A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR.
It was a lecture on "The New
Woman." What the speaker said was
this : " When the New Woman gets
her rights, she can ride a bicycle as
freely as a man." But the compositor
got the types mixed a little, and when
the report of the lecture appeared
next day in the paper the lecturer
was horrified to see that he was made
to say that " when the New Woman
gets her tight?, she can ride a bicycle
as freely as a man."
SOMETHING BICE.
Edward Giger, of the Rail Road
House, has quite a museum. It con
sists of seven large, and two small
grey squirrels. Ed. and for that mat
ter his father too, Uke great pleasure
in exhibiting thti. The large wire
cage in which t'.iey are confined, is
divided into three compartments, and
is perfectly adapted for the purpose
for which it is intended. It is a
pleasing sight to see them frolicing in
their cages and any one will feel am
ply re paid who takes the trouble to
go and see them. It is a rare occur
rence for them to be born in captivity.
! A MERRY TIME.
Mr. and Mrs II. F. Deiterich,
made sixteen little girls very happy
last Saturday afternoon. They decid
ed to give a party in honor of their
daughters Aleta and Letha and ac
cordingly the above mentioned num
ber of their playmates were invited.
They were conveyed to Oak Grove
and their shouts of laughter made the
old grove ring and reverberate. The
entire afternoon was devoted to
games, and at five o'clock they were
summoned to supper. And such a
supper 1 The refreshments were in
abundance and of endless variety and
gotten up in such a manner as is
known ta only the Host and Hostess
The festivities were concluded by each
guest receiving a souvenir which was
in the shape of a beautiful picture ot
two little girls, to which was tied by
pink and blue ribbons a card bear
ing the inscription " Compliments of
Aleta and Leatha." They departed
to their several homes feeling under
great obligation to Mr. and Mrs.
Dieterich and hoping for a speedy
return of a like occasion.

PATRONIZE IT.
Our curb markets are good, and
should be better patronized by the
people. It is to their interest to do
this, as the more purchasers, the
more there will be brought to it and
offered for sale ; hence the greater
variety and the better the selection.
Those who wait until after the market
closes and the vegetables &c. are
brought to their door, have only wriat
is left from which to purchase. Were
the market well attended the prices
would be lower, as there would be
more competition.
Our peopb complain about the
prices and they are in a great measure
responsible for it. Hucksters cannot
bring to the market a wagon load of
produce, sell half of it, and take the
rest home, and sell as cheaply as he
could were he able to dispose of the
whole load. This matter is worthy of
consideration.
COLUMBIA COUNTY FAIR.
The forty first exhibition of this
popular association will be held on
their spacious grounds in Bloomsburg
October 8 to 12 inclusive. It is the
purpose of the present management
to make an advance, if that be possi
ble, upon previous years both in ex
hibits and liberal premiums paid. The
purses have been adjusted to meet the
demands of the patrons and have been
increased over the past year. From
the number of inquiries received and
the spaces already engaged for exhi
bits, the coming exhibition will be a
successful one. Bicycle races will also
add to the attractions. Good music
fhas been secured and special rates of
tare on all railroads.
A novel and world wide special at
traction has been secured. A branch
Express office will be established upon
the grounds during Fair wtek.

The meeting in the V. M. C A.
tent last Sunday, was a success in
every particular. The attendance was
unusually large, the music excellent,
and the address which was delivered
by Secretary Boas, was in keeping
with the occasion. Inasmuch as it
was near the anniversary of the battle
of Antietam, the services were along
the patriotic line. The address was
listened to by a lame number of
veterans, and every one came away
leenng amply re paid for the time
expended.
