A BUSY INDUSTRY.
A stroll through the Bloomsburg
Car Manufacturing Company's plant
this morning found every department
in full working order. Just now they
are working night and day in order to
accomplish what seems almost an im
possible task, that is, to build twenty
five 40,000 pound gondola cars until
next Tuesday. Through the energy
of Mr. J. K. Lockard the contract
was secured, with the proviso that
the cars must be in New York on
Wednesday ready for loading on a
vessel for Guatemala their destina
tion. Here again, Mr. Lockard dis
plays his indomitable will. It must
be done. The contract must be
secured. The cars must be delivered.
Car builders are needed. By telegraph
and telephone they are summoned,
and Thursday morning finds a large
gang of men at work. It would be
only doing Mr. Lockard justice were
we to say m connection with this
article that the plant is now building
a lot of cars which were designed by
him and which will be sent to Cuba.
In addition to all this the demand
for his rotary dump strfl continues
and he is sending them to almost all
parts ot jhe World. The contract
which Mr. Lockard has undertaken
is all the more difficult, when we take
into consideration the fact that the
cars are built at the plant and tested
and then taken apart and loaded on
gondolas and taken to their destina
tion. The people of this place have
reason to congratulate themselves
upon the fact that they have an indus
try in its midst whose products are in
such demand.
PROPOSAL.
Sealed proposals will be received
up to Saturday, March 14, at noon
by B. W. Jury at his office over First
National Bank, for the taking down
of the entire brick work and plaster
ing throughout of the present M. E.
church of Bloomsburg. This work
embraces the above work and the
removing of all the offalls and rubbish
from time to time as said Jury may
direct and to clean off all good brick
fit to use again and pile and pack
them each kind separately out of the
way on the property as directed. All
frames and wood work of every kind
will be taken down by the carpenters,
and not included in this contract.
Bidders will state the shortest time
they reserve to do said work and will
bid per thousand for all brick saved
cleaned fit to use again. Jury re
serves the right to reject any or all
bids.
Lease of Farm.
If a tenant is on a farm he muot act
according: to the terms of the lease
even If It is merely verbal. It la
matter of proof what the terms wer
at the time possession was given. II
is much better for both parties to mak
a written agreement even after noini
months have expired. Otherwise th
tenant is liable to be ousted by th
owner at short notice, and on the othei
hand the owner is apt to have troubl
in proving what were the terms of th
verbal agreement In case either part
wishes to avoid his bargain.

The superiority 01 these goods is acKnowledged by all who
wear them. The best of silk, the finest of Australian wool, the
purest of dye, together with the great care used in their making,
have brought about this result, and produced black silk and wool
and all-wool fabrics perfect in beauty, finish, dye, style and wear
ing qualities.
Wearing black" was aforetime the "ign of mourning, but of
late years it has ceased to be a sign of bereavement, and is used as
much out of mourning as in it. Women have recognized and bow
ed to the fact that no color is so becoming, or lends to the wearer
such a distinguished appearance ; and as a consequence, the de
mand for handsome black goods is imperative and widespread.
The Priestleys have met this demand, and offer a collection of
black goods so large it is bewildering.
Among some of the standard plain fabrics may be mentioned:
-SILK WARP
Henrletta, Eudora (,'n three weights)
Melroso,
Drap 'd Alma,
Crape Cloth,
Tamlse,

And in addition to these, each season the assortment includes all
