Hpeclal Notice.
The law compels us to pay postago on
all papers that go to post ofllces outside of
the couuty, and this must bu paid in cash
every week. Our terms to all who get their
papers outside of tho county are (ric(y in
ulvance. Statements were sent out to all
such last week, and wo respectfully re
quest that thoy will not bo cast asldo a? a
small matter that can bo attended to any
time, but will receive prompt attention.

As the financial year of tho Colombian
ends on October 1st, It Is our custom at
this time of year to go over our books and
send notices to every ono who Is a year or
raoro In arrears. Wo dlsllko to dun our
subscribers through tho paper, but when
we find at tho end of tho year that wo havo
thousands of dollars duo on our books from
people who are much moro ublo to pay
than wo aro to wait for tho money, It Is a
business necessity that compels us, once a
year, to call attention to tho matter.
Statements havo been made out, and will
bo sent by mall soon after September 1 to
all who havo not settled by that time. As
many peoplo dislike to rccclvo "duns" we
would suggest that it will bo much pleas,
anterfor them to settle beforo bills aro
sent out. The postago alono Is a heavy ex.
pense to us. All who fail to pay by Sept.
1st. should not feel aggrieved on receiving
a statement of their account, because It is
a pure business transaction on our part,
and It would bo unjust to blame us for ask
log what is duo us, after sendiug tho paper
for a year or moro without pay. Pleaso
put yourself In our place, and if you would
ba wllllntr. or could afford to let a largo
sum of money that Is duo you, stand out
all over tho county in smau suras jiero aim
thprn without asklne for it for a year or
jnoro, then you ore at liberty to criticise
others for doing what you would not uo.
We inako these remarks becauso wo know
of the objection many have to being "dun

zen first says tho B. & S. Company has
never given us any guarauteo when we
wero to have n road, and then he says they
promised us a road within two years from
tho time of subscription. Now how
this ? I don't think Col. Jamison ever
promised any certain time when the road
would bo built. He might havo said ho
expected it to be built so nnd so. But
Col. Jamison with the nssistanco of Hon
C. R. Buckalcw has had a great deal to
contend with. First they had to look ou
a route and then they had It surveyed

Tho nbovo caption Is Intended to indicate
that Berwick has celebrated tho centennial
anniversary ot Its settlement nnd still sur
vives. In 1780, Evan Owen, who hnd
como to this region somo fourteen years
before, conceived the idea of founding a
vlllago on tho high gravelly plateau which
borders tho river where certain ripples
make tt nnvlgablo for boots nt low wnter.
Tho venture prospered, nnd through the or
dinary vicissitudes of urban cxpcrlcuce,
tho borough, In a hundred years, has
reached Its present "pitch of pride."
No unnecessary amount of advertising
wns expended in "booming" tho enterprise.
The bills posted promised no marvelous
exhibitions, nnd the show reached tho
height of Its modest nrgumcnt with n fidel
ity unknown to tho ordinary country show,
Bloomsburg patronized this homo effort
with commcndablo liberality. The Friend
ship hoso-rccl and company, led by tho Af
ton brass band and attended by somo threo
hundred fellow citizens, went up on tho
ten o'clock train, n considerable number
going on tho earlier train. Other delega
tions of corresponding proportions were
sent out from Catawlssa, Danville and
Scranton.
The sudden Incrcaso m local travel had
tho usual delaying effect on tho trains, nnd
tho main contributiou from tho county scut
nrrlvcd nt Berwick nbout noon to find tho
town swarming with slght-secrs, nnd hardly
n foot of ground to stand on, although nt
thnt early hour less was required for tho
purpose than later In tho day. The ciowd
ed trnlu was finally uploaded, however,

