BLOOMSBURY, PA. thursday. NOVEMBER l. 1900
CHARLES B. JACKSON.

After an illness of ten days, Charles
B. Jackson, Esq, died at his home in
Berwick on Thursday, October 25th,
at about one o'clock. He had been
suffering from diabetes for several
years, but his friends were not looking
for a fatal termination so soon. He
was IN attendance at Court at the
September term, and was in Blooms
burg during the Fair, and appeared to
be as we'll as usual For nearly
week before his death he was uncon-
scious most OF the time, and the end
came peacefully and painlessly.
MIR. Jackson was the son of the
late Morrison +. Jackson, who, in his
day, was one of the ablest members
of the Bar of this county. He was
born in Berwick June 7, rS46, and
was married in Ohio on February ii,
1867, to Miss Emma G.. Campbell,
who, with one son, Alexander I.
Jackson, member of the Bar of
Luzerne county, survives him. His
mother, Mrs. Anna S. Jackson, and a
sister, Mrs. Anna G.. Oswald, reside
in Berwick. He was educated in the
Berwick schools, and Dickinson Sem
mary, at Willamsport. At the age of
eighteen he engaged in the mercan-
tile business at Berwick, and followed
it until his admission as a lawyer, in
1875, when he became partner of
his father, and so continued until the
death of the latter, in 1870. He had
large practice in this and Luzerne
counties, and enjoyed the reputation
of being a careful and honest lawyer.
The funeral took place in Berwick on
Saturday at four o'clock, and was very
largely attended. Delegations of
lawyers were resent from Bloomsburg
and Wilkes-Barre.
BAR MEETING.
A meeting of the members OF the
Bar was held in the Court room on
Saturday, October a7th, at 1890 p. m.
Col. J. G. Freeze called the meeting
to order and stated the object to be
to take appropriate action on the
death of Charles B. Jackson, Esq.
Mr. Freeze said:
GENTLEMEN OF THE BAR:
Two weeks ago we gathered in 81
lent sadness about the grave of Chas.
G.. Barkley, and 10 day we are about
to assemble for the same solemn duty,
at the last resting place of Charles B.
Jackson. To that bourne whence no
traveller returns, they have taken their
departure, and if we could see the
meeting of the spirits who have
passed beyond the sun, we can we'll
imagine the cordial greeting of friends
so lately here IN full life, and active in
the business of the world.
Mr.. Jackson read law with his
father, Morrison E. Jackson, and was
admitted to practice February 2.
1875, on motion of Col. Freeze, of
the examining committee. He was
in full and active practice almost to
the day of his death. I may truth
fully say of him what Judge Elwell
said of his father, on the occasion of
his death, in 1870: "He died with
the professional harness on" No man
can say of him that he was other
than an honorable opponent. His
course was plain, transparent and
clear. He required no writing to
back what he said. His word was
his bond.
A committee on resolutions, having
been previously appointed, their re-
port was called for, and presented by

Y, M. O. A. Anniversary.

The ninth anniversary of the
Bloomsburg Y. M. c. A. will be held
next Sunday evening,in M. f, Church,
at O'Clock.
The address of the evening will be
delivered by Thos. H. Atherton, Esq,
of Wilkes-Barre. Mr. Atherton is
one of Wilkes Barre's prominent at
torneys, and is known all over the
State as staunch supporter of the
Y. M. &. A. work. His addresses at
conventions and other Y. M. c. A.
gatherings are always listened to with
much interest and profit. We are
fortunate in securing him for our an
niversary service, and it is hoped that
he will be heard by large audience.
The practical business men of Blooms
burg will certainly be interested in
hearing what another busy business
man has to say about this phase of
Christian work.
The evening preaching services in
nearly all the churches will be set
aside, giving an opportunity for all to
join in the union service who may de-
sire. Everybody will be most cord
tally welcomed.

There are men in town who stand
on the corner all day and complain
about not being able to obtain en-
ployment, and yet, when given an
opportunity to make an honest dollar,
refuse to work. A certain resident,
on Monday, wanted some carpet beat.
He offered the job to three different
fellows, who were holding up the
corner, but it was rejected by all of
them. There are, no doubt, many
deserving ones in Our midst, but there
are just as many of the other class, as
the above proves.

Something had happened. He didn't
inquire what it was, but turned about
and sat on the doorstep and in an alb

with the stone he had bought. 1t was
five minutes before Mrs. Gallup volun-

that he had neither anxiety nor SYM

apron to wipe her eyes and finally said:
