There was a very small display of the stars and stripes in Blooms burg on Thursday last, notwith standing the fact that it was the one hundred and twentieth anniver sary of the adoption of the national colors by the Continental Co.igress.

One of our contemporaries boast ingly alludes to the fact that a cer tain publication in Chicago names it as the leading newspaper of this county. Every newspaper man knows that offers of this kind are frequent and that the one who w ill pay the price is the one who is named as the leading paper in such publications. We have frequently refused just such offers, one of them being a proposition to name the Columbian as one of the six best weeklies published in Pennsylvania. The price asked was fifteen dollars, but we didn't bite. We wouldn't pay fifteen cents to be advertised in Chicago as the best paper in the State. Chicago is a long distance from Columbia County. The decision ot every one who visits the Y. M. C. A. is, that the location is an ideal one. A more comfortable place cannot be found anywhere during the hot summer days. The large shade trees pre vent the house from being heated by the sun and.in consequence, the reading and amusement parlors are always cool and pleasant. All young men are cordially in vited to spend their leisure hours at this pleasant resort, either during the day or evening. The Electric Light Co. , has re cently placed a light at the outside entrance and also in the trans parency which is greatly appreciated by the officers and patrons. Mr. W. H. Slate presented the Y.

A great many of our boys like to read, and have read about all the books in the present library. Any good interesting books placed at their disposal would be very much appreciated. GOINU TOTAUOMA.. Miss Grace V. Correll, who has filled the position of teacher of Elocu tion and Literature in the High School for the past two years, will leave Bloomsburg next Wednesday for Orange, N. J. where her parents re side. The first of September she will go to Tacoma, Washington, where she has accepted the position of teacher of elocution in the Annie Wright Seminary for young ladies, an institu tion conducted by the Episcopal Church. Miss Correll's father, Rev. Dr. I. II. Correll, who was for twenty-five years a missionary in Japan, has been appointed Chaplain of the City Mis sions in New York City, under the direction of the Episcopal-Church. Miss Correll is an elocutionist of unusual ability, and a most estimable young lady. During her stay here she filled her position very acceptably, and frequently gave her services in public entertainments for charitable and church purposes. For the past six months she has been a member of St. Paul's chcir, and her place there as elsewhere will be hard to fill. She leaves many friends here who wish her success and happiness in her new distant home. FREd PICTURES EVERY WEEK. The Most Magnificent Series of Pictures Ever Distributed.

A BOOK OF THE bOG. We have received from the Asso ciated Fanciers, 400 N. Third St., Philadelphia, Pa., a copy of their Dog Buyers' Guide.

JUDGE SCORES POLE PLANTERS. Case Involving Rights of Property Ownors Settled at Harrlsburg. Judge Simonton has settled the question as to whether telephone and telegraph companies cm plant poles in pavements without asking leave of the property owners. Some time ago four telephone men tried to plant a pole on the property ot a man named Kochenour, in that city, and Mr. and Mrs. Kochenour, in trying to prevent them, were roughly handled, and brought suit for assault and battery. The case was tried and the evi dence was damaging to the prisoners, who claimed they had been sent to do the work by the company. Judge Simonton made a charge greatly in favor of the plaintiffs, and roundly scored the prisoners. It took the jury but a short time to find the defendants guilty. They were called for sentence, and Judge Simon ton, in imposing the sentence, said: "Taking into consideraton that the company sent you there we will not send you to prison, but impose a fine, which, if not paid, will be equivalent to imprisonment." He then sentenced them each to pay a fine of $50 and costs of prosecution. Heretofore telephone and telegraph companies have been riding rough shod over property holders in Harris burg.
