Benjamin Chapin, who gave his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln at the Normal School a few years ago, is now presenting the same act on the Keith circuit. Dickinson College, at Carlisle, will celebrate its one hundred and twentv-fifth anniversary at the com mencement in June. President Reed is arranging for a fitting ecle bratiou. Mrs. Dr. Waller and daughter Miss Elizabeth, will take a trip to L,gypt tins spring. Rev. Dr. S Mitman of South Bethlehem, who is well known here, will be a mem ber of the same party.

Having served three terms in the House of Representatives, R. Scott Aiumerman, Democrat, of Danville, says he is willing to retire at the close of his present term in Decem ber and devote all his time to bis law practice. Negotiations bave been com pleted whereby the State secures the control of 17.000 acres of moun tairi land in the northwestern part of Berks and the southern part of Jscnuyikul county, as a torestryana game preserve at a cost ot 550,000 There is activity among the ice men on the Pocono mountains, in Monroe county, and some have be gun cutting although the thickest ice measures only six inches. As a jule it is not cut until it is a foot thick. More than 1,000,000 tons are usually cut in that region. Fred Newell Jr., the sixteen years old son of Fred Newell, pro prietor of that bright weekly, the Sullivan Jieview of Dushore, Pa., reported in full the proceedings of the Sullivan County leachers' Institute last week, and did it in such a manner as to reflect great credit upou himself. It is not often that a young reporter tackles a job of that magnitude as his first effort, and when he succeeds so well as did Master Newell, it is a cause for congratulation to himself, and for just pride 011 the part of his father. As sweet as magnolia blossoms and as pure as the driven snow is the story of the latest of successful romances, "The Girl ot the Sunny South." There is a breeziness that is most refreshing to the jaded palate of the theatre-goer in wit nessing a performance of such in trinsic dramatic merit. The play is interspersed with many new and ttpto-date specialties, and the plan tation revels by the famous Cotton Blossom Quartette are a feature in themselves. The scenery is most adequate and very picturesque, and very picturesque, and taken all in all "The Girl of the Sunny South" is one of the most acceptable offer ings of the dramatic season. It comes to the Grand Opera House n Jan. 22, 1908. yiin wiiu mu tiavB aiways eougnt of EVANS' SHOE STORE FALL SHOES.

It is earnestly recommended that all caucuses for nomination for the February election be held in time so that papers can be filed in the Commissioners office a few days ahead of the last day for filing, which is January 30th, so that in case of any mistake in the papers they can be sent back for correc tion. Papers should be brought in the office instead of being mailed to us at the last moment, as correc tions, if any, can then be made at once. All papers should sta'e how many are to be elected for each office, when more than one is to be chosen. No paper will be accepted that is not in compliance with the law, and in proper form. Commissioners of Columbia Comity. A. U. Br.ACK, Clerk. MILL STREET TROLLEY CROSSING At a session of argument court in Danville, Saturday morning, Judge Kvans dismissed the excep tions filed by the I). L. & W. Rail road company to his decree made November 9, 1907, dissolving the preliminary injunction and permit ting the Danville and Bloomsburg Street Railway company to cross the D. L. & W. tracks at grade. At the same session a return for supersedeas was presented by lion. II. M. Hinckley, attorney for the D. L. & W. Railroad company. Judge Evans made an order direct ing that the appeal in the above case act as a supersedeas. This precludes all possibility of operat ing the street railway over the D. L. & W. crossing until the matter is finally adjudicated by the su preme court, which does not meet until March. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the Col umbia County Agricultural Society will be held on Saturday next at 2 o'clock. Henry Deichmiller, now the se nior vice president, will probably be elected president. Pierce Hag enbuch who has been president for the past three years will retire, ac cording to the usual custom. Three candidates have announced their names as candidates for mem bers of the board. They are John W. Bowman of Greenwood; M. L. Keller of Scott, and C. M. Hess of Bloomsburg. As yet there is no opposition to the other old mem bers, and all will probably be re elected. Judge Shay on Dogs. In charging a jury last week Judge Shay, of Schuylkill county, made this declaration: "Where an owner of a dog is notified that his dog has bitten a human being it is his duty to have his dog shot, and if not he is liable to indictment and punishment." The judge added: "The keeping of a vicious dog is an old crime under the common law of England, which has existed for centuries and is in full force in this State. Any man who would prefer to keep a dog known to be danger ous is a citizen who needs some corrections at the hands of the law." This is both good and sound sense. The dog is a noble animal ordinarily, but there are surly aud vicious dogs just as there are surly and vicious men. Burglars at WasaingtonviUe. Burglars who attempted to rob the store of George K. Heddens at Washingtonville on Sunday morn ing early, were prevented from ac complishing their purpose by the sounding of a burglar alarm. Mr. Heddens was aroused and fired his revolver out of the window, and the burglars ran away. Mrs. Hed dens teaches the Derry township school, and had received two months' salary amounting to $100 on Saturday evening. It is thought the thieves were aware of this. There is some suspicion as to the guilty parties. ODD FELLOWS' ANNUAL MEET. Pann'a. Odd Fallow' Anniversary An n. at Shamokln on Monday, April 27th.

