SOUVENIR OF MILTON. Last week Milton entertained the Division Encampment of the Sons of Veterans, and at the same time held an Old Home Week. To com memorate the occasion, the Milton Evening Standard issued a beautiful souvenir book. It is printed on enameled paper, and contains a large number of half-tones showing the officers of the Sons of Veter ans, Grand Army Post, camp scenes and many views of Milton, her churches, schools, industries, rail road statious. residences, fire com panits, and many of her prominent citizens. Typographically, it is perfect. and is the product of the Hastings Printing Co., of which William Penn Hastings is the head and also eauor or me averting standard, one of the best inland dailies in the state. We are indebted to Mr. Hastings for a copy of this work of art. It surpasses anvthine of the kind which has been issued in this state, which has come to our knowledge Brother Hastings never does any thing half way. ROLLER SKATING. Editor Columbian. Mr. President Richard did 1 good and proper thing in prohibit ing bicyclists the use of the pave ments. He will increase the thanks of the pedestrians by making the same prohibition as to roller skat ing. It is a mot intolerable nui sauce. ine pavements are con structed for the use of ladies and men of business, as well as prome naaers, ana not tor such uses as bicycles or roller skates. Bloomsburg is attracting a large number of visitors, pleasure seek ers as well as business men, and strangers, and their lives and limbs are in constant dancer from roller skaters. citizen. CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT. Another change has been made iu the management of the Daily Mail. On Wednesday J. C. Rut ter, Jr., the former owner of the office, became President and editor, and S. F. Johnson, secretary, and Dr. C. F. Altmiller, treasurer. Mr. Rutter is a practical printer, and has had years of experience iu the management of a newspaper, and the change just mads will no doubt prove an advantageous one. The ownership of the plant remains as heretofore. THE REASON WHY. "The reason why the man who minds his own business usually succeeds, is because he has so little competition." ! COURT PROCEEDINGS.
