The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1899-09-14

WilSSio Ob odtuibaN ioo'' my hoNS
been on an extensive tour
During last week we were hand
somely entertained by comic show
that produced much laughter, run by
.. B. Edsell and Pearl Winthrope.
They are jolly entertainers.
VIM c. Johnson has just closed his
law studies with great deal of credit
in Philadelphia. He proposes to
practice in Bloomsburg and doubtless
will meet with success. He was at
one time our County Superintendent.
Jerseytown lacks good pavements,
her boardwalks are ancient and dilapi-
dated.
The Hotel Crawford is undergoing
extensive improvements. This is a
well kept hotel. VIM. F. Crawford
and son run the affair and understand
the business. They are accommodating
gentlemen.
Don't flil 10 attend the Columbia
County Veteran Association Reunion
to be held at Millville on Saturday.
I 9th inst. Procession and good speak
ers are engaged This doubtless, will
be an interesting time. A good dinner
will be provided the public at reason
able rates
We had lolly day here on Friday
last, two conspicuous citizens of
Bloomsburg visited our town. Will
llams the well-known auctioneer of
horse flesh and real estate, and the
former popular bartender Of the Ex-
change, Hendershott. They were
hospitable to the boys. Come again
gentlemen.
Reopening the NJ. f. church at
Eyers Grove came off on last Sabbath.
DR.. Thompson of Pittsburg preached
excellent sermons in the morning and
at night to full houses. Preaching all
week. This is now gem of church
through the energy of Rev. David Y.
Brouse the pastor. He is church
builder as we'll as good preacher.
Saturday night we were haransued
by two Mormon preachers. They
harped upon their creed which seemed
all right, but they failed to say any
thing about poloygamy; the IS wives
that Brigham Young had and the cold
blooded slaughter OF emigrants-men
women and children at Mountain
Meadows few years ago, by the en-
issaries of Brigham Young. They fail
to say about the every 10th dollar
Brigham got, with which he built his
mansions, the big tabernacle and the
organ that cost huge money.
People who have never visited here,
will be surprised and delighted at this
beautiful country, while the roads for
miles in any direction are excellent,
being made OF black slate that hardens
and becomes as level as floor Geo.
Whitenight and Peter Workheiser are
the efficient supervisors; would that we
had more such supervisors, we would
hive better roads. Assuredly there
are taxes enough to have good reads,
and many roads are made over hills
that could be avoided. The cry
comes from every direction "better
roads,
We now allude to the cemetery near
Jerseytown, surrounded by beautiful
country. This small cemetery has
some excellent monuments, but this
small city of the dead is in lament
able condition, brambes and briers
and weeds growing all through It.
How easily each family could cleai
away the trash and fix up the place.
1t is in bad form TO neglect youl
friends who are deposited in the earth
Fix up this grave yard where your re
latives and friends ale lying. Do !,
this beautiful weather. Plenty of time
this Autumn. Save yourselves further
censure in this regard ''oh ye" people
of Jerseytown and vicinity.