The officers are all Williamsport men William II. Kiess, president, II . B. Eberly, secretary, A. A. Myers, treasurer, Shamokin is the place chosen for the next gather iug, the date of which probably will be Monday, April 27.

If one may be guided by the old saying that "Imitation is the best form of flattery," Mr. Clarence Bennett, the author of the Biblical drama, "The Holy City" should feel not only flattered but highly honored. Previous to the initial production of "The Holy City" by Messrs. Gordon aud Bennett four years ago, there was no play before the public which dealt with the story of John the Baptist; since that time, other dramatists have realized 111 this same story, the most inex haustible resources for dramatic in tensity and have not been slow to utilize the same as a basis for dra matic and operatic construction. As a proof of this we have only to re vert to the great recent production in New York City of the Opera "Salome" and to the addition of "John the Baptist" the work of a German dramatist to the South ern-Marlowe repertoire. These are the most notable instances, al though there are a number of lesser ones. V hile we do not mean to infer that these latter authors have openly plagiarized or infringed upon Mr. Bennett's play, "The Holy City," it is evident to all that has at least opened up a new field in the realm of dramatic literature, 111 fact he has almost created a new form of drama. "The Holy City" has enjoyed unqualified success from its iucipiency, and so far uone of the later plays dealing with the same subject have proved very for midable rivals. Will appear at the Grand Opera House, Saturday evening, January 25th. Farmers' Institutes The farmers of this county will be interested to learn that there will be held this year a series of Farm ers' Institutes at : Catawissa on January 27th and 28th : Millville on January 29th and 30th ; Mifflinville on January 31st and Feb. 1st. A number of instructors from other parts of the State will be present to join with the farmers of this locality in the discussion of topics relative to agriculture. These meetings are free and open to all, and we have no doubt the farmers of this county will avail themselves of the advantages to be gained by attending these meetings. A. P. Young is the local member who has made all the arrangements. DEEDS RECORDED. Recorder Miller has recently re corded the following deeds : The heirs of Almas Cole to win.

It makes for health and pleasure and stimnlates vitality. For the extended trip, Southern California, the fruit and flower land of the Pacific Coast, offers unrivalled attractions. For the fortnight's trip, Florida, the summer garden of the Northern winter, bids you come and enjoy its genial sun. shine, its tropical scenes and its out-door life. For the ten days' outing, Pinehurst, Cdmden, Aiken, Augusta, Southern Pines and other popular resorts in the pine belt of the Carolinas and Georgia offer many induce ments. For the short trip the week-end outing Atlantic City is always attractive. The same breezes that depress the thermometer in summer seem to keep it up in winter. It offers great hotels on the ocean's edge, out-of-door life on land and sea, and a climate full of snap but shorn of the winter severity. Before deciding on your midwinter outing consult a Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent and get a Pennsylvania Railroad Winter Excursion Book. Whether you select Cali fornia, Florida, the Carolinas, or Atlantic City, the PennsyU vania Railroad offers a comprehensive train service, reasona ble rates and ticketing arrangements, and the best ' facilities that modern transportation methods can provide. 1-1613-2 Bloomsburg, Pa.
