Some people think that when they
pay $1.50 for a year's subscription to
their local paper that it is clear profit
for the publisher. Take the table of
the official vote as an illustration o!
the expense. One day's time to visit
the county seat and take down the
returns as they are delivered by the
court, and another good big day's
work to put that table in type, with
about half a day allowed for putting
the type back in the cases. Two days

CONCERNING "FARM NEWS'
JOURNAL."
AND "FARM
several years ago we ottered as a
premium to advance paying subscrib
ers, a monthly publication called farm
News. Our gift was only for one year,
and we took it for granted that each
recipient of this gift would understand
that the arrangement was only for that
time so far as we were concerned, and
would see to it that the Farm News
was discontinued at the expiration of
that time, unless they desired to re
new the subscription themselves.
It now tianspires that a number of
our subscribers have recently received
notices from the National Publisher's
Association of Minneapolis, demand
ing payment for several years subscrip
tion to the Farm News, and from this
it would appear that the Farm News
has been coming on to these subscrib
ers without their either calling our at
tention to the matter, or notifying the
publishers to discontinue it. Two
years ago attention was called to this
matter in these columns, and all per
sons getting the Farm News request
ed to have it discontinued if they did
not want it any longer. It is no fault
cf ours therefore if the matter has
been neglected.
However, as this was a club arrange
ment with the farm News, we do not
believe the persons to whom we sent
it as a gift for one year, are liable for
additional time, if the publishers saw
fit to continue sending it without 1
renewal of the club arrangement
Every one who received the Farm
News as a premium is requested to
notify the publishers that it was sent
to them under a club arrangement.
with the Columbian, and if it still
comes on, then refuse to accept it.
Those who do not attend to this
promptly must not blame us if they
have to pay for the extra years.
In the case of the Farm journal,
which was given for five years as a
premium, we must ask all our sub
scribers who are receiving it to keep
track of the time, and when the five
years expire, refuse to take it from the
post office, unless they wish to renew
it direct with the publishers. We have
no clubbing arrangement any longer
with either the News or the Journal.
If it is allowed to come on after the
time expires it will have to De paid
for. Please bear these matters in
mind.
Library Fund.
There will be an entertainment in
the Orangeville High School Room,
Friday evening, Nov. 28, 1902. for
the benefit of the Primary Library.
1 The Library already consists of
quite a number of books which are
taken out by the children on t rulay,
if they have done good work during
the week.
The entertainment will consist of
seventy-five views of the mines, suita
bly explained. Also other interesting
views. This collection is highly prized
by the owner and was obtained from
a mining engineer. -
The use of it is given through
the kindness of Mr. Hall of Scranton

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE LEUTTJRE
COURSE.
We are pleased to announce that
there is a rare treat lor all lovers of
good, wholesome entertainment, in the
excellent course which has been pro
vided. Contrary to the custom in re
cent years, there will be four entertain
ments instead of three.
On Monday evening, December 1,
Wm. Hawley Smith who for many
years was the traveling partner of Bill
Nye, will deliver his popular lecture
entitled "We the People." Mr. Smith
is an exceptionally talented artist, and
is especially a master of dialect and
impersonation. The real effect of his
selections lies in their naturalness.
There is nothing stilted about them
Art in his case only adds lustre to
natural talent. That he is a finished
elocutionist, skilled in all the rules and
piactices of that difficult sciencs, is
true, but he is more than that) he is a
faithful interpreter of nature through
the marvelous fineness and complexity
of his ovn being. He possesses the
soul of a true poet, and so great is his
power of presenting the multitudinous
phases of human feeling and action
that representation seems to clothe
itself with reality as we listen to him.
On Tuesday evening, 'The Rogers
Grilley Concert Company' assisted by
the well known tenor Prof. Thomas R.
Williams will give an entertainment of
a high order. There has been no
entertainment of recent years more
successful in satisfying the better class
of lyceum patrons than the Rogers-
Grilley Recitals. They are both earn
est students in their respective lines,
and their many seasons' experience
with the leading artists and combina
tions has fitted them to give an enter
tainment which is not only artistic, but
at the same time highly entertaining.
No adequate description can be
given of the beauties embodied in the
artistic rendition of gems of literature
when interpreted with the accompani
ment of the harp. The instrument is
particularly adapted to the human
voice, and their selections given to
gether produce an impression which
lingers long in the memorv. Add to
this Trof. Williams' beautiful tenor
voice and the entertainment is supetb.
It is an intellectual entertainment for
quick-witted, broad-minded, liberal
thinking, cultivated audiences. An
audience made up of this class will
thoroughly enjoy an evening spent in
their society.
On Wednesday evening Dr. D. F.
Fox will deliver his interesting and
popular lecture entitled "A Neglected
Cavalier,'. Colonel Bain states a fact
when he says: ! heard Dr. Fox give
his lecture on;"A Neglected Cavalier,"
at Winfield, Kansas, Chautauqua and
I consider it the equal of the very best
I have ever heard from any source. In
it are some of the most thrilling word
pictures spoken in English. There is
no platform this lecture will not honor
and I commend it to those seeking
the best."
Prof. John B. DeMott has lectured
twice1 n Bloomsburg and many of us
have vfid recollections of the lasting
benefit derived from his lectures on
"Python Eggs" and "The Harp of the
Senses." He will close the course
with his latest and best effort entitled
"A Plea for Posterity; or the Problem
of Heredity."
Without decrying any of the rest of
your talent, I am very sure the pleas
antest and most profitable evening in
the Course will be the one when Prof.
John B. DeMott occupies the plat
form. I know of no man in America,
with his power of popularizing science;
no man who can make instruction so
pleasant that it seems like entertain
ment, uutil the hearer suddenly realizes
that he knows a hundred fold more
than he did an hour ago, and yet is
not conscious of having made any
effort to acquire knowledge. There
should not be a vacant chair in the
house the night of Prof. DeMott's
lecture. I have followed him in a
great many lecture courses, and with
out exception his audiences have been
cordial and enthusiastic in their praises
of the man, his charming personality
and his splendid work.

You are bound to do so if you
attend the performance of A Dutch
man's Honeymoon. The people
want to be amused and W. A.
Conway, the . author of the play
has certainly struck the laughing
card when he wrote "Honeymoon."
There are more real laughs to the
minute than in any other farce
comedy on the road this season.
In addition to a good plot, funny
and laughable situations, there is a
strong vaudeville bill in which the
members acquit themselves with
great honors. "On His Honey
moon" is a by word in all towns
visited by the company this season
and the management will find it
necessary to put out three com
panies next season in order to fill
all time offered for the appearance
of the play. There is but one com
pany out this season and it will be
impossible to play any return dates
much as they are desired and those
failing to see the play while in this
city next week will have to wait
till next season. Hans Schnitzel
and his lovely bride Araminta keep
the audience in continual laughter
all evening. An evening is well
spent in seeing "A Dutchman's
Honeymoon." It appears for one
night Monday Nov. 24 at the
Grand Opera House. Seats can
now be secured to avoid the rush.
Rabbits May ba Sold-
The open season for rabbits
begau on November 1st, and con
tinues until December 15th. Secre
tary Kalbfus, ot the game com
mission, in a recent interview,
stated that rabbits could be bought
and sold, likewise squirrels, as
neither are included in the list of
game that cannot be sold or offered
for sale.
Baptist Church-
Rev. J. D. Smith will close his
labors as pastor of the Baptist
church next Sabbath preaching
both morning and evening. The
morning sermon will be an especial
sermon to the church but Mr. Smith
would be glad to meet at both these
final services all his friends with
whom he has had such delightful
intercourse during these years.
