Mrs. A. G. FREAS.

Margaret T., wife Of A. Clarence
Freas Esq. died at her home on Third
street last week Friday morning at
1915. Her health had been some
what impaired for some time, but she
was not considered in a critical con-
dition until about week before her
death, and only for four days was the
end looked for. She was a daughter
of George Rothrock Of Williamsport,
80 East Third street, and was born
Nov. ~, 1861. Her parents survive
her, and three sisters, Mrs. A. Praetor-
ius, Mrs. William Q. Lloyd, Sarah M.

Her husband and two little children
Mary Emily aged 7, and George R.

Of devoted wife and mother. She

on February aS, 1883, and they re-
sided in Berwick for one year, and in
1884 they moved to Williamspolt and
resided there until 1883, when they
came to Bloomsbury, and have lived
here since. She was a musician of
more than ordinary skill, and also an
artist, the walls Of the home now made
desolate bearing many pictures exhi-
biting remarkable talent. She grad
uated at Dickinson Seminary in 1879,
and by her many attainments and
pleasant disposition she made friends
wherever she went. She was OF do
mestic habits, and her chief aim in
life was to make home pleasant and
to be model wife and mother. She
leaves many friends to mourn her loss,
and the sympathy of the community
goes out to the bereaved family IN
their great affection. The funeral was
held at the house on Sunday afternoon
at two o'clock, the services being con-

SUICIDE.

On Thursday night of last week
James Turby of Lime Ridge hung
himself in his barn. He got up on a

covered about five o'clock next morn
ing by his daughters. He had been
foreman at Low Bros. Lime quarry
for many years. His wife's death had
a depressing effect upon him, and he
had hinted at suicide several times.
A jury was empanelled by Coroner F..
w. Redeker, consisting OF NJ. l. Low,
ID. K. Woman, Charles McKamy,
II. w. Angle, Josiah Kroner, and
George Hughes. They found the facts

What Goal Lands are Worth.

The Scranton Times is responsible
for the following: The lawyers and
few hangers on about the court room
in Scranton were discussing the value
of an acre of coal land Tuesday. One
gentleman said he considered $500
a good figure. Attorney Watson pooh
hooed the idea of coal land selling at
such a figure. He said he knew of a
tract Of los acres in Jermyn, LETT to
Mrs. John Smiths heirs, which was
worth 81, 900, 900. "Twenty thousand
dollars an acre." he said, sis small
figure for an acre of coal land" Dep
uty Prothonotary Kasson said that
from evidence taken in court there
was coal land in Kingston worth $3.50
coo an acre. These figures are men,
toned to give some idea as to the
value of our coal lands.

A Sporting Parson.

Rev. J. r. Kashen, says Blooms
burg dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press, is the pastor of the Swinburne,
church Columbia county. About month
ago he bought blooded horse with
good record. The preachers flock
were Mortified today to learn that
their pastor had raced with DR.. Horn
ing for a wager. The doctor had
agreed to forfeit 5000 if his horse could
not do mile in better time than the
parsons nag. The parson won the
$500. The church members have
held an indignation meeting and ask.
ed their pastor to resign or return the
money. According to Mr.. Kashen
the doctor wanted to make him
present and took this particular way OF
doing it. She was taken to the insane
asylum at Tyrone.-Milton Record,
June 20.
The above is badly mixed. There
is no Rev. in this county by the name
of Kashen, no town by the name of
Swinburne, and no doctor by the name
of Horning. The conclusion Of the
article is not explained, the reader
must infer whether it was the preacher,
the doctor or the horse that was taken
to the insane asylum.

Picking To Pieces.

The evil done in this world by those
whose highest aims is to speak dis
paragingly of others cannot be estimat-
ed.
The chief occupation in life Of some
men and women seem to be to find
some flaw in the character of others
and they are not contented unless
they are engaged in picking some one
to pieces or saying something that is
calculated to make light Of another. Of
ten time we hear some one speak evil OF
Others and we are keen to repeat it
we delight in letting our neighbors
learn some fault that apparently ex-
lists in some one living in the commun,
ity. We repeat things that we our
selves do not believe is true, but Others
hearing it from us, do believe it, and
circulate it as gospel truth.

Certain it is that the Argus deserv-
es and merits the patronage of the
people of the county, especially that
part lying north of Bloomsburg and
commonly designated as the upper
End" The Argus Office is excelled
but by single plant in the county,
that of the COLUMBIAN, and as news
paper will stand a comparison with
any weekly journal published in this
section Of the state, thus placing Ben
ton in the front rank among the lead
ing inland towns and giving to the
"Upper End" newspaper Of which
all can feel a just pride. The Argus
does not entrench upon the field oc-
cupied by other papers in the county,
neither does it enter their domains to
solicit advertising at less than regular
rates merely for the sake Of depriving
other journals Of their legitimate patron
age. The Argus' motto is to live and
let live, but if the dog in the manger
policy is to be pursued against it, it
will assert its rights in manner not
to be misconstrued and then "some-
