Was newspaper advertising a suc
cess with you last year ? If not—
why not ? It pays others. 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.

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.