Citizens In Carriages.
Tho almost immediate announccment'Hcre
they come !" passed from mouth to mouth,
indicated tho opening ot tho day's attrac
tions, and caused the crowds on tho side
walks to tnko themselves to tho available
points of observation the tall and broad,
to the curbstone, and tho short and slen
der, to storo steps and lamp postB. 'Iho
line of march brought tho procession down
Front street to tho limits nf the borough
then by countermarch to Market, thenco
to Second, nnd down Second to the Fair
grounds, where tho jaded, dust-covered
company arrivrd nbout ono o'clock nnd
wero welcomed in nn eloquent address by
C. B. Jackson, Esq.
The less distinguished visitors found their
way to tho Bamo place by means of steam
yachts that plied to and fro nn tho canal,
by tho various extemporized hacks which
formed no Inconsldernhlo feature In the
bustling Eccne, nnd by the sidewalks
scnrcely less remnrknblo for dust than the
highways.
Those who wero not fortunately provl
ded with a basket lunch enrly turned their
attention to tho business of examining tho
prospects for dinner. All approaches to
tho hotels were thronged by n crowd of
thirsty men nnd jaded looking women
Tho purveyors to tho publlo were out dU
posing dinner tickets for n consideration
among tho crowd, but tho outlook was
such that many considered it a lattery in
which not n few of tho tickets would drnw
blanks. It was, perhaps, impossible to
provldo ampler hotel accommodations for
tho crowd, or It may bo that tho enterprise
was successful beyond tho expectation o
tho hotel keepers, but whatever tho reason
tho result was a scant dinner, meager ser
vice, and n distressing jnm.
Tho Berwick hotels aro all well kept
houses, and aro amply sufficient for all or
dlnary occasions, but when there aro thou
sands of hungry peoplo to feed, tho hotels
of n country town aro nlwnys Inadequate,
Tho only wonder Is that tho Berwick land
lords accommodated as many as they did.
As a choice between two evils, somo
went to the grounds with tho hope that tho
occasion would prompt many to open tent'
porary dining stands, but alas I for tho
hungry, there was beer, beer everywhere
but not a thing to cat. Tho latter state'
mcnt should bo so far modified as to except
mi ico cream stand, und n place where ba
nanus and hastily constructed sandwiches
wcro vended to an eager and not too fastid
lous crowd, but eyen theso failed to drivo
away tho hungry look. Tickets to tho
public dinner wero gonernlly restricted to
members of tho various organizations, but
such ot tho less distinguished guests as
were knowu to bear tho expense of n coun
ty paper or whoso general appearance hull
catcd a similar literary mlsfoitunc, wero
granted admission, so far as the pasteboard
could bo thus construed,
Tho main exhibition hall became the
pilnclpal point ot attack on tho process
Ion's reaching tho grounds, nud the head of
tho column was directed to the rear en.
trance. Hero a door-way, not large enough
to admit a load of hay nor Binall enough
to restrain a hungry crowd, suggested tho
ijbg.
substanco of things hoped for," nnd to
somo tho only "evidence of things not
seen." Tho interior wns rapidly filled by
dint of much squeezing effort, nnd, In
spllo of tho committeo In charge, It was
not until tho building was packed to tho
point of suffocation that tho pressing en
thusiasm of tho Veterans could bo nbntod.
At this potnt the delegntion from Scran
ton, which had been delnycd by somo ncci
dent to tho track, camo marching Into tho
grounds, led by Bauer's band, with its im
posing drum major. Tho hall, which was
rapidly being emptied of both food nnd
people, was ogaln packed to overflowing;
gain tho jostling crowd splllvd hot coffee
on each other, and sandwiches flew around
like things of life, but such enthusiasm,
oven in tho most Importnnt places of life,
cannot enduro forever, aud tho general in
terest began to grnvltato toward tho ball
ground.
The presence of certain uniformed ball
tosscrs near tho "Judges' stand," Indicated
tho probablo site of tho third nltrnction of
tho programme. Tho "grand stand" wns
early occupied by n far-sighted crowd who
were quick to perceive tho ndvnntngcs of
the situation, but tho long delay emphasized
by tho Impediment to a clear view of tho
whole field mado by the "Judges' stand,"
caused constnut changes among the sitters
and few wcro obliged to go away for lack
of accommodations. Tho field was there
fore early inclosed, several ranks deep, by
great crowd who.prcferrcd to enduro tho
nconvcnlcnccs of n hot sun nud n dusty
scat or tedious standing.
Iho approach of Bauer's band to tho
Judges' stand" was tho official signal for
the gathering of the few scattering crowds
ho cured to witness tho game. Ono se
lection from tho band loft, and tlie game
was opened with tho Berwick club to tho
bat, and tho Hozlcton club in tho Held.
Tho end of tho first inning promised a
spirited game, tho Bcrwlcks barely gaining
one run and the Hazlctons getting nothing.
In tho second Innings the visiting club re
turned tho compliment of n "goose egg"
hut insisted on taking two runs. Iu each
succeeding tuning, savo the ninth, the
Berwlcks failed to add any moro runs to
their score, whilo the Hazlctons failed to
do so only in the fourth. Up to tho eighth
inning, however, the visitors only made
one run In each of the successful innings,
but In thnt they seemed to "get onto" the
opposing pitcher's balls, and gave tho Bcr
wlcks their first opportunity to distinguish
themselves in the out field. Whether they
embraced this opportunity may bo a sub
ject of opinion when it Is observed that
the Hazlctons scored five runs In this in
ning. In tho ninth, tho Bcrwlcks scored
two runs, when their opponents, waiving
the last half, closed tho gaino with the
score standing 11 to 3, In favor ot the
Hazlctons.
It is ns unprolltnblo, perhaps, to discuss
tho causes contributing to this result, ns
of tho question who killed Cock-Robin,
but lest It might hctrny a lack of acquaint
ance with the reporter's duties, it may be
said that tho chief reason Is that tho Hu-
letons aro rather more skillful than the
Berwlcks. The latter was supported In the
right Held by a one-armed player, who, al
though remarkably efficient, considering
his misfortune, is none tho less u cause of
weakness in a closely-contested gahie.
Some rather serious errors lu fielding, nnd
an evident tiring of thu pitcher in the
cigth inning were conspicuous contribu
tions to tho final result. After all, a still
greater hindrance to the success of the
Berwlcks Is to bo found in tho battery of
the Hazlctons. They nre salaried men,and
make the game n matter of business. They
are well sustained lu the field, and It re
tires very expert playing on the part of
the averago amateur club to vanquish them.
The Berwicks concede thcii superiority,
but the home club havo nothing to be
ashamed of In their game of the 19th,
though they played with little expectation
of winning. Tho finest personal play of
the gamo must be accorded to tho Berwick
short stop, who leaped to catch a "hot"
lino ball and held it securely in ono hand.
Tho mattcr-nf-course way in which he ac
complished tho feat was admirable.
The game ended, tlie crowd rapidly
melted and streamed toward town In sev
eral jostly currents, on foot, In various ve
hicles and in the yachts. Those who went
by water were obliged to submit to somo
uncorafortablo crowding, but escaped the
clouds of black dust, which, more or less,
completely disguised those who took the
land route. Early trains had somewhat
thinned the crowd beforo tho end of tho
game, and other trains took more of the
visitors homeward, so that at six o'clock a
little persistence brought ono to the surface
where It was possible to look about ldm.
Supper was not so serious an affair as there
was less of a crowd. There was no grum
bling; u good feeling was everywhere man
ifested, and the remaining crowds viewed
thu town while patiently waiting for the
train.
The decoration of business and resident
houses wns qulto general nnd tasteful.
There was some In this line that whs rich
and elaborate, and much that wasplcaslng.
B. F. Driesbach's placo, on Front street,
illustrated tho progress of tho past century
by tho figure of an aged pioneer woman
seated nt her llttlo wheel with a yarn reel
near by, while nt tho other end of tho bal
cony stood a thin figure representing a wo.
Iran iu modern dress standing near n sew

