FRIDAY, JLYRCTI 7, 1013.
HENRY AVILSON.
Henry Wilson died at his homo In
Honesdale March 3, 1913. .
So passes one ot the foremost citi
zens of Wayne county, In law,
journalism and politics, and the'
leading spirit in this, section among
the survivors of the Civil war.
It Is appropriate that this journal,
for so many years enriched by the
product of his facile and informing
pen should pay special tribute to his
memory. At the request of Hon. C. C.
Jadwin ho came to Honesdale In
1869 and assumed editorial charge
of The Citizen. From that time un
til his retirement in September,
1008, It is doubtful If any number of
this journal appeared which did not
contain more or less of his editor
ial work. In all phases of national
politics, both current and historical,
he was thoroughly Informed, and no
journal In the country, outside the
large cities, discussed the Issues of
a presidential campaign or the poli
cies which should control the nation
with greater force and sounder logic
than did The Citizen through his
pen. He was a Republican In poli
tics, not only because he was at the
helm of a Republican newspaper, but
by reason of deep personal convic
tion of the soundness and righteous
ness of the principles of that, party.
In local political campaigns The Cit
izen under his guidance was a pow
er for the party, and in questions
of local political policy he was al
ways consulte3, and his judgment
was largely relied upon. He asked
for no political preferment for him
self and received none, save that In
187G he received an appointment as
Associate Judge of the Wayne coun
ty courts and served for a year In
that position. Always afterward he
was known as " Judge Wilson," and
the title fitted him admirably. ,He
had a profound knowledge of the
law. In his younger days he studied
law wito D. Nj Lathropo of Carbon
dale, and was admitted to the bar
December 9, 1859. On coming to
Honesdale he combined with his
journalistic duties the practice of the
law, and soon was among the lead
ers of the bar in this county. As a
trial lawyer he was not brillant,
but as a pleader, In presenting the
legal aspects of a case to the court,
In the application of facts to princi
ples of law, in his wldo knowledge
and understanding of statutes and
precedents ho was not excelled. His
is one of the names that give lustre
to the history of the Wayne County
bar..
Another phase of his many-sided
character, is shown in the deep in
terest he took to the day of his
death in the soldiers of the Civil
war. Ho. himself had borne the
hardships and endured the "priva
tions of a soldier In that war, and
he knew how to sympathize with his
comrades. For many years prior to
his death, as commander of Captain
James Ham Post, he was prominent
in Grand Army circles. There was
never an old comrade who did not
honor him and love him. Of the
burdens of the Post ho bore more
than his share, In all the meetings
and celebrations he was always the
leading spirit, and whenover any of
his old comrades In arms were over
taken by trouble or sickness or
death, his was always the helping
hand, the cheering presence and the
comforting word. But those who
knew him well, knew that his heart
was saddened as he saw the ranks of
"the boys In blue" grow thin and
thinner With tho passing years
His sympathy with tho misfortunes
of his fellows, his large heartedness,
and his kindly Interest in others,
wero traits of character that lasted
through his life. He himself had
seen much sorrow. On May 28, 1877,
his only daughter, Clarlbee, died at
the age of twelve years. She had
been the idol of his heart. He could
not quite reconcile himself to her
absence. And later on, Oct. 3, 18.93,
his only son, Bruce, died at the age
of nineteen years. A bright, brave,
recognized In him a real friend.
After the death of his wife, Sept.
30, 1910, he began to ago rapidly.
Not that among his fellows be lost
his cheerful spirit, not that he lov
ed any less the story or the depart
ed; but ho gradually withdrew him
self from the activities of life. His
step became more slow and feeble.
He seemed to feel that he was near-
ing tho entf, but he approached it
bravely like the soldier that ho was,
calmly, cheerfully, with face to the
front, ready for his final discharge.
In one matter only his interest
never flagged, his work never ceas
ed. To the very end h'ls old com
rades In arms were in his mind and
on his heart, and for them his last
work was done and his last wfsh
given.
"As man may, he fought his fight,
Proved his truth by his endeavor;
Let him sleep in solemn night.
Sleep forever and forever.
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the cloVer or the snow,
What care he? he cannot know,
Lay him low!"

