COLUMBIA COUNTY
CREAMERY.
A Ntw Titablisbment In Bloomsburg
That Will Be A Benefit To Fanners.
The Columbia County Creamery
is located on Seventh street, opposite
the Ice and Cold Storage riant. It
is completed, and contains machinery
of the latest designs for making butter.
The first churning was done last
Saturday, and the butter made was of
the very best quality.
Stations for gathering cream are
located at Mifflinvillc, Light Street.
Grovania, Benton, Orangeville, and
several other points.
Each station has a skimming ma
chine for separating the cream from
the milk, run by a small steam engine.
The cream is shipped daily from these
points to the factory, and the skim
milk is taken away by the owner.
The directors of the company are
C. M. Crcveling, E. K. Low, E. H.
Sloan, 11. J. Connor, 13. W. Waples,
A. C. Creasy, J. M. Shew Jr., R. T.
Smith, J. L. Wolverton, A. V. Sny
der, C. C. Peacock and V. R.
Kocher. The factory is in charge of
Carl Neilson. who has had six years
experience in the business in Sweden,
and six years in this country.
Fresh buttermilk can be obtained
daily at the factory, and if the demand
is sufficient for it, arrangements will
be made to supply customers with
fresh cream in quantities to suit.
The company has issued the follow
ing circular, which explains the
method of operation:
"Uur tactory, including the several
skimming stations, is now ready for
operation. We will immediately be
gin operations, and all we ask is, that
our patrons furnish us plenty of the
raw material, milk. We do the rest,
and for your benefit, which we will
prove to you, if you will give the fac
tory a fair trial. The butter factory
is no new thing ; new only for this
locality; for there are hundreds of
similar factories throughout the coun
try, that are doing a satisfactory busi
ness for their patrons. We wish
every farmer to make an extra effort
to bring what milk he has, be it little
or much, and if you are then not satis
fied, withdraw. Remember there is
nothing binding in this, you can with
draw at any time, only we wish you to
give us a fair trial. The conditions
upon which we will accept your milk,
are briefly these : Milk must be
delivered at the factory or either of
the skimming stations every day be
tween the hours ot five and eleven
o'clock A. M. Night's milk to be
held over until morning, and kept
separate from the morning's milk.
Milk must be properly strained, aired
and cooled ; to illustrate, when strain
ing the milk into the can, use at least
two thicknesses of cloth as a strainer ;
after the can has been filled, stir the
milk thoroughly two or three times
that the animal heat may escape. Do
not close the cover on the can until
ready to start for the factory. Every
.can, pail, cooler, and every other
article used for, in. or about the milk
must be kept perfectly clean and
sweet. Settlements with patrons will
be made the fifteenth of each month,
for the previous month, and are to be
based upon the per cent, of fat in the
milk supplied by each patron, as
shown by the Babcock Ttst. Re
member that by the centrifugal
method of separating the cream, from
one-half to one pound more butter to
each one hundred pounds of milk, is
secured by this process, than can
possibly be obtained by any other
method. Then again the quality of
the butter as a whole is better, being
what is known as granular butter,
which sells for the highest price.
There is always a demand for a first
class article when put up in an at
tractive form. Here again the fac
tory takes the lead, because every
thing is done by the latest improved
methods, and under the most favorable
conditions, which are practically un
known on the farm. Cans and other
supplies will be furnished patrons of
the company at first cost. Those
delivering milk at any of the
several skimming stations will be
promptly attended to, so as to enable
them to receive the milk to be taken
home after the butter fat has been
separated. Any further information de
sired will be furnished by those in charge
of the several skimming stations or
the buttrr factory. In conclusion we
would say, to secure the most profit
from your cows, feed liberally and
keep them well housed during cold
weather. Study them individually.
Weigh each cow's milk night and
morning, and see which respond at
the pail when given extra feed. Have
them tested separately at the factory,
and you will soon know which cows
you wish to keep, and the sooner the
others grace the shambles the better
for your pocket. We give all a cor
dial invitation to visit the factory at
nine ami inspect its workings."
PECULIAR RESULT3 FBOM EAT
ING 0HI0KEN.
Glasco Cameron and his family
partook of chicken pot pie for dinner
on Sunday, and alt became very sick,
except the youngest child. The at
tack began with vomiting and continu
ed for some time, and this no donbt
saved them from more serious results.
None of them were able to go for a
doctor, and it was nearly two hours
before word was sent to Dr. Armcnt,
who pronounced it a case of poison
ing from eating the pot pie. Al
though the chicken was to all appear
ances perfectly healthy, it was suppos
ed that it had the cholera. The re
mains of the dinner were thrown in
the swill pail by mistake, and on Mon
day Mr. Cameron fed it to his three
pigs. In five minutes they began to
vomit, and in an hour one of them
was dead. The other two died in a
couple of hours. The pigs were
about four months old. It hardly
seems possible that such results could
come from a diseased chicken, for
Mrs. Cameron cooked it and is satis
fied that no poisonous matter could
have found its way into the iron pot
in which it was boiled. The family
were all sick for two days, and Mrs.
Cameron was still confined to the bed
on Tuesday.
CHANGED HANDS.
Tho Weil-Known Firm of J. R. Smith &
Co. Sells Out.
The well-known piano and furni
ture firm of J. R. Smith & Co., of this
place, one of the largest houses in this
part of the State, has sold out their
entire business to the Milton Piano
and Furniture Company. The pur
chasers are from New England and
are backed by unlimited capital and
will enlarge the business and mcke it
one of the big business institutions of
the West Branch. The new firm have
employed Mr. J. R. Smith as general
manager. In the near future the
mammoth store room will be remodell
ed and made one of the most elabor
ate and attractive business buildings
in the State. Mr. M. D. Rissel will
also be retained in the employ of the
new firm. The thousands of old pa
trons of the late firm in this and ad
joining counties will be given a hearty
welcome when they come to Milton
to shop. Milton Record.
On Sunday morning Rev. P. A.
Ileilman said to his congregation that
he hoped they would not attend the
meetings of the Seventh day adventists,
or give them any encouragement, as
he considered them a disturbing ele
ment in the community, through their
efforts to break down the Christian
Sabbath, and their interference with
the meetings of the churches and the
Y. M. C. A.
We do not fully understand the
doctrines of this sect, but the founda
tion stone of their structure seems to
be that Saturday is the proper day
for observance as the Lord's Day,
instead of Sunday. If all the world
should be converted to this idea, and
the change should be universally ob
served what good would be accomplish
ed thereby ? As there is no possibility
of this, the adoption of this creed by
the laboring classes compels them to
refuse to work on Saturday, thus
losing a day for themselves and their
employers, and in the case of those
who are employed in mills and shops
it would probably result in the loss of
their situations. The business of the
world will continue to go on for six
days in the week, and the Sunday
that has been observed as the Lord's
day for nearly twenty centuries will not
be changed. In this way it is easy to
see what Mr. Heilman meant by
designating the Seventh day adventists
as a " disturbing element."
AEEOT0S ELECTED.
The Vestry of St. Paul's Church
held a meeting at Col. J. G. Freeze 's
office on Monday evening, and by a
unanimous vote elected Rev. D. N.
Kirkby, assistant minister at Grace
Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. as rector of
the parish. Mr. Kirkby officiated
here two weeks ago last Sunday. His
reply to the call has not yet been re
ceived. Kee Sing, the chinaman, was arrest
ed last Sunday for working in his
garden on that day. The Sunday
previous he built a chicken coop, and
complaint was made that he was work
ing at something every Sunday.
President of Council Creasy was call
ed on, anil tried to persuade him to
cease, but he refused, aud then Chief
Knoir arrested him, and a fine of five
dollaw was imposed.
HLOOMSBUHG, PA.. FRIDAY. MAY 10.
PROFANITY ON THE STREET3.
Rev. G. E. Weeks struck the riht
note in his letter to the Daily. T he
subject referred to by him is one that
has often been alluded to by The
Columbian. If it were generally
known that profanity is punishable by
arrest and a fine for every oath, it
might not be so common on the streets.
Or perhaps it is known, but the prac
tice has gone on so long with im
punity that the loafers know that they
are perfectly safe, even though their
profanity and obscenity are uttered in
the presence and hearing of police
men. A few arrests would check this
thing, and it is higti time, for to our
knowledge it has gone on unmolested
for the past twenty years or more.
Here is Mr. Weeks' letter, above
mentioned.
Bloomshurg, Pa , April 30, 1895.
