The Lake Mokoma Land Company should erect a bathing house at Lake Mokoma. This Company is somewhat slack in the way of enterprise, anyway. They have invested but little money during the past few years in the way of improvement down there. The Williamsport parties interested, are opposed to progress. Fr.

Martin, of Overton, Fr. Hanley, of Towanda, and Fr. Sandaal, of Athens, all old college friends of Fr. Enright, visited him at Laporte on Monday and took a look at the site for the new Catholic Church. They were loud in their praise of the selection of the site, and after examining the plans pronounced them the finest they had ever seen.

Poor Strebv of Grandmother, has another fit. Tiiis tune it was occasioned by our article showing him up in the matter of the corner stone for the new Reformed Church at Dushore. His ranting about the REPUBLICAN gives us no concerne, but we think it was hardly decent for him to throw mud at his honorable competitor for the oflice of Representative and to accuse him of being a heeler and boodler. Such attacks will do you more harm than good, Georgle, for every one knows that Mr. Farrell is an honest, intelligent and decent man, Japan and China have had a fallen out and are, going to war about it.

The dispute is over the Corealsland, both countries claim possession of the island, which is about twice as large as the State of Pennsylvania. A war in Japan and China perhaps will make better times in Pennsylvania. Something dreadful must occur to make up for the deficiency of our Democratic administration. All Olliee Centralia, Columbia county, is a town without a tax collector. Both the Town Council aiul the School Board have combined their efforts to secure a collector, but no one wants tjje job.

The lawful compensation is 110 inducement, and it is believed that 10 per cent, will have to be allowed before a collector can be obtained. In the mean time the borough treasury is depleted and the oflicials are in a quandry. This is quite different from the situation in Sullivan county. Our people resort to law for the collectoruhip. The Germania excursion of Towanda passed through Laporte at about 10 a.

m. Wednesday. There were about six hundred people aboard. The V. crew brought them as far as Satterfleld where the N.

B. crew and engines, No. 5 and 7 met them and transported them over our road to Sonestown- There were two sections. No. 5 took the lead, she had attached to her ocoaches and they were filled to overflowing.

No. 1 had teu coaches, but they were not all Oiled. The Y. M. C.

A. ball It-am went through on the regular. It was a gala (lay for the excursionists, judging from the smiles that branched out on their faces as they parsed through Laporte, liiNlltiile. The Teachers' Normal Institute will be held at Dugliore, commencing Monday, August 13, at 1:30 p. and will continue in session one month.

K. W.

MEYLCKT, Supt. Laporte, Pa, July 23, 1 Mr. and Mrs, Judge Ingham, Mr. and Mrs. E.

P. Ingham and Mr. and Mrs. F. 11.

Ingham and little daughter Eunice, are spending the week with friends in Wyalusing and Sugar Run. Wotk on the uew courthouse is progressing nicely. The bricklayers have the first story laid and also the second story on the cast side. Generally speaking, the people like the plan of the building very much. The old hoard of county commissioners will get their just dues in the end.

The date of the cauipmceting of colored people of Williamsport at Lake has been fixed. It is to commence on Saturday the 4th day of August and continue for ten days. Rev. Mr. Johnson of Williamssport, accompanied by a minister ol Towanda, were in Laporte Thursday making arrangements.

We understand that the colored people ol Towanda, will take part in the meet ings. Wo were busy in our job department last week doing paper books. We did one in the case of: August L. Smith, Treasurer of Sullivan County, Plaintiff; vs. John Farrell and Gabriel Litzelman, two of the County Commissioners of Sullivan County, Defendants.

A. J. Bradley, attorney for plaintiff. The case was brought by Smith and is relative to commission allowed him for moneys paid out as Co. Treasurer.

A destructive forest fire swept over Dutch Mountain in the vicinity ol Ricketts last week, doing damage to hundreds of acres of standing timber and burning thousands of logs ready for the mill. The Dorsey lutnbei camp and another house and barn closo by were consumed in the flames. Several buildings owneJ by Trexell Terrell were also consumed. The loss of the standing timoer will be felt to a great extent, by the lumbermen in the vicinity of Lopez. The Eagles Mere base ball team took the early morning train on Friday last en-route to The object of their visit to tiie me tropolis of Bradford, was, fo knock out the Y.

C. A. team. They were doomed to disappointment, however. The result of this union was: Y.

M. C. A. 17 scores; Eagles Mere 13- The 'Mere boys claim that three of their regulars were not in the thatch and that when they come together they will make it more than interesting for the Towanda boys. Streby, of Grand zcttc, appears to think that all the Democratic leaders in the county are heelers and boodlers.

This is pretty hard on Karns, Walsh, Smith, Flynn, Murray, Gallagher, Phillips, Tonkin, Parrel 1, Speaker, Wright, Caseman and a number of other gentlemen, who have always been considered by the people of the county to be good men and trun. If Grandmother is to lie relied upon the only good men in the Democratic party are, Streby, himself and the man who writes his editorials. Mr. Chas. Stewart of Clearfield, who spent several weeks with his son, D.

M. Stewart of the Laporte Hotel, this summer, has evidently given the boys down thero a great big "stifT," regarding the wilds of Sullivan. The Clearfield Journal publishes his well gotten up story, wherein be relates a big hear and two catamounts in one day. Great Scott we do not believe there are a half dozen men in the county who can boast of killing two bear in one day. There are some bear here but I hey are not as plenty as ail this He speaks of catching suckers, this is true, we have them in abundance.

The old gentleman, without doubt, ''winked the other when he cut lose from the reporter. The Lawrence Bros, of Dushore, were awarded the contract of erecting the new Catholic church at this place, on Monday and broke ground for the same on Wednesday, The structure will be of wood and will bo 40 by 05 feet, Tho height of the spire will be 16 feet. The location is on West Park street; one of the finest sites for a church or a dwelling In our town. The force of carpenters now at work on the Troy courthouse, under the supervision of tho Lawrence will have said building completed, HO far as the carpenter work is concerned, and ivady for the plasterers by the middle of next week, when they will come to Laporte and assist to erect church. It will be a neat and pretty edifice, one that all of us can feel proud of.

Fr, Km iglit, who was the leading spirit in Ibis enterprise, will spend a good part of lime ut Laporte, in close consultation with the contractors, during its couatructiou. 2G2H17 The Loyal Temperance Legion atul Vs. of Forksville, will hold an entertainment, followed a Millinery Soeial, Saturday evening, July in the hull over the store of G.