street a largo Illuminated cartoon, represent
ing a rnther iUtterlug view of Berwick in
1780, on ono side, and an allegorical picture
of George Washington and sundry other
military representations, on tho other.
About seven o'clock, or a llttlo later, a
hot air balloon was successfully scut up
from tho square. It rose straight up in tho
quiet air, and after rising to the height of
half a mile, or such mutter, gradually de
scended, veering westward nud bursting
Just ns It reached tho view Hue of tho
house tops typical, It may be, of tho cele
bration. This was generally taken as tho
official closo ot the ceremonies, nnd tho
crowd drifted down to tho depot nnd into
tho beer saloons.
Tho quantity of brer consumed during
tho day was immense, but it may bo
truthfully said that thero was no lighting
nor men In the gutter. Many found tho
sldo walk a too narrow fluid to fully ills.
play their pedestrian accomplishments, and
others wero rather Indiscreetly confidential,
but It all might have been very much worse.
Tho trains weru late, as a matter of
course, and the good uatured crowd nbout
tho depot stood on their tired feet fornn
hour or two discussing tlie features ot tho
dny with great equanimity, Somo of tho
moro cxiiuaruieu clement formed , proces

pipers, nnd tho aforesaid band fragment
mado the welkin resound with their ills
cordant strains, Tho saviug feature of tho
situation was thu darkness which allowed
one sense, nt least, to rest.
As n whole, Berwick may congratulate
herself tnat tho enterpriso waj entirely
