We're watching out for greens and snakes, In dear old Wayne! In old "Mad Anthony's" county, So rich with bloom and bounty, We're boiling sap from maple trees, And testing seed of yellow corn, And digging bait, and planting peas, Each breezy, sunny, Springtime morn, Right hero in Old Wayno County. HE passing of the Brilliant Cut Glass company from tho hands of tho original stockholders into the pos session of Mr. Lozior, who for tho past eight years has conduct ed a similar shop in Aldenville, this county, is worthy of more tnan pas sing notice, because it marks a local historical fact worthy of being plirnnir.lnfl. The Brilliant Cut Glass Company tvnn fnrmprl hv an association Of ly the time when Hawley had no flro protection whatever. There wero no flro hydrants, and there wasn't a foot of flro hose in tho ontiro bor Pshaw! Hawley wasn't even bor ough in those days. It was just a place in Palmyra township where tho dwelling houses and stores wero a little closer together, that was all. There was a big celebration on July 4, 1875, and tho busness places turned out In procession. The lato George C. Courtright represented tho Hawley Fire Department with a bucket of water, a r,Iece ot Burden hose and a hand pmp. Everybody laughed at tho "contraption" as George, with smiles on his face, sent tiny streams of Middle Creek water sparkling skyward to fall on the heads of the on lookers, who said, "Oh! Oh! Look out, thero!" and -then laughed somo more. Tho fol lowing year, 187C, tho Big Centen nial year, a flro broke out in a little dwelling a short distance east of the old Ewen House one warm day in June, and it was extinguished in short order by tho heroic work of a bucket brigade. "Ned Runtime, pie we Observed on Tuesday were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schardt who were enjoying tho comforts of the wide Verandnh of. their comfortable node. Tho writer had not mot Mrs. Schardt since sho and her husband livid in their building on Main street not far from what used to bo called T-'Oter's corner. That was 37 years ago. Yes, sir, they aro "making tho dirt fly" for sure on Ilichard Murphy's corner lot on River street. It is nice digging, and soon there will bo a new residence added to that important street River street, by the way, has a better allignment of buildings than any other street in Hawley. Once more we arise to remark that tho east side of Itiver street should be preserved as a lawn, all tho way from the point whero tho sun sets over the hill clear down to tho big garage. H. G. Carr, of Dunmore, was. a business caller In Hawley on Monday. borne's Saturday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Georgo Cade, of Galilee, were guests at John W. Coles Saturday evening. Millard Teople, of Pond Eddy, visited his parents, E. Teeplo and wife one day last week. Wm. Lane of Honesdalo, was a recent guest of his aunt, Mrs. J. G. Hill. Earl Mogrldgo is visiting his grandmother at Hancock. ypniniiB neaplc who belong to a re- Hn-louo organization known as bev- ... HfiJt TjlTr tr 7 Sta wlfeWwe T spending 'a day or hefunfLL, 6 ;'two with the writer, and they insist- Saturday, not Sunday, or the first day, is the Sabbath, and they ob serve that day as their rest day. They also believe that Christ is to come back to this earth again. Ob serving a different day for the Sab bath than that observed by tho great majority of Christians, they united In starting a factory where they could "worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences." And thus sprang Into existence tho Brilliant Cut Glass Company. The point of this article and of tho enterprise itself is that tho Bril liant Cut Glass establishment was the first business that was ever be gun In Old Wayne county on re ligious as well as secular grounds. At any rate, it is tho first enterprise along those lines tho writer hereof knows about. The Brilliant met with indifferent success, and when Mr. Lozier made overtures to take it over, the stock holders, like Dickens's famous char acter of "Barkis," were "willin'," and hence tho change. Since the above was wrftten we have been Informed that Mr. Lozier has decided to remove the -"frames" and machinery from Hawley to Prompton. Of course everybody ! as if It didn't cost anything, and a ed tho excitement was raised for their special benefit. Poor old Ned! Just ten years later ho passed over into tho Great Mystory! McDonnough Brothers-. Will Build New Livery Stable. It Is now definitely known 'that Mc Donnough Bros, aro going to build a new livery stable on their newly ac quired lots on Spring street right out at tho south end of Main street, The building will bo constructed of stone and cement, and will be a cred it to both Hawley and the McDon- noughs. A Miniature Cyclone Does Damage in Hawley. On Tuesday, shortly after the noon hour had sounded, a section of a well developed cyclone came into town and did a little blustering and blow ing on its own account. It just tore around and "raised the roof" off things in general, and got In its fine work especially on tho roof of the coal pockots right near whero Isaac Male dictates tho exact time when people are allowed to cross tho Erie tracks. The south end of that roof was ripped up and rolled over just would have welcomed Mr. Lozier and his shop had he seen fit to remain in town; but thero Is nothing small about Hawley, and tho best of wishes will follow the plant, which has been re-chrlstened "The Penn Cut Glass Co., to Prompton, where good people have united in offering splendid In ducements for its location In that beautiful little town. Miss Spencer Resigns As a Hawley Teacher. Miss Spencer, of Pleasant Mount, who has been teaching in the Hawley High school, has resigned her posi tion, much to the regret of tho school board and the superintendent. Tho school officers are unanimous in de claring that Miss Spencer was doing splendid work. Tho Firemen's Annual Ball A Few Words About It. On Monday evening of this week tho firemen ot Hawley held their an nual ball, and one who was in at tendance said tho affair was all right, hut that it was not patronized ac cording to the merits of the fire or ganization, Indeed that the patronage was not up to