Let ters of administration were also granted to Kate Blllard in tho estate of George Billard, late of Hawley, deceased. A Reading story is that the towns along tho Schuylkill are ob jecting to (Improving sewage disposal because it would cost $8, 000, 000. Most of them have already installed systems which remove tho danger for tho present. None of Reading's sow nge gets into tho Schuylkill as it has a disposal plant. While attempting to hurry a fire in a stove in the office of the Max well stone dock at Pond Eddy, on last Monday night by the use of pow der, Edward Kirby and Albert Corey, two quarrymen, were burned. Some other powder In tho place became ignited and started a fire which de stroyed the office. The last will and testament of Grace L. Dunn was probated on Dec. 7 in Register and Recorder W. B. Lesher's office and Bertha A. Wadgo and Samuel Wadgo were named as executors. She bequeath ed to Dr. F. W.

Anthracite shipments for No vember amounted to C, 105,330 tons, a decrease of 27,778 tons from No vember, 1911. Tho shipments in Novyj'ber, 1911, however, were very lae and established a record for the eleventh month of tho year. The shipments last month were larger than tho November shipments In either 1910, 190? or 1908. Clarkson Nicholas, of Jefferson vllle, Sullivan county, who has been a patient at tho State Hospital In Middletown since September last, committed suicide Monday morning by placing his head on the rails of tho State Hospital switch, in front of a car of coal which was being placed on the scales by the Erie yard gang of Middletown. Nicholas was being treated at tho hospital for melan cholia, and is survived by his wife, who resides at Jeffersonvillo. He was 32 years of age. Tho question whether Pennsyl vania is to make substantial progress in highway construction will be squarely up to the Legislature that Is to assemble In Harrlsburg early next month. All parties stand pledged to good roads. Tho wide spread popular demand for real high way improvement Is unquestioned. The coming legislature will have no moro important business than this. Tho general disposition among mem bers of the Senate and House is to approve the proposition to amend the Constitution to permit of an issue of $50,000,000 of bonds for road con struction. This was unanimously en dorsed by the 1911 Legislature, and if approved In the coming session can bo submitted to the peoplo for final action In 1913. Of all the uncertain crops, mush rooms probably stand at tho head. While they will sometimes grow of their own accord, apparently as easy as weeds, they often refuse to grow under the best conditions. This is why they usually sell at a price that seems high; if they could bo grown as cheaply as potatoes they would not sell for any more. Whllo mush rooms aro not particular where they grow, when you consider that they need a temperature of between 50 and CO degrees, a moist air where tho ventilation is good and where there are no drafts, and that there should be water under or dripping on to the bods, and that there must be no rats In tho sheds or cellars, you can get some Idea that it is neces sary to havo a place where you can not only heat and keep tho cold out in winter, but also keep tho heat out in spring and summer. Farm and Home. Tho coolness of Dr. Leo 11. Joyce, of Passaic, N. J., when a Sus quehanna Railroad express bore down on his automobile at a danger ous crossing at Butler Monday saved his own lifo and that of three other occupants of the car. With his wifo and Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Cronin, Dr. Joyce was returning from a trip to Newfoundland. Tho machine was almost upon tho crossing when tho train camo thundering along with out warning. Seeing llttlo chance of clearing tho tracks before tho train he swerved sharply to tho left. Ho then shouted to tho women to Jump and they leaped down an embank ment at tho side of tho railroad. Tho engineer slackened tho speed somewhat, but tho collision could not be avoided. Tho express camo to a stop and passengers wont to the aid of tho Injured autolsts. Mr. Cronin was tho only ono to escape Injuries. Mrs. Joyco's nnklo was dislocated and Mrs. Cronln's sldo was badly bruised. Dr. Joyce received a dislocated wrist and Injuries about his legs and body. Savo car faro by purchasing your mcrchandlso at homo. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. II .M. Blake, near Bethany, on Saturday. 'Fred Bryant has purchased a 1913 model Reo, flvo passenger tour ing car of E. W. Gammell. Tho supper hold at tho Bethany Methodist parsonage Wednesday night was Inrgely attendod by Honesdalo persons. Good roports como from Geo. Uuorkot, who Is now in Washington, D. C, in a preparatory school, whore ho is qualifying himself to enter West Point. Tho ninny attractive window displays one sees passing up or down our main street are sufficient proof that our merchants put much com mercial value to tho holidays. Horace Malloy, who Bpent a few days In the county jail for bolng In toxicated and disorderly on the streets, and who was released Mon day was again brought beforo Bur gess C. A. McCarty on Tuesday. Ho was released after having signed the pledge. There Js a possibility of another passenger train being operated up on the Honesdale branch of tho Del aware and Hudson railroad when tho Criminal Insane Hospital at Farview is opened. The increased traffic on the branch gives founda tion to this rumor. Charles Ettlnger, who for the past few years has been car repairer for the Erie and Delaware and Hud son companies at this place, has been transferred to Dunmore. This made a vacancy, which was filled by Fred Wblttaker, a Delaware and Hudson freight platform employe. Fred Wilmoro has succeeded Mr. Whlttaker. A keroseno lamp exploded In tho homo of Frederick J. Walter on River street Tuesdny evening about 1 0 o'clock and caused a small blaze which was soon extinguished without much damage bolng done. One of the members of the family seized the lamp and threw It out of doors. The woodwork and curtains caught firo but wero smothered by a rug. No one of the family was seriously Injured, other than a few burns on the hands received when extinguishing the fire. At a meeting of tho Business Men's Association held last Wed nesday evening the commltteo ap pointed to make arrangements upon abolishing tho meter rents reported that they had waited upon the Electric Light company and made satisfactory arrangements for the discontinuance of said gas and elec tricity meter rents. The matter of merchants purchasing tickets, and supporting organizations and the like In the way of donations, etc., was discussed but no definite action was taken. Committees wero ap pointed to wait upon the merchants and business men of Honesdale re garding the matter. President H. F. Gurney, of the Gurney Electric Elevator company of this place, met with tho board of directors of that institution on Tues day afternoon to consider business propositions pertaining to tho old plant, where elevators are now being built. It was the concensus of opin ion of the board that it wanted to manufacture the best article possible when the shop would become va cated. Mr. Gurney told a Citizen representative that he had two or three good propositions in view, but that the board had not decided upon any as yet. The prospects for Hones dalo are exceedingly bright. It is possible that tho proposed new in dustry will by no means bo a small one. A petition Is being circulated by W. H. Dunn, of Beachlake, for tho establishing of a state highway un der the provisions of the Sproul bill between Indian Orchard and Nar rowsburg. A state road Is already laid out between Honesdale and In ian Orchard and tho proposed piece of highway between that point and the Delaware vallev oovnrs n ins tance of about twelve miles. This' is unquestionably ono of tho most extensively traveled highways In Wayne county. Tho petition is nu merously signed by residents both of Wayno county and Sullivan county. In order to secure this piece of road as a stato highway, an amendment to the Sproul act will have to be passed by tho coming session of the legislature.

