it all the care and attention due its
importance.

est quality, fresh, and in perfect
rnnrtition. Our experience m com
pounding extends over a long period
of years, and we guarantee absolute

William Senior was injured in
the Mocanaqua Mines at Shick
shinny yesterday afternoon. Mrs!
II. F. Deitterick, of this town, a
sister-in-law, was apprised of the

A pleasant party occupied the
Schuyler house, on Market street,
last Monday evening. About
thirty couples were present. The

enjoyable for that reason..

Don't be afraid to tell the editor
of your local paper who is visiting
you, or when you are leaving town
tor a visit. Items of this sort help
to make the local page interesting
to all. Persons often complain
that the paper shows partiality, but
try and see if it does not treat you
right if you give it a chance.
A preacher in Berwick, says the
Hazleton Sentinel, went to a ball
recently to get the names of the
members of his church who attend
ed dances. The young men were
angered by his presence, to such
an extent that he was picked up
and thrown out bodily. The
Sentinel adds that tile Divine, per
haps, torgot to purchase a ticket.
The New York World found a
ready sale in town on Sunday. Its
illustrations and article in connec
tion with the pardon of Mrs. Annie
Walden created a demand for it,
which was much greater than the
supply. The newsdealer had sent
in an extra order, but for some rea
son it failed to receive attention.
Consequently many were disap
pointed. The Centralia Borough Council
at its last meeting decided to offer a
reward of $500 for the arrest of the
persons who d2stroyed the lamps
and committed other acts ot vandal
ism in that town Christmas night.
In order to stimulate the hunt that
is now being made for the offenders,
Harry Michaell, Dr. Gwinner,
Albert Lenahan, and Goldsworthy
Brothers are each ottering a reward
of ten dollars.

died after a short illness of three
weeks with typhoid fever at his
home 011 Third Street, Thursday
morning last. His case was such,
from the very beginning, as to
admit of no hope of recovery. A
wife survives. The funeral took
place Saturday, Rev. M. E. Mc
Linn conducting the services. The
remains were taken to New Colum

In his Sunday morning sermon
C. W. Genssler, of Selinsgrove,
declared that dealers who sell
liquor to boys are worse than the
Cudahy Kidnappers. For a ransom
ot ten cents they are sold intoxi

Isaiah Hagenbuch was summoned
to Hamburg Tuesday morning by
the serious illness of his wife. She

As Mr. Philip Granam is pub

Church, and of late, even not a

Thos. Hickey's horse ran away
on Monday. Ine animal was
standing untied at the rear of the
P. &. K. Depot and took fright at
locomotive whistle. The wagon
contained a lot of sugar which had
been loaded on a few minutes be
fore. One of the barrels was broken
by the fall from the wagon, and a
considerable quantity of the sugar
spilled. The horse was finally
caught.
The Bloomsburg Basket Ball
players gave an incorrect report of
the game at Danville last week.
They said that they had won the
game by the score of 17 to 16. The
Danville News styles our boys
story of the game as a "dream"
and adds that the correct result
was 17 to 15 in favor of Danville.
Why the locals should thus mis
construe, when they knew that the
truth would finally 'come, we are
unable to conceive.
No business place, no matter how
pleasing its environments nor how
gaudy its decorations, can survive
without patronage. There can be
no supporting income where there
are tew sales, and tnere can be
little selling where advertisement is
not invoked to bring custom. By
advertising liberally the shrewd
merchant secures patronage, sells
freely, and not only maintains his
business, but is enabled to enlarge
it.
There is sadness in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Lester Alexander,
on West Street, caused by the death
of their seven year old daughter.
Flora. She had been sick only a
short time. Her illness commenced
with a heavy cold; this developed
into croup, which refused to yield
to the physician's treatment, and on
Monday she passed away. The
funeral was held yesterday at 9:30
o'clock and the remains taken to
Danville and interred in the Jewish
Cemetery.
a nttie more man a week ago, a
smooth tongued individual appeared
in front of the Exchange Hotel and
tried to dispose of a riding saddle
There were no buyers in sight and
he left. It now tnrns out that-he
was a thief, not only of the saddle,
but also of a horse, which he hired
a day or two before from livery
men Coulter and Bowman, of
Muncy. When he hired the animal
he said it was to take a pleasure
ride out in the country. He had
been employed as porter at the
Commercial Hotel in that town.
He was known by the name of
Edward McGay.
Vr. and Mrs. b. is. Arment gave
a very enjoyable party at taeir
home on Fifth street last Thursday
evening. It was informal and "old
fashioned," and many of theguests
revived pleasant recollections of their
younger days by dancing the schot
tische, polka, quadrille, Vitginia
reel, and otner old timers. It was
a jolly party and the best evideuce

the fact, that they remained until

Rev. D. N. Kirkby.of St. Paul's
Episcopal church, was yesterday
morning intormed by telegram ot
the death of his brother William R.
Kirkby, which occurred at his home
in Kacine, Wisconsin. He had
only been ill since Christmas, or
thereabouts, and while Mr. Kirkby
had knowledge of the sickness, he
little thought that it was so serious.
The deceased, together with his
family, visited here several years
ago, and formed the acquaintance
of many who will be pained to hear
the sad news of his death. The
distance will prevent Rev. Kirkby
from attending the funeral. A wife
and one child survives.
