acquisition he has labored hard,
and made ventures, the very bold
ness ot which surprised people, and
there were plenty of predictions of
failure, but through good manage
ment and sagacity he has succeed
d. And there are few but wish
him continued success, as he has
not only benefited himself by his
bold operations, but given the town
boost which has sent it booming
tlong the highway of improvement.
The next man of wealth is Matthias
& Appleman, an extensive owner of
ore lands, w ho is worth fully half a
million. David Stroup, an industri
us and acquisitive small dealer, is
worth $100,000. The Moyer Bro
thers, extensive wholesale and re
tail druggists, are worth fully $ico,
100, having acquired their wealth
ithin a few years. There are others
whose fortunes range from $50,000
to $75,000, but the foregoing will
suffice to show that Bloomsburg, al
though small, has within her bor
ders men ot greater wealth thau are
often found in larger and more pre
tentious places and that a prosper

JtfefRESKNTATIVB MEN.
Bioomsburg has a number ot
representative men, also, who are
distinguished for their abilities as
tatestnen, jurists and poUtidilus,
vho should hot be overlooked in
'his sketch. The first deserving at
ention is the Hon. William Elwell,
wesident judge of the Twenty-sixth
udicial district, composed of the
tounties of Columbia and Montour.
s an advocate be early distinguish-.-d
himself at the bir, and when
elevated to the bench he did not
lisappoint his friends, who claimed
or him superior qualifications for
.hat high position. For years Judge
Slwell has been regarded as one of
he ablest common pleas judges in
he State, and so well satisfied are
: he people of his district with him
hat he was renominated unani
mously a few weeks ago and will be
apported at the polls irrespective
.f party.
As a politician and a statesman,
'he Hon. Charles R. Buckalew,
ho also resides here, stands de
rvedly high. He served with
-access and ability as a United
.States Senator, as well as the rep-
jsentative of his government to
me of the South America republics.
le is a lawyer of ability and long
tnce made his mark at the bar. He
rin for Governor a few years ago
ttt was defeated. Among the liter
.ry men of the town may be nien
loned Colonel John G. Frteze. He
talso a lawyer, but his mind runs
irgely to literary pursuits, and he
as recently prepared an exhaustive
istory of Columbia county, which
-i ready for the press. That it will
e a valuable work everybody ad
mits, because the industrious and
ireful author is not likely to have
mitted a single item worthy of
iing embalmed in histcry. Among
le representative men. too, may
i mentioned the members of the
ress. Bloomsburg has three excel
l nt weekly papers. The Columbian
mducted by Elwell & Bittenben--r,
is an able exponent of the
r inciples of Democracy. The office
i neat, well equipped, and Colonel
.' reeze's great local work will be
rinted there. The Republican, con
ducted by D. A. Beckley & James
. Brown, is the Republican organ
f the county, and a paper of
rility. Mr. Beckley has been post-
.aster since 1865, excepting two
ars during the administration of
ndrew Johnson. On the accession
t President Grant he was rein
-nated and has been kept in office
er since. Mr. Brown, who is a
'. aduate of Dickinson Seminary,
.'illiamsport, divides his time be
.een editing the paper and stir
;ying. He stands high as a civil
igineer, and is often engaged in
(inning lines and locating pro
ofed railroad routes. The Sentinel
iUther Democratic paper, is con
touted by C. M. Vanderslice, who
iisplays considerable energy in the
iblicaticn of his journal.
