The Stale Normal School of this district,
at llloomsburg, has outgrown its buildings.
Tho trustees have been obliged to tnko
steps to provide four more recitation rooms,
and for the Model School more commodi

rcnnsylvanla's lumber city docs not

chief Industry, lumber, Is overdone, and
millions of feet of lumber are piled ready
for tho market, but notwithstanding this,
tho mills arc running on nearly lull
tlmo and nddlng still more to the
vast stock of lumber In the hope of the
speedy revival of business activity, and a
rendy sale of their products.
Tho manufacture of furniture, a comna.

Important Industry. First among this list
s the firm of A. H. Hcllmnn & Co. Mr. 1.
N. Kline, born nnd rnlscd In Columbia
county, Is a member of tlita'tlrm nnd has
chargo of tlio wholcsalo department. They
havu n largo factory, supplied with tho
latest and best machlncry,nnd keep a great
number of men constantly employed. Their
furnishing building nnd ware rooms, a
largo ftvo story building on West Third
street, Is not sufficient for the great quau
tlty of furnlliiro they manufacture nt their
factory and thoy nro now shipping unfin
Ished goods to Philadelphia and New York
city. Otto & Sons havo been engaged
In n like enterprise since, their planing mill
wns burned, about four years ago, nnd
have largo nnd beautiful buildings, witli
improved machinery, and aro enjoying a
largo trade. Mr. Lupcrt has a largo fac
tory on the South sldo of tho river, but
makes only unfinished furniture. There
nro a number of others In the same Indus,

The West Branch Boiler Works, by K.
Kcelcr & Co., nro the only firm of tho kind
In this section nnd havo a whlo trade. Mr.
Isaac Barton a former member of the firm
of J. Hcathcoato & Co. is the superinten
dent. Rowley fi Hermanco are busily engaged
In tho manufacture of Wood Working ma
chinery. Their machines nro used in nil

