o'clock on Monday afternoon, Hen
ton lost a cood man and a tore
most citizen. Aged nearly seventy
vears he for a lone time waspromi
uently identified with the business

nrobabty one of the b.st known
residents ot that thriving little
place. His illness with which he
suffered for a loner time and which
was directly responsible for his
death, was rheumatism. u;t during
the protracted period of discomfort
his suffering was such as to make
the average man wish that the end
misrht come. But with all this
pain and azony he accepted the
visitation with bravery. lie is
survived by a wife and seven
children, Mrs. Uyer and Mrs.
H iridium of Jamison City and
Howard and Calvin, residents of

The Bloomsburg Public Library
is no longer a dream. There are
now upon its shelves about 1600
volumes, 750 representing gifts.
the remainder havinc been secured
by purchase. For the credit of the
town, the library should not open
with less than 3000 volumes. This
can be counted upon if the response
to the circulars soon to oe issueo
bv the Library Department be a
liberal one.
The people of Bloomsburg are

What the librarv most needs at

of Bloomsburg have worked hard
to make the starting ot a Jit rary

the public spirited men of the town
to show their interest in a substan

do for Bloomsburg what Thomas
Beaver did ior Danville, what Air.
Himiuelreich did for Lewisburg,
what Mr. OMcrhout did for

those who can afford to give $100