Lesher and family returned to Honesdalo aftor a fortnight's va cation. Ho also took along with him tho skin of tho deer ho shot as a proof of his success. Recently Russell Butlor caught In a dead fall a wild cat that measured from paws to paws, when atrotched out, forty inches. Ho will havo It mounted, and then It will speak for Itself. Last week Lewis Myers carted away threo skunk skins (tho kind of legal tender Madlsonvlllo ministers recelvo for their services) and by tho scent In the air at times, wo don't bollevo they aro all dead yet. A number of foxes havo suddenly expired, to say nothing of tho death of sundry squirrels, pheasants, etc. Dr. R. A. Smith also had a ilno bear hanging by the heels for a week or two on his front porch. It appears that over sinco our lato presidential election the woods Is full of deer, bear, foxes, rabbits, Democrats, skunks, rattlesnakes, wild cats, and other venemous and noxious animals and reptiles. We recently heard that our enter prising .mall carrier shot a bear and wo would refer the reader to him for further particulars. At O. B. Megarglo's funeral, tho children wero all present, and Rev. W. E. Webster based his remarks on "What Is man that thou art needful of him?" The G. A. R.'s had charge of the burial, and tho following vet erans of tho sixties wero present: John Smith, A. B. Williams, John Stevens, H. J. Moon, W. E. Fergu son, David Edwards, J. W. Bidwell and Chaplain S. P. Simpson. We thought ono of tho most solemn and Impressive moments was when Com rade Edwards "sounded taps." For some time past, Mrs. Harriot Seville has been on tho sick list, but wo aro now pleased to say that Dr. Simons says that sho is improving. Mrs. W. J. Phllo Is again in a Scranton hospital.

Mrs. Salllo Stevens has had quite a serious time with pneumonia, but we hope tho crisis is past. NEWFOUNDLAND. Weather fine for this tlmo of year. George Summers, of Stroudsburg, was a business caller in town on Saturday. Many farmers attended the local farmers' institute at Greentown Fri day and Saturday. A letter received from C. W. Akers, an old resident of this place, who is now In California, stated that he had cut off two of his fingers In tho shop of his brother while using a hand saw. POMONA AT HEKC1I GROVE. Tho December meeting of Wayno County Pomona Grango No. 41 was held at Beech Grovo Grange No. 1089, on Dec. 5. Ab n result of rain and bad roads tho attendanco was not so largo as It otherwise would havo boon although tho turnout was good with many delegates from tho soveral granges. The morning ses sion was a business one. After a bnunttful dinner and general good time tho afternoon session was called at 1:30 o'clock. Wo wero very much disappointed In that our worthy lecturer did not get home In tlmo to be at tho meeting. Brother Baker was appointed to present tho "honor banner" to Beech Grovo Grango, which had tho largest gain In membership for tho past quarter. W. W. Baker and J. F. Leo were ap pointed lecturers. It wns thought that a question box would bo a good thing for tho after noon session In absenco ot tho pro-) gram of the worthy lecturer and tno discussions therefrom wero as fol lows: "What must wo do to keep the boys on the farm?" "What Is tho best kind of litter to use for chick ens?" "What Is tho best for chicken house, upper story or ground floor?" "How can wo renovato old past ures?" "What breed of chicken Is tho most profitable?" "What Is tho rea son for the decrease In farm popu lation?" "Has a grango any right to confer tho four degrees In ono night?" "What shall wo do with our apples?" "Has the farmer over made any money farming?" "Is alfalfa a paying crop and how would you sow the seed?" After the fifth degreo meeting the candidates were initiat ed and grange closed until 7:30. The corn and applo show that should have been held at this tlmo was postponed until tho February meeting and It was decided to hold tho next session at Honesdale. The evening meeting began by singing, "As We Go Marching On." Address of welcome, R. E. Ransom, of Beech Grove, well responded to by G. A. Curtis; select reading, Brother Shaffer; solo, Sister Bartlow. A fow more questions were now discussed among them, "What can the husband do to lighten tho burdens of tho housewife?" Carrie Hlghbotham gave a select reading, "The Baldhead Man;" Bro. Ferris of Maplewood grange, short talk on grango work; reading, " A Fly Cogitations," Sister Eno; read ings, Bro. F. W. Stephens, "Tho Evils of Profanity," and "The Farm er Boy." Tho commltteo on resolutions re ported favorably on the Myrick Mon etary System and the grange accepted the report and ordered the resolu tion sent Into tho senate and house of representatives. Edw.
