It cures blood and skin disorders. It does this quickly and permanently. Is there anv eood reason whv vou should not use De Wilt's Sarsaparilla? it recommends itself. V. S. Rishtor, Druggist. tf. Free lunch and free lemonade are generally popular. The new Baltimore Provision House squeezed some lem ons for the invited public on Satur day night. They have certainly brushed up this corner and made it look busi ness like. In all cases where a mild but ef fective aperient is needed, Ayer's Pills are the best. I hey improve the ap petite, restore healthy action, promote digestion, and regulate every function.

Russell Buckalew's residence on Rock street has been repainted, there by greatly improving its appearance. P. K. Vannatta is doing the work. There has been more building and painting and repairing and general brightening up in Bloomsburg this spring than for mary years before. This does not look like hard times. The city papers of Monday the ist were the last to reach Bloomsburg un til Wednesday night, but they con tained sufficient report of devastation to account for the delay of mails. Creasy & Wells have several car loads of lumber stranded somewhere on the railroad by the hign water. The lumber was ordered for the new addition to the Silk Mill. Mr. W. IT. Vanderherchen, of the Bloomsburg Carpet Mill, was married on the 16th., inst. in Philadelphia, to Miss Levering of that city. They will go to housekeeping in one of P. E. Wirt's houses on Fifth street. What makes a house a home ? The mother well, the children rosy, the father in good health and good humor. All brought about by the use of De Witt's Sarsaparilla. It recommends itself. W. S. Rishton, Druggist, tf. The iron bridge at Eyer's Grove was carried ofl from one of the ab utments by the high water on Mon day. Commissioners Swank and Ikeler visited the spot on Tuesday, and are of the opinion that it can be replaced without much damage. The Woman's H. and F. Mission ary Society of St. Matthew's Lutheran church wilt hold their fifteenth an niversary meeting next Sunday even ing, May 27 th, instead of the regular service. An interesting programme has been prepared. Besides those named la t week as the owners of bird dogs, may be named Phin. Ileddens who owns a fine bred Irish setter, well trained. Joseph Bidle man also owns a pup which will no doubt develop into a hunter. It is a thorough bred setter, and Joe claims that it will beat anything in town, in time. Mr. James Magee's new residence on First street, at the head of West street, is a handsome structure, and commands a magnificent view on both sides, up the creek and down the val ley, and over the town. From Fern villc it look3 like a castle on the rocks. The wonder is that some cne did not see the beauty of the location years ago. . The name of Hon. Andrew L. Fritz is announced this week as a candi date for Representative. He has been a hard working member and watched closely the interests of his constituents. The custom of the Democratic paity in this county is to give her repre sentatives two terms in succession, and Mr, Fritz is justly entitled to a second term without opposition. The only Phila. paper that reached Town last Tuesday was one that J. M. Gidding & Co., the Clothiers, had posted up on their plate glass windows. It was eagerly read by crowds who were anxious to hear the latest news about the flood. It certainly showed enterprising spirit, and we'll jot another mark down for Gidding & Co. GBEATLY "iMPEOVED. It is with much gratification that we hear from many readers of The Columbian that they observe marked improvement in the contents of the paper of late. It is our desire and in tention that such shall be the case, and it was for that purpose that the services of an able and experienced writer and reporter have been secured by the employment of the present assistant editor, Mr. I. J. Jamison The mechanical appearance has also been improved by new head letters, and by printing the name of the paper at the head of each page, and by numbering the pages. When the de mand upon our columns for adver using space is great, we make it up to our readers by issuing an enlarged paper, a practice indulged in by no other paper in the county. The office has been newly painted and papered, and generally over hauled, and will compare favorably with any printing establishment in eastern Pennsylvania. This, togethe.' the fact that the jobbing and adver tising patronage were never better, encourage us to say that still further improvements may be looked for. The Columbian ought to go into every house in the county. CHINESE SAORED BIRDS. This is the last week for the Chinese Sacred Birds which have been in the window of Gidding & Co., the Cloth ier. Saturday night will be their last. They will be followed by some new attraction the following Monday. If dull, spiritless and stupid : if your blood is thick and sluggish ; if your ap petite is capricious and uncertain, you need a sarsaparina. ror uesc resuns take DeWitt's. It recommends itself. W. S. Rishton, Druggist. tf. HE 18 A CANDIDATE. Benton, May at, '94. Editor Columbian ; I ask a little space in your paper for the publication of a few lines in behalf of myself I understand that there has been a report noised around that I had withdrawn from the field as a candidate for Sheriff. Now I wish to say to the voters of Columbia County that it is false, and was raised by some one of the other candidates to injure me during the campaign. Probably if I would drop off, some one would feel more safe. But I am in the field and intend to stay there. Six years ago I was a candidate for Sheriff and was defeated and took that defeat as any honest Democrat should. I stood right with the Democratic- party and rules, voted for the nominees. Now should not my claim be a good one ? I think that the Democratic voters should this time support me, as I think my claim is an honest one. Alexander Knouse. Will Not Be a Candidate. Hon. S. P. Wolverton, member of Congress from this district, has au thorized us to announce that he will not be a candidate for re election for the third term. Of his re nomination and re election, if he had desired it, there 13 not the slightest doubt, but his large law business has claims on his time that can not be ignored, and with the close of his present term he will retire to private life. His public record has been a long and profitable one to the people, and he retires with a record of which any man can be justly proud. No man in Penn sylvania stands higher than S. P. Wol verton and his retirement from Con gress is a public misfortune. Sun bury Democrat. Horse Thieves About.

Something wrong when the skin is not clear and smooth. Some thing wrong when the Blood is impure. Everything right when you take De- Witt s Sarsaparilla. It recommends itself. V. S. Rishton, Druggist, tf. BUSINESS LOCALS. Fruit culture is more profitable to the farmer now than his other crop?. Brown. Bros. Co., the most extensive nursery house in the U. S., have a va cancy in this section. Write them at Rochester, N. Y., for their terms. 4-Mm. Creates health, creates strength, creates vigor; DeWitt's Sarsaparilla. It recommends itself. W. S. lushton, Druggist. tf. Breaking in isn't needed, with the Ball corset. It's easy from the start. Coils of tiny wire springs in the sides make it so. There are Lones that bc;nd, but can't break, and soft eyelets that won't cut the laces. You'll likevit. If you don't, after a few weeks' wear, just return it and get your money.
