Chas. Lee's Qreat London Shows,
Royal circus, European menagerie,
museum of wonders, and free horse
fair will pitch their tents on South
Market Street, in Bloomsburg, Wed
nesday, Oct. ad. Two grand perfor
mances, afternoon and evening. Ad
mission only 25c, children, afternoon,
15c. This is an old time famous and
popular one ring show. A grand
street parade at noon with 2 bands,
100 beautiful horses, gorgeous cages,
chariots, wagons and 125 people. It
is worth traveling miles to see.
We clip the following from the Can
ton, Ohio, Daily Times: ..
Without doubt the best circus per
formance and most novel street pa
rade we have ever had in this city,
was given by the Great London
Shows. Everything about the show
looked bright and sparkling, and at
the ground the utmost attention was
paid by the circus employees to pre
serve order and decorum. There was
a noticeable absence of the usual
penny-fakir and circus hanger on.
The show is exactly what they claim.
The Lambertville, (N. J.) Record,
Aug. 26, '94, says:
Chas. Lee's circus gave two per
formances in this city last Wednesday
afternoon and evening, which were
very largely attended, especially in
the evening, when every seat was
taken and a large number were com
pelled to stand. The performances
were excellent from first to last, every
performer being a star in his particu
lar part. It was the best circus that
has visited Lambertville for many
years past.
The Cooperstown Journal says:
Chas. Lee's Circus gives a remarkable
bright, artistic and interesting exhibi
tion. They performed here Friday
before audiences that packed the big
tents to the ring back. If all the tir
cuses were as good as Chas. Lee's it
would soon become the most popular
institution in the country.
At Bloomsburg, Oct. 2d.
. GRAND JURY REPORT.
The Grand Jury completed their
work Wednesday and were discharged
after receiving the thanks of the
Court for their prompt attention to
business. Their report was as follows:
" The enlargement of the vault in
the office of the Register and Re
corder is necessary.
We also recommend metallic cases
for the public records in said vault.
A book case is needed in the Com
missioners office to hold law books
and law pamphlets. One half dozen
beds are needed in jail, and we find
the 6anitary condition there very poor.
Better sewerage is recommended."
The Second Annual House to
House Visitation by the Columbia

do not attend Sabbatly. School and
Church. Committees from every
Sabbath School in the County will
visit the homes in their districts and

furnished them by the association
demands and extend a cordial invita
tion to all to attend some school and
church of their choice. All Superin
tendents and township Presidents will
please see that the work is thoroughly
done.

HAVE FAITH IN IT.
There is no better evidence of the
prosperity of a Town or a community
than the price for which real estate
utuate in it sells. During the past
few weeks about $150,000 worth of
real estate has been sold in this Town.
Heady purchasers were found for it
and at prices which were considered,
all things taken into consideration, as
being good. It shows conclusively
that the people have faith in the future
of the Town.

TAKE NOTICE.
Next Saturday is the Day of Atone
ment, the most sacred day in the Jew
ish religion. It is called the Sabbath
of Sabbaths, and as a consequence the
stores of J. M. Gidding & Co.. L.
Gross and D. Lowenberg Estate, will
be closed from Friday at 6 P. M. to
Saturday at 6 P. M. at which time
they will be opened. Purchasers

and E. Maier will also be closed up.
Dr. Harter has returned from his
Southern trip -and reports having a
good time. The Knoxville Tenn En
campment was a success, and the
Blue and the Gray marched together
in parade. The Knoxville people
were very kind and generous towards
the northern visitors. The Doctor
was present at the dedication of the
National Military Park at Chickamau
ga, and says it was a grand success.
He also stopped at Chattanooga and
visited the points of interest including
Lookout Mountain. He advises all
people who expect to see the Atlanta
Exposition, not to go before the mid
dle of October or 1st. of November
for the reason that the buildings are
not completed and there is little to be
seen practically speaking and the
weather is to warm. Any one can
see a bird's eye view of the Atlanta
Exposition when completed, at Geo.
P. Ringler's Drug Store.

