the Sullivan county fair. BE sure to
add something to its exhibits. Each
person in the county can contribute
to either its success or failure. Don't
conduce to the latter.
Rev. f.. II. Powell has accept
ed a charge at Warrensville and
will move to that place in the
near future. The best wishes of
many friends go with him.
All three of the candidates on
the Republican state ticket are
sons of ministers of the gospel,
but it is not expected that the
fact will be urged by the DEM
0crats as good cause for voting
Trying to overcome the pref
udice of an ignorant person is like
trying to turn shallow stream
into new channel--by the time
you have changed the current the
water is wasted.
With Organism feeding on
populism and calamity, it would
seem that Kansas, with her 30O,-
0OO,00 to 400,000,000 bushel
corn crop, worth at least $780,
600, 900, cannot be considered
even among the "possible" states
for the candidate.
Wage earners in all parts OF
the country are receiving advances,
and the farmers, this year are sell
ing their live stock and produce at
price that enables them to pay
off that Cleveland mortgage. Are
we not RIGHT?
The coming Fair at Hughesville
Sept. 10, 20, q and - will be one of
the largest and best fairs ever held
in Lycoming county. There will be
balloon ascentions and parachute
drops each day, rope walking, trick
bicycle riding, and many other
amuSements. The famous Fisk
Military band will be present. The
exhibits will be more numerous than

Laporte's streets for time We're
filled with strollers, visiting the
court house and business places,
and making themselves generaly

patriots willing to sacrifice them
selves to fill all the offices even if the
court house is dangerous to health
and life.
Logic prove, and experience
will also prove the inaccuracy Dem
ocratic anti-expansion views, as
thoroughly as both logic and eXper-
ience have proved the inaccuracy of
the Democratic expansion views on
the currency question. Three years
ago the Democrats were expansion
lists, and events have since proved
the utter fallacy of their theories.
Now they are anti-eXpansionists,
and time will as completely

So" "The NEWS ITEM is Il good
paper. ."-RecieW. Yes,it is not only
a good paper, but it is the greatest
