ELI JONES.
Eli Jones, an aged and respected
citizen of Bloomsburg, died at his
home on East Third Street at 8 o'clock
on the evening of April 30th, aged 78
years, 1 month, and 6 days.
The deceased was the son ot John
and Mary Connor Jones, being the
fourth child in a family of ten, all ex
cept one of whom grew to maturity,
and three of whom survive him. His
grand parents were Evan Jones and
Thomas Connor, both of whom were
residents of Columbia County before
the beginning of the 19th century.
Eli Jones was born on his father's
faim in Mt. Pleasant Township,
March 24th, 1824. He came to
Bloomsburg in 1844, and learned the
trade of Carpenter and builder with
Edwird Hartman, who still lives at
Espy, Penna. He followed his oc
cupation until within ten years of his
death, being prominently identified
with Bloomsburg's material giowth.
The carpentry of the original building
of th'e Normal School was done by
him, and with his paitner he built the
present Columbia County jail. He
erected the Third Street school house,
and did much work for the County
upon its bridges, and public buildings.
The Methodist Churches at Cata-
wissa and Buckhorn, and the Reform
ed Church at Mainville were also
built by him.
He was married twioe, first to Eliza
Wanick in 1847, by whom he had
four children, Thomas L. of Danville,
John I. and Henry E. of Berwick,
and Mary, wife of Daniel O'Neal of
Bloomsburg. Losing his wife by
death in 1864, he afterward married
Lavina Ohl, who survives him, and
bore him two children, Flora B., wife
of Rev. L. M. Feltero'f of Lykens,
Pa., and Lula A. of Bloomsburg.
There are six grand children. He was
confirmed in the Reformed Church of
Bloomsburg in 1856, and continued
in its membership, until his death,
serving as elder for some years. He
served several terms as school director
and as a member of the town council.
Though suffering from heart trou
ble for several years, his condition
only became serious at Easter time.
With a patience and fortitude truly
admirable, he bore his last illness un
complainingly, finding solace and
comfort in the loving ministrations of
his devoted wife and children.
The funeral services were held at
his late residence 367 East Third
Street, last Saturday afternoon at two
o'clock, Rev. J. D. Thomas of the
Reformed Church officiating. Inter
ment was made in Rosemont Ceme
tery. Bishop Talbot Here
Bishop Talbot made his annual
visitation to St. Paul's parish last Fri
day night, arriving here at 6:14 p. m.
Services were held at 7:30 when the
Bishop preached to a large congrega
tion, and administered the rite of
confirmation to a class of fifteen.
An interesting feature of the occasion
was that two members of the class
were deaf mutes while present in the
chancel was Rev. Mr. Beane, Mission
ary to deaf mutes, and himself one of
them, undsr whose ministration they
were brought into the church.
At the close of the service a recep
tion was held in the Parish House, and
light refreshments were served. The
Bishop left on Saturday morning for
Ithaca, N. Y. where he preached in
Cornell University on Sunday.

The Oivio Club.
At a lirgely attended and enthusi
astic meeting of the Civic Club held
in the Y. M. C. A. parlor Saturday
afternoon, interesting and gratifying
reports were made by the various
committees.
According to the report made by
the Library committee, of which Miss
Laura Waller is at the head, there is
a snug sum on hand. It is hoped
however that a considerable more
may be added to it by the first of the
year, when it is proposed to open a
public library. Mrs. Worthington, of
the Charity Committee, made a report
which showed that excellent work is
being accomplished by this depart
ment. Work in the various other depart
ments of the organization, such as
Town Improvement, Municipal, Hu
mane and Educational is being vigor
ously prosecuted, and the progress
being made is certainly commendable.
After a careful and deliberate trans
action of the business before the
meeting, officers for the ensuing year
were elected as follows: President,
Mrs. John G. Harman; Vice Presi
dent, Mrs. H. H. Grotz; Secretary,
Miss L. Claire Whitmoyer; Corre
sponding Secretary, Miss Helen
Chrisman; Treasurer, Miss Harriet
Carpenter; Town Improvement De
partment. Mrs. J. K. Miller; Library
Department, Miss Laura Waller;
Municipal Department, Mrs. E. R.

ment, Mrs. F. W. Redeker; Edu
cational Department, Mrs. T. R.
Croswell; Directors, Mrs. J. J. Brown,
Mrs. Robert Hawley, Mrs. R. R.
Little, Mrs. E. B. Tustin, Miss Sloan
and Miss Drinker.
Firemen Attend Church-
The Bloomsburg Fire Department
attended service in the Presbyterian
Church Sunday evening. There was
a good representation of all of the
five companies. They marched down
Main Street from the Town Hall in a
double column, and made a very nice
appearance. Dr. Hemingway took
for the foundation ot his sermon
Rev. 3:12, "Him that overcometh
will make a pillar in the temple of my
God, and he shall go no more out."
The discourse was vigorous and con
vincing. Joseph L. Sharpless has leased
the room on the corner of Main and
Iron Streets, and will open a grocery
store about September first. He
has had a large experience in the
business. He was at one time, a
few years ago, connected with C.
H. Sharpless & Co., grocers, on
Ceuter Street, and for more than a
year has been in the employ of the
L. T. Sharpless Co. Limited, as
clerk.

5A DIFFERENCE.
A watch is a walch but thre' a diTerence in watches. There is a difc
ference in material, a difference in finish and workmanship, a difference in ihe
time keeping qualities, and a difference in durabiliiy. It is important in buy
ing a watch to buy only from a practical watchmaker and reliable dealer.. A
man who understands all of the desirable points ubout watches and who will
stand ready to back his guarantee. I have purchased an exceptionally heavy
stock of watches in all grades and sizes, for this year's trade. I have marked
them at prices that are bound to sell them. I will take pleasure in showing
them to you.
