Johnson & Co., paper dealers of
Harrisburg, Pa. have favored us with a
useful and attractive calendar for
1895. We mention the fact because
the calendar is a fine one, and be
cause it is well to practice a little on
the new figures in advance.
The ladies of the Buckhorn Luther
an Church will gre a Chicken and

invited to attend.
In talking about hard times else
where wc cannot help but mark the
contrast, when Bloomsburg advertises
occasionally for help, offering perman
ent positions to the right kind of
workmen. We believe it to be a
positive fact that some towns deliber
ately manufacture dull times, and
they verily have their reward.
The Atlantic Refining Oil Com
pany, of Bloomsburg, sold last month
890 barrels of oil, making 43,000 gal
lons. They have facilities tor doing
all their own repairing, gluing, &c,
to the barrels they use. This com
pany evidently sheds forth consider
able light.
Invitations were recently printed at
this office for a Christmas wedding,
the contracting parties being Miss
Ella M. McHenry and Mr. Ezra O.
Hess, of Waller, Pa. The marriage
will take place at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, on Tuesday, December
25th, at the home of the bride.
Bloomsburgers, without regard to
religious denomination, made a gener
ous response to the call for aid for the
sufferers in Nebraska. Under the
care and direction of Rev. P. A.
Heilman two large wagon loads of
edibles and clothing, &c, were taken
tothe Penn. Depot for shipment, first
to bunbury and from there to Lincoln,
Nebraska, where the State Relief
Society will see to their proper dis
bursement among the really institute
sufferers from drouth, &c.
In the large windows of Hess Broth

ly fine assortment of toilet articles
comprising fine combs, brushes, &c
put up in plush and velvet boxes,
They have also a fine line of
diamonds, cut glass, silverware, ladies'
and gent's watches, rings of all makes

all designs and patterns, and any of
wnich would be an acceptable gift
for old or young or rich or poor.

On the premises of Peter Harman,
on Iron street we found George B
Kitchen industriously engaged cutting
and piling sod, for next year s use, on
the 18th day of December. The
novelty of the industry in this latitude
attracted our reporter, who mentions
the fact for this reason and as an in
dication of fair prospects for a green
Christmas.

J II. Kingrose, of Espy, will start

There is no doubt that the more ex
tensive advertisers in the Bloomsburg
papers are attracting buyers from
neighboring towns and from far and
near. We daily see shoppers from
abroad and we are convinced that the
inducements held out in advertise
ments brings them. It is a positive
fact that Bloomsburg merchants are
right abreast of the times, not only in
prices and quantity cf stock caried,
but also in neatness and in attractive
arrangement and display of the goods