firm began this now industry a few years
ago and hnvo been very successful.
111-nilKSVII.LE,
is an actlvo little town. There are two
large furniture factories, employing a num.
her of workmen, nnd working on full time.
A planing mill, busily engaged, although
they havo just met with nn accident, elc.
priving them of tho uso of part of their main
shaft they havo continued with their press-
ng orders. It will tnko about a week to
epalr their damng'i when they will again
work with a full number of workmen. A
number of Bloomsburg people aro living In
this placo and nil contented. About five
miles above this place Is
TIVOI.I.
Here Is a general resort for picnics
throughout this section. The Willlamsport
& N. B. R. R. Company havo placed a
switch and furnish special trains for tho
excursionists. The woods have been nicely
cleared, a flying horso nnd swlncs erected.
An abandoned saw mill has been fitted up
into a convenient dancing lloor or for shel
ter in time of storm. Chamounl Grove is
the name given to the placo. Tho grove is
occupied nearly every ilay. Nino miles
above this place is
I.BWIs' I.AKK,
which promises to bo the finest summer re
sort in the stale. A number of tho citizens
of Hughesville have fine cottages there. It
is said the railroad will soon be extended,
when they anticipate constant travelling.
At the present time, the stago coach is the
only means of reaching the place, unless
you go direct to Hughesville, where you
can be taken to the lako a distance of four
teen miles, by Pursel & Montgomery, liv
erymen, formerly of Bloomsburg. A great
many prefer this way, because thoy can
reach the lako much sooner, and without
the annoyance of an overcrowded stage.
MUNOY
is growing slowly but Its additions arc sub
stantial buildings. The Woolen Mills of
Coulter, Rogers & Co., erected a few years
ago are successfully mauaged. They make
a specialty ot woolen blankets nnd enjoy a
wide traele in them. Their woolen yarns
arc also highly recommended ami when
dealers once buy of them they continue
their trade. The mill is now run to its
fullest capacity.
A liay elevator, torn anil pulley inctory is
one of the industries of the place, and not
a small one cither as they give employment
to a number of workmen, and make full
time. Their liny forks and pulleys arc scut
into about every state. Tho firms namo is
Waldncr & Sprout. Mr..Sprout is the paten
tee of the hay elevator.
The planing mill of this placo gives em
ployment to a number of workmen, and
has orders for almost continual running.
The Public school building is three and
one-half stories high has largo and con
venient rooms for tho accommodation of
pupils, and Is ns fine n public school build
ing as can bo found in the state. It was
built In 1873. In tho summer season a
county Normal school li held In this build
ing, under tho supeivlsion of tlio county
superintendent. A small tuition feo is
charged for tho support of the school dur
ing tills season.
The Lycoming Firo Insurance! Company,
of Muncy which was In such a nourishing
condition until 1880, nnd had erected n
beautiful building at an expenso of over
if -10,000, has nothing left to remind of its
existence, except this weather worn monu
ment which wns sold at Sheriff's silc about
three yeurs ago, for $0,000, and Is now
used ns a private residence.
At tlio Munty Luminary olllco wo found
G. L. V Painter. His father Thomas Paint,
cr, was tho editor and proprietor of the
Columbia County Ktglster. G. L. I. Painter
entered tho printing ofilco of his father
when ho was but eleven years of age, and
remembers how they first Inked their typo
by means of leather balls, and printed on a
wooden press called a Ramagc. About
tho year 1830 or 40 a nowspaper olllco call,
cd the lllicimaii was moved from Dnnvlllo
to Bloomsburg and after a trial of nbout
six months was suspended for want of pat.
ronngc. William Hurley and William Mc
Kclvy wcro stockholders In this office. In
the early part of 1811 Mr. Painter called
upon tho stockholders of tho IrafcAinaa of.
lice. They told him that If ho could uso
tho office he should tako It and they would
charge nothing for It. Accordingly ho
made arrangements to move tho office, and
In March of the samo year, Mr. Ellas Men.
dcnhall with n two horso sled moved tho
entire outfit to Muncy and Mr. Painter be.
gau tho publication of tho ifancy Luminary.
In 1841 Mr. Thomas Painter discontinued
tho publication of tho Columbia County lit'
(litter, nnd Bhortly afterward tho material
was moved to Muncy and combined with
that of the Luminary. Mr. G. L. I, Painter
continued tho publication of his paper un
til 1879 when ho gayo way to his sons W,
P. and T. B, who havo continued until tho
present lime, nnd now havo a first-class
ofilco with new cylinder press nnd steam
power.
Wo found furniture establishments lu
Willlamsport, Monloiirsvlllc, Hughcsvlllo
nnd Picture Rocks, all busily engaged, and
tho suggestion wns made that a like Indus
try might bo established, and successfully
carried on In Bloomsburg, where wo aro
surrounded with ash, birch, beach, chctt
Nurtlillclit.
Northficld Is n plnco of which tho world
generally know very little a few years ngoj
but It Is beginning to ho famous, nnd may
Boon rlvnl Chautauqua in that respect. It
lies In tho valley of tho Connecticut, on
the northern edge of Massachusetts. As 1
wrlto I look Into New Hnmpshlro nnd Ver
mont, over n sccno as beautiful as tho view
from tho Bloomsburg Normnl School nnd
moro extended. Tho hbsenco of fences
gives a pnrk-llko or European nspect to tho
landscape. Tho two railroads, from New
Haven nnd New Loudon, across tho river,
do not mnr tho benuty or brenk tlio still
ness. Tho village consists of ono long
street, wide enough to contain from two to
four rows of largo elms ami maples and
room for play grounds between. lean
find only two general stores. These with
a tailor, shoemaker, harness and tin shop,
n barber and n hotel, monopolize tho busi
ness without nny difficulty.
What threatens to secure a placo tor
Northficld on the maps Is that D. L., as ho
Is called by his townsfolk to distinguish
Mm from the other Moodys, came back to
the homo of Ids boyhood a few years ngo
to reside, has established a seminary for
girls nnd In the neljolnlng township a school
for boys nnd Is gathering some kindred
spirits around him. Snnkcy, tho singer,
and Pentecost, tho Evangelist, havo settled
here; McGranahan is coming nnd John
Wnnnmnkcr has a cottago near tho sem
inary. Tho seminary was started on n small
scale In a dwelling house. It wns soon
housed In a laigo brick building on n com
manding site, tho East Hall. Another
largo brick dormitory has been added by
tho Marqunnd estate; and n beautiful stono
halt has been built for rccttntlons. Moody's
object is to help girls of moderate means
to obtain nn education that shall fit them
for real usefulness In life by Its thoroughly
Christian character. Each pupil is to pay
$100 a year and take n share In the lighter
work of the household. There Is, of
course, a heavy deficiency for Mr. Moody
and his friends to mako up. I understand
that part, if not all, of tho royalty from
tho hymn books goes Into this enterprise.
It nil goes to benevolent work of some sort.
Tlioboys' school nt Mt. Hcrmon, on a largo
farm, is conducted on tho same principles.
There were 100 pupils last year nnd they
aro preparing for 300 next year. It con
tains representatives from China, Japan,
our Indian tribes, nnd Europe. There nro
somo 40 boys from Great Britain.
Apropos of Great Britain, among the r-
rlynls on Saturday night wns Mr. Studd,
ono of tho gentlemen cricketers who havo
just como over. I sco htm now, in his
short pants nnd russet shoes, with his Bible
under his arm, tramping away from tlio
stono ball, where the meetings oi tuo
Northficld Convention of Christian Work
ers Is held. Ho wns ono of tho students
who stood by Mooely at Cambridge Univer
sity in England nnd was converted. In
tho men's meeting last evening (for there
was a woman's meeting nnd so tho men
were left to themselves) Mr. Studd told in
n very simple and Interesting way of the
Interest awakened In ibe British univcrsi
ties on the subject of "Foreign Missions,"
nnd of the seven young men (of leading
society in London, according to Moody)
who have lately gono to China, ono of them
his brother. He traced tho movement back
to tho meetings of Moody nnd Snukcy nt
Cambridge-
Tho principal interest of tho Convention,
so far, centres around Dr. Gordon, of Bos
ton, Dr. Picrson, of Philadelphia, and
Mooely, ns speakers, nnd Messrs. Sankcy,
Towner and Parker, as singers. Mr. Park
er Is a singing Evangelist from Spurgcon's
college, who tells mo ho has been holding
meetings In every country In England, save
one. Mr. Towner was brought in connec
tion with Moody in Cincinnati where ho
was teaching music, nnd has now devoted
himself to evangelistic servlco under
Moody's direction. He has a powerful
voice and Is a good leader. Sankey's sing
ing seems to mo ns sweet as ever.
Mooely presides at all the meetings in the
stone hall, and keeps everything under con.
trol, from the timing of n speaker downjto
tho seating of the people nnd even to the
chnrges of tho hackmcn. Ho docs not
talk often himself. I havo heard but ono
sermon, or long speech, from him. That
was grand in its simplicity nud fullness of
Gospel truth. 8. M.

