DR.. Palemon John.

DR.. Palemon John, we'll known in
this town and section, especially by
the older residents, died at his home
in Elizabeth City, North Carolina on
Wednesday oflast week, from general
debility. DR.. John started the Colum-
bia County Republican in 1857, and
continued as its editor and proprietor
until the seventies.
During his residence in this CON-
munity, he was one of the most pro
minent members of his party, and his
allegiance was rewarded by appoint
ments to positions of trust and profit,
among them being postmaster and
Internal Revenue Collector.
The deceased was brother to
Edwin John, of Millville.

"A SOCIAL BARRIER

Commencing next Monday, March
"a, The Willamsport SIN will begin
the publication of a serial story en-
titled "a Social Barrier" by Elmer E.
Person, a member of the SIN editorial
staff. Though woven together with a
thread of fiction. the narrative is con-
structed largely from facts. 1t is a
Pennsylvania story, favored with the
smell of the hemlocks and the back
woods, Its characters selected from the
common people, and the scenes of its
enactment those of everyday life, that
give to it a refreshing homeliness.
Though love tale with both romance
and tragedy nit, yet the climaxes OF
ga Social Barrier" are both so unique
and startling that the story has about
it vein of interest peculiarly its own.
A pretty feature of the tale is Its por-
trayal OF the power OF the press.
This story will have local interest IN
Bloomsburg because the author, Mr..
Person, formerly lived here. He grad
uated from THE CoLUMcIAN office
about fifteen years ago, and we have
watched his progress in journalism
with much interest. He was a boy OF
much promise, and he is fulfilling the
expectations of his friends.

Trestllng Damaged.

The recent warm spell and rain
combined, to melt the snow on the
mountain, and as result, Fishing
creek was on its wild behavior again.
Sunday evening, the residents of the
upper end were thrown into state
of trepidation by the rapid rise of the
waters. But so far as we have been
able to learn, the Bloomsburg & Sulli.
van Railroad Company suffered the
only loss. The trestling near Central
was damaged, and no trains were
allowed to pass over it. The tram
due In Bloomsbury at $40 IN the
morning did not reach here Monday
till late in the afternoon and then
passengers had to be transferred.
There was rapid rise in the creek
here, but it did not attain an alarm
ing height.

The Fair Association Holds Meeting.
Two New Events Added TO the Speed Pro-
gram.

The executive Committee of the
Columbia County Agricultural Society
held an important meeting Saturday
afternoon. Among the propositions
deliberated upon, were the speed pro-
gram and the enlargement of the
grand stand. No definite action was
taken on either of these questions
but committee consisting of James
c. Brown, c. B. Ent, A. N. .Yost
and William B. Allen, was appointed
to outline the race events. Inasmuch
as substantial purses insure more and
better horses, and at the same time
are prolific in the way of attendance,
it is highly probable that the a.o9
class will be cut out and two other
events added, namely, trot and a
pace, with purse of $500 for each,
and entry open to all. This will run
the aggregate amount of the purses
up to $4,000. To the horse break
ing the track record, which is 2.o81
an additional $Ioo will be paid. The
committee will report at the next
meeting to be held April a6th.
The matter of enlarging the grand
stand was discussed at length, and
the sentiment of the Committee was
decidedly in favor of an addition, but
not until the forthcoming meeting
will final action be taken. The in
commodiousness of the structure was
fully demonstrated at last years ex-
hibition, when it was inadequate to
accommodate the people who sought
admittance. On Friday many were
unable to obtain even standing room.
October 7, 8, 9 and 10 were the
dates selected for this years fair
The First National Bank was chosen
as a depository.

AN UNTIMELY DEATH.

The death of Wilson White, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. l. ID. White, occurred
at the family residence, corner Third
and Center Streets about eleven
o'clock, Saturday night after an ill
ness OF several months. The deceased
was eighteen years of age. He pos
sessed a pleasing personality, and
conducted himself in manner that
won the respect and admiration Of
everybody.
Fully conscious of the seriousness
of his condition, the parents, up to
the very last, had hopes that the life
which was just entering the age of
di secretion and usefulness, might be
saved. Friday evening, he chatted
pleasantly with some school mates
who had called to see him. Saturday
he grew worse, and when evening
came, he was beyond the aid of things
external, friends, affection, and human
love and devotedness could not succor
him, and as his eyes closed IN peace
ful sleep, the spirit departed to the
other world. The sympathy of the
whole community is extended to the
sorrowing parents.
The funeral took place yesterday
afternoon. Services were conducted
by Rev. ID. N. Klrkby of St. Paups
Episcopal Church. Interment was
made in Rosemont Cemetery.

A QUICK TRIP.