A CONFIDENTIAL CHAT
between two men or women generally de
velops the fact that one or both are troubled
by sickness of some kind. One man is all
right except his rheumatism, another has a
"slight touch" of dyspepsia, another has
bilious headaches, and another is too nerv
ous to sleep well. What's to be done about it?
The situation is serious. Little things
have way of getting big. Big diseases ara
bad things. Sleeplessness bring irritable
nerves, loss of flesh, loss of appetite. Sleep
less people soon get their bodies -into such
a condition .that disease-germs find.it easy
to lodge there and propagate. People die
from the aggravation of an aggregation of lit
tle things. The more promptly a disease or
disorder is met the more quickly it is cured.
Most all sickness starts in the stomuch,
liver or lungs. Rheumatism, scrofula, ec
zema, consumption, come about because
insufficient, impure or impoverished blood
is present. The diseased blood finds the
"weakest spot in the body and a local symp
tom appears. If the impurity is supplanted
with good, rich, red, healthy corpuscles,
the disease will have nothinsr to feed on.
If the proper cleansing medicine is sent to
the seat of the trouble it will force out the
germs and repair the damage done.

MRS. CALEB BARTON DEAD.
The community was saddened
Thursday morning by receiving the
inulligetice that Mrs. Caleb Barton
had died about 6:30 o'clock. Although
she had been sick for some time, and
her death was not unexpected, yet
there is always a shock that accom
panies such information. As inferred
above she had been a patient snfTerer
for some time, suffering for years from
palsy, and a few weeks Bince Bhe re
ceived a severe fall which is supposed
to have hastened her death. Her
maid "was Creveling and was
married to Mr. Barton in 1862, and
during all these years she was a de
voted, lovine wife. She was a consis
tent member of the Methodist Episco
pal Church and could always be found
in her accustomed seat whenever her
physical condition was such, as to
enable her to do so. She honored
the church by her exemplary life, and
made many '.-nds by her many acts
of kindness. She was retiring in dis
position, liberal in her offerings to
charity and church and will be
greatly missed in the circle in which
she moved.
Mr. Batton has the sympathy of
the entire community in this his be
reavement, coming as it does when he
too is afflicted. She was born Nov.
14th 1814. The funeral services will
be held at her late residence Saturday
af' noon at 3 o'clock.

The funeral of Rev. G. B. Dcchant,

afternoon was largely attended. He
died of nervous prostration Sept. 19th
1895 after several weeks of painful
sickness. He had been a member of

thirty years, and will be greatly missed
in social as well as religious circles.

patrons intending making purchases
will please take notice of this an

of Rev. B. C. Conner last Sunday
morning had reference to the new
church project. He showed conclu
sively the necessity of one. and the
advisability of building it now. The
congregation are all of one mind on
this question and undoubtedly the
building will be pushed to a speedy
completion. The plans for the same
were on exhibition in the vestibule.
In the sweepstake race held at Mil

Time about 2:35.
The sewer on Eighth and one half
streets is giving the town a great deal
of annoyance. The street commiss
ioner has been at work at it for more
than a week. The obstruction has
caused the sewerage to back into the
jail creating a terrible odor and work
ing great inconvenience to the inmates
of that institution. On last Sunday
a trench was dug down Iron Street to
relieve the trouble.

plete the century, arriving here at

Not Correct.
" Persons contemplating marriage
can save the expense and annoyance
of going to the County Seat for a
license, by securing the same from
the nearest Justice of the Peace. I his
is in accordance with the recently
revised marriage laws of Pennsyl
vania."
The above article is going the
rounds of the newspapers, but it is all
wrong. There was no such Act of
Assembly passed. All there is of it
is as follows : Under the old law it
was necessary to solemnize the mar
riage in the County in which the
license was obtained. Under the law
as revised, the certificate is good in
any County ot the State.
