From the Carthage (Mo Banner.l
COMING TO JASPER.

A colony of about thirty FIVE persons from
Pennsylvania is expected to arrive in this city
tomorrow or the day following. Three gentle
men of the party, Messrs. Warden, Ale and
Bowman were here last spring looking over the
country and also went to Kansas, but forming
decided preference for Jasper, purchased farms; ;
one of the farms bought is known as the Mitch
ell farm about FIVE miles north of Carthage,
and they have also purchased John Wicks'
farm lying Immediately west of MitehelPs.
The credit of having brought this enterprising
colony belongs in part to ]. L. Botten6eld, J.
G. Leidy and II II. Rutter. The former
gentlemen took great interest in showing the
parties over the country when here, while Mr..
Rutter, an attachee of the Banner, who about
four months since came here from the same
town. in Pennsylvania, has written several
letters to the newspapers Of that locality, de-
scribng this county and urging his friends to
immigrate to Southwest Missouri. The colony
comprise men and families of energy and capi
tai and will be gladly welcomed by all our peo
pie. They come from Bloomsbury and adjoin
ing townships.

When more than quarter of century ago
Tom Hood stirred the heart of humanity with
his wonderful "Song of the Shirt" he little
dreamed of the revolution that would take
place in the making of Shirts or that the
day would come when we could put on a shirt
without feeling that we are wearing out hu
man creatures lives
The manufacture of shirts has become
one of great Importance. Thousands of men
and women are engaged in this branch of in
dustry. The cutting of shirts has been brought
to science. The result is we have better
made, better cut and better fitting shirts than
has ever been in the market.
Machinery has cheapened as well as improv-
ed all articles of clothing, no longer are shirts
made by - fingers weary and worn,' or by
"eyelids heavy and redn The skilnl shirt
maker with the aid of the sewing machine can
produce from one to two dozen shirts per day,
and can earn wages enough to live comforta-
bly,. Among all the shirts now in market and
in fact without rival is the Pearl Shirt They
are made only by capable and experienced
hands, are carefully inspected and are unsur.
passed by any other shirts in the market. The
fit is perfect. The material is of the best quail
ity. Try them and be convinced. Sold only

The Masquerade Ball at Evans Hall last
Monday night was largely attended, and sue
ceeded far beyond the expectations of those who
had it in charge. There were over one hundred
persons in costumes of every description, ele-
giant, grotesque, comic, and hideous. Nine sets
occupied the floor at one time. Masks were re-
moved at eleven o'clock, after which all joined
the dance and from twelve to fifteen sets were
in motion the rest of the evening. Mr.. Thomas
Webb acted as prompter, and the music was
furnished by the Bloomsburg Orchestra, under
whose management the party was got up. AT
least two hundred spectators were present.
Dancing was kept up until about three o'clock
in the morning, when all went home well pleas.

PENNSYLVANIA CANAL.-The Pennsylvania
canal company during the year 1877 witnessed
a steady improvement of its main line. Its net
revenue was S2S7 ,s42, 81, a decrease of SllS,-
44l.2l fom the revenue of 1876. With refer
ence to this shrinkage, the management say in
their report: "The abandonment of all efforts
to maintain reasonable relation between the
supply and demand of coal in August 1876,
produced a marked effect in the company's
business during the latter months of that year,
coal being the principal item of its transporta-
tion business. The same cause, with the result
ing keen competition on all the competing lines,
was felt throughout the past year but with the
increased facilities and reduced expenses of the
canal, it could have endured this and met lis
interest and sinking fund obligations, but for
the prolonged strike of the miners in Wyoming
district, which stopped all coal shipments dur,
ing about twelve weeks. Notwithstanding the
iniorced ideness during that period both of the
canal aud its boating equipment, the deficiency
has proved much less than was at one time ex
pec,ed."
