STATE HOSTIOULTURiL AESODIA
TION. 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.
