At Ann Arbor she took a full four
years Classical and Literary course,

in literature, mathematics and
languages.

quality. Nothing of a shoddy nature dare
go in this establishment. Therefore when

To the Christian Endeavor Soci
eties of Columbia and Montour
counties :
The time to prepare for our next
convention, to be held in Scranton,
Oct. 6, 7 and 8, is now at hand. The
State officers and the societies of
Scranton are anxious to make this the
very best convention that has ever
been held in the Keystone State, and
are doing all they can to make it so.
The attendance is an important
matter, and one which the societies of
those counties near that in which the
convention is held have largely in
their own hands. The societies of
our Bi-county Union must share this
responsibility. We will be expected
to send a large delegation to the con
vention. This is not only our duty
but our privilege, and let us so regard
it. Let us begin immediately to talk
up the convention, to prepare to go
ourselves and to urge others to go.
The Grand Army re-union and
picnic at Island Park near Northum
berland last Thursday was a decided
success. Over five thousand people
were in attendance from several coun
ties. The veterans from Bloomsburg
who went down were G. W. Sterner,
Fred Gilmore, Nathan Fowler, Mr.
McPherson, T. J. Hoffman, Thomas
Sands, Daniel Laubach, Montgomery
Williams, W. D. Moyer, C. P. Sloan,
Isaiah Hagenbuch, Robert Morris,
Zach. Thomas, Benj. Sha.pless, Jos.
Weidle, Philip Moyer, Jacob Hartzel,
W. O. Holmes, Charles Kunkel,
Thomas Gunton, Benj. Hicks, Wm.
Gilmore, and John Turner and Wm.
Hagenbuch of Espy. In addition to
these a large number of our citizens
who did not belong to the association
joined the excursion as did also the
Ladies' Circle.
Under the ordinance as passed by
the council, dogs are not allowed to
roam at large without muzzles after
the first of September. It is only
when they are accompanied by their
owners or masters that they are allowed
to go unmuzzled. Owners of dogs
should make a note of this.
