The Rep lblican News Item is the
only live home newspaper publish
cd in the county. There are larger
sheets, with city printed outsides,
fac-similes of hundred other news
papers, and filled up with clippings
from old dailies. They are out of
date. The News Item is full of fresh
spicy news from nearly every village
in the county. In politics it is not a
hireling. 1t stands by the principles
of the Republican party as anuncia-
ted in National, State and County
Conventions. 1t believes in the
great party which saved the nation
from disruption, which has brought
to the people uneXampled prosperi-
ity, and filed the National Golfers
with gold and silver. We insist up
on an economical administration of
county affairs, and make it uncom-
Portable for those who are making
money by running the county in
debt. To our subscribers we give IA
newspaper worth double the sub
scription price, and no man who
wants to keep posted in county af-
fairs can to do without it.

The 18th annual reunion of the
5Sth Penn. Vet. Vol. was held at
this place on Monday with thir-
teen members of the Regiment, no
doubt but the disagreeable weather
kept some Of the old boys away.
The business meeting was held in
the Court House and was called to
order by Joseph Hested, president
of the association. After the pre-
liminary business had been compile
ted, the following comrades were
elected officers of the association
for the ensuing year: For Pres.
Jos. Hested of New Albany; Vice
Pres. G. Henly, New Albany; Sec.
and Treas. John M. Jones, Frank
Gndale. A committee was appoint
ed to draft resolutions on the
death of Lieut.. N. A. McKnown,
and the same to be spread upon
the minutes of the association.
Williamsport was selected for the
next place of meeting after which
the meeting adjourned to meet at
the campfire to be held in the
Court House at 1870 p. m.
The court room was well filled,
there being about 500 people pres
cnt, and the evening was spent
with music and addresses until a
late hour, and more ENJOYABLE
meeting we have never had.
The town was beautifully deco
rated. Free entertainment was
provided by the patriotic people of
Laporte; and everything was done
to make our meeting one of pleas
ure and we hope one of profit to
all. Too much cannot be said in
praise of the hospitality extended
to us by these people. A more ex-
tended account of the campfire
will be published in a later issue of
this paper.
