About a year ago he conducted meetings in Blooms burg, and will be well remembered by all who heard him. , Vincent R. Shultz an old and re spected resident of Hemlock town ship this county, died at his home in that place late Saturday afternoon aged about eighty-one years. Fun eral services were held Tuesday morning and interment at New .Columbia Cemetery. We learn from a Wilkesbarre paper that Frank Aurand, formerly of this town, now residing at Lewis burg, and Miss Margaret Williams of Plymouth were quietly married at Scranton on Monday of last week. Mr. Aurand's many friends in town extend congratulations. A few evenings ago a gray team hitched to a heavy farm wagon, was found walking leisurely down Centre street without any driver. Albert Rawlings stopped them and tied them at Keefer's Meat Market until the owner found them. Don't leave your horses untied on the street. Daniel McIIenry of Stillwater, has awarded to T. H. Edgar of the same place the contract to build two large barns on his two farms a short distance below Stillwater. Mr. Mc Henry's farms are among the finest in the Fishingcreek valley, the land is as level as a floor, and very pro ductive. Mr. E. Newton Wigfall of Phila delphia, and Miss Henrietta Hughes Jones, of Reading, were married at the bride's home on Monday even ing, Rev. Dr. W. P. Orrick per forming the ceremony. They will reside in Raritan, N. j. The bride groom is a brother of Samuel Wig fall of this town. A large audience at the Opera House witnessed Lyman H. Howe's Warograph pictures, on Friday evening. It is the best thing of the kind ever shown here, and we have not seen its equal even in the larger cities. The entertainment was repeated on Wednesday even ing in the Normal Auditorium. The first of a series of progressive euchre parties between the Bicyde Clubs of this city and Danville was played at the latter place last even ing, and resulted in a victory for Bloomsburg, our boys winning 66 out of 120 games. They would probably have made a better show ing still had W. II. Eyer, not miss ed the train. (?) A Steiuway piano has been pur chased by the Lutheran Sunday school- It will be opened for use Thursday Apr. 13, at which time a musical will be given. A very in teresting progtam is being prepared which will be published later. An offering (strictly silver) will be token at the door. Proceeds for piano fund. The public are cordially invited. The Sunday afternoon services in the Methodist Mission were very interesting and largely attended, the program being especially adapted for the easter season. Rev. B. C. Conner made a short address, Miss Natalie Foulk sang "The Choir Boy." with a good voice, and the other musical numbers were also nicely rendered. The attendance at the services during all of the winter months has been very good, and the Sunday school membership is con stantly increasing. William H. Slate is the superintendent.

McKINNEY, No. 8 Ea4t Main St. The Middleburg A'acs Item plant, the only Democratic newspa per in Snyder county, was closed by the Sheriff last week. This leaves Snyder county without a Democratic organ. A walk through Oak Grove shows that one time beautiful and popular spot to be in a run down condition. The last four seasons have marked its decadence. The wind storm of two years ago is probably respon sible for a great deal of its torn up appearance, but the work of the des tructive boys is also very much in evidence. Boards have been torn off of the sheds, seats broken down,' and many other acts which tend to lessen the beauty of the place have been committed. ; UP TflU OEEEK- We are glad to note that at pres ent writing Wm. Unangst is im proving, although he is not out ol danger as yet, and he may have a relapse at any time. Should he get one of his unconscious spells it will be exceedingly doubtful that he would recover. The members of the Grand Army have attended him and watched over him nights, which has been a great relief to his worn out family. The meaibers of the Orangeville Post, to which he be longs, also his neighbors, have paid him due regard. In our next re port we hope to say that he is so far convalescent as to be able to walk about with some of his old life and energy. Our fishermen are awaiting eager ly for the 15th of April to catch the " speckled beauties." This has been a favorable season for maple sugar, and the sap has not quit ruuning as yet. Benton expects to have a big time on the Fourth of July, under the auspices of the Sons of Veterans. Utt, of Rhorsburg Hotel, has postponed his opening 'till travel becomes better. Mrs. Bert Freas, of Scranton, Miss Carrie Unangst, of Wyoming, and Mrs. Leisenring, of Nanticoke, have been visiting Wm. Unangst, the father of the former two, during the past week. The Easter exercises on Sunday evening, at Asbury, were very en tertaining. The weather has interfered with the progress of the John G. Mc Henry distillery, at Benton, but as soon as the weather permits, it will be pushed on with vigor. The spring and summer months will find all the buildings completed and the business in full operation. Byron Freas, son of Peter Freas, is out as a candidate for Register and Recorder. We are confident that he would make a good officer. A. N. Yost is another candidate, and should he meet with success, there is no doubt he will give satis faction. "Winter is lingering in the lap of spring. " The old " bald head ' ' should be kicked off without any further hesitation. The snow flakes on Sunday last flew so thick you couldn't get your breath. E. J. Bowman made a recent visit