Clinton Lloyd, one of the oldest members of the bar of Lycoming county died at his home in Muncy last x irursaay. A. L. Fritz, a prominent farmer of Sugarloaf township, has recover ed from an illness that confined him to the house for several months. The Winona base ball team has received many challenges. The boys will probably go to Montgom ery for two games on Memorial Day. Thos. B. Moore, who accidentally shot himself in the left foot with a flobert rifle more than two weeks ago, is still incapacitated from work. The Bessemer steel plant, at Danville, yesterday closed down for an indefinite period. There has been a lull in the iron market re cently, and the utter, inability to dispose of the plant's product is the cause of the shut-down. We sin cerely hope that the inactivity will De ot snort duration. C. II. Reimard and brother Harvey, are the proprietors of a new enterprise in the shape of a steam laundry. Itis located on the Dr. McReyuolds lot near West street and has been christened the White Star Laundry. The pro prietors are industrious and perse vering gentlemen and will no doubt be successful. A little girl named Sophia Wil helmina Elasser, aged 5 years, was killed at the circus ground in Wil liamsport last Friday week. A gust of wind blew a pole of a side show down which struck her and injured her so severely that she died in about an hour and a half after wards. The management of the Forepaugh show promptly settled with the parents, paying them $500 and also paying for the casket and all expenses of the funeral. The Clinton County Democrat says that manifold blessings were recently showered on Wilton Mel lot, a farmer of that county. A few nights ago his wife presented him witn lusty twins, in the morning when he went to the barn, he found that one of his best cows, during the night had given birth to twin calves, and in the sheep pen, he discovered that a ewe had twin lambs. A peculiarity of the occur rence is that one of each sex made up the three pairs. We are nearing Memorial Day, and its coming should remind us that the cemetery lot needs some care and attention. We are all in terested in that day, but doubly so is the veteran. His mind goes back to the 6o's, when he shoul dered a musket in defense of his home and his country. He thinks of his comrades, who have an swered the final roll call, aud knows that he, too, is nearing the fulfill ment of nature's decree. The number who will march to the cemetery this year will be dimin ished from that of last year, and this diminution should serve as a reminder and act as a stimulus to the people in general to keep alive the decorative feature, which has become time honored, and thus care for the resting places of the veterans who have gone to final bivouac.

Continued from 1st rage. one very much needed in Blooms Burg. The object of this department win surely appeal to every woman who has been the victim of deceiving, unworthy creatures, who, by most out rageous falsehoods, have wrought upon ner oest emotionsj who, through sympathy, excited by fraud, have re ceiyed money and other things, en- tailing lacrihce upon the part of the generous givers, while the really needy nave sunered through want of being known, or because there is nothing leu tor them It is the duty of every one 10 maxe every dollar they own do the full work of each one of its hunJred cents, and to remember that. no matter how many or how few one has, every dollar spent in one direc tion must be done without in another direction. Every woman has lust so much money and so much power, and it is the duty of each one to find iust where that money and that power will do best service, and even then, we find that there is not enough of either to cover everything. Organized charity does the best work, because it is able, through ap pointed committees, to do thorough work, and we can certainly manaee so that next winter no one in Blooms burg will go cold or hungry ; that not at the expense of the really needy and suffering, shall imposters be ca tered to, and idleness and immorality encouraged. Every woman can become an act ive member of this club by the pay ment of hfty cents a year. This will be the only payment required. If there are any elderly women or in valids who feel that by age or lack of strength they can do no work, they can, by the payment of one dollar an nually, be enrolled as honorary mem bers of the club, and will be privi leged to attend its meetings. fhe work will not come heavily upon any one if a goodly number join. I he truism that "many hands make light work," will be once more realized, and it is to be hoped that as many as possible will be enrolled as members of the Woman's Civic Club of Bloomsburg.

When there is a small fire discov ered in the day time in a part of the town near the location ot one of the fire companies, and that company is on hand, it seems hardly necessary to sound the fire alarm and summon the other companies and all the citizens of the town. This should only be done when it is apparent that more help is needed. A little exercise of judgment in the matter will save some of the firemen a long run for nothing. I. W.
