The personal property oi C. B.
Woods, for some time past proprietor of
the Shohola House, is being sold by the
Sheriff of Pike county to-day. Mr.
Woods, who is an experienced and pop
ular landlord, has leased the large hotel

For the next Lyric attraction W. D.
Mann presents a dramatization of Mary
J. Holmes' well-known and popular
novel "Tempest and Sunshine" by Lorn
B. Parker. The play has as its founda
tion the contrasts of character in the two
sisters, out of which grow naturally and
inevitably the episodes and entangle
ments which combine to make the plot.
Dr. Lacey is by virtue of his relations
with them so involved in their interests
as to become the central figure of the
story. ""Tempest's" rather passionate
nature Jeada her into mistakes which
bring her the, most serious consequences,
though' ' she is by no means the sort of
womaijjwhose conduct can be made the
subject of reprobation. The villain of
the play is personated by the village
postmaster Joseph Dunn, at first a mys
terious individual, but who afterwards
turns out to be rather a common kind
of criminal. The play is entertaining,
and well told, pure, sweet and an idyll
of loyalty of love thrilled through and
through with the tender grace of a day
that ts dead. All who desire to see a
first class production, presented in a first
class manner, should not fail, to see
'Tempest and 8unahine" on Friday
. Tlie Honesdale National Bank will
be closed on the following legal holidays
in this month : Friday, Feb. 12tb, Lin
coln's birthday: Tuesday, Feb. 16th,

E. E. Jones, of Susquehanna, has
introduced a bill in the legislature pro
viding for a State commission to buy a
State fair site, erect buildings and start
a fair. The bill carries an appropria
tion of $J5,0IX. This is a measure that
Hon. W. C. Norton, of Clinton town
ship, this county, has been interested in
for several yews, and if a State fair is
created it will undoubtedly be largely
through his efforts.
The State Highway Department to
day issued blanks to the supervisors of
the 1.518 townships of the State requir
ing reports from them about the amount
of cash tax levied and collected for road
purposes. This is done under the act
of 1905 and if they make return they
cet 15 per cent, of the money from the
State. Two years ago many reported,
but others have failed, being evidently
under the impression that one report is
enough. If they do not report this year
tbey lose the appropriation.
Mrs. Griffith Van Fleet, of Great
Bend, who was shot by her husband, a
fortnight ago, the latter then putting a
bullet through his brain, is dead. Van
Fleet came home drank, found his wife

house with a gun and shot her. He then
walked up to her, gave her a kick and
said, "Lay there and die and I'll go
home and do the same myself." Van
Fleet carried out his threat. Mrs. Van
.Fleet was discovered in the snow, on the
roadway, and removed 'to. the hospital,
at Susquehanna, where she died.
The anniversary, February, number
of "The Jewelers' Circular" is one of
the best printed, artistically illustrated
and generally interesting magazines we

maid admiring herself in a hand-glass,
ifi a real work of -art, creditable alike to
to the painter and the'printer. We were

AVilkes-Barre, has started what is known
as the Anthracite Bible Headers' Move
ment. It is the purpose of the commit
tee to extend this movement from every
Association center in the region to all the
small mining communities. The plan ie
very simple and practical and is meeting
with" d hearty response from the men in
the communities where it has been pre
sented. The movement enlists the in-
terefct of those who are not in the habit
of giving time to regular Bible study.
James D. Bryden, of Pittston, lias been
engaged by the committee to lead in the
promotion of the movement throughout
the entire Anthracite field.

was a most instructive and uplittingone;
one calculated to do immense good to
tlie agriculturalists of Wayne county,
from little to big, and one which we hope
will be taken seriously by every tiller of
the soil in this region, from a kitchen
gardener to the two-hundred-acre farm
er. Mr. Cody is a muscular preacher,
and talks just as forcibly from the
shoulder as from the heart ; from be
hind the mowing machine or hen-coop
as the pulpit ; and people who have ter
restial as well as celestial interests at
stake will do well to listen to him. His
excellent speech will be found in the
columns of our more favored contemporaries.

and freight offices at that station, don't
please the residents of our sister borough
a little bit. At an indignation meeting
held recently, the Erie Company was
handled without gloves, and the Times
makes it pretty plain that the scoring
was well deserved. Passages from the
original contract between that corpora
tion and the borough were read, from
which it clearly appeared that the right
of way originally granted to the com
pany was from the Paupack river bridge i
to the railroad bridge near the glass
works, and the consideration was that a
ticket office and freight depot should be
forever maintained at some place be
tween Sarah N. Spencer's house and
the WilsonviUe road, now known as the
Eddy crossing. As a suggestion of the
business and passenger importance of
the lower station let this item lie noted :
that recently the Erie company set a
watch at the Eddy crossing with ref
erence to determining the necessity of
installing gates at this crossing. The
official found that in a single day more
than 500 people and 200 teams passed
over the tracks at that point. At the
meeting in question a committee of able
and far-seeing men was appointed to pro
ceed with the movement to compel the
company to re-open the closed o Sices,
with authority to cany the case to the
superior court if necessary. : A (and of
$1,000 wa raised for the purpose.
