A CHANGE.
The firm of Alexander it Woodliouse has
undergone n change In persons, but not In
name. Lesser Alexander has sold his Inter
est In the tobacco store to his brother, Oscar,
and the business will be conducted titular the'
old firm name. Since coinhiir to lilooms-
burg, these gentlemen have, by their Indus
try and fair dealing, established a large trade,
and It Is rapidly increasing. Two wagons
nre kept constantly on the road. The patrons
of the old firm will find In the new the same
courtesy and attention. A very large stock
of tobacco, cigars, pipes, candies, nuts nnd
fruits is kept constantly on hand, and offered
at astonishingly low prices.
The Opera house was fairly tilled last Fri
day evening, to witness the entertainment
given by the Lamont and Canfleld paiitnmino
company. flic I.anionts are really good
acrobats and their feats called forth deserved
applause. Canfleld Is an amusing specialist
and gave satisfaction. There is not much to
be said of the other members of the troupe,
all ot whom were possessed of the most feeble
accomplishments. The singing was poor
and the acting infeiior. There was a deal
too much of Ilogan In the programme and
he could be profitably eliminated from the
bill. It is marvelous how such a company
manages to exist, as It has almost uothini
to recommend it to theatre-goers.
Through a misunderstanding, no notice
was made in the Columbian of the death of
Hattie L. daughter of Ex-Sheriff Mordecal
Millard, which sad event occurred on the
11th Inst., at the residence of Sir. John Hoff
man In Light Street. She was a very bright,
interesting and lovable child, eight years of
age, and was the Idol of her parents. Her
death was sudden and unexpected and
brought great grief to the household. Mr.
and Mrs. Millard have lost four children and
the taking away of their youngest daughter
was a terrible afllictiou. They have the sin
cere sympathy of their many friends In the
county. The funeral services were held on
the 13th in Lightstreet, and the remains were
brought to this town and interred in the
Rosemont Cemetery. Only those who have
loved and lost n household darling can ap
preciate how keenly the parents suffer.

Iloworth's Comedy and Grand Hilicrnicn
will appear at the Opera House on Thursday
evening, November Slid, with new scenery,
new costumes and new specialty people. Our
theatre goers are familiar with the entertain,
racnts given by the company, nnd it is only
necessary to state that the manager promises
a better show than ever. For many years
the Hiberuica has piovcd a success in this
part of the State, and with a company even
better than before, there seems to bu no rea
son why it should not give satisfaction this
time. Tickets at popular prices 2.'!, !W and

tains an article pertaining tothe bands of thu
county and the band contest at the Columbia
County Fair held at llloomsburg from Octo
ber 12ih to tliu 15th. It says: "The Cata
wissa Silver Cornet Baud attended the fair at
Bloomsburg on Friday last to compete for thu
prize offered for the best band in the county.
Fuge's Cornet Band, of Buckliorn, thu Espy
Cornet Baud, and the Benton Cornet Band
were upon the grounds, but none of them
possessed sutllclent backbone to meet the
Catawissa band in the contest. Thu boys
were jubilant over their easy victory, hut
would have preferred winning the prize by a
contest." It could scarcely be expected that
the bands present on the day ot the contest
would enter, being nil young bauds. Tliu
Catawissa Cornet Baud are nearly all old 11111.
slclans. If there was not sullihicnt baekbonu
1111 the fair ground to meet thu Catawissa
band In the contest, they will tlnd plenty out
side; and also an opportunity to win their
laurels by n contest as they seem, to prefer It
to thu "easy victory," and hand you the fol
lowing letter for publication which was for
warded to the Catawissa band about 0110
year ago, as your readers will please notice
by the date. To this writing no answor has
been received. Should this lead to a contest
the big man from Catawissa cannot whisper
love In the judges' ears lids time, and should
judges be chosen they must be niuslcliins.aud

not tell the coirect key to a simple choral

prised nt receiving tills communication from

challenge the Catawissa Silver Cornet Banil
to n friendly contest, all necessary arrange
