I lng week in Hawley. Peo
ple have Deen marrying anu
giving in marriage, wo have
had a real live Congress
man in our midst, the sweet girl
graduates have had their place In
the lime light, and as Citizen read
ers go through this department the
affairs of the town will doubtless be
settling down to a normal condition
of miietness. A whole lot more
might be written along this lino, but
we must make our introductory bow
very brief this week.
What is Going on Up
At tho Proposed Dam.
After spending over $900,000 on
the big reservoir that will reach from
Wilsonvllle to Ledgedale it is quite
unnecessary for anybody in Hawley
to worry over the question of the
completion of the great enterprise.
The Company at the present is se
curing new holdings and as soon as
this part of the programme Is com
pleted and the old roads are vacated
and new ones opened, the dam prop
er, -a proper dam, or dam without
any props under or about it, will
be built, and then there will be
power, and lights and heat on tap at
prices, we trust, reasonable enough
to suit everybody.
t t
Tho Eddy People Are
Enjoying a Bit of Rest.
Recently In this department we
noticed at some length the troubles
Eddy people were having over the
location at the railroad crossing of
an automatic electric signal bell
which disturbed their slumbers deep
in the silent hours of night and at
other unseasonable hours. Last
week some man with authority went
to the crossing and fastened a notice
that announced that the bell was out
of order, and since then there has
been peace and quietness in that vl
cinlty. They were sure all along that
tho bell was out of order. People in
the vicinity of the crossing are now
making up for last time, and "the
seven sleepers" are not in tho game
oven a little bit.
t t
Dr. Rodmnn Entertains
A Distinguished Guest.
On Sunday last Dr. George T. Rod
man entertained at his summer cot
tage at Farview Lake Dr. Harry Ble
dericlc, one of the six survivors of
the Greely North Pole expedition,
which began In 1881, and ended in
June, 1883, when the party were
rescued from perishing from starva
tion after spending three-winters in
tho Arctic regions. It is a matter
of history that their sufferings were
so extreme that in their desperation
tho party had been reduced to eat
ing the bodies of their dead com
rades. Dr. Blederlck was the chemist of
tho ship's crew. Ho is spending his
summer in "Wayne county at tho
home of John Spinner, In Cherry
Ttldgc township, near Honcsdale.
Mis residence is in New York city,
and ho is a naval pensioner of the
United States government.
X t
Slight Wreck nt "Tho Rocks"
On Saturday Last.
In the middle of Compton's switch,
n mile west of Hawley, Is a point
known as "the rocks," and there
was a wreck at that point on Satur
day last. Conductor Quick was west
ward bound with a 95-car train in
the rear of which were two pusher
engines separated by a caboose. At
"the rocks" an air hoso burst In the
centre of the train which acted as a
paralyzer from the point of break
to the head engine. The result was
that three cars were piled up, one
of the engines got itfe nose scratched
and just in the nick of time the con
ductor in tho most danger jumped,
struck the ground on his feet, stum
bled, then scrambled out of danger.
It was declared to be a very narrow
escape. Dunmoro wreckers were
called and the tracks were cleared
after a two hours' stoppage.
An Early Morning Marriage
In the Month of Juno.
On Wednesday morning bright and
early there was a marriage in St.
Phllomena's Catholic church, the
contracting parties being Charles
Touhlll, of Plttston, and Elizabeth.
Caprlo, of River street. Leo Ton
hill, a brother of tho groom, was
best man, and Sadie Madden, of East
River street, was bridesmaid. Mr,
and Mrs. Touhill, after tho wedding
breakfast, and the congratulations
of friends, took the eastbound Erie
train for New York. They will spend
their honeymoon in the Empire
state, and on their return will im
mediately occupy a home in Pittston
that Mr. Touhill has already nand
somcly furnished.
t X
Bright Prospect Ahead for
Tho Railway Telegraphers.
The skies seem to bo clearing for
the Order of Railway Telegraphers.
Last week it really looked as if a
strike was imminent; but conditions
have now changed. Tho Erie com
pany has slgnifled a willingness to
meet with the officials of the Tele'
graphers, and this will undoubtedly
lead to a peaceful and happy ending
of the existing differences. In this
age of competition, industrial strife
and monetary madness it is a wel
come change indeed to see an occa
sional peaceful ending of differences
between the great powers of Capital
and Labor.

