To Keep Out Flowers.
Flowers wi'.h woody stems, such as
roses, chrysanthemums, etc., may be
kept in water a long time bv notchintr
the stalk from ths bottom nearly to
the bloom at intervals of about three
fourths of an inch. They are thus
enabled to suck up more water than
they can from the cut stalk alone. At
this season when flowers are getting
scarce it is desirable to keep them as
long as possible.
Special Meeting of Wyoming Classis
of the Unformed Clnircli in tho United
States.
Wyoming Classis of the Reformed

Bloomsburg was chosen President

received from Zion's Classis Synod of
the Potomac. A call to him from the
Mausdale Charge was confirmed and
the following committee was appoint
ed for his installation : Revs. 1). W.
Ebbert, C. B. Alspach, and C. II.

Alspach delivered the charge to the

his work under very favorable circum

Don't Vote In Soaring Creek.
Voters in the election districts of
Roaring Creek, Columbia county, had
no time last week to exercise their
sovereign privilege. The poll books
and ballots were returned the day
after election with the explanation
that the voters were to busy shocking
corn to attend the election, and no
one could be prevailed upon to serve
as judge or clerk.
The above article appeared in the
Daily Local of Ashland, last Friday.
We don't know where they obtained
their information upon which ths arti
cle was based, but the person who
furnished it, should be made to feel
the effects of the law in regard to
furnishing false statements to newspa
pers. It is absolutely false in every
particular. Newspaper proprietors
and editors should satisfy themselves
beyond any doubt as to the truth of
such statements before giving them
publicity. It may however originated
in the fertile mind of the editor.
Washington Camp, No. 540, P. O.
S. of A., of Catawissa, has secured
Miss S. Clara Leighner, of Slippery
Rock. Pa., elocutionist and lecturer.
to give an entertainment in the Opera
House on the evening of Friday, Nov.
20th. The lady comes with the high
est recommendations. Admission to
all parts of the hall, 25 cents.
Massachusetts Women Won't Vote,
The vote in Massachusetts, last
Tuesday, on the question of woman
suffrage, was very significant; and
shows the women of that State to take
very little interest in conferring the
right of suffrage on their own sex.
The figures show that in 19 cities,
10,896 registered, but only one-third
of them went to the polls and voted
in favor of municipal suffrage. In
two cities scarcely one ninth voted,
and in one, Fall River, only 300
voted of 2,127 registered. The test
of woman suffrage in Massachusetts
was the severest blow the cause has
ever received. Nowhere was it more
ably championed with so little result.

An Indemnity from many Mills.
Under a recent act of the Supreme
Court, the modern roller process, used
in many flouring mills in the country,
has been declared an infringement on
a patent issued to one, Samuel M.
Ban, in 1878. Later he assigned it
to II. B. and L. B. Keiper, of Lan
caster, who brought suit to recover
damages for the infringement.
The Court has ruled that every
mill, using the process, must pay an
indemnity of $100. We understand
that there are several mills in Colum
bia County that will come under the
ban.
There is talk that all owners, who
are not in any of the miller's associa
tions in the State, will organize to
fie;ht the levy. Several of the Colum
bia County mills belong to associations
that have already made settlements.
For lieu of Sooiety.
What is the use of dressing up to
pay a call when that cough makes you
a burden to yourself and a nuisance
to your friends? Take something
for it. There is nothing as good as
a twenty-five cent bottle of Ely's
Pineola Balsam, which is soothing to
the throat and lungs. It will relieve
the cough at once and in a few days
you will almost forget that you had a
cough.
Do You Want Holiday Trade?
An advertisement judiciously placed
is now the proper thing to catch the
holiday trade. The fact that the
Columbian is constantly growing in
popularity and its circulation steadily
increasing readily suggests it as the
best advertising medium to which the
local business men have access.
