The sessions of the State Horti cultural Society in the Court House on Tuesday and Wednesday were well attended, and were very interesting. The program as published in full last week was followed. The duties of tJie committee of ar rangements and the local committees were carefully performed. The dis play of fruit was a very fine one, many varieties of apples being shown The floral decorations were provided and arranged by J. L. Dillon and S. G. Hryfogle. There are about one hundred and fifty members on the roll, about forty of whom were in at tendance. The secretary informs us that this is more than the average. Tuesday afternoon was occupied by routine work, and in the evening the court house was crowded. After singing by the Y. M. C. A. choir, an address of welcome was made by John R. Townsend, President of the Hoard of Trade, to which the Presi dent of the Association responded. Prof. John B. Smith of New Bruns wick, N. J. entertained the audience on the subject of the San Jose scale. Mr. Frank Colley sang a tenor solo, and then Herbert W. Collingwoori told "How New York eats fruit." His speech was entertaining, and he fully impressed his hearers with the fact that he and the Ben Davis apple were not on speaking terms. Wednesday's sessions were interest ingly occupied ami in the evening the hall was again crowded. Music was furnished by the Normal orchestra, and Mr. Frank Eyer sang a solo, all ot which was much enjoyed. Dr. J. P. Welsh spoke on Home Attractions in the absence of the regular speaker, and J. L. Dillon read a paper on Cultivation of Soil. Piof. Craig ot Cornell gave an illustrated lecture on Orchard Cover Crops. A number of resolutions were adopted, but we were not able to pro cure a copy in time for this issue. The strangers here were much pleased, and they pronounced it one of the most successful meetings of the association. A. Mysterious Shot. While coming to Bloomsburg early Friday morning to serve his milk route, Edward Ivey, the dairyman who resides in Hemlock township, was startled by the sharp report of gun, and at the same instant a bullet went crasning through the window of the wagon. At the time Mr. Ivey was sitting pretty well toward the rear end of the wagon and to this fact he probably owes his life, because had he been a foot further front, the bul let would have undoubedly pierced his body. With the exception of the cuticle ot his lett hand which was broken by a flying fragment of glass, he escaped injury. Mr. Ivey is at loss to know who fired the shot. He at first thought that it might be some person out gunning, but it was dark at the time which fact would seem to preclude the possibility of a hunt The shot was fired at a point, un protected so far as woods is concern ed, and if murder was the motive, and this appears to be the popular opinion, the perpetrator must have been stationed in a shed, which forms one of the outbuildings at the prop erly of Richard I vey. Death of Bobjrt Dodsau. Alter a lingering illness with con sumption, Robert E. Dodson, age cbout twenty years, died at his home on Iron Street Sunday night. He en listed in the array at the breaking out o( the Spanish. American War, but never saw act:ve service. He was member of Company F. of Danville Twelfth Regiment. Shortly after his company was mustered out he secured employment as car inspector with the P. & R. R. R. Co., and was located for awhile at Reading. Later he was transferred to Scranton, where he re mained until he returned home, several months ago. He is survivsd by a wifi and mother. The funeral took place from the Reformed Church yesterday after noon. Four Spanish-American War survivors acted as pall bearers, and a number of the members of Company F. escorted the remains to Rosemont Cemetery where interment was made. Deeds. You may make a fortune and you may not. Success is so subtle that it can hardly be grasped t so elusive that it is most difficult to retain. It is surely prudent while in health and prosperity to lay aside safely such sums as you may be able for future contingencies. Wo offor you cur services to that end. THE- Bloomsbiire National Bank A.
