Noticing the attractive sign of a
festival recently Illuminating the entry
to the magnificent Presbyterian
church OF Bloomsburg with which the
philanthropic name of D. J. Waller
will always be associated in our mem.
ory, it was with some misgivings as to
what it might cost to get out that we
presumed to enter. We must say we
found it easy both ways. And we
noticed not only fairness of two kinds
inside, but also true spirit of church
sociability which some churches love
more to sing and pray about than to
put into practice, lest an unpaid
church edifce be desecrated by a
church sociable in which the luxuries
of life are bought and sold. This
much we will say upon the one hand
while admitting the possibility of thus
desecrating churches where no discre-
| tlon is exercised.
AS we were about to say in the be-
ginning, we soon found ourselves in
right good company and, in sampling
the ice cream and cake, sold at fair
rates by ladies not unfair, we felt fair
ly comfortable while eating and chat
ting with the popular pastor, Rev. l.
M. Patterson. We hope we betray no
confidence by saying this Reverend
gentleman gave US some light and
points on church matters that we had
not yet gathered. Speaking more par
ticularly of his own church we found
him quite cheerful as to the possibility
of canceling all financial obligations
without distressing his congregation,
he having that very day gotten 5000
without much trouble to apply on their
Indebtedness of some few thousand
still remaining.
However much or little of fnan.
cial success the festival may have been,
an enjoyable evening was no doubt
spent by those in attendance.

with its central location and close
proximity to the railroad, has been
chosen by the farmers as the place for

Der of comfortable coaches will be

dance of refreshments of all kinds will
be served on the grounds. A cordial
invitation is extended to the farmers
of Columbia and adjoining counties,
and the public in general, to attend
this grand annual picnic. Come one
and all, and bring your wives, your
sons and your daughters with you to

Give Us a Chew!

Cnewing-gum is now among the
thriving manufacturing industries of
bloomsbury. In the face of some pre-.
JUDGE against it we are constrained to
say favorable word for the industry
and also its gentlemanly proprietors,
Messrs. Cummings & Verdy.
Now we know there are those in the
world who are inclined to say "hold
up before you begin to say a kind
word or attempt to puff chewing gum,
for you have no sure foundation upon
which to work nothing but the ridi.
cule of every daughters mother to
stare you in the face and to look you
out OF countenance, no matter which
horn of the chewing gum dilemma you
may choose to tackle or attempt 10
justify"
In the first place, in order to defeat
any such argument, permit us to say
that the words quoted above are not
based upon uttered truth but drawn
entirely from our fruitful imagination.
Now, to commence with, let us take
the word "pepsin," principal con-
stltuent entering into its fabrication.
Who can think of it except in connec.
ton with its assistance to digestion.
Then let's associate il with paraffine,
chicle, and such sweet scented, health.
ful extracts as birch, cinnamon, cloves,
&c. Sweet memories of the past, who
should object Who will say the
breath arising from either flavor men
toned is not an Improvement upon
that emanating from decayed teeth,
foul stomachs or (in case OF aspiring
YOUTH cigarettes and tobacco We
listen to hear the answer TO our ques.
ton. AS to those who never clean
their teeth we may say with truth that
chewing gum cleans them automatic
ally, or by the simple working of the
molars on the gum. To those who
can't digest their food, whether young
or old, rich or poor, little or big, we
would say listen to us now when we
recommend Cummings & Verdy's
chewing-gum. Why, go to COWS and
calves, you ounces, and learn some
thing about cud-chewing to aid diges.
ton not only digestion but all that is
dependent upon perfect digestion, the
physical being. Doubling our word
and still adherIng to the irrational pre-.
judice against chewing gum, 60, you
miserable dyspeptics who can't digest
a roasted apple, and look into the
placid countenance Of a well-to do
COW or calf, then come to us with
your answer and prejudice against cud-
chewing. If you have ever seen poor
COW that's lost her cud because she
had no money to invest in hay you
will never come to us to complain
about cud-chewing or automatic tooth
cleaning on the part of man and
beast. Such an animal is most miser-
able, and her very face shows it. We
might go on and enlarge upon this
subject in order to root out undue
prejudice against the pepsln, chicle,
and paraffine goods of Messrs. Cum
mings, Verdy and Churchill of Blooms
burg without getting away from the
true province of a newspaper, but the
fact that their business has already
outgrown their facilities proves a fact
already we'll esta blisted, namely, that
virtue is its own reward, and that
chewing. gum in the face Of prejudice
can launch out among the business
activities, hold its own and prove tc
be a blessing in disguise at l cent a
stick.
