J Ihiy a Eurial Lot-
It is undoubtedly the duty of
,! tvery householder to provide in
. time for that which is inevitable, by
J luying and paying for a burial lot,
,; before the sorrow and distress of
death hurry the selection of a plot
,' and the Drenaration of a place of
' interment. Tins will not
. - - 1
hasten i
the day of need, but it will relieve
the worry of the occasion and the
anxiety about details. How very
often this is nut off and put off,
wulil actual death torces attention
to that which ought to have been
foreseen, and then nothing is ready.
It often happens that the selection
becomes unsatisfactory, and then a
new location and another burial and
extra expense and multiplied dis
tress. Provide for the rest of the
body while it is still in active life.

ments is the growth of fraternity in

The name of William W. Black
of Bloomsburg is announced as
candidate for Sheriff, under Demo
cratic rules. Mr. Black has fille
the office one term, and is therefore
thoroughly familiar with its duties
The law does not permit a man to
hold the office two terms iu success
ion, but this is a mistake in the
law, as it takes most of his term for
a sheriff to become familiar with
the office. - Mr. Black made a first
class sheriff. He was attentive to
his duties, and prompt in their per
formance. His election for another
term would not be without preced
ent, as the same thing has been
done in the past.