to Berwick, and the reports about the further prospects of busi ness connected with the Jackson & Woodiu works, were very encour aging. He got the information di rect that the change into a " trust " will insure plenty of work and steady business iu the future. Plenty of work is the poor man's friend, and it is the only hope and help he has got. No country pros-1 pers without it. We hope the same ! for Bloomsburg, and that her pub lic 'enterprises will take on new life this spring and continue right along. Strong talk of a steel plant in Berwick in the uear future, and the facilities for trade will be more ex tensive in the shape of a trolley line from Scranton to Northumber land. Hardy Edgar, proprietor of the planing mill, this side of Stillwater, has erected a large addition to his mill a chopping mill. This will please the surrounding farmers. Panay and Iloilo. Just at present the American people will be intsrestert in the intoimaiion concerning the city of Iloilo and the island of Panay, upon which it is sit uated, and of which it is the capital, Panay, according to some authorities, is the third largest of the Philippines, being exceeded in area only by the great island of Luzon to the north and the second largest island of Mindanao to the south. Between these two great islands lie a group of smaller ones known as the Visayas. beveral of these are of considerable size,including Negros, Cebu, Samar, Leyte and Mm doro, some of them by some authorit ies being credited with being slightly larger than Panay. The island of Palawan, which lies west of the Vis ayas, is also about as large as Panay. But the latter, however its precedence in the matter of size may be disputed over those named as its competitors, exceeds them all and also Mindanao in population, ranking after Luzon in this respect. Panay, according to some authorities, contains 4,540 square miles. Its population is estimated at from 000.000 to 1,000.000. Iloilo is next to Manila, the principal sea port of the Philippines, and its reduction and that of the island of Panay to American control, coupled with the occupation of Luzon, must be follow ed by the surrender of the whole ot the islands to the authority of the United States. Panay is triangular in form. Its northern coast is about 75 miles long, the western one about 100 miles, and the third side of the island, the south eastern, about 125 milas in length. Iloilo is situated along the last men tioned coast near its center. The is land is divided into three provinces Antique, which lies along the west coast; Capiz, in the north, ard Iloilo in the southeast. In general the is land is wild with very high coasts, ex cept in the northeastern part, where the coasts are somewhat marshy. A mountain chain crosses the island, from Point Juaraojurao on the south, as far as Point Potol on the north, following a direction almost parallel with the west coast. Large groups of sierras branch out to the right and left of the central chain; on the eastern slope begins another chain run ning notheast to the extreme north easterly point of the island. Owing to its cragginess the island has a great number of streams running in differ ent directions, the valleys of which are very fertile. The mountains are also covered with luxuriant vegetation. There are gold and copper mines and much tobacco, sugar, rice and abaca is raised. There is good pastureage for cattle and horses, and large herds are raised. The largest population and drincipal industries are in the province of Iloilo, in which the operations of the American troops are now being conducted. In that province about 30,000 looms are employed manufac turing fabrics of sinamay, pina, jusi, etc. As to the city of Iloilo itself, there are very conflicting accounts concern ing its population, the figures ranging from 10,000 to 30,000. It is 335 miles from Manila, on a low, sandy flat on the right bank of a small river, which is navigable to the city's wharves by the vessels drawing not over 15 feet. At the end of the flat on which the city is situated is a spit on which there is a fort, close to which there is deep water. It is a town of great commer cial importance and a brisk coasting trade is carried on from it. The better class of houses are built on strong wooden posts, two or three feet in di ameter, that reach to the roof ; stone walls to the first floor, with wooden windows above and an iron roof. The poorer class of dwellings are flimsy erections of nipa, built on four strong posts. It is these latter houses which are reported destroyed by the insur gents, and they can doubtless be easily replaced, while their owners, because of the mildness of the climate, will probably suffer but slight discomfort. The whole island of Panay is about one-third larger than Porto Rico, and its reduction to American authority is not likely to prove a very serious task. The possession of Iloilo give the American forces a commanding posi tion in the whole Visayas group, and they are likely to meet with little trouble in securing the submission of the other islands belonging to it. The Filipino population in the great island of Mindanao, to the south of the Vis ayas, is small and scattered in towns along the coast, where our naval ves sels can enforce our anthority. The bulk of the population of this island is in the interior and of a savage or semi civilizcd character. Notice. I hereby notify the public that I purchased, from Frank Sponenberg, all the grain in the ground, on the Sponenburg farm in Briarcreek town ship. Geo. W. Welliver. The W. C. T.
