SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION AT
ESPY.

For two days at Espy, Pa, June
and 3, with the evening between
them, there was held a convention
of the Sabbath School Association
of Columbia county, Pa. Delegates
from every part of the county were
present, making a full attendance
and a most interesting convention.
The program was carried out in
full and contained some exercises of
great value to S. S. workers, among
which we might mention series of
excellent papers on the life of Christ
by Rev. A. H. Smith of Berwick,
Pa. Several helpful addresses by
Rev. Roads, D. D., the State Sec'y
of Sabbath School work in Pa.
There was also a most interesting
talk by Rev. J. D. Smith of Blooms
burg, on Elements of Success in
Sunday School Work. The reports
from the different schools and the
many district presidents were all
encouraging, showing the work of
our county to be in good condition.
The only trouble in these conven-
tions is the small number of people
outside of delegates who get to hear
these exercises, and consequently to
be educated and enthused by them.
The Sunday School cause is one
of intense and thrilling importance.
Rev. A. H. Smith suggested a Bible
Institute in Columbia county this
summer, and on motion the work
was taken up and committee was
appointed to take charge of it

Judges Pay.

Bloomsbury, Penna., June 9th, Il 898.
Mr.. EDITOR:
In reply to numerous inquiries per
tanning to paying Judges salaries, per-
init me to inform the public that the
Judges, President and Associates, are
paid by the State, out of State money,
In the same way as the Governor,
Members of the Legislature, State
and County Superintendents' as well
as the State and public School Ap-
preparations.
The State funds are derived from
taxes on Railroad Companies, In
surance Companies, Liquor Licenses,
Notaries Public and Tax on monies
at interest. There is not a taxpayer
in the County who directly pays one
cent to our Judges, and if they pay
no State Tax then they do not con
tribute to the support of the Judges
at all. Columbia County derives far
more Public School appropriations
than she pays in taxes.
G.. S. FLECKENsTINE, Treasurer.

mons, and to Fred Ikeler for the

A MENACE TO HEALTH.

On the east side of the canal on
Catharine street there is pest hole
that is constant menace to the health
of the residents of that section. Il is
a nuisance of long continuance, and
instead of being abated by the proper
authorities, it seems to be permitted
and encouraged by them. A sign
invites everybody to "Dump your
rubbish here" The filling in of
Catharine street for the bridge abut-
ment has formed a dam which backs
the water up, and there it stands,
green and Shiny, with here and there
the carcass of a dead dog, cat, or
chicken fostering op its surface. And
into this pestilential mass the public
is invited to dump their rubbish, and
they do it. Ashes reeking with the
rotten offal that usually gets into the
ash heap, and all sorts of decaying
matter is dumped there, and the odor
is at times almost unbearable.
Besides this, the water is backed
up over land, and damages may
ensue. This matter needs the i'm
mediate attention of the Council.

Alumni Banquet.

The fifth annual banquet of the
Bloomsbury High School Alumni
was held at the Exchange Hotel
Friday evening. Through the
kindness of Bryfogle Bros, the
dining room and parlor were decor
ated in a very tasteful manner,w with
flowers and plants.
There were about one hundred
present to share i'll the festivities.
From eight o'clock till ten the time
was very pleasantly spent in social
conversation, when it was announc-
ed that the banquet was ready.
They all marched out into the
dining room and seated themselves
around the tastefully arranged
tables. After all had done justice
to the repast J. c. Brown who
was the master of ceremonies made
few remarks. The toasts were
responded to by Harry S. Barton,
Mrs. Minnie He'll Buck, Charles
E. Kesty, John Traub, Martha
Bruglar, Josiah johnson, Annie
Simon and Edward Lewis. After
these the directors were called up.
on and made brief speeches. Aftel
few words by Prof. Sterner ant
Samuel Pursel, all joined in singing
"The Star Spangled Banner"
The music, which was furnished
by the Clover Mandolin and Guitar
Club was very nicely rendered.

A NICELY ARRANGED PIGEON LOFT.

Boyd c. Evans, of the Bloomsbury
Store Company is the owner of one of
the most complete pigeon lofts in this
section of the State. Our reporter
visited the place last week and was
greatly surprised at the up-to-date
manner in which everything about the
building was arranged. The building
is two story structure, fitted up with
every modern convenience, namely,
burglar alarms, drinking and bathing
fountains IN which clear fresh water is
constantly running, and time clocks.
The latter is used to tell at just what
time pigeon returns after being
liberated from some distant town.
The loft is stocked with upwards of
hundred and fifty of the feathered
pets, consisting of homers, spouters,
outside and inside tumblers, fantalls,
and several other varieties, and Mr..
Evans has pedigrees for nearly all of
them. He has one pair of homing
pigeons which were imported from
Belgium and cost fifty dollars, one of
which was the winner of Ist diploma
900 mile concourse race, competing
against the whole United States.
Boyd's whole heart and soul is in
the business and it is his ambition to
be among the fanciers who lead and
not follow. He is now considering
the erection of an addition to the
building to be used for a reception
hall, so that he will have a place to
entertain his friends when they call
on him to talk pigeons. A visit to
the place is worth any ones time.
He is daily testing their speed,
flying them from Danville, Sunbury
and other towns, and the birds have
made remarkably good time. We
have no doubt that when Uncle Sam
decides to use the carrier pigeons for
war purposes, Boyd will be able to
lend some assistance.

Hon. Russell Karns, of Laporte,
went to Benton, Columbia county,
on Sunday, and OH Memorial Day
presented Karns Camp, Sons of Vet
Grams, with beautiful U. S. Army
regulation flag. 1t was of the best
banner silk, fringed with silk bull
ion, silk tassels and cords, and the
staff surmounted with gold eagle.
At the breaking out of the Civil
war, Lieutenant Karns led a detach-
ment of Benton boys to the front,
and it is especially fitting that the
sons of his old soldiers should name
their camp after him. We have had
the pleasure of inspecting the flag,
and it is beauty.-Sullivan Re0ieao,

REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM
DEATH.

Lewis Mensch, son of Thomas
Mensch of Franklin township had
remarkable escape from death on
Saturday afternoon. He was engag-
ed hauling sand and while crossing
the tracks of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, at private crossing about three
miles below Catawissa was struck by
the north bound passenger train.
The horses, a fine large team of sorrels
were both killed, the wagon smashed,
and strange to say, Mr.. Mensch
escaped with but few slight bruises.
The horses were carried along one on
each side of the engine for distance
of about two hundred feet.

The wet spring throughout the
country has made glad the hearts of
agriculturists who raise the annual
American hay crop, which, with a
little warm sunshine to cure 1t, will
be the greatest this year ever known.
Last years hay crop in the United
States was valued at nearly $500, ,ooo,-
900, and the record-breaker for the
current season should far exceed this
imposing figure.
