No midway is complete without it and everybody will ride. It is a joy in itself. No. 12. Merry Go Round All the people, young and old alike, will enjoy themselves with this old but favorite pastime. As it is impossible to make a Carnival or Fair a success without the venders, the Hatch-Adams Co. have contracted with legitimate concessions such as Knife Racks, Ball Racks, Nigger Heads, Tintype Gallery, Fortune Tellers, Confett Stands, Return Balls, Squackers, Name Plates, etc., and they will be in attendance to lend fun in their funny sayings to the visitors. AN OVERWORKED JOKE- The Hazleton Sentinel in speak ing of the indignities to which a newly married couple of that city were recently subjected says the joke is being overworked. And so it is. All fair minded people will concur with the Sentinel when it says : "From throwing rice to designate the wedding pair aud tying gro tesque things to the wedding bag gage, the joker has developed new ideas, some of which must be de cidedly objectionable to a sensitive woman, to say nothing of the man most interested. It may be funny to witness the annoyance ot a mar ried pair who are pointed out to disinterested persons as a deserving object of merriment, but the truth is that the wedding joke has been overworked and the average spec tator has grown tired of it. He wonders what kind of companions the wedding pair have when at home. What is meant in a spirit of harmless amusement has also a serious side. The conspicuous position a young woman occupies in a marriage ceremony is enough without adding anything that makes her the subject for ridicule. At the supreme moment in a woman's life she is entitled to the kindly consideration of her friends and the friends of her husband. She deserves any thoughtful assist ance that will divert her attention from the publicity she must attract. Of course to some persons it is humorous to annoy a sensitive young woman and make her the target for the eyes of the thought lessly curious, but in this day of criumon sense every man should have about him enough genuiue chivalry to shield rather thau to mortify the young wife. It is time for the offensive wedding joke to be stopped. If it ever had an ex cuse it has long ago ceased under the boisterous and embarrassing liberties taken in its name." We have a nice line of wall paper and as cheap as the cheapest, at Mercer s Drug and Book Store. The Prohibition Ticket. The Prohibitionists of the State held their convention at Gettysburg last week, and named this ticket: For Judges of the Superior Court, M. H. Stevenson of Allegheny county, and Herbert T. Amos of Lycoming; Auditor General, Elisha Kent Kane, of McKean county; State Treasurer, H. D. Patton, Lancaster county. The resolutions ar exceedingly vol uminous and denunciatory. They de clare for suffrage without distinction of sex and denounce the new libel law in unmeasured terms. Nearly all the crimes in the category are charged to the old parties and the only salva tion for State and Nation, it is declar ed, is to be found in the principles of the Prohibition party and their enact ment into law. Mortgage Paid The last indebtedness ol the Pres byterian church was paid off this morning, aud the mortgage lifted. The Presbyterian is oue of the three beautiful stone churches of which Bloomsburg has just cause to be proud, aud the energy and loyalty of the congregation in clear ing their fine property from debt is most commendable. Dr. G. II. Hemingway performed the ceremony which united Miss Mary Amelia McBride aud G. Clayton Welliver for life. The event occurred at the home of the bride's parents on Ninth street last evening and was witnessed by a large number of guests.

The decorations in the chapel were very pretty, blue and white, the class colors, being predominant. .Blue festoous on white back-ground covered the balcony, and at the front of the stage were lestoons of smilax and roses, with palms and potted plants. The graduates have all spoken their little pieces and bidden good bye to teachers and classmates, and now the old world will resume its ordinary motion in its journey around the sun. Ira D. Bankey Bliud For Life- All hope that the eyesight of Ira D. Sankey, evangelist, will ever be restor ed has been abandoned by his tamily. Mr. I. Allen Sankey, the son, says that his father is permanently bund, and is reconciled to Ins fate. The evangelist was recently remov- ed from New York lor the summer, "It is our wish," the boy says, lto keep father as quiet as possible in the hope that his strength will in some measure be restored. He improves slowly and the gain is scarcely per. ceptible, but his courage is good and he is as hopeful as we are." Wall paper from 8c. per bolt to 40c. per bolt at Mercer s Drug and Book Store.
