Messrs. Richard P. Hughes, Walter I.
Stewart, William f. Morgan and Will
liam II. Absalom paid us visit on
Wednesday, and looked us over pretty
thoroughly. They mentally tried to
solve the political enigma which our
township presents, viz: Democratic
community which invariably votes the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Hughes inquired
of George Bozarth the reason for such
state of affairs, and was promptly in
formed, it was because there were no
Irfshmen in the township. Richard +.
expressed surprise, stating he never IN
all his experience heard of community
lacking Irish control before. "Oh, for
man here" 'sWell," remarked w. II.
Absaiom. what does be do for living?'
"Oh," replied George, 'she is simply our
| Justice of the peace, supervisor, enumera-
| tor of census, medical inspector of the
township schools, correspondent for the
associated press, and in all probability
will be our next township tax collector. y
To which w. F. Morgan replied, good
night, nurse"
A little furry of excitement has per
meated the ranks of our local sports. Ii

illegal, desire to collect bounties, and
whilst many affidavits are on file show
ing the holocaust of fox ears that were
Offered up, several disgruntled insiders
feeling peevish over division OF spolls
are casting very grave doubts on our re
CARDS for sworn testimony. In fact, thei
language is rude, though otherwise elo
Iquently picturesque of the Judicia
methods which have obtained here dur
ing the last decade.
In addition to our other local bids 70
fame our real estate transactions stant
tout LUMINOSITY. Land absolutely worth
less has been exploited in the large
cities, and in language as perfervid as
seedsman's catalog, we have told of tn
golden opportunities which awaited in
vestors in our soil. Actually lots hav
been sold to illiterate laborers for price
ranging from 500 to $500 each, an,
whilst those swindling activities hav'
obtained during the past twelve years,
is not on record that any unfortunat
. victim has ever been able to obtain re
dress. The immunity which thos
, wolfish brigands enjoyed is a grave re
Election on those responsible for the dc
spoilment of the unwary. Recently

A curious example of our posts
methods was strixingly exemplified hel
$ recently. The completed census repo

e tress for mailing to the state division

I concerning written matter, she demand

then delivered to the express company

and accepted by the express companie

r ditions that would make brass monke
