The initiatory event is to be a ladies' euchre. About 950 people were fed at the dining hall at the fair on Thursday. Friday was a big day too, but the stand was not so well patronized as on Thursday. A snug sum was cleared for the benefit of St. Colum- ba's R. C. Church. A thief made an attempt to enter the home of Mrs. J. S. Wilson on Market street I hursday, but was frightened away before accomplish ing his purpose. He boldly walked by the porch on which Mrs. Wilson was sitting and raised the side win dow, all in broad clay light. The Murray & Mackev Bon Ton Ideals closed a week's entrairement at the Opera House Saturday even ing. The company made many friends during their stay in our midst.

There was a quiet nuptial event at Sunbury Thursday last, when John R. Richie took unto 'himself a wife. His chosen partner was form erly Miss Myra Applegate of Iola, this county. The groom has been a resident of Bloomsburg for many ; years, and is held in high esteem by a host of friends who wish that the life upon which the couple have just entered may be attended with happi ness and prosperity. - -. . Wednesday evening of last week marked the close of the earthly career of Mrs. Sarah J. Creasy. The end came peacefully at her home in Berwick, where she has lived for the past forty-three years. Her husband, A. F. Creasy died in August of last year, The deceased is survived by four daughters and two sons. Mrs. Joseph Hampton, Ha.leton; Mrs. JoluwKckhart, Dan ville; Klizabeth litna, and Mallery, Berwick and W. C. Creasy Wilkts Barre. She was ;S years of age. It is quite likely that the trolley line will be extended to Catawissa some time in the near future, and also that a line to Light Street will be built, but the possibility of Dan ville being connected is very re mote. The sparse population be tween Bloomsburg and Danville will not warrant the erection of a line, and there would not be enough through traffic to make it pay. This is also the case between here and Millville. A ten mile run would necessitate the building of sub power stations, and the other inci dent expenses would be too great for the returns in sight. At least this is the contention of one of the men at present in the employ of the Columbia & Montour Company. He believes, however that the time will come when the chain of road will be perfected and the various outlying towns will be connected, but not until more favorable con ditions present themselves.

(161926 The practice of selling tickets for grand stand at the Fair grounds to several hundred more neoole than can be seated, is one that ought to be stopped. It there were standing room behind the seats it would be different, but such is not the case. The only standing room is in front of the seats. The result is that those in the first row of seats have to stand up to see the track, and this compels the second row to get up, ana soon until everybody 011 the stand must tret on their feet to see anything. People who pay extra for the privilege have a ritrht to be protected. No one would think of selling tickets in a theatre to people who could find no seats and no place to stand except in front of the seats. It is desirable that the Fair Association should make all the money they can, but they ought not to make it by imposing upon their patrons. There was much grumbling and ill-feeliug on Thurs day and Kriday afternoons when the passage way in front of the seats was packed with people. No one thought it worth while to kick very hard however, as he would probably have been told that if lie was not satisfied he could have his money back and go out. An enlargement of the grand stand is needed, but until that is done there is no excuse for crowding so many into the stand that 110 one gets what he pays for, namely, an unobstructed view of the track. na This Store's Mission.
