M. L. KLINE, TEE HARNESS MAKER.
M. L. Kline who moved into the
Fox building near corner of Main and
hast street with his harness store de
serves special mention. He learned
his trade in this town about eighteen
years ago, and soon after moved to
Orangcvilie where he carried on suc
cessfully the business of harness mak
ing. The death of his father in law,
Mr. A W. Fry, leaving the widow
alone, induced him to remove to
Bloomsburg. He is a first class work-
man, industrious and persevennu.,
Many of the traveling men and farm
ers throughout the county can testify
to the worth of his harness and will
endeavor to patronize hin wherever he
can be found. Any work entrusted to
him will be positively guarantee' to
give satisfaction, lie has on hand a
large stock of robes and blankets and
is offering them at special low puces
it will pay to call and get his prices.
In whips he will not be excelled by
any one, while in saddles, when the
season opens he will have the finest
stock from which to select. After
April 1st an additional room will be
given him, when he can make a much
finer display.

On Thursday evening, Feb. ay
about ninety invited guests assembler
at the residence of Mr. Herring of
Orangeville to witness the marriage
of his daughter Anna M. to Mr.
Frank Fester. While the wedding
march was played by Miss Mary
Houtz, the bride and groom presented
themselves before the olficiating
minister Rev. A. Houtz. The con
gratulations bestowed were hearty and
numerous. The hospitality of the
family was certainly equal to the
occassion. The luncheon was well
arranged and well served by the
young gentlemen and ladies attending
to this part of the programme.
Many valuable and beautiful articles
were given as tokens of sincere re
gard and personal esteem. The bride
and groom took the early train on
Friday morning for Philadelphia and
New York. Wish them a pleasant
trip, a safe return, and a long and
happy wedded life.
On February 27th, at the residence
of the bride on ' Railroad street Mr.
William H. Shaffer, of Ashley Luzerne
county Pa., and Miss Alice M. Krum
of Bloomsburg, Pa., were quietly unit
ed in marriage by the Rev. C. H.
Brandt, Pastor of Trinity Reformed
Church, Bloomsburg, Pa.
It is a truth in medicine that the
smallest dose that performs a cure is
the best. DeWitt's Little Early Risers
are the smallest pills, will perform the
cure, and are the best. W. S. Rish

There came near being a sudden
death in the office of J. H. Levergood,
the real estate and insurance man,
No. 35 West Third street, shortly after
dinner to-day.
The victim was William Shirley, an
aged resident of Montoursville, and
for a time his life se. med to hang by
a slender thread. Mr. Shirley and his
wife came to town to day to look for a
house, and at noon he ate an unusual
ly hearty dinner. After the meal had
been disposed of they went to Mr.
Levergood's office, and, while sitting
in a chair Mr. Shirley's head suddenly
dropped over and he became motion
less and pale. The people in the
office at the time were frightened half
out of their wits, but restoratives were
at once applied and Dr. L G. Baker
sent for. When the physician arrived
Mr. Shirely's fingers were blue and
there was hardly any pulsation.
The doctor worked with him for an
hour before consciousness returned,
and he stated afterward that at one
time respiration entirely ceased. It
was a narrow escape from death, and
prompt and faithful work only saved
his life. It was a case of heart failure,
and, althought Mr. Shirley has had
slight attacks before there never was
any that near approached this one in
severity. Mr. Shirley is seventy
two years of age. Williamsport
Rep ublican, Feb. 24th.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable phy
sicians, as the damage they will do is
ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall's Catarrh

PETITIONS FOB CnUBOii MEMEEES.
On Sunday morning Rev. P. A.
Heilman, before proceeding with his
sermon read a petition requesting that
some action be taken, in concurrence
with the Methodist and Presbyterian
churches, in reference to the enacting
of a local option law for the State of
Pennsylvania. The purpose of the
Act is to provide that in whatever lo
calities desirable they may regulate by
vote the sale of liquors. A second pe
tition was read direct to Governor
Pattison asking that he shall not allow
the Sunday laws to be intertered with,
but in order to further strengthen the
law, a penalty of $25.00 for any viola
tion of the law should be imposed.
After the reading of the petitions a
vote was taken, and nearly the whole
congregation arose, expressing their
approval. The result of the vote will
probably be forwarded to the Gover
nor, and presiding officers of the Leg
islature. Good Looks.
