is a balance in the treasury of about
5 4 00 left from the Old Home Week
celebration. In order to secure this
money, if the executive committee
of the Old Home Week affair deem
it advisable to use It, it is necessary
to call the members together and as
certain whether it is the commit
tee's desire that the balance In the
treasury should be used for this
purpose. J. D. Weston will preside
over Tuesday's meeting when this
matter will be presented and possibly
settled.
It has been suggested, If the prop
osition meet with the approval of the
Old Homo Week's committee, that
an eu.ual amount be raised by the
hotels, restaurants and wholesale liq
uor dealers of the town, and then
raise the balance by popular sub
scription. We have been informed
that the different hotel and restaur
ant keepers have their proportion
taken care of and are now awaiting
the verdict of the executive coinrnjt
tee of Old Home Week.

firemen interested and committees In
charge of the festivities will receive
the hearty co-operation of The Citi
zen In making the proposed cele
bration one of the greatest achieve
ments ever to have been given In
Wayne county. Its columns are open
to news articles and special con
tributions that may bo necessary to
make the affair a success.

On Thursday of this week Major
MAJOR G. H. WHITNEY.
si rlbers, townspeople and Wayne
counteans extend heartiest congratu
lations to the "father of Company
E." It is the wish of The Citizen
and the Major's large assemblage of
friends that he enjoy his birthday
In the truest sense of the word and
that his life may be scared to enjoy
many like occasions. May it be as
Longfellow in tho " Second Pass
over " describes it:
"This my birthday, and a happier one
Was nevr mine."
Major Whitney, through an afflic
tion, being deprived of speech since
September, 1908, has led a retired
life. Although unable to converse
with his loved ones and friends he
has recovered sufficiently and gain
ed strength enough to allow him to
Atke" the members of his family out
riding, holding the reins over his
favorite horse, "Prince," himself.
Major Whitney was onco considered
the best horsemen in this section of
the state. He has been around
horses all his life and is a lover of
the equine beauty. His father, the
late Horace T. Whitney, established
a livery on Church streot in 1S49,
later conducted by Major Whitney
and his brother, H. T. Whitney. On
August 28, 1909, tho Major retired
from active business and rented the
barn to Fred G. Rickard, who Is now
conducting the livery.
iMajor Whitney, throughout his
life, always had the interest of oth
ers at heart and was willing to do
his utmost to make someone else
happy.
Tho major has been affectionately
regarded as the father of Company
E, having lieen keenly Interested in
tho progress of that favorite com
pany throughout its entire career
of more than three decades. In fact,
the career of Major Whitney and the
history of Company E have been
closely linked together. This dis
tinguished citizen of Honesdale en
listed In the service as a private on
August 23, 1878, and remained In
active duty for practically 29 years.
His record was as follows: Promoted
to corporal, August 14, 1879; ser
geant, July 29, 1882; second lieu
tenant, April 1, 1884; first llouten-
ant, iMarch 23, 1885; captain, April
12, 1880; re-elected captain, July
13, 1891; major and ordnance of-
ncer. Third Brigade, January
1902 to 1907. Ho refused re-elec
tion in 1907 and was succeeded by
Captain E. H. Conrad, of Scranton,
who is still holding that otllce.
During the period of tho major s
actlvo service ho attended all the
encampments, also five presidential
Inaugurations, and was present at
the Installation of five governors of
the state. Ho participated in three
parades In Now lork City and ns
many in Phlaldelphla. During his
first 15 years in tho service, Major
Whitney never missed a single drill,
and while under his captaincy, Com
pany E ranked within ono point of
being the highest rated unit in the
Stato guard.
