A coining attraction at The Lyric will be Yorke & Adams, in the latest musical success, "Playing the Ponies." Notice.

The JPullman car "Martha" of the Honesdnle and New York Express train 30 on the Erie, was "side-swiped" in the yard here on Wednesday morning by cars which were being switched. The (damage was not great, being mainly to the painting of the forward part of the coach, but was sufficient to necessitate the sending of "Martha" to Jersey City for repairs. Mayor J. Benjamin Dimmick, of 'Scranton, is being proposed for various public positions of importance, among them being a prominent foreign mission, Governor of Pennsylvania and United States Senator. KeaBons are as plentl ful as blackberries in their season why preferment in one direction or another should be the well-earned reward ot his splendid administration as mayor, and a writer for the Scranton Truth, advocat ing his being sent to Switzerland as a representative of this government, puts his claims and qualifications very con vincingly as follows : 'I feel warranted in savinc that such an appointment would be welcomed by him. At one time, because of failing health, the Mayor spent several years in Europe. Thereafter it was his custom to make an annual trin across the At lantlc, each of which occupied several i months, mis continued every year un I til ho assumed the duties of the mayor aity. ine acceptance of that ottice wrought a revolution in his manner of life. During these three years he has not been out of the country and ho has probably spent a larger portion of his time in the actual service of the city than any mayor who preceded him. It is natural to presumo that at the expira tion of his term the wanderlust will selto niru again, and it would be nioro pleas ine for him to CO abroad as thn rmiro laentative of this great country than as a W. L. Burnard has announced him self as a candidate for the Republican nomination for tax collector of the Bor ough of Honesdale. D. A. Locklin. of Xakcvillc, was a caller at The Citizen oflice on Wednes day. Ho is the owner of the Hemlock Hollow Lake, which is one of the great attractions of Lakcvillo in the summer time, ond in order that visitors may have full benefit of the fishing there he positively prohibits tip-up sport in the winter.

The new parsonage of St. John's Lutheran congregation will be occupied by the pastor, Rev. W. L. Hopp, and his mother, in about three weeks' time. It is a handsome two and half story brick structure, with stone and concrete foundation and stone trimmings, and its interior is not only conveniently ar ranged but elegantly finished. Theo dore Dreyer, of the vestry, who had personal supervision of the work, dis charged his trust with rare fidelity and judgment. Much trouble having been expen- enced by our firemen on occasions when they have been called out recently, in finding the proper wells in the river for their suction pipes, the authorities have had them all located and cleared out to a proper depth, and a stake erected at each to indicate its exact position. This work has been carefully done by John Fisher, and all persons when skating or crossing the river, are cautioned against misplacing or removing the stakes. The Baptist Sunday schoofwill open next Sunday under entirely new circum stances, and all former scholars, together with any new ones, are urged to be in their places and ready for aggressive work.

Theodore Klein, of Lake Ariel, an officer in the State Grange, and promi nent in the councils of the local organize tions in this county, is interesting him self in securing the meeting of the State Convention in Scranton next December. To this end he called on Secretary Mark K. Edgar, of the Board of Trade of that city on Monday last, and solicited the aid of that body in the project, receiv- ing Mr. Edgar's assurance that he will bring the matter before the board at its next meeting. The Grangers of the State recently met in Altoona, attracting 1,200 delegates from all sections of the State and 3,000 visitors. The next convention will bo held from Dec. 14th to Dec. 17th, inclusive, and the convention seat must be settled upon by May. The New York and other city dailies have been regaling their readers with a special dispatch from Honesdale, de tailing the remarkable experience of a lad named Frank Sherman, who, ac cording to the telegraphic account, on Thursday last, "Coasting down Terrace street, at a rate of a little less than a mile per minute, shot between the big drive wheels of the yard engine of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad." The ac count adds that "The sleigh on which the plucky lad clung struck a section of the undergear and, with the same rapid ity with which he went under the mov ing wheels of the locomotive, lie was re- bounded." Go away from homo to hear the news, is good advice. Those who remember the remarkable stories told tho city papers a year or so ago by Honesdale correspondents, about the attempts to capture Troinkle, the Canton murderer, in our Wayne county swamps will know how much credence to give to the obovo yarn, and discount it accord ingly. Lads are not riding under tho moving driving wheels of locomotives without getting hurt any more frequently In Honesdale than In other towns, Freedom Lodge of Odd Fellows will open tho new year on Monday evening next with a surprise social.

THE EGG QUESTION. Suggestion for a Wayne County Foultry Association A llmcly Hint to Breeders Why It Would Pay. Call for a Meeting. Bethany, Pa., Dec. 20, 1008. Mr. Editor. I notice in Sec'y Wil son's report, extracts in the New York Tribune of Dec. 13th, that the poultry industry of the United States for 1008 equals in value that of the wheat crop for the same year, which value is $020,- 000,000. This of course includes chick ens, turkeys, pigeons, geese and other water fowl. It is also a recognized fact that the success of the stock raisers of the. coun try has in a very large measure been due to the organization of special breeders, of certain breeds or classes of Btock. Hence we have the Jersey cattle breeders association, etc. Therefore I feel that the time is ripe indeed for the organi zationof a Poultry Association of which the poultry men and women of the country may have the opportunity of be coming members. Some of your readers will say, what purpose will be served or what advantage will result? In reply I would say : - First. That kindred workers m nny line find mutual benefit through assbcia' tion and meeting from time to time. Second Discussion upon pertinent questions produces helpful, pleasant rivalry. - Third The indiscriminate, indescrib able, spotted and speckled flocks . seen here and there through the country would soon give place to flocks of clear cut healthy, happy thorough breds, that could claim relationship to something some where. Fourth. From 10 to 25 increase in profit to the average poultry men and women of the country would result. Fifth. A poultry exhibit at our Wayne County fair that would be worth seeing would be presented. At the request of a goodly number of influential poultrymen and others I here by call a meeting to take place at the Court House, Honesdale, on Jan. 6, 1009, at 1:30 P. M., (sharp,) to take into consideration the advisability of per fecting nn organization of the poultry breeders of the county. Everyone interested in the industry is hereby requested and urged to be present and help the good work along. I remain yours very truly in the interest of the above Industry. Rev. J. B. Cody.

The Wellsboro Agitator, reprints The Citizen articlo on - the advantage of trading with home merchants, and adds : "What is true of Honesdale is equally true of towns in Tioga county. General merchandise is invariably sold in .your home town cheaper than in larger towns. Tho reason is plain enough the expen ses of the local merchant aro generally less, in rents, clerk hire and many other items. His assortment is often as good as the city dealer offers, and local com petition forces the prices down to the lowest margin in profit. In groceries, wearing ppparcl and all the necessities of life, one can live as cheaply in Tioga county as any-whero in the United States. Worth Knowing. If milk or any thing cooking on a range boils over., burns and smokes, the disagreeable smell can be prevented from going through the house by lifting the lid of the range slightly to one side and letting the smoke draw into the fire. Should tho smell of biimt food perme ate the house immediately, put vinegar on to boil and the odor will be counter acted. Some housekeepers have scented waters in their kitchen, which tho cook is in structed to light as soon as any cookery burns.
