Notice,
"At a regular meeting of the Bloom
Poor Directors April 27, 1895, a reso
lution was adopted that all orders for
relief must be signed by a majority of
the Directors, and any order without
being properly signed by at least two
Directors will not be accepted or paid.
Isaiah Hageniiuch, Pres."
The passing of the above resolution
is one of many foolish acts consum
mated by Messrs. Rhoads and Hagen
buch. Who but them would pass a
resolution that orders for relief must
be signed by a majority of the board?
Section 12 of Act of i860, which ap
plies to the Bloomsburg Poor District,
provides as follows: ''That all orders
issued for the relief of any poor per
son or persons within said township
shall be directed to the directors of
the poor of Wilkes-Barre twp.: and
upon the receipt of such orders, said
directors, or any one of them, shall
immediately proceed to inquire into
the circumstances, and if the person
or persons therein named are found
by him entitled to relief, he or they
shall furnish such relief, or cause such
person or persons to be removed and
taken to said poor house, and there
kept and maintained until legally dis
charged; any one of said directors
shall have authority to direct a poor
person to be admitted into said poor
house: but no person shall be dis
charged therefrom unless at his or her
own request, except by the direction
of at least two of said directors."
So it will be seen that in relieving
poor persons one director has just as
much power as a majority of the
board, and the passing of such foolish
resolutions shows just what length
Rhoads and Hagenbuch will go in
their efforts to defeat and prevent the
voters of the district from having the
benefit of my experience as a director.
1 he resolution was aimed at myself
and was intended to tie my hands so
would be unable to do business for
the district. The law is on my side
and I propose to exercise my rights
as a director, and any order signed by
myself will be honored or I will know
the reason why. The public will take
notice and act accordingly.
O. T. WILSON,
Poor Director.

Main Street is receiving attention
from the Street Commissioner. This
is work in the right direction. The
old adage " a stitch in time saves
nine" is exemplified in this work.
W. B. Taylor has the paper hangers
and painters at work on his home on
Iron Street. There is no telling what
improvements he will make before he
stops, as he never does an) thing by I
halves.
The large front show window of
the " Leader " presents a very fine
appearance. It shows a bed room
completely furnished. The party who
did the decorating deserves great
credit for the taste displayed.
The Ent building is being repainted
and it adds greatly to the appearance
of the structure There are some
other buildings along Main Street
which would be greatly improved were
the same kind ot work Cone on
them.

Stephen E. Cook died last Thurs
day night at the Poor House. He
was aged about seventy-eight years
and left to survive him two sons, Rush

were held from the residence of his

day afternoon at 1 :3o o'clock.
The sale of the brick building on
Main Street belonging to the estate of I
Thomas Miller and occupied by
Schuyler's hardware store was on
Wednesday afternoon of last week
sold to J. M. Gidding at public sale,
but on account of some misunder
standing it was declared no sale.
The Evangelistic services which
Rev. Samuel Blair had been holding
at the mission on Eighth Street have
closed and the results of his labors
were about sixty conveisions. He is
now holding similar ones at Shick-
shinny under the auspices of the
Epworth League of the M. E. Church
and has already had wonderful
success.
