Considerably Mixed-
The Sunbury Daily of Tuesday,
under a caption of "Who do They
Represent," prints the following. Its
too much for us we won't attempt an
explanination. "The Conyngham
township, Columbia county, School
Board met at Mt. Carmel, Northum
berland county, the other day and
organized for the ensuing year by
electing the following officers : Presi
dent, Peter Broadman, of Locust Dale,
Schuylkill county; Secretary, George
Snyder, of Wilburton, Columbia
county; Treasurer, W. A. Marr, of
Ashland, Schuylkill county. This is a
peculiar state of affairs. A school
boarll elected by the voters of Conyng
ham township, Columbia county, or
ganized in Northumberland county
and elected a president and treasurer
from Schuylkill county. The question
at present agitating the minds of the
people is who these gentlemen repres
ent?" An organization looking to the
comfort and pleasure of locomobile
travelers was perfected, Tuesday
afternoon. It is to be known as the
Bloomsburg Locomobile Club. The
officers elected are James M. Staver
president, Karl F. Wirt, vice presi
dent, George Low.treasurer, C. V.
Funstoti.secretary.and E. B. Tustin
and Myrou Low, directors.
WM. H. HIDLAY, Cashier.
EYER-BARKLEY NUPTIALS.
A wedding, though a private aflair,
of particular interest to Bloomsburg
society was that of Miss Josephine
Barkley, daughter of the late Charles
G. Barkley, to Mr. Warren H. Eyer,
son of Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Eyer, and
a well known civil engineer of Blooms
burs. The event was celebrated at the
home of the bride's mother, corner of
Market and Fourth Streets, this town,
Tuesday morning. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Dr. Henkd, of
Latawtssa, an untie of the groom, and
was witnessed by only the relatives
andafew immediate friends of the
couple. Following the ceremony, a
wedding breakfast was partaken of,
after which Mr. and Mrs. Eyer were
driven to the East Bloomsburg station
where they boarded the Pennsylvania
train for a provincial wedding tour,
which will include Philadelphia, New
York, BuFalo and other cities. Upon
their return they will take up their
residence in a portion ot the Barkley
residence. Mr. and Mrs. Eyer have
a host of friends, who extend felicita
tions and hope that their paths in life
will extend through pleasant places.
Will Change Location.
The recent purchase by E. B. Tus
tin of the properties on Market street,
extending from W. S. Rishton's resi
dence to the corner of Third street,
necessitates the removal of Theodore
Smith's blacksmith shop and John E.
Fidler's steam laundry. Mr. Smith
will begin this week to tear down the
shop and also the laundry building,
the material of both structures having
been given to him by Mr. Tustin.
Mr. Smith, this morning, consum
mated a deal with C. W. Runyon
whereby he gets the blacksmith shop
and dwelling house located on the
Light Street Road, and formerly
occupied by George Martin, in ex
change for his property on West Street.
He is now engaged in moving his
fixtures. He respectfully solicits a
continuance of the liberal patronage
which has been given him in the past.
Mr. Ftdler will move his laundry to
the newly erected frame building in
the rear of the Farmer's National
Bank. The location will be more cen
tral than the present one, and he will
not be hampered for want of space.
He will have two large rooms, 20 x 40
and 9 x 20, respectively, for his
use, with an additional room 10 x 10
for drying purposes. He will move
his machinery and fixtures this week,
and expects to be ready for business
next week, and will be better prepared
than ever to do good work.

Mrs. Susan A. Bowman, relict of
the late George A. Bowman, died at
the residence of her son Dr. J. H
Bowman at Ilazleton shortly before 8

disease. Mrs. Bowman was born in
Mifllinville, where she resided up to
three years ago, when she took up her
residence with her son, at 509 West
Diamond Avenue. She was aged 75
years. For several years past she his
been a sufferer from heart trouble, but
on March 23rd last she suffered a
severe stroke, since which time she
had gradually grown worse. Mrs

she came in contact.
Short services will be held at Dr,