STRENUOUS TIME AHEAD.
A record crowd attended the In
auguration of Woodrow Wilson.
The National Capitol had never been
more beautifully or elaborately dec
orated, nor greater enthusiasm and
warmer welcome extended to a
President than was extended here.
In the East, where Mr. Wilson, has
resided so long, he is the favorite son
of the hour. In the South, where he
was born and reared, he is tho favor
ite son because of that fact. In the
West, pride in him springs from his
conversion to Bryanism. And as
oven New England was stirred by his
candidacy, the North feels warmlj
toward him, too. All four sections
contributed to the multitude which
witnessed his taking the oath of of
flee. Tho occasion was' not partisan
Such occasions never are .partisan.
When the polls close in our quadren
nial contests and the result is an
nounced, everybody becomes tho well
wisher of. the winner, and is willing
to assist in one way or another in
installing him in office with cere
monies befitting the honor conferred
Opposed politically, Mr. Taft and
Mr. Wilson are good friends. Mr,
Taft has toasted Mr. Wilson in pub
lic as "an able, distinguished and pa
triotic gentleman," and Mr. Wilson
in conversation has expressed his ap
preciation of the courtesy. No two
men have ever ridden together from
the White House to the Capitol the
one to lay down and tho other to
take up tho burden of office whose
personal relations were warmer than
those established between Mr. Taft
and his designated successor.
No greater problems and issues
confronted any President since tho
days of Lincoln than those which
face Wilson. Tariff and trust legis
lation, currency changes and the
spirit of unrest over tho high cost
of living, tho Mexican problem, for
est conservation and other issues.
Mr. Wilson has strenuous times
ahead.
EVER heard
of that oth
er word for
a d v ertls
1 n g, per
haps, Well,
tho other
wor d 1 s
APPEAL.'
Tho mer
chant's advertisement
is nls ap
peal to the public to purchase his
goods. The first time I ever thought
of it in that way, (that Is to use the
word "appeal" in that connecti6n),
was a few years ago, when a-snappy
grocer in 'Battle Creek, Michigan, a
man who understood every side of
the business in which he was engag
ed, said of an advertisement that was
submitted to him for his approval.
" That advertisement may strike
you all right, but it doesn't APPEAL
to mo."
Appeal! Appeal!
When you are hungry awfully
hungry and you go where they are
broiling beefsteak, cooking coffee
and frying sausage or ham, then you
have a realizing sense of what that
word "appeal" really means. Every
one of those delicious odors calls
right out to you'. They ADVERTISE
their goodness. They do more than
that, for they "appeal" to you to
sample them, to use them, and to
act quickly.
Your advertisement, Mr. Mer
chant, is the odor of your business.
If it doesn't APPEAL to the hungry
public that is buying, ever buying,
and yet is .over hungry, then there
is something radically, wrong with
it. You know what , would appeal
to you. What would appeal to you
will surely appeal to others. More
appeal" in your publicity will an
swer to your satisfaction the ques
tion, Does advertising pay It
will speedily convince you that ap
pealing publicity is one of the very
best assets of your business, and you
will fully appreciate that what it
costs you to advertise is one of your
very best investments.
"Keeping Time, Time, Time
In a Sort of Runic Rhyme!"
Runic means "mystery," and poor
watches are always a mystery to
those who own and carry them.
They causo you to miss trains, to
fail in keeping appointments, and
such "mysteries" are expensive,
Rowland, Honesdale's popular jowe-
ler, doesn't sell "Runic" time pieces.
He is selling a seven jewel watch for
?9, and a fifteen jewel watch for $12,
and they are just splendid watches
in every way.
NOTE Another consignment of
"Big Bep" alarm clocks on the way.
The last lot didn't last ten days.
That's what advertising does.
It will be Impossible to miss the
"broadside" that several merchants
of Honesdale are firing this week in
the form of a page of offerings they
are making Wayne county people.
In order that everybody may be
reached by these announcements, in
addition to our large regular circul
ation we are sending a goodly quan
tity of sample copies, for we want
everybody not only to understand
what fine things tho merchants are
offering, but, if not already patrons
of this paper, to learn what a good
thing they miss if they do not read

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local appiicatiuus, as they can
not reach tho diseased portion of the
ear. There Is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness Is caus
ed by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or. Im
perfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness Is tho result,
and unless tho Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
Its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forovor; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
Wo will give One Hundred T3oV
lnrs for any case of Deafness (caus
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured

A STATE FAIR? SURE! WHY
NOT?
That tho Keystono State is to have
an agricultural fair all of Its own
is almost a certainty, as more than
two-thirds of tho various county and
local fair associations have endorsed
tho plan. Governor Toner approves
of tho plan and Is very positive as to
tho benefit it will be to the State.
Tho Governor says:
"State fairs are a potent factor in
fostering agriculture interests which
industry over will bo the most im
portant in this state and nation. Tho
proposed State fair has as its object
and purpose the permanent exhibi
tion of all agricultural progress, live
stock, poultry and horticultural,
