BENTON, Aug. %. 'S6.
MEssRs EDITORS Il noticed in last
weeks Sentinel an article headed "Redress"
and signed ''citizen" in favor of the w. &
w. r. r. building a branch up Fishing
creek to Benton, in which Mr.. Citizen
speaks very discouragngly of the Blooms
burg and Sullivan R. Now, Mr.. Citizen,
l don't think you or any other persons
have any reasons for acting or talking
against the b. g. S. r. r. at the present
time, when they are pushing the road
through as fast as possible. Now the citi-
zen first says the B. & S. Company has
never given us any guarantee when we
were to have a road, and then he says they
promised us road within two years from
the time of subscription. Now how is
this l don't think Col. Jamison ever
promised any certain time when the road
would be built. He might have said he
expected it to be built SO and so. But
Col. Jamison with the assistance of Hon.
G. r. Buckalew has had a great deal to
contend with. First they had to look out
q ioutS ohh thCh thCy IL suiNCyCu
different times which was very expensive
and their efforts were untiring, for which
they deserve great credit. Mr., Jamison
did not come through the valley begging
his way or asking money of the people to
pay expenses. He paid his own way.
Rail roads are not built on wind and water
or Benton would have had one long ago.
Now in regard to the w. & w. the corps
of engineers that was at Benton were very
gentlemanly fellows. But think it will
be long time before We hear the whistle
on the branch of the w. IL w. road at Ben
ton. but think it won't be long until we
will see the iron horse on the b. & S. road
winding his way up the beautiful Fishing
creek valley and taking drink at the head
of the stream, and his name ought to be
"Jamison and Buckalew" and the people
in the upper end of the county and all
along the line ought to rejoice that they
have an outlet that has been so long need

Convention Notes.

While at Harrisburg last week the Col
umbia county delegation had private
interview with Senator Eckley b. Coke in
his room at the Bolton House. The Senator
gave his reasons for supporting Wallace,
and requested the delegates to.vote for him
il in their Judgment they could so.
The delegation was also received by
Hon. Samuel j. Randall in his rooms at
the Jones House. Under the escort Of Hon.
A. l.. Fritz the delegation was shown
through the Capitol buildings, and had a
pleasant visit with Hon. j. Simpson Africa
in the department of Internal Affairs. The
Governor was called upon, but was en-
gagged.
F. d. Dcntler was member of the Com
mittee on credentials.
The vote of the delegation in the conyen-
ton was as follows for Governor Dentler,
Harmon and Freas for Black Smith for
Wallace, but his vote was changed to
Black before the result was announced.
All the other candidates received the sup
port of the full delegation.
David Lowenberg appeared to be one of
the best known men at the Convention.
His frequent attendance at state and
national conventions has given him an ex-
tended acquaintance with prominent
democrats all over the state.

TO subscribers In the County.

As the financial year of the COLUMBIAN
ends on October lst, it is our custom at
this time of year to go over our books and
send notices to every one who is year or
more in arrears. We dislike to dun our
subscribers through the paper, but when
we find at the end of the year that we have
thousands OF dollars due on our books from
people who are much more able to pay
than we are to wait for the money, it is a
business necessity that compels us, once a
wear, to call attention to the matter.
Statements have been made out, and Will
be sent by mail soon after September to
all who have not settled by that time. AS
many people dislike to receive "duns" we
would suggest that it will be much pleas
anter for them to settle before bills are
sent out The postage alone is heavy ex'
pense to us. All who fail to pay by Sept
LIST. should not feel aggIieved on receiving
a statement of their account, because 1t Is
a pure business transaction on our part
and it would be unjust to blame us for ask
ing what is due us, after sending the paper
for year or more without pay. Please
put yourself in our place, and If you would
be willing, or could afford to let large
sum of money that is due you, stand ou
all over the county in small sums here anc
there without asking for it for year ol
more, then you are at liberty to criticis'
others for doing what you would not do
We make these remarks because we know
of the objection many have to being dun
ned" for newspaper subscriptions.

state Normal school.

The State Normal School of the Sixth
District, at Bloomsbury will begin the
fall term Tuesday, August 3lst, 1886. The
new building containing twenty-six recita-
tion rooms greatly improves the facilities
for teaching. The steam heating apparatus
has been much improved and connected
with the boilers of the Bloomsbury Steam
and Electric Light Co. For the seventh
consecutive time it is true that ''the num-
Der of students last year was larger than
ever before" Although the Senior class
was larger than ever before it, all were ap-
proved by the State Board of Examiners.
Candidates for the Senior class will be ex-
amined at the opening of the year in the
Junior studies, and that examination in
those branches will be final thus the Sen.
iors will be relieved of much anxiety, and
undue pressure. Five students of last
year have already been admitted to college

Three of the Snyder brothers, viz the
Rev. f. b., William and Firman, were
visiting in this locality last week. Rev.
Snyder lives in Philadelphia. He preach
ed two sermons at the Harveyville Camp
Getting. We heard the one on Sabbath
morning and must say it was an able and
profound discourse from Matthew V. IA 10
and 10 inclusive. William is resident of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Firman of Hub
lersvllle Pa. Ten years ago, Charles
Snyder, the father, and another son L. A.
publisher of Cedar Falls Gazette, Iowa,
visited this locality on their return trip
from the centennial. About three years
ago, G. w. Snyder, publisher of the Red
Oak Express, Iowa, was also visitor. The
sister, wife of Rev. ID. Shelter, also of
Cedar Falls, has not yet returned to the
place of her nativity. An interesting his
tory in connection with the above family,
no doubt, will some day be written.