Pure advertising prompts us
to invite visitors to our city to
visit our store ; and, to make
the invitation more effective we
afford them all the conveniences
that we have facilities for.
We are making here such a
mart as we believe to be good
for our city, good for our coun
try and good for ourselves ; and
we want as many people to
know about it as we can get.
There is nothing mysterious
about it. It is only a place
where many sorts of merchan
dise are gathered together,
many grades of a sort, every
thing called by its true name,
and everything sold for about as
little as we can afford ; a place
where a great many wants are
supplied, and no cheating done;
a place where all the skill you
need in buying is to know what
you want, or to be able to recog
nize it when you see it.
"We are making such a mart,
we said. Eight years ago, when
we began this general trade,
some thought we made it in a
twinkling. We covered a part
of the ground and begun only
begun. Every year since has
brought increase of room and
of use for it, to say nothing of
the increase of knowledge, by
which we buy better, sell better,
and walk with firmer foot. We
have not done by any means.
Our building and trade are
growing together,
One is tem
porary ; tne otier appears to be
as secure of permanence as the
wants which give it life. One
is local ; the other appears to
have no necessary limits. One
is easy to see and understand ;
the other strikes most persons
as vast, various, complex, intri
cate. We invite you to enter; leave
your luggage under check; wan-
der at will over every part of
thestorei w;th a uide jf you
Pref?r ! cary away With you as
much knowledge Ol our under-
taking as you can ; tell your
