THE COLUMBIAN, BLOQMSBURG, PA. 8 ill 1 1 Why let your neighbors know it? And why give them a chance to guess you are even five or ten years more? Better give them good reasons for guessing the other wav. It is very easy: j for nothing tells of age so quickly as gray nair. is a youth-renewer. It hides the age under a luxuriant growth of hair the color of youth. It never fails to restore color to gray hair. It .will stop the nair from coming out also. It feeds the hair bulbs. Thin hair becomes thickhair, and short hair becomes long hair. It cleanses the scalp; re moves all dandruff, and prevents its formation. We have a book on the Hair which we will gladly send you.

Hess' jew elry store for the past three weeks, was concluded Saturday evening when the large field pumpkin was opened 1 and the seeds counted. It was just eight o'clock when Tom H. Vanderslice of the Bloomsburg Daily and D. J. Tasker of this office, ! the judges appointed by Mr. Hess, entered the store. They at once re paired to the rear end of the room and after being supplied with the necessary tools began their work. The judges labored industriously for half an hour, and after a careful count the pumpkin was fcund to con tain 648 seeds. A very singular feat ure was that no one succeeded in guessing the exact number, the nearest being 650 of which there were five. These were placed in a box, and after being thoroughly shaken up, the hrst one drawn out contained the name of V. J. Rawlings of Bloomsburg, and he was awarded the prize, a beautiful folding camera, valued at $10. The contest revealed the fact theie are a great many people in vicinity who don't know a great about pumpkins. For instance, person puessed 12 seeds, while that this deal one an- other placed his guess at 7,300. The fruit of the field, by reason of its long confinement in the window, was slightly decomposed, and the odor which the judges were obliged to sniff, while performing their work was not very pleasant, but they were amp ly repaid later in the evening, when Mr. Hess, gracefully conducted them to Housel & Son's dining room and treated them to a sumptous oyster supper. Organ Recital. Mr. Thomas Whitney Surette, staff lecturer on Music for the American University-Extension Society of Phila delphia, is giving a series of six lec tures at the Normal School on Tues day evenings. Two have already been given. They are under the auspices of the Normal School, and at the re quest of Dr. Welsh, the rector and vestry of St. Paul's P. E. church gave the use of the church for a free organ recital on Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the recital being included in the course. At the appointed ' hour the church was packed to its utmost capacity, many people standing. Mr. Surette arrived on the Reading train, and was driven at once to the church, and played the following program: Prelude to "Die Meistersinger" Wagner Bride's song, - . Jensen Choral and variations, - Bach Prelude to "Lohengren," Wagner The Cello Players, from "Por traits," an Album of Piano forte pieces, - Surette March, - - Guilmant Selection from "Parsifal" Wagner He is a hne performer, and consid ering the fact that he had never seen the organ before, he handled the splendid instrument wonderfully well. Though the numbers were mostly heavy, they were apparently enjoyed by the large audience. Mr. Surette's lectures are illustrated by playing on the piano by himself. Tickets for single lecture, 25 cents. Slightly Injured. Considerable excitement was cre ated on North Iron street yesterday morning by a collision between the United States Express and the Lead er Department Store delivery wagons. The former was in charge of Joe Pur se!, and in turning around the wagon toppled over, frightening the team which started to run down the street. When in front of the Episcopal Parish House, the Express wagon collided with that of the Leader Store. Pursel was thrown out on the ground, but was only slightly injured. The Lead er wagon was considerably damaged. The horses broke loose fiom the Ex press wagon, but were caught by Samuel Carbaugh.

A Most Successful Performance by Home Talent. A Large and Appreciative Audience. . "The Old Maid's Convention and Its Results" which was given at the Opera House last night will go on record as one of the most successful entertainments given by local talent that ever took place in this city. Our citizens had confidence in its success and they patronized it liberally. The parquet and dress circle were literally packed, while a large number of pers ons found seats on the gallery. The piece is purely a comedy and it is to the credit of our home talent that they were able to bring out all the points amusing situations with such strong effect. The audience was well pleased and showed its appreciation by liberal applause. In the course of the entertainment some very fine music was introduced. The performers revealed as much cleaverness in their make up and old fashioned style of dress as in their performance. Indeed it was the quaint outlandish costumes worn that con tributed not a little to the enjoyment of the evening. Ine entertainment was solely in charge of Miss Dunkle who not only conducted the rehearsals, but also 'all the buiness connected with the per formance even to the smallest details. She has given our town a fine example of culture, business ability and per servance combined. In the hands of a person not thus qualified the enter tainment might not have beeu such a well rounded success. Danville News Oct. 14th, The "Old Maids' Convention" is a benefit for Mr. S. C.
