Person, well known in Bloonisburg, who has been news editor of the Williamsport Grit for the past nine years, has accepted the city editorship of the William sport Sun. Mr. Person will enter upon his new duties next week. He adopted the printing business as his profession for life and learned the trade in the Columhian office about fifteen years ago. We wish him success in his new position. The New Year was ushered in by the shooting of fire crackers and guns, the ringing of church bells, blowing whistles and other noise producing contrivances The day was observed by the banks and postoffice, while some of our mer chants locked their doors and took inventory. Many visitors were in town, and many home circles were completed by the presence of mem bers who came to spend the day with their parents. Hood's Sarsaparilla Proverb Cal ender for 1900 is one of the prettiest we have seen. It is borne in front of two little girls, whose fresh, sweet faces and dainty robes of blue and pink form a pleasing pict ure upon which to look during the coming year. The calender is printed from large, plain type and gives valuable information. The calender is made to stand alone or it can be suspended from the wall. Everyone will want Hood's Cal ender and you should ask your druggist for it at once. You can obtain one, if more convenient, by sending 6 cents in stamps to C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.

Never in the history of North Carolina have so many charters for cotton mills been taken out as in 1899, nor so much capital invested in such enterprises. Death claimed Isaac Boone, a well-known resident of Orange township, Saturday afternoon. He was bowed down by weight of years, having been born in 18 16. Only a few years ago, the cream ery was almost an unknown quan tity as an industry. At the present time there are over 9000 of these butter factories in this state alone, which is about one-fifth of the whole number in the United States.

JUiis Thrush, of Philadelphia, which oc curred at Berwick on Monday last, has robbed that town of one of its most potent social factors. It was a private affair, owing to death in the groom's family. Invitations which had been issued and sent out were recalled. The Shickshinny Echo tells of a young man in a neighboring ham let, who very carelessly wrote at the same time, a letter to his best girl, and one to a shirt factory. The best girl got a request to "send samples of stuff of which your shirts are made," and the shirt factory got an invitation to go buggy riding. His feelings can be more easily im agined than described. The Farm Journal is the boiled down, hit-the-nail-on-the-head pa per, cut to fit the farmer and vil lager who knows what's what.

''Jimmy" Delaney, a former Williamsport Demorest player, is a pitcher on the all-American Base ball Club, which will leave New Orleans in a few days for Havana. Jimmy was considered to be one of Pennsylvania's best amateur twirl ers two years ago, but he had no terrors for Bloomsburg. Our boys always found him quite easy. The club is scheduled to remain about two months in Uncle Sam's new possessions. J. C. Coon, a well known Wilkes Barre newspaper man, died at the Danville Hospital last week, of some affection of the brain, aged 80 years. He was the founder of the Scranton Free Frets, the first Sunday paper published in the state outside of Philadelphia. He also established the W'lkes-Barre Daily and Sunday News. In 1889 he went to Florida. Returning north he purchased the Nanticoke Daily News and was conducting that paper when he was stricken. Mrs. Mary J. Oman, who former ly lived near Light Street, this county, died at her home at Wilkes Barre, on Friday, at the age of sixty years. The father of the de ceased was the late Jesse Shannon. Mrs. Evert, mother of W. A. Evert Esq., of this town, is also a sister. A husband and five children survive. They are as follows : Lieut. J. W. Oman, of the U. S.

All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. 1 ne Kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neelected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working In pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning In kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for Its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty cent and one-dollar siz es. You may have a sample bottle by mall Horn of Swamp-Root free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out If you have kidney or bladder trouble.

" j Ira llutchins ntul Miss Mary Chromis, two young people of this town, ioined hands for life at the residence of the bride's parents, on Eighth street, Saturday evening. Both were employees of the Blooms burg Silk Mill. We are inclined to have a little faith in the old proverb that "when the days begin to lengthen the cold begins to strengthen." The weath er nearly all of last week was quite cold, and on Sunday it was so cold that the streets were deserted all clay. The time for genuine winter weather has arrived. Some three months since, Charlie Wockley left for Rochester, start ing for Turbotville, from there he expected to come to his brother Henry's, at this place ; but noth ing has been heard of him since. It appears he never reached Tur botville, and no trace of Jiirn , can be found anywhere. MiMllel ab let. Peter Maher could not stand "Kid" McCoy's terrible onslaught Monday afternoon, and as a result was forced to taste defeat for the fifth time since he landed in Ameri ca, with the title of champion of Ireland. Peter was the favorite with the wagers, but it proved to be misplaced confidence. He had the advantage of his opponent in weight, but he was slower than time, and as awkward as a mule. It only lasted five rounds, during which time Maher was floored three times. OOUBT PROCEEDINGS. . A session of court was held yes terday, convening in the morning at 9:30. Hon. Robt. R.

