A TIIE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 24, 1000. It J J' J J J J J I J I ' CORRESPONDENTS' COLUMN! THE MOST RELIABLE MEDIUM FOR SPREADING INFORMATION HAWU2V AND WILSONVIILE, The funeral of the late C. H. f Woodward was held last Wednesday afternoon at the house. A large delegation of Junior Mechanics, of which order he was a member, and many other other sorrowing friends were present. Rev. John Tuttle of Beach LaUe, and Rev. W. Peterson, of Hawley, had charge of the ser vices. His sudden demise Is deeply lamented, the town having lost one of Its best citizens. Gertrude Drake began her first term of teaching (he Bone Ridge school on Monday of last week. The remains of Mrs. Spears, of Brooklyn, formerly of Hawley, were brought here last Wednesday for burial. Lewis Runyon and John Kruger of Ledgedale, have secured em'ploy ment with the Keystone Cut Glass Co. Mrs. Joseph Pennell was a week end visitor of relatives at Ariel. Damages have been settled by the boys whose Hallowe'en pranks prov ed so destructive on the school grounds at Winding Hill. Charles Marshall Is very 111 with typhoid fever. Despite the fact that there was a bumper potato crop and prices rang ing low, there is a certain man at White Mills who is thinking that to possess just one of them is a great luxury and this Is how It came about. A short time ago he receiv ed notice that there was an express package at the ofllce for him, charges 11.00, ;whlch he cheerfully paid thinking some kind friend was about to present him with a fine gift. Tak ing the package home, upon opening it found four fine specimens of North Dakota potatoes each weigh ing one pound which the sender de sired he should distribute to other members of the family keeping one for himself; therefore, one was sent to Hawley and no doubt so much does the recipient prize this tuber that it may be seen on his side board reposing In the most expen sive cut glass bowl in the house, the X-ray. The other two were sent to Honesdale. And now this White Mills gentleman is wondering how he will even up jokes with the family before April 1st, 1910. : DREHER. Hon. Joseph W.

The cere mony was performed by Rev. R. B. Bellas, of Reyburn, Pa., beneath a horse shoe of laurel, beautifully trimmed with sweet briar buds with other decorations suited to the oc casion. It was by the impressive ring service of the M. P. church that the happy couple were made man and wife.

Last Thursday evening while E. F. Noble and Samuel Skinner were returning from Honesdale, when near J. B.