former years. Tho same authority ventured the opinion that the fire company is so good and so efflciont that tho citizens of Haw ley have gono to sleep, and are dreaming dreams of absolute secur ity so far as danger from flro is con cerned. Therefore, feeling no need of fire protection they aro withhold ing patronage and presence from tho firemen's once-a-year call for sup nort. The sarao authority further said that it requires a strong blast to keen Hawley enthusiasm aglow. The writer begs the privilege of in forming his informant that all towns aro very much alike along these linos, and it would bo as hard to And a town that was always awake to its duty as it would bo to find a cenulne Spotless Town otner tnan that tho smart advertiser onco on a time sung about in catchy rhyme. The writer recollects very distinct- part of it was dropped right down on tho tracks by the coal chutes just like a boy will drop his wad of gum out of the back kitchen window among tho roots of tho lilac bushes and horse radish sprouts. Mr. Hughes was unloading a car of cus tomer coal at tho pockets, and ho Is quite sure that ho hoard something doing; but his presence did not have any effect that ho could precoivo on the little twister. In fact, it had como and gone before ho had oppor tunity to oven say "Jack Itoblnson!" Ho isn't quite sure that it would have done any good if ho had actually uttered those magic words. Con stable Ed Richardson, the officer who makes folks around town behave themselves and sit right up straight, was homo at dinner. Ho looked wise when talking about the town's un welcome visitor and gave his head a sad and ominous shake, thus evi dently conveying tho conclusion that it is just as well the depredation was done during his absence, for thero was nothing in It for him Hawley Snap-Shots at Peoplo As They Pass. Wilson Ames, a student at Swarth more, is spending the Easter holidays at his home in Hawley. George L. Murray, of Englowood, was homo at Eastor with his parents. Floyd Swingle is renewing old school acquaintances in tho town whero three rivers meet. W. A. Quinney, of Bloomsburg, while at homo on a holiday visit, is finding much enjoyment with his pet horse. Ray Cross, of liuckneu, also Miss Knapp, of tho same seat of learning, are greeting old friends in their homo town of Hawley. As Tho Citizen man went through tho town on Tuesday he was quite impressed in every store he visited with tho wonderful display of well ripened vegetables ho saw for sale in each one of them, in tho garden, seed racks, of course. The most contented looking cou- Tho Middle Creek Was A AVell Dammed Stream. When one travels over tho E. & W. V. railroad ho finds that from Gravity station to Hawley he Is with in sight of tho Middle Creek all of the way. There is nothing remark ably wonderful about that, for the Middlo Creek is the standard of grade; but one Is impressed with the fact that the brawling, chattering, scolding stream Isn't what it used to be not so very many years ago. There was a time when the waters of that stream turned many wheels and furnished power for a number of mills. Beginning at Varden we find a dam, and there were located the Shaffer mills. There Mr. C. C. Shaf fer sawed lumber and manufactured it into building materials. A few miles down the stream was another dam and another mill that was con ducted by L. A. Robertson and Wm. Gale. Just below that was another saw mill that tho Swinglo Brothers, James Hazleton and the father of the writer of this at various times owned. Still farther down was tho dam at Robertson's tannery, now known as Clemo. Two and a-half miles lower down was another dam at what is now called Hoadleys. For a time a turning factory was operat ed at this point. This was finally abandoned and the Pa. C. Co. turned it into an up-and-down saw mill. Two miles below this was the Farn ham dam, where another Baw mill was operated by the late Frederick Farnham. All of these dams are now gone with tho exception of the one at "Varden where Mr. C. C. Shaffer still operates his factory that turns out building materials. The waters aro flowinc right along as of yore, but all they do now is to sing their sad song of "The mir.3 will never grind again," as they go ever onward, sparkling in tho sunshine, bound for wangum falls and their final journey's end in tho big, foaming ocean. Even tho Turtles Know That Spring Has Come. One sure sign of the fact that Win ter is gone for keeps Is that of the coming forth of the turtles. The writer hereof on Tuesday, saw sev eral nice big fellows, quite as large as a dinner plate, out on the logs enjoying the balmy breezes and lis tening to tho songs of the young frogs, or "peepers" as they are call ed. If turtles come forth before danger from being frozen up is past tho writer hereof is not aware of the fact. If any of his nature student readers have information along this lino he will bo glad to learn of their observations. In the meantime let us rejoice. "For lo, tho winter is past the flowers appear on the earth; the time of tho sing ing of birds is come, and tho voice of the turtle is heard in the land." On Thursday morning the funeral of tho late Richard Murray was held at Lackawaxen. Mr. Murray lived at tho Eddy, and died on Monday morning at the age of 71 years. On Tuesday morning Julius Mar tin, who lived below Hawley about a milo. on the abandoned canal, died very suddenly ot heart failure. The funeral will take place on Friday morning at 10 o'clock with services at St. Philomena's church. Interment will be made In Hlllsldo cemetery. Tho funeral of tho lato John Thielko was held on Thursday after noon and was largely attended. The Rev. Lucas was the officiating clergy man. A goodly number of Honesdalo la dies attended the coffee klatch, that was hold by tho Hawley Presbyterian church on Wednesday afternoon. INDIAN ORCHARD. Indian Orchard, March 27. Pathmaster E.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED I by- local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. Thero 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 tubo is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caus ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.
