Saturday, May 15th. is the last
date for candidates for country of

tion to file petitions with Board of
County Commissioners.
Judge Purdy is presiding at the

The sun shone for a little while
on Sunday. We were all glad of
this, but we have a right to hope that
the weatherman will be kind to us
now for a few days, and give us some
nice, warm days. Are we not de
serving of it?
The plays at the Lyric theatre
this week are attended by large
crowds. Those who like to laugh
and who like to enjoy a pleasant
evening should attend.
Health Officer N. D. Spencer has

Not very many weeks remain be
fore tho Fourth of July will be here.
Will the enterprising citizens of
Honesdale let this glorious day pass
by without properly observing it?
There is none of us, whether old or
young, who does not delight in see
ing a great demonstration on the
ever-glorious Fourth, and it 1b In
deed the proper spirit to have. A
hustling committee should be ap
pointed to make the necessary ar
rangements for a big celebration, and
if such a committee is appointed at
once dhere is no good reason why it
cannot be carried through to a suc
cessful end. Other places intend to
celebrate the "day of all days" this
year, and it Is sincerely hoped that,
the, 'people of this place will make
sonie move in the proper direction.
If jive do not celebrate tho Fourth
her(e there will be hundreds of our
people who will spend the day in
other cities, who would otherwise
stay at home and help observe Inde
pendence Day here. Our forefathers
did much for us; let us, the people of
Honesdale, do this much In remem
bering them.
Let all our correspondents re
member, when writing Items for The

Into tho waste paper basket. We
do not wish to do this here. Names
should also be written plainly.

It to a question with those who
have closely investigated the Knapp
failure, whether the Bank was the
cause of the Outing Company's fail
ure or the Outing Company caused
the Bank to fall. 1 Both concerns, If
managed seperately and judiciously,
would have been eminently success
ful. All agree that there was "no
woman In the case," which is now a
common cause of business failure.
The annual meeting of the
Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank was
held yesterday at the bank. The
present board was unanimously
elected. The annual report showed
a good, healthy Increase of busi
ness, having gained bver $36,000
in total assets since their last state
ment, and the outlook very prom
ising. The directors after a
thorough and careful examination
in to all details of the Institution,
expressed very freely their pleasure
and approbation for the economical
and very conservative manner In
which the active managers have
performed their duties.
The pupils of St. Mary Magda
lene's School have, during the last

previous to their promotion. They
are anticipating a good average

Thick, wet, blowy, and raw, a.
rush of weather of tho nil-star varie
ty and all ways bad, struck Hones
dale early last Thursday morning.
The outrage on the month of May
did not come without warning. For
the last week spring house cleaning
up above, has been causing all sorts
of blowing spells about the city.
The storm was a record breaker for
this time of the year. Shortly af-
er 2 o'clock in tho morning tho heavy
wind and fall of snow set in. It
was impossible to time the wind,
while the beautiful was dusted down
from the dados and cornices of the
clouds, a leftover of last February.
Up to noon the snowfall had beaten
all tho heaviest records by six-tenths
of an inch, according to tho weather
man. As the day 1 ecame older, tho
weather cocktail became more var
ied. A mixture of rain and hail
that Hew all wjtys and was productive
of many comments, was alternated
with a wlerd display of heavenly fire
works. Inquiries from about this
place, and suburban towns were to
the effect that the bombardment of
snow and hall had been non-effective
in delaying traffic and passenger
trains. Among those who took tall
around exceptions to the cutups of
the weather magnates were the sub
urban gardeners. The line beds of
early onions, lettuce and other spring
vegetables that had been growing
so nicely, were soon partly covered
with the snowy mantle, resembling
evergreens peeping forth from a win
ter blanket. The wise ones are au
thority for the statement that the
snow will do little injury to the early
vegetables, as they are all of hardy
nature. No accidents, duo to the
weather, were reported, though many
inexperienced in the art of crossing
the many Jordans, or rushing rivers
along the street corners, got their
feet good and wet.
The members of the Wayne
County Agricultural Society held
their May business meeting at the
Allen House on Monday afternoon.
The following business was trans

amount of purse money to be di
vided between the six races will be
$1,200. A committee composed of
T. B. Clark, Levi Patterson and Em
erson Gammell was appointed to
fix the classes for the races. W. E.
Perham, J. V. Starhes and Emerson
Gammell were appointed to act with
the committee of the Wayne County
Poultry and Pigeon Association to
arrange a special prize list for the
fall show. October 5th will be chil
dren's day. Teachers will be re
quested to send In the number of
children in their schools to the sec
retary. Darling's Animal Circus con
sisting of forty animals, has been
engaged to give free exhibitions.
The dates for the business meetings
have been changed to the second
Tuesday in January and May.
A verv impressive ceremonv took
place in St. Marv Maedalen's church
on Sunday evening, It being the
opening or the May devotion. The
procession was formed by the chil
dren and the young ladies, members
ot the Sodality, whose patron saint
was tne object of veneration. The
young ladles were all robed In white
and carried lighted candles. They
sang the invocation of thn T.lt nnv at
the Blessed Virgin and also the "O,
Salutaris" and "Tantum Ergo" very
nicely. Four of the number, Misses

Attention of our readers Is
called to' the statements ' pti the
four Honesdale Banks which .ap
pear on the eighth page of our pres
ent issue. The healthy condition; qf
thesd institutions Bpeak volumes of
praise for their respective manage

flrBt industrial exposition was open
ed on Saturday evening, May 1st,
with a blaze of electric lights and a
gab fest which was enjoyed Im
mensely by the legions of loyal
Scrantonians who were In attend
ance. Like all the expositions
everything was not Just ready
but a degree of preparedness was
visible that reflected ereat credit
on the management. The decora
tion together with the tasty man-,
ner of showing the many exhibits
blended together so nlcelv. that
the big hall presented a most beau
tiful scene and the encomium of those
present If heard by the management
must have been very gratifying.
Every concern of any account In
Scranton has an exhibit. Many
have gone to considerable exnenso
to show their Roods and products
and It all goes to prove that Scran
ton is fast going to the front as a
manufacturing center. A visit to
the exposition will be one of pleas
ure and profit to those who avail
themselves of the opportunity.
The Gardner-Vincent Stock com

week, appeared In .Monday's night's
cast and his work was highly ap
preciated by those present. The
