The Fourth at Benton.

The people of Benton have made
extensive arrangements for a grand
celebration at that place on the 4th,
and they hope for big attendance
and they ought 10 have It. When
Bloomsburg has fair, or a political
demonstration, or circus. or a Grand
Army Day, or Fourth of July cele-
bration, the upper end pours is
crowds into the town and helps to
make every public occasion a success.
AS no arrangements have been made
here for the 18th, up to this time, none
ought to be made at this late day, but
every body should take day off, and
go up to Benton and show the good
people of that youthful borough that
we know how to reciprocate favois.
We will endeavor to give details of
the proposed celebration at Benton,
In the next issue.

der, "was not able to comply with the
requirements of the agreement" This
wording does Mr. Corey injustice be-
cause it conveys the impression that
he could not obtain bail on his bond.
This is not the fact. Mr.. Corey filed
bond with his bid, with S. c. Greasy
as bondsman, which was entirely salts.
factory to the school board. They re.
CURED, however, an additional bond
for the completion Of the work by
August aoth, and this Mr.. Greasy de.
clined to sign, and here arose the mis-.
understanding. Mr.. Corey was noti-
fed that he must file such an agree
ment, as it was in the original condi.
tons imposed by the board. Not
hearing from him at the specified
time, the board took it as an indica-
ton that he declined to comply, and
so gave the contract to B. w. Jury.
But Mr.. Corey promptly began work
on the ground, and the whole matter
was adjusted by Mr. Corey signing
the required agreement, with c. A.
Klein as surety, and Mr. Corey will
complete the job.
Mr.. Corey is one of our most ex'
perienced builders and contractors
and many OF the largest factory build
ings, public buildings and residences
in the town have been erected by him,
and there was no intention on our
part to raise any doubt as to his re-
sponslbllity.

A FIRE WITHOUT ALARM.

Bloomsbury is old enough and big
enough as a place, it would seem, to
be able to raise an alarm in case of
fire. The fire that consumed Elijah
Shuts barn on Monday evening
would not be generally known yet,
but for the publicity given it by news
papers. The burning Of this barn
illustrates two important things in our
opinion Gf we may be permitted to
give it in the face of the near ap.
proach of the combustible Fourth of
JULY and that is that an unguarded
little spark might create big fire,
and when the big fire is created the
inhabitants whose homes are in ieo-
pardy should be given the benefit of
the help that general fire alarm in
variably brings What's the matter
with Bloomsburg in this particular ?

SLATE-PAOKER.


Mr.. William Hepburn Slate Of
Bloomsburg, and Miss Nellie Cameron
Packer, daughter of the late John B.
Packer, Of Sunbury, were married in
the First Presbyterian Church of Sun
bury on the 18th inst. in the presence
of large and fashionable gathering
OF invited guests. Rev. Andrew Bry.
die performed the ceremony. The
church was beautifully decorated with
flowers and palms, and the brother.in
law of the bride, F. K. Hill, presided
at the organ. Messrs. Frank Ikeler
and Frank Pursel Of Bloomsbury we're
among the eight ushers, and there
were the same number OF bridesmaids,
and maid of honor. After the cere-
mony an elegant breakfast was served
at the residence of the brides mother.
The presents received by the bride
were very numerous and costly.
Mr.. Slate is the youngest son of
the late George Slate of Williamsport,
and came to Bloomsbury last Decem-
Der and purchased the store of NJ. H..
Brooke & Co. He has made large
circle Of friends during his residence
here. A beautiful home on Fifth street
is nearly completed, which will be oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Slate, and
their coming to Bloomsbury to reside
will be cordially welcomed by society
people. Their wedding trip includes
the Thousand Islands and other points.

PRESERVE THE SABBATH.

1t seems some few radical christians
are now agitating the observance OF
the Sabbath at home While Dushore
is said to have no Sunday, (though
they 60 to church and count their
beads early there) a Sunday obser-
vance movement is spoken Of in
Easton, Pittston, Scranton, and else
where. The laboring man who forgets
to respect and fight if need be for the
Sabbath as a day of rest and worship,
deserves enslavement seven days and
nights in a week until he car see the
wisdom of Gods law in respect to
the Sabbath.

