URGESS MCCARTY'S
ADDRESS OF WELCOME
"Come back to your mothers, ye children for shame
Who have wandered like tt junta for riches and fame.
With smile on her Hp and n sprle In her cap
She calls you to feast In her bountiful lap."
Oilier Wendell llolmci.
As tho executive ofllcer of the Borough of Honesdale, a most
pleasant duty devolves upon me, one which rarely occurs in the
routine of official business of the executive ofllcer of any town,
that Is, of extending to you our honored guests, In tho name of
tho Borough of Honesdale, as woll as la, behalf of each and every
citizen therein a most friendly greeting and most cordial wel
come. We feel not only highly complimented and .particularly favor
ed, but honored as well by your presence here. We recognize In
you, men whose adherence to duty in tho noble work of rescuing
lives and saving property from the destruction of tho flames are
greatly appreciated by the citizens of your homo towns and vi
cinity on account of valuablo services freely rendered. Wo rec
ognize In you, men who have voluntarily taken upon yourselves
responsible and onerous duties, In which your lives may some day
be called upon to pay the forfeit, and all those for tho
unselfish purpose of being a benefit to your fellowmen and bene
factors of your race.
Wo extend to you, that WELCOME and kindly greeting, which
have from tlmo Immemorial been the boast and pride of every
people having pretentions to hospitality and friendship. In
every literature of every age, we find eulogies upon treatment
of the guest within our gates, and we not wishing and not per
mitting ourselves to be out-done In matters of this kind, assure
you of a welcome which could not be excelled. We appreciate
very keenly your response to our Invitation, that you be present
with us and participate in our festivities. Many of you no doubt
have Incurred some Inconvenience in your effort to bo with us,
but wo trust such inconveniences will be more than compensated
by the enjoyment and social pleasure of your visit. We ask you
to accept this hospitality of our town and of our people In tho
same spirit In which It is extended to you, not grudgingly but
with an open hand. It Is well known that residents of Honesdale
are vain enough to look upon their town, Its surroundings, its
natural and artificial beauty, its historical and literary associa
tions, its thrift and progressiveness with perhaps more pride than
may be thought permissible by our neighbors.
We ask you, our friends and guests during your brief stay
with us, to visit at least some of the scenes of historic associa
tions In our town, which will be pointed out to you within a few
minutes' walk from here. You may see the foliage embowered
lane, known as the Brook Road upon which still stands the
home where President Harrison wooed and won the highest lady
in the land, as well as many other shady bowers where the sen
timentalist, the idealist and the dreamer still woo the muses.
We must confess that our peoplo feel some pride In having
within the boundaries of our town the spot Immortalized as be
ing the place where tho first locomotive turned a wheel upon tho
American Continent, which locomotive is now the property of the
nation and is preserved in the Smithsonian Institution at Wash
ington. Incidentally, you may bo told that up until a few years ago,
Honesdale was the largest coal dumping ground in the world.
Many of the more sentimental of our people consider It moro
than an historical Incident that Washington Irving has written
among his immortal works, a description of Honesdale's natural
beauty, from the cliff east of Honesdale, which now and for all
time to cyne shall be,ar the name pt Irving Cliff. Those of you
who may he Interested are cordially, invited to visit our pub
lic buildings, our manufacturing establishments, our schools
and churches, but more particularly we Invite you to enter
heartily into all the festivities which aro prepared for you; we
ask you to accept and enter into, become a part of the entertain
ment which wo have undertaken to provide. We ask you to enter
Into the spirit of all the enjoyments whilo here, so that long
after your return to your homes, you may still have with you
recollections of your visit here and a longing to return and take
part In any repetition of the celebration of 1912.
