S rME TIME ago a group of gentlemen, all business men, were sitting in a circle in one of the hotels of Bloomsburg. In the group were men from Lock Haven, several from Mid dleburg ami the proprietor ofa department store in Johnstown. The Johnstown man picked up a copy of the Middleburg I'ost, took cue glance at it and, looking up to the men from this place, said, "Your town needs some prognssive husi- Dess men." Several of the Middleburgers looked amazed and wondered what the Johnstown man should see byjust a casual glance at the POST. . ..'I I 1 ....... ( I i nere are .-. vera, auvemsemenw 01 ounoury ,., entertainment and curiosity. Its purpose is merchants, he continued, and none from Middle- to ,)ril)Kr tllL. 1 ot- North America, of burg." You can always tell whether a town Central America South America into closer has any progressive business men by looking at rt.iltionSi tt, make tht.m knov, 0QC moiwr hMvr the liome newspaper, f Middleburg merchants to Bmooth the way for enduring f r i e n d- would usi trie columns ot cue 1'ost properly, easily make it unprofitable for Sun- pertinent and to the point. The business men of Middleburg are responsible for the fact that the PotsT contains the advertisements of Sunbury merchants instead of Middleburg merchants. It is in the hands of the latter. If they see fit to get the trade to Middleburg, they can do it. THE BUFFALO EXPOSITION, r I "M1K Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo is another marvel of the swift energy of Americans, lu a ycuror thereabouts a great tree less meadow has been transformed into a place of beauty by day and of splendor at night. Archi tecture and landseajH! gardening have had their triumph there. The palaces of the magician have risen. Towers and pillars and fragrnut gardens and lovely waterways have grown, as it were, in a night. There was no shabby unpre pared ncss on the opening day. The great crowd found a great show ready. Buffalo has reason tode proud of herself She will find her reward in the multitudes that will come to her spectacle. She will have to hump herself to feed and lodge themall; but she will do it and do it well. Hut this Buffalo exposition means much more PENNSYLVANIA EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION. I MIE annual meeting of the Pennsylvania -- State Educational Association will be held in Philadelphia, July 8-5 and will be of unusual interest and importance. The excursion rate from Selinsgrove will lie ?,18, tickets good June .50, to July H, sold on card orders which can be se cured from Dr. John A. M. I'assmore, 1326 Arch street, Philadelphia. Arrangements for pedal hotel rates have also been made. The enrollment fee for membership is 11.00 and teach ers and friends of education are requested to .send same to Prof. David S. Keck, treasurer, Kutz- town, Pa., who will return a certificate of member ship in the association. they cou bury merchants to advertise. As it stands now, the Sunbury merchants certainly find it profit able to advertise in the Post, or else they would discontinue advertising. If it pays Sunbuty merchants to advertise in the Post, it will pay Middleburg merchants twice as well. I do a large mail order business too, and when I find a local paper poorly patronised by home mer chants, that paper always pays me best, because the people in that neighborhood do not know what new things the home merchants have to sell. If some progressive fellow were to ask my advice where to begin business, I would in variably send him to a town where the mer ships and vastly increased commercial inter changes. May that purpose prcieras well as the authors of this noble exposition hope ! j FOB Germany, Austria and Switzerland to at tempt to boycott America has certainly as much to commend it as Mrs. Partington wanting to sweep back the waves of the Atlantic. THE idea back of celebrating Fourth of July in the old-fashioned style, is that the day goes on all the better if the nrectaker goes off. There's only one way it should be fired. THE wives of only two Presidents have died while their husbands were in the high office. The first death was that of Mrs. John Tyler. She died in September, 1842, and her bus nhAtita do not Advertise, because either the mer- Mna remarried before the expiratiou ot his term w " ' I I.. 4 AiP W mw a. m a a in 1040. 3irs. JSeniamin Marnson died in the chants have no bargains, or if they have, but few people find it out. A new man with the lilwral use of printers' ink can always lead ofT in business against even old settlers." We give space to these remarks as they are While House in October, 1892, a little over four months before the expiration of her bus- Itand's term, four presidents have died in of fice Harrison and Taylor from natural causes and Lincoln and Garfield at" the hands of assass ins. The Perry County fair will be held at New port September 17-20. Thk Connellsville police deserve credit fi r cleverly saving their town from the disgrace of a lynching, by getting the prisoner safety away If the report be true that counterfeiting has been done in the Moy amending penitentiary it does not speak higher for the management of the institution. An exchange hits the nail squarely on the lead when it says: Some people talk about news papers receiving complimentary tickets to shows, entertainments, etc. The people are certainly not posted. The newspapers pay more for tickets than any other class of people, and there is absolutely no such a thing as a complimentary ticket given to a printer. Up to March 31, 1001, the War Revenue act of June 13, 1898, had produced 1289,404,447. The separate items are given as follows : Sched ule A (documentary stamp taxes), 9101,503,175; schedule B (proprietary medicines, etc.), 114,- 236,224 beer $91,614,357; special taxes, $14, 052,001; tobacco, $43,682,530; snuff, $2,492,- 581; cigars, 88,558,993; cigaretts, $3,0:50,005; legacies, $7,247,503: excise tax, 82,480,38 mixed Hour, 820,974; additional taxei on to bacco and beer, 8970,103. The tent caterpillar is becoming a public nuisance in Pennsylvania and prompt measures should be taken to stamp out the pest. The leg islature might do the people a good turn by en acting stringent legislation of some so;t that would spur up the farmers who allow their premises to become a breeding ground for this 'great enemy of the fruit tree.

A sjiecies of theft and one of the very meanest that of stealiiiR flowers from graves in the cemeteries, is re ported by several parties.

The Pennsylvania Canal Compnny which is now closing up its affairs has had lor the last several days appraisers going over its property, so that some Idea of what the property is worth can be arrived at. These appraisers consist of one representative from the canal company, "tie from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and an uninterest ed party. As soon as the appraisers made a re port i he property of the company is to be offered for sale. The belief is that it will lie purchased by the Pennsylvania Kiiilriintl Company. The canals that the canal company formerly owned, and which were abandoned some yean ago, were in every instance bought in by thePennsylvanla. The canal along side of the Kustjuehanna river offers a different problem) as it does not paral lel the road ill the same manner as did the canal 1 1 1 lit ran alongside the Jun iata river. From Columbia to Harrisburg the canal parallels the railroad ami the ground it occupies can be utilized by the railroad. From Clark's Ferry to Hunbury the canals on the opx)sitc side of the Btuquehanna river, hut from Banbury to Muncy it is alongside of the railroad, as well as from Kunbury to Nantlooke. it is believed that wher ever the canal runs parallel and along side of the Railroad that the Pennsyl Aania Itailroad Company will buy it in and utilize it for the extensions that are made from time to time.