Edward Crcsslngor Dies on the Gallows for tho Minder of Delay Smith. The law has taken its course, and Edward Cressinger, who so cruelly took the life of sixteen year old Daisy Smith, on her father's farm in lower Augusta township, North umberland county, October toth, 1898, has paid the price of his crime. The convicted murderer was led from his cell to the scaffold in the Sunbury jail yesterday at 10:24 o clock in the forenoon. His steps, we are informed by Sheriff Black, who witnessed the execu tion, were firm and steady, and his cheeks rosy. After the straps had been arranged about his knees and ankles, he was given an opportun ity to speak. He said : "I'll say good bye ; I wish you fellows good luck. I am guilty of what I did and I hope to be forgiven, but I was not the only one in the crowd. Take good care of yourselves, fel lows, that's all." Dr. Stoner ad justed the rope, the black cap was put on his head and he called out "Goodbye, you fellows !" His voice was firm, but he spoke in a hesitating manner. The last word had just left his mouth when the trap was sprung and his body shot downward, a distance of five feet. After being pronounced dead by the physicians, the body was taken in charge by the father.

Their impulse is to push into the already over crowded sedentary employments in our cities. Thousands of them do not realize their anticipation, and live meagre, discontented, unpromising lives. It is a mistaken choice. The hops is that the multitude of these failures will ultimately bring about a readjustment of the popular concep tion of country and city business life. Meanwhile education will be extend ed and specialized. Its imperative that educational methods should ad just themselves to the needs of the times. There is a movement to es tablish agricultural classes in the pub lic schools. If-the movement is suc cessful, a large number of the boys of the next generation will be taught that intelligent farming is one of the most reliable pursuits to which thought and enterprise and industry can be given. You mav have heard about SCOTT'S EMULSION J and have a vague notion S that it is cod-liver oil with f its bad taste and smell and f all its other repulsive fea tures. It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palata ble that almost everybody can take it. Nearly all children like it and ask for more. 0 SCOTT'S i EMULSION looks like cream ; it rtour- 9 ishes the wasted body off the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence, ft bears about the same rela tion to other emulsions that cream does to milk. If you have had any experience with other so-called "just as good" preparations, you will find that this is a fact. The hypophosphitej that are combined with the cod-liver oil tf've additional value to it because 2 they tone up the nervous system and Impart strength to the whole body. .oe. and Co. all 'IruKfrlM.

Tho first movement of n Konerul southern nilvunce occurred yi'Kti'rdny moi-niiij!, when two ImttnlioiiH of tho Thirty-tiintli infantry landed nud occupied I 'u buy no, on the oouth side of Lacuna de Hay. Two Americans were killed, and four were wounded. Twenty four of the enemy's dead were found iu one houKC. One hundred and lifty prison era and four O pounder rapid lire puns were captured. Three Filipino otlicera also surrendered to Major March and two American and two Spanish prison ers. The gunboat Laprunn de Bay bombard ed the town before the disembarkation of the troops from the cascocs, which was made under the enemy's shrapnel lire. The enemy evacuated the place before the charging Americans, retreating to Santa ltosa, to which town they were pursued. Heavy lighting occurred ulong the road to Santa Uosa, which wos occu pied by the insurgents retreating south toward Silaug. The Americans burned the country between and around Cu buyuo. Tho gunboat returned to Cnlnmbn for re-enforcementB uud thence onine to Ma nila to fetch ammunition. She recently ciiitured two of the enemy's steam launches, one under tho lire of artillery at Calamba, and, also four eascoos loaded with rice. Other regiments are mobilizing at San Tedro Mucuti and Pasig preparatory to continuing the southern advance. Sunday's capture of bombs involved the' seizure of documents inculpating 1,11(10 Filipinos who intended to rise aguiust the Americans. l'apcrs were also found sliowli'5 a distribution of the city into districts and a careful assignment of lenders and followers. The precautions taken by the Americans on Saturday, it Is now evident, alone prevented an up rising. -The provost marshal has requested two more regiments to be detailed for the pro tection of Manila. Three thousand troops are now actually in the city. Aguinaldo'g wife, sisters and 18 Fili pinos have surrendered to Maior March's battalion of the Thirty-third infantry at Unntoe, province of that name. It was announced from Manila Dec. 23 thut Colonel Wilder some time previ ous to Pec. 15 or perhaps that day had telegraphed to Vigan from Bayombong thut Aguinaldo, with a number of Igorro tl litter bearers, had crossed the moun tains ueur ttnyombong, going southward, and that his wife bud died In a village in thut vicinity. It was added that she bad beeo unwell since the birth of their son and that the hardships of their flitfht proved fatal.
