something sticks. Then the process of

to the school, and any efloit put forth
to increase the same should be patron

t4ie end of a month, he and his parents
be notified, that should he fail to make
a higher average at the end of the

grade,

Benton Sunday School Imnitute.
Mr. W. R. Kocher, one of the lead
ing Sunday School workers in the
county, as per agreement, secured a
special train to leave Bloomsburg for
Benton on Saturday evening at 6.30,
and with a congenial crowd of fifty or
sixty we arrived at Benton on time,
7.30, and found the pretty M. E.
Church packed from the pulpit to the
back door, with many unable to gain
admission. The services began with
a praise number for 30 minutes con
ducted by F. B. Hartman with Mrs.
Fred Holmes as organist, assisted by
the Y. M. C. A. orchestra of our own
town of which we are all proud.
Messrs. H. V. White, S. C. Creasy
and Prof. C. H. Albert gave interest
ing and profitable addesses, alternated
by selections from the Male Quartette,
bass solo by O. H. Yetter, duet by
Miss Hat tie Ringrose and Ed. Ent,
and a sacred selection by the orchestra.
Our party was pleasantly looked
after, and made to feel at home by
kindness shown us by Revs. Hutton
and Owens, District Prest. R. T.
Smith and Supt. Edwards. We all feel
it was good to be there.
Attracts Attention.
The pavement and street in front
of the mammouth clothing establish
ment of J. M. Gidding & Co. is crowd
ed every night with people who are
anxious to see the electric light sign
in front of their place of business. It
consists of about one Hundred and
fifty incandescents lights which are
placed against the front of the build
ing in such a manner as to spell the
following Nov Sales. They come on,
and off automatically. Some times
the whole sign is visable, then all is
dark. The letter N becomes visable,
then O and so on until the whole
sign is ablaze.
It is the most unique arrangement
in the way of a sign ever displayed in
the town, and the whole thing is in
perfect keeping with the snag, push,
and enterprise of Mr. Gidding. It
has had the effect of adding to his
already large number of customers,
as they come to see the sign, anil
when shown the inducements they
have in the way of clothing, they can
not resist the bargains, and de
part, not only pleased with having
seen the sights, but also with their
purchase.