MILTON POSTMASTER,

The proposition to elect a post
master for Milton is an innovation
that some of the aspirants don't ap-
prove of, it seems. Perhaps they fear
its fairness. 1t would certainly be q
good way to help our Congressman
out of frequent dilemmas about post
Office appointments and we believe
the people could thus find just the
man or woman they want to handle
their mail for them. With eight or ten
applicants for one Office, as in the
case of the Milton post-office, what
better suggestion could Congressman
Wolverton make than that they deter
mine their choice BY al election, IN
order that he might see to it that the
right man got the place. That's the
kind of Civil Service reform we believe
IN, 1t is coming sooner or later too

Sudden Death Of Mrs. O. T. Stohner, !,

About six o'clock on Monday eve.
ming, while in her usual health and the
pursuit Of her daily toll, Mrs. Chas.
F. Stohner, of Bloomsbury, suddenly
expired of heart disease. She leaves
a bereaved husband, but no children
to mourn her loss. Thus in the midst
of life we are in death.
The funeral was held on Wednes-
day morning at St, Columba's Roman
Catholic Church, Of which the de.
ceased was a member, the services
being conducted by Rev. Father Nc
Cam. The remains were taken to
Danville for burial.
Mrs. Stohner has been engaged in
the millinery business for several
years and had built up a good trade.
She will be missed by her many GUS
toners as well as by her more i'm
mediate friends.

1t is our purpose to present to our
readers sketches of the men who are
seeking nominations for Office at the
hands of the Democracy in this coun.
ty, and to print portraits of as many
of them as will permit us to do so.
We begin this week with Andrew L.
Fritz, Of Bloomsburg, candidate for
the lower branch of the legislature.
He was born in Sugarloaf township.
His father, Jesse Fritz, was a farmer
who purchased and lived on the old
homestead in said township, where he
died few years ago, having filled the
office of justice of the peace a mum

age of seven began to work on his

The new international copyright law
has been in operation over two years,
and in some respect it is possible to
judge of its operation within that time.
Mr.. G.. Haven Putnam, who is well
informed on this subject, treats it
briefly in the January Forum, as it
effects American and foreign authors,
American readers and American pub
fishers. American authors have been
disappointed in its results. They
have not obtained the English returns
which they expected from the pro-
lection of their works by an English
copyright, and though the sales of
their books in foreign countries are
on the increase, they are hardly yet
what might be expected. On
the other hand, English authors have
been also disappointed in the sale of
their books in America. The demand
for English fiction has greatly fallen
off, and the result is that the English
have not gained at all what they ex-
pected when they could control their
own books. In neither case has the
international copyright law done for
authors what it was hoped that it
might do. They are not much better
off than they were before. But there
has been eliminated from the book
publishing trade great deal of fic-
ton which was worthless in itself, and
for which there was no legitimate
demand. American readers have not
been deluged with cheap fiction
Boston Herald
It might also be added American
readers have not enjoyed the benefit
ofso many cheap editions of high
class works of every description.

THE NEWSPAPER.

A good newspaper is the best prop
erty a county can have for the money
it costs. We do not say this simply
because we publish a paper. We will
prove it. A newspaper gives aid in
some way to every kiud Of business
and public endeavor. If a merchant
begins to sell off his goods at an es
pecially low rate, he announces it in
the newspaper, and the subscriber
saves enough in his purchases as a re-
suit of that one announcement to pay
for his paper year. If you want to
buy goods at any time your news
paper tells you the name of the mer-
chant that has them for sale. The
merchant who does not advertise
must necessarily have an old stock of
goods and out of date and shelf
worn. This is true because he does
not push his business and hurry his
stock to sale and replace it with new.
If man comes into community to
buy wheat or farms, the farmer who
has these for sale learns of it through
the newspaper. If a confidence game
or some swindling peddler attempts
to defraud the people of the county
the newspapers expose him and run
him out. If there is crime commit
ted or a fraud being practiced the
newspaper is the first to ferret it out
and expose it, and thus it prevents
more crime than the officers of the
law. If there were no newspapers in
any county in this State, we may de-
pend upon it, the criminal costs of
the courts, already big sum, would
be twice as large, because there
would be twice as many crimes. The
newspaper restraints many a man
from crooked financial transactions
and other wrong doing because of his

In country places where amusemer1
is not abundant and people depend upon
each other for diversion, neighborly ia
miliarity naturally fourisnes, and the
habit of running in to visit friends
may be carried to an unpleasant excess.
A family living in North Carolina
found it something of strain upon
their ideas Of hospitality to be obliged
every day to entertain tedious woman
of so. The favorite book or the neces-
sary piece Of work had to be put aside
in order to shout bits Of conversation in
her ear.
At last the father, in desperation,
planned to go into a sudden fit of tenn
per in the presence Of the obnoxious
caller in the hope of convincing her that
they were not pleasant people to visit.
Accordingly one evening, when he re-
turned from business and found the old
lady present as usual, he began to talk
loudly and in an irritated voice. Then,
growing more excited, he stamped about
the room, knocking furniture right and
left and ended by going out and bang
ing the door after him.
The old lady knitted away quietly
through the confusion, and when the
man was gone she turned to the family
and said in a comforting voice:
Il reckon it was mighty lucky ! was
here, or you'd had to take it. But you
needn't be frightened. III stay right
here with you till he gets over it. =