Editor Daily : I have noted mo-e
than once in your paper a word in be
half of the morals of our community.
That is right, and I, for one, thank
you. Monday evening you made a
motion about profanity on our streets.
I second the motion. It is nuisance
enough to have our sidewalks blocked
with loafing men and boys, but when
they stand there using filthy and pro
fane language, it is outrageous and
lawless in the extreme. What wisdom
is there in putting down these fine
pavements, if they are to be used in
this way ? It would be both pleasant
er and safer for our wives and child
ren to walk the muddy alleys of a
third class town, than it is for them
now to walk the main street of our
city on a summer evening. We can
not say very much about our " beauti
ful town," Mr. Editor, until we clear
away some of the moral filth from our
streets at least. The names of God
and of Jesus Christ are very dear to
me, and when I cannot pass along
the streets without hearing those
names loudly blasphemed, I feel that
in that respect the community is law
less, and that I am not protected in
my proper rights. If men must swear,
let them do it in the hearing only of
those who like to hear that kind -of
talk. I earnestly call for the enforce
ment of the law. Geo. E. Weeks.
The act of 1794 reads as follows :
"If any person of the age of 16
years or upwards, shall profanely curse
or swear, by the name of God, Christ
Jesus or the Holy Ghost, every person
so offending, being thereof convicted,
shall forfeit and pay the sum of sixty
seven cents for every such profane
curse or oath ; and in case he shall
refuse or neglect to pay the said for
feiture, or goods and chattels cannot
be found, whereof to levy the same by
distress, he shall be committed to the
house of correction of the proper
county not exceeding 24 hours for
every such offense of which he is con
victed." Any such person cursing or swear
ing by any other name or thing, shall
on conviction, pay a fine of 40 cents
for every such offense.
As to indecent language, Town or
dinance number one, section four,
reads as follows :
If any person shall use indecent,
rude or wanton language with
in the presence or hearing of females
passing along the street, he shall be
arrested without warrant, onview by
any policeman, and on conviction,
pay a fine not exceeding five dollars
and costs.
Let the pulpit and the press join
hands in this matter, and pound away
until this practice is broken up. The
season is at hand when ladies sit out
on the porches in the evening, but it
is unpleasant to do so because of the
vulgarity and obscenity of passing
crowds of young men who seem to
think they have a special license in
Bloomsburg to offend the ears of
girls and women, as well as of clergy
men and others to whom such Ian
guage is offensive. It cannot be
hoped that all men can be prevented
from swearing, but they can be made
to understand that they must not in
dulge in the habit in places where
sensitive ears may be offended.

P. 0. S. OF A. ANNIVERSARY..
The Opera House was filled to
overflowing on Tuesday night. Every
seat was occupied, and standing room
in the aisles was scarce. Hundreds
ot people who came a little late were
turned away. And hot ! Well, if you
were there we need not tell you any
thing about that, but it was stifling
Notwithstanding this, the audience sat
through the exercises, and their inter
est and attention were held from be
ginning to end. The occasion was
the seventh Anniversary of Washing
ton Camp No. 319, Patriotic Order
Sons of America, the program was
published in The Columbian last
week. Elwell's Orchestra furnished the
instrumental music in its well known
excellent style. A quartette consist
ing of John Sterling, F. B. Hartman,
Ed. Lnt and L. S. Wintersteen sang
"The Star Spangled Banner" and
" America," and did it well. Rev.
G. E. Weeks made the opening
prayer, Rev. P. A. rleilman made an
address, subject, God, and Rev. C. II.
Brandt spoke on "Our Country."
W. A. Evert Esq. delivered an address
of welcome, and M. P. Lutz's topic
was "Our Order." All of these were en
tertaining, eloquent, and instructive.
Miss Evans recited " The Heroes of
Sumter," in a very creditable manner.
The tableaus were well presented, and
like each number on the program,
elicited applause. G. G. Baker presid
ed as director of the exercises.
The hall was profusely and taste
fully draped with the naticnal colors,
and the members of the order wore
their uniforms. This order is one of
the largest in town, and is rapidly
growing. Their principles are patri
otic, and their aim among other things,
is to make good American citizens.
That they have taken hold of the
public sympathy and interest is clearly
shown by the vast concourse of people
that came out to witness their anni
versary exercises.
