
glass of beer or a good supper and vote for
a man of principle, one who will be careful
of the county funds and be the means of
lessening taxes by careful expenditures.
We have no interest in Mr.. Bortrees cleo
tion save knowing that he is a careful con
scientious man and would be a careful
officer
We believe every man who spends several
hundred dollars to gain an office will try
to pilfer the public at every chance to get
it back
Fellow citizens please think it over and
see if we are right and If so please vote for
Mr.. Bortree and not only vote for him but
work for him, get your neighbor also to
vote for him. Let us elect man that we
know will not lower the standard of county
commissioner and public morals.
HEAVY TAX PAYER.

GREENE. Oct. 27. 1895.

0hhENEi OCb ~, 1870.
EDITOR PREss-I observe in your paper
the card of Hon. John A. Kipp announ-
cling him a candidate for County Treasurer
under the head of Peoples party. Some
may ask is he entitled to the suffrages of
the people? He was twice elected to the
Legislature, and that is the only office he
has direct from the people. During his
first session he drew and succeeded in pass
ing a law giving the right to citizens to
catch eels in all the state waters. This
was vetoed by Governor Pattison. 1 am
informed Mr.. Editor that after the veto
you was requested to get copy of the bill
and send it to Albany, that you done so,
and that it is the same act under which
the people of that State are to-day taking
these fish by means of weirs. Mr. Kipp
certainly performed his full share in OBJ
tanning the passage of the law here. He
also procured the repeal of the act giving
collectors 81 for each return on seated
lands. The returns were often more thau
the total taxes and the collectors were
not anxious to collect them.
In the session of 1895 his course was
the interests of his constituents, and he
made clean and honorable record He
was largely instrumental aided by the
Susquehanna member in passing bill in
the House giving to Pike and Susque-
hanna the $4,000 annually paid by the
Erie to the State, and which has been so
paid since 1S42. There were 145 votes re-
corded in favor of and against the bill.
1t passed the Senate and went to the Gov
ernOr but he vetoed it on the ground that
it would establish precedent for other
counties. This was weak excuse for
there is no other bonus" act in the State
similar to this. Had the bill become a
law the people of this county would to-
day be greatly relieved of taxation. The
people might have done well to have
elected Mr.. Kipp again this year and given
him another opportunity to work for the
people. He has shown himself the peo-
ple's friend and it is only proper that they
should now give him their support for
Treasurer. G.

Brother Deming built at the parsonage.
Why not include the churches at Haines-
Vile and Layton. They both really need
a good coat of outside white.
The loose stones in the roads should be
thrown out once a month. The law says
so, it is a good law, why not enforce It..
Our roads that might be made a pleasure
to ride over, are made a torture by the pre-
sence Of these small stones. Let those who
are interested, pun up few overseers and
make it plain to them that the law is not
optional, but obligatory
What fine fall weather we are enjoying
A bracing air, and brilliant sunshine out
doors, buckwheats and trimmings within.
What more do mortals want here belowY
The choir at Layton is rapidly progress
sing in the higher branches OF sacred mu-
sic, and the delicious melody is drawing
full congregations 1t is a very attractive
and pleasant feature of the regular Sunday
services, and the marked ability of the or
ganist is fully recognized and appreciated.
Rev. G. w. Deming was an enthusiastic
tree planter and put out two fine maple
trees at the parsonage while ON this pas
torate he became much attached to them
and it is said affectionately named them.
We suggest that they be carefully wrapped
with'stra and protected against the win
try blasts Perhaps when they get large
enough to tap it will turn out as brother
Deming fondly hoped, that they will flow
pure buttermilk.
Interest in our Sunday school should
not be allowed TO flag because the weather
is getting little cool. The attendance
last Sabbath was rather light, and but one
teacher ON deck. We hope this good work
will be carried forward with more vigor i'm
the near future. There was never more
need of missionary work in this neighbor-
hood than now Xxx

TOPEKA, Kan. Sept 5.-United States
District Judge c. G. Foster this fore
noon, upon the application OF tho
Girard Life Insurance Annuity and
Trust company of Philadelphia placed
the ]. B. Watkins Land and Mortgage
company of Lawrence in the hands of
II. Summer6eld and j. b. Watkins of
Lawrence and John F. Switzer of To-
peka as receivera The liabilities arc
81, 500, 900, consisting chiefly of de-
benture mortgages on Kansas, Ne
braska. Iowa and Texas farms
The particular claim upon which
suit was instituted was for $4s: 900
debenture bonds, upon which the in
terest has been defaulted since ls95.
Sam Bishop of Lawrence, attorney for
the company, says the assets will very
nearly cover the liabilities.
The company has been struggling
for its existence for eight or ten
years. In 1883 it was put INTO a re-
ownership. but five years later it was
turned over to its owners again, with
Mr.. Watkins as president. But fnan-
cial conditions were not favorable,
and now it will probably be wound
up Its debentures are mostly held in
the East and in Europe.
