y h & VOL 28 TJi TOWK OOVESSMEST. If the conclusion is correct, then the question confronts us all who shall be Chief Burgess, and who shall be the councilmcn ? It is certainly in order to say that Bloomsburg requires an efficient muni cipal government. The population is increasing rapidly. In all directions you see streets being opened and graded, and the side walks laid with stone or other substantial material. You sec old houses repaired and modernized, and you see on all sides new houses, mostly of brick, being elected Billy Ferguson, as he is fa milial ly called, has had a very busy summer of it, and the end is not yet. Citizens who do not somewhat tre quently patrol the town are more sur prised than strangers at the certain signs of prosperity. The various industries have not been checked for a moment. The hum and whir and noise have been in creasing. From the five o'clock whis tle at Neal's furnace to the seven o'clock one at the machine shops of Harman & Hassert, about every fif teen minutes either the woolen mill or the silk mill or the desk factory or the furniture company, or the worsted mill, or the washing machine plant, or brass and copper works, or some of the various busy shops, calls the work man to his labor ; and presently after, the silver tone ol the Normal School bell flings the sound waves over the valley calling hundreds of girls and boys to their studies and preparation for an independent life. All these exist at present, but others are coming, and between the canal and the river new industries are being located, and silent Irondale is showing signs of rejuvenation. In preparation for this large increase of population, the Fair grounds have been enlarged, the gas and electric light plants are increasing their facili ties, the public steam plant has put in additional boilers, and the water com pany is constructing an additional reservoir, and laying twelve-inch mains. This enumeration shows partially, hat has come and i9 coming, and it fully justifies the remark that the gov ernment of the town in all its branch es, is of great and growing importance We are all interested. Thn property owner and the wage earner equally need a good, strong, safe, economical administration ; but one which at the ame time will push improvements, and keep up the pace that has sound ly and certainly given us the lead of all the towns on both branches of the Susquehanna. To stand still is to recede. Let us give each other the helping hand, the encouraging word, the stimulating God peed. Let us continue to welcome the coming, and there will be no part ing guest. Let us welcome them to our homes, our churches, our schools, and make them part of the permanent Population of the Town of Blooms burg. Querist. A CANTATA.

Mrs. Fred Holmes presided at the organ, and played the Mendelssohn wedding march as the bridal party retired from the church. The bride wore a dress of light blue figured silk, trimmed with lace, and carried roses. The brides maids wore gowns of white silk trimmed with lace. At 9.30 a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, the M. E. Parsonage, and an elegant wed ding breakfast was served. The bride was the recipient of many beau tiful and costly gifts.

A large force of men are employed on Iron street, digging a trench for the new water main from the reser voir. On Wednesday noon the earth caved in in front of J. B.

The water flew in every direction for a little while, but it was stopped by turning it off from the main at the corner of Rock street.

There is a prospect now that the new hymnal of the Episcopal Church, with music, will be ready in January. It will contain over eight hundred pages. The old hymnal is still used at St. Paul's Church because the choir has been unable to procure the new one, owing to the delay in the publi cation Due announcement will be made before the use of the new one is begun.
