On Wednesday and Thursday each

people who were coming home to eat
their thanksgiving turkey. There were
several family re-unions and every one
appeared to be having a good time.
ine aay was a perfect one.
A large number of the members of
Washington Camp No. no P. O. S
of A. attended the flag presentation
at Turkey Hill School-house in the
afternoon. The address of Rev.
Minsker was replete with good
advice.
The services in the different
churches were well attended. The
address of Rev. D. W. Kirkby at St.
Paul was in keeping with the day, and
attentively listened to by a good sized
audience.
The union services in the Metho
dist church was presided over by Rev.
C. H. Brandt president of the Pastors
Union, and the sermon was delivered
by Rev. B. C. Conner, Pastor of the
church, and was said by all who were
fortunate enough to hear it to be a
masterly effort. We expect to pub
lish it in full in a short time.
Quite a number of our people inter
viewed their old friends 'Tom and
Jerry."
There was abundance of entertain
ment in the evening, and it was of
such a varied character that every one
could find something suited to their
taste. The lecture of II. L. Hastings
in the Lutheran church attracted a
good sized audience, and all who at
tended were not only entertained, but
instructed. He proved beyond ques
tion, the authenticity of the Scripture.
The entertainment of the Normal
Auditorium was well attended, and
Dr. Leon held forth in the Opera
House.
One redeeming feature of the day
was the absence of any visible intoxi
cation. Fire at Oentralia.
The home of Wm. Keonig, owned
by L. A. Riley & Co., on Locust
Avenue, Centralia, came near burning
to the ground Tuesday morning.
Several children were playing in the

a lounge, which communicated to the
house. A bucket brigade did noble
service and saved the building from
complete destruction. Quite a bit
of excitement was occasioned for a
time.

night. On the following morning
when doing un the chores at the barn
he discovered that the horse, cart and
harness were missing. About 3
o'clock in the morning Mat Gearhart
heard a conveyance passing in the di

the horse and cart as far as Ezra Wil
son's which was in the direction of
Benton. The horse is brown, with a
white star in the face, has a white
front foot and weighs about eleven
hundred pounds. No suspicious per

and hence no clue to the thief is yet
discovered.

William T. Calender's liorse and

last Sunday night, came to Phillip
uiDDons on Monday morning about
6 o'clock. The thief either feared
detection, or wished to make the early
train at Benton. At the Benton
bridge, the horse and rig were turned
home without the driver. As it rained
the thief was easily tracked, and this
may be the cause for abandoning the
stolen property. A robe was found
in the cart which did not belonar to

to Wilbur 13. bhultz, wno had one

horse, when taken up was in a lather

son of Isaiah Barton, and died at his
home on Second Street on Wednes

half past nine o'clock, aged 83 years
and three months. Because of great
age and his prominence in local af
fairs and in church work, he was one
of the best known residents in Blooms

for his upright and fair dealing, and
his christian character, and as a con

of all who had the pleasure of his ac

In 1836 he married Sarah, a
daughter of 1'eter Rupert. She died
in 1854 and in 1862 he married
Delilah Creveling, who was his faith
ful companion in life until she passed
from earth on the 26th of September,
Mr. Barton for many year was one
of the most active and influential
members of the Bloomsburg Metho
dist Episcopal Church. He was class
leader until he asked to be relieved
on account of advancing years but he
retained his place as a trustee and
was the president of the board at the
time of his death. Five children
survive, Evaline, wife of Dr. McRey-
nolcfs, 1 nomas J., Catharine B., wife
of Alfred Ale, Emma B., widow of

We have to crowd on steam during these four weeks, trade must move
at a livelier pace. Goods must go and dollars must come even if prices are
clipped to a point where profits nearly vanish. The furs, the cloaks, the dress
goods, the silks and the underwear, especiall y the first two, all share in the
liberal reductions made to bring you to th e store now.
CLOAK NEWS.
You have seen and admired the
season's jaunty coats in the tempting
rough and smooth fabrics. Ferhaps
you have thought it takes a goodly
amount of cash to own one of these
fetching garments. Wrong t Several
hundred gaiments in just the cut and
cloth that are most fashionable are
here for you to choose from. Reduc
tions all the way through. Everyone
has been reduced. We give two very
interesting samples; others just as good:
