Year's 1 ARGUMENT LIST FOR JANUARY 7 C. C. Ystter E q. President ol Town Council Hat Isiuod the Following Addren. The year just closed lias been, so far as Bloomsburg is concerned, the most successful in its history. As a people we have had uncom mon success from every standpoint, the wheels of our industries have been kept humming withont strike or serious accident, and there has nevtr been a year in the history of Bloomsburg in which there existed so much commercial activity. The growth of our town has been almost phenomenal considering that it is of such a permanent character. I have received estimates from a number of our citizens in relation to the amount of money expended ou general improvements the past year, and the amouut will reach halt a million dollars. Following is the argument list for first Monday of January, 1907 Harry A. Ilarman vs. T. W. Dodson and Matilda Dodson, petit ion for rule to show cause why judgment should not be satisfied. Harry A.

The new home of our Post Office is possibly the best for a towu ot this size, in the Slate, and a proof of our prosperity is the increase iu its receipts. Ojr Main Street and particularly that section surrounding Market Square has passed from the appear ance it had to the appearance of a young city, and the Masonic Temp le will be a moiiunieut for genera tions to come. Our sidewalks, lights aud sewers have been extended and a system of paving, not yet completed or ac cepted from contractors, has been inaugurated which if added to each year, will result in making Blooms burg what she uow is to sidewalks the best paved town in the interior of the State. The question of having the State assist in macadamizing of our streets bas been taken up with the depart ment, the recent Act providing that the State pays two thirds of such improvement. The question of reduction cf water for the town bas been taken up with the Water Co., and from present indications a new contract will be entered into at a reduced price, that company after confer ence expressing a willingness so to do. A movement to modify our form of government has been instituted which will do away with, the "An nual Council" which has been tor years educated at the town's ex pense, no matter how careful they were and it has taken one mill of our tax each year because of this condition. This matter is now iu the hands of attorneys and a report can be expected in a very short time. "Any modification that provides for election of Co ..til for three years' term and will provide for re cent legislation so necessary to municipalities our size, will work a wonderful change tor the better ment of our town because no coun cilman can become familiar with his duties in one year and a change of this character will without ques tion be an important factor in our taxation.

She was the mother ol Mrs. Dr. Henry Biermau. The Danville Morning News says: "Mrs. Sober's whole life affords a beautiful example of Christian womanhood. She was a fond and devoted wife aud mother and yet her kind ministrations were felt be yond her family circle. In homes darkened by sickness aud sorrow, where help and sympathy were needed the most, there Mrs. Sober was always found. Her kind min istrations and gracious motherly in fluence was felt throughout the en tire community. That such a wo man will be sorely missed, that her death will cause poignant grief, not only in her own fau' 'y circle, but among all those who lew and lov ed her, is a fact scarcely necessary to add The funeral was held on Wednes day at 2 o'clock. The Christmas Dance. The holiday season would not be complete without the annual Christ mas dance to add to the festivities This function was held last Friday evening at the Exchange Hotel and wns greatly enjoyed by a large number of local patrons as well as several from out of town.

Sciiocii, President. MRS. JAMES D. POLLOCK. The death of Mrs. Kliza A. wife of James D. Pollock, occured at her home on Fifth street on Friday morning at 2 o'clock. She had not . been well for some time but was confined to her bed only a few days and when the end came it was wholly unexpected. Her life went out instantly and without a struggle. Mrs. Pollock was a daughter of Alexander Lockard deceased, of Summer Hill. She resided there until January 17, 1868, when she was married to Mr. Pollock. They spent three years in Salem town ship, Luzerne county, and then moved to Bloomsburg where they have resided ever since. Mrs. Pol lock's age was 68 years, 2 months and 14 days. She is survived by her husband, one son, Charles A., of Hazleton and Miss Minnie, residing at home. She was a sister of Mrs. Lucinda Mart, and Mrs. Lemuel Pollock, of Berwick and Miss F.lmira Lockard and J. K. Lockard of Bloomsburg. She was au active and consistent tnenber of the Evangelical church from her youth. The funeral was held on Monday morning at ten o'clock, the services being c:nducted by her pastor. Rev. J. Y.

Ent will enter upon his duties as sheriff next Monday. Having spent six years in the Court House as Register and Recorder, Mr. Ent is thoroughly familiar with the transaction of public business. He is popular with everybody, and we predict that be will make au excellent officer. With his genial manners he will probably be able to make those who come within his official grasp feel that he is doing them a favor when he sells them out or locks them up. GOES TO ALTOONA. Elwood G. Mateer will go to Al- toona on January 10th to assume the position of manager of the Al- toona district of the Bell telephone Co. He has been the local manag er since March, 1905, and has made many friends who will be soiry to have him leave. Mercantile Appraiser. A. W. Snyder, the Mifllinville merchant, has been appointed Mer cantile Appraiser by the county commissioners, for 1907. It is au excellent selection, as Mr. Snyder s well qualified for the position. TIME-TABLES. The beginning of the New Year notes the absence of most of the railroad time tables from the columns of the local newspapers. The interstate commerce commis sion has ruled that railroads will not be allowed to exchange railroad transportation for advertising. The result will be that the railroads will be compelled to negotiate their ad vertising contracts on a strictly cash basis, and the newspaper man can also pay cash for his railroad tick ets. Each party will be just as well off in the end, but the change from one way to the other will re sult in the public being left in the dark as to the time of the arrival and departure ot trains for a time. Horse Meat for Dagos. At West Berwick Monday the authorities were investigating a ru mor to the effect that one of the Italians who runs a boarding house in that place has for the past several days been butchering and feeding to his boarders, horses pur chased for the purpose. Who the man is the authorities did not wish to say. The only thing they would divulge about the matter was that they had received their information through one of the boarders, he claiming that he and about fifty other foreigners had eaten the horse flesh and that on Sunday a horse had been butchered and eaten. BOUGHT DANVILLE HOTEL. Irvin A. Suyder has purchased the City Hotel at Danville, and will make mauy improvements. He has been conducting the Ex change Hotel here for the past five years.
