The only way to avoid dull times after the holidays is to double the amount of advertising in January that was done in December.

This estimate did not include those who borrow their neighbor's newspapers either. Here's an army record for you.

It ought to pay you; and will, if wisely done. Get a <jood art'cle, advertise liberally but judiciously; advertise the truth; set forth the announce ment in a neat, simple, but pleasing way, and satisfactory results will follow. Streby of the Dushore Gazette ca'led us a ''buck nigger" last week. Gcorgie is witty and everybody who has had an opportunity lo gaze upon his countenance knows it. Streby is no fool as some people would have him, or how could he think such sarcastic and witty "words." Streby we had great hopes of train ing our calf which is but three weeks old to be a great calf, but we conceed that you are its superior. This is what the Wyalusin g | J? ocket has to say about N. Y. as the place of holding the World's Fair in 18P2: '• We sb'-'erely hone New "Voric city will n 1 !,v uhi/sen as the sit'' of the World's Fair in 18!>2. It is the most un-American city in America; it wants ali the honor and money there is in the country, and still has j not enough patriotism within its bounds to erect a monument over (irant's remains; it afleets English manners and customs : and t.iken all, it is the cussudcst, rottenest city known, political and otherwise." Lumbermen are anxiously waiting for snow to come. Unless provi dence smiles upon them ard showers down a grist of the beautiful, times' throughout the lumbering districts which includes a goodly party of tiie territory in Northern l'enna., will be exceedingly dull and money will be scarce. Of course this de fect in the weather guage and tho hard times sure to follow, will be blamed to the present administra" tion. Tl!'" liabilities 01 indel tednes'i of Sullivan county according to the statement prepared by the county auditors last week, is 3,901.29. Of this amount of indebtedness there is d;ie from the county Treasurer, Lorah 2373,41. This is a good showing for the County of Sullivan and with the lrnd sales close at hard will decrease the amount very materially. Sullivan comity should, and is bound to have a new jail. Her standing financially justifies the same. Trenton New.lersey has produced the latest sensation. One, in fact, that has aroused almost as much ex citement as did the Cronin tragedy. Mrs. I)r. Kll iff en, wife of a promin ent dentist, was found suffocated in her room. Her husband and female cousin, who it is generally supposed were in love with each other, are suspected of the crime, for the clr curtstanees connecting them with the murder are of a very strong kind. 'll'they are guilty, the probability is they will goto the halter together instead of to the alter. Grand Jurors Drawn for Feb. Term 'OO John J. Boyd; John McCarroll; John L.

The "Bobbin red breasts" are! making their appearance in Sullivan I county. Mr. J. W. Harvey wit—| nessed several on liis farm in David sou twp., last week. A daring attempt was made to rob the First National Bank of Bloomsburg about noon 011 Tuesday of last week. A man walked into the bank and covering the cashier. J. P. Tustin, with a revolver, de manded one thousand dollars. The cashier played with him a few minu tes and in the meantime Ed. Tustin, who had been unobserved by the thief, came out of the vault and un dertook to get behind the would-be robber, who thereupon ran out the door and mounted a horse, which he had previously stolen lrom the stable of I*. S. Harman. Flourishing his revolver he succeeded in getting away from his pursuers. The horse was found tied in the woods about a mile from Bloomsburg but there was no. traces of the rider. A watch man is kept on duty now both day and night. The would-be robber ! ■ was captured near Danville 011 thoj following Wednesday and proved ; to be Amos Appleman of Columbia' county. lie is now rusticating in the Bloomsburg jail. Vain© of Home Papers. The public have little appreciation ! of the vulue of well-conduct .d local 1 newspapers, says the Philadelphia! Times. Their offices of beneficeix e j j to the community are so commonj that they are unnoted, but none the less 110 town or city can advance without its newspapers are in the ' forefront of advancement. They ; are the life of the community, j They must lead in every eltort to , invite capital, enlarge industries and enthuse the people in the use of their a 1 vantages. The local newspaper is the oiv; newspaper that should command the patronage of the community. If , only one journal can be taken in a ; family it should be the one publisli ' <"1 at home. The local newspapers of Pennsyl vania are the most creditable of any published in the country, and they arc rapidly growing in piosperity and power. They lu.ve done their part to advance respective sections, and should ever be remembered that their usefulness is just commensur ate villi their patronage. The looii newspaper i's the back bone of the community, and gener ! ous as is the public appreciation of! its otiices, it merits much morej sympathy and support than it gener- 1 ally receives. The following is toe programme j for taking the census as laid down| by the Superintendent: lie hasj divided the whole country into 1 districts. There are ten of the dis - ' ; tricts in Pennsylvania. For each , district a supervisor will be appoint-! |ed in January. The duties of a supervisor are many and varied. I ; lie subdivides his district into enum-! : orators' divisions. 110 recom-j I mends lists of persons for appoint-! . » ...• I merit as enumerators; lie scrutinizes ! their work and furnishes them their j schedules, and forwards the com ! pleted returns to Superintendent, j Porter. An enumerator, as a rule! comes into contact with only ab >ut; one in seven of the population. He carries with him schedules of popu-J lation of agriculture, manufactures, | of morality or vital statistics, and| schedules relating to deaf, blind and, insane, as well as of criminals. Atj the close of every day of labor lie; must, as has been stated, report by postal card to his supervisor and lo Superintendent Porter. The census will be taken in June. The enum erator must perform his work in fifteen days in the city and thirty days in the country. Every citizen is obliged to answer his questions ) or suffer a fine of SIOO. Next year several million family schedules will be distributed in advance of the enumerator's visits and at many houses they will find these blanks already filled out, thus greatly facil itating the work. 111 special cases, where money is needed for horse hire and other expenses, an enum erator may be paid by the day, not to exceed s<*>. The great body of enumerators will be paid : For every living person, two cents; for every death, two cents; for every firm, fifteen cents; for eaeh veteran or veteran's widow, five cents.