On Saturday last DR.. H. Bierman
called on number Of patients before
seven O'Clock in the morning. He
took the Penn'a. train at 7Io for
Philadelphia, by way of Nescopeck,
reached the city at 1870, started for
home at four o'clock, and arrived
he,e at half past ten by trolley from
Berwick, and called on several more
patients before retiring. His object in
going to Philadelphia was to accom-
pany Jacob Zeislott of Hemlock
township to the Hahnemann Hospital
to have some buckshot extracted
from the patients leg. That'sa pretty
good days work.

AMONG THE SPORTS.

What was probably the roughest
game of basket ball ever played in
Bloomsbury took place in the gym
nasium Thursday evening between
Pittston and the Normal. The con-
test was without semblance of SCI
ence, and there was much to disgust
the lovers of good clean sport. Prof.
Aldinger, who officiated as umpire
during the first half objected to the
manner IN which the game was being
played, but without avail, and he
withdrew from the contest, G.. Ed
Lewis taking his place.
Notwithstanding the roughness, the
game was not without its amusing
features. Shcetz, who played against
Riland, kept the audience in laugh
by his tactics and furnish enough fun
to stock several farce comedies.
To the credit of John McGuffie, a
graduate of the Normal, and who has
a host of friends in town, it must be
said that he put up the best game of
any one on the floor.
The line nm follows.

Honey as a Lubricant.

The idea seems to prevail that
Beaumont oil is about the only
thing. Lately the Brentwood
oil find has secured share of
public attention, but West Texas
honey promises to mix it with
both the other articles mentioned.
Heretofore the only use discover
ed for this sweet product of the
little busy bee" has been for table
and medicinal purposes, but a
large field has recently been open
ed for it, and that as n lubricant.
The man who has the distinguish
ed honor of being the first to use
it for the purpose is Mr.. Henry
Rodermund, the popular boot and
shoe manufacturer of Concho av-
enue. 1t seems that he keeps his
honey and his lubricating oil in
the same kind of can, exactly, and
recently, on a warm day, through
one of those accidents which are
responsible for so many great in
ventions and discoveries, took the
honey can, and proceeded to coil"
both his windmill and buggy.
1t is understood, now, that the
raw product of honey is not ex-
actly suited to the purpose to
which he put it, but it possesses
the advantage of stick-to-it-ness,
and Henry is dow said to be sit
ting up nights trying to accident
ally discover some ingredient to
mix with the honey that will be
productive of best results 1t is
hoped that he will be rewarded
with success, take a patent on the
the combination and make a for
tune out of it.

SOLDIERS REUNION
COLORADO EXCONFED.
CRATES TO MEET NEAR SAN
ANGELO, AUGUST 6 AND J.

The Press received from III. D.
Pearce, adjutant of Henry E. Nc
Culloch Camp, q. G. ", and sec
rotary of the Concho-Colorado
Reunion Association, a letter in
which he stated the association
would hold it's annual reunion
near San Angelo, in August, if
the city would furnish n suitable
place on the Concho river
The matter was placed before
the veterans and n few business
men by Captain /. u. Williams,
and they said with one acclaim,
ave must have it," and that do
settle it. What San Angelo
citizens say they must have, they
will have.
The reunion will last two or
three days, and, conditions be-
ing favorable, as many as five
thousand people may reasonably
be expected to attend. The Con-
cho-Colorado Association en-
braces Coke, Runnels, Concho and
Tom Green counties, and there
will be hundreds of visitors from
other parts of the state.
Last years reunion was held at
the mouth of Oak Greek, on the
Colorado River, near the line of
Coke and Runnels counties, and
the attendance was estimated at
from 5000 to 10000 people.
Exact arrangements for the
grounds have not been fully con-
summated, but it is altogether
safe to say the reunion will be
held near San Angelo, on the
Concho River, on the 9th and
18th of August.

In all literature there is no pas
sage better describing the JOY of a
community at the discovery of
one of It's lost members. than the
chapter by Mark Twain IN tom
Sawyer. The passage was brought
forcibly to mind last Tuesday
when special phone message to
the Press, announced that the
lost one had been discovered. In
obedience to the notice which APP
poared in our columns last week,
searchers went out in all direcd
tions with the above happy results,
When our specials were scattered
about, and the report was verified
men rushed from their business
places, the book keeper left his
stool to tell the news, and boys
and girls shared sympathetically
the happiness, Many an eye
was clouded over with JOY too full
for words, and many hear
bounded with delight, The JOY
was wide spread and sincere, ever
as general sorrow had been and owe
every mind was spread magi
happiness, as that of a brigh
spring morning. The PRESS re
ioices with the parents and feel
amply repaid at the result of it
