ditions. Calendars are expens
ive. It costs money to buy them.
We give them away as an in
ducement to subscribers to pay
tip arrearages. That is the only
benefit we get out of it. We
shall give them only to those
who have paid for The Colum.
WAN within one year. None
others need apply. We shall
have no calendars for general
distribution, but for our patrons
only. 8t
MORE EXCEPTIONS-
Further exceptions to the opinion
of Judge Little in the Mifflin ville
bridge proceedings were filed by
Commissioner's Compel J. B. Robi
son on Thursday. They are as fol
lows: "First Because the Court im
posed the costs on the county. ,
Second Because thj Court erred
in not finding that the plaintiffs
were suiug in their individual rights
only.
Third Because the Court did
not find that the plaintiffs had not
proved their right of way, and
therefore, had no right in this ac
tion. Counsel claims the right to add
further exceptions."
The Standard Oil Company has

The members' entertainment in
the Y. M. C. A. last Thursday
evening, which consisted of illus
trated songs and two monologues,
was one of the most enjoyable
affairs ever held in the association
rooms. A large crowd was present
and every one expressed themselves
as more than pleased with the
entertainment. At the instance of
John W. Lewis, a vote of thanks
was extended to Miss Delia Geis
inger, D. J. Tasker, Paul Z. Har
mau, and Harry J. Achenbach for
the very pleasant evening furnish
ed. Organ recitals are not usually
largely attended in this town, es
pecially where tickets are not sold
in advance. If special attention
has not been called by the sale of
tickets, many forget it and do not
go. It is hoped that such will not
be the case at the recital to be giv
en at St. Paul's Church on Novem
ber 19th. The program and the
ability of the musicians are such as
should interest every lover of good
music in Bloomsburg, and it is
hoped that the church will be filled.
A collection will be taken up and
all that is asked is that each person
will give a reasonable amount for
the pleasure afforded them.