Friday last. Mr. and Mrs. Thornton

t t
That Bnso Ball League
Is Not Materializing.
Notwithstanding the fact that
there are lots of people in Hawley
who believe it is quite feasible to
have a local base ball league, yet It
seems to be quite Impossible to get
the boys together on the subject,
Evidently they can't 'organize. The
writer has been told that the Jinan
clal end of tho matter could bo tak
en care of without much trouble. If
that is so, if it is true that It is
money that makes the world go
round, then there shouldn't be much
trouble over a little matter like
local league of ball tossers. Why not
have the nrst game of a series on
tho White Mills grounds? Now, then
wiiat say you, gentlemen?
t t
Baptist Ministers Have
Full Swing This Year.
Rev. C. O. Fuller preached tho
High School's Baccalaureate sermon
at the Baptist church on Sunday
ovening last. In this county this
year six ministers of that denomlna
tlon have been chosen to deliver the
baccalaureate sermons, a condition
unparallelled In local history,

CjWe are well aware of the fact that more people are capable of starting a
bank account with a small amount than with a large one.
The principal thing is to start; then keep adding to your account by regu
lar and systematic savings,
Starting the ball rolling; that is the hardest part, After it once gains
momentum the rest is easy,
CjBegin right now; $1.00 will do it and will be as welcome as a larger

Oiled Roads, or an oiled roadway,
to be more precise, was encountered
In the heart of the town. In this one
respect, at least, White Mills is
ahead of both Honesdalo and Haw
ley. The smell of crude petroleum
Is surely prererauie to lnuanng oust,
t X
Dangerous Is the corner around
which one sweens into town from tho
depot. They are not content with
any such word of warning as that,
They like to be more explicit In
White Mills, so a sign was painted
and hung high in the centre of tho
street, so that all who read or scorch
ed might seo it which reads
What ....
F.P. Woodward
Says about
Potato Bugs
and Pyrox:
BAD CORNER
BLOW HORN.
The one who was instrumental in 1
producing that sign undoubtedly is I
a believer in advertising, especially j
In the old advertising saving which
runs like this: "Whosoever bloweth !
not his own horn, for him shall not
his horn be blowed."
X
Right Up Stairs on the second
floor over the barber shop we saw
tho sign of Hittenger & Ham; so up
went tho writer to call on those gen
tlemen, for Hittenger is a name fa
miliar for years, and almost every
ody knows W. H. Ham, who for so
long a time was bookkeeper and
paymaster for the great Dorfllnger
glass works. In the office up-stairs
we found, well, really, it seemed as
if we had found a boy we knew
years agor even Joe Hittenger, who
was a "Dan Allen" student in the
Prompton Normal school days. It
looked so much like tho one we know
away back In the '70's that wo al
most blurted out, "Why, hello! little
Joe! How's tricks?" But It was
not "little Joe" however, just his
younger brother. Joe, after using
up 30 years of his life In the array
retired on a good monthly pension
and now resides in Portland, Oregon.
We're going to mark this article,
send it out to him, and see if we can
"strike fire" once more.
As to W. H. Ham, he is out in
Los Angeles, California, and finds the
climate so delightful that he prob
ably won't be back to Old Wayne for
a considerable number of days yet to
come.
t
Children's Day will be observed
by the children of tho M. E. Sunday
school on Sunday evening, June 15,

Werner, Elsie and Beatrice Reld,
Florence, Ruth and Edna Cosgrovo,
Arthur and Lavlna Smith, Ruth
Fowler, Alvlne Haggerty, Merietta
Brown, Grace Toms, Symantha Wil
liams, Earl Branning, Earl Wilcox,
George Firemstone, Nils and Ken
neth Falk, Alive Walker, Edna Loll,
and Helen Rice.
The feature of the evening will be
tho building of " The Ladder of Life"
on tho platform. As tho various
rounds of Faith, Repentance, Love,
Perseverance, Service and Offering
are built on the side pieces of God's
Promises and God's Loving Care, the
ontiro structure resting on "Christ,
Our Rock," the Httlo ones will ren
der appropriate songs and recita
tions. The "Laddor" will be capped
with a Crown of Gold, with tho vari
ous points sparkling like jewels as
the result of electric lights used for
realistic effect.
White Mills people will surely fill
the little chapel to overflowing on
Sunday evening last.
X t
The Annual Picnic of tho White
Mills M. E. Sunday school will be
held on July 4. As this is quite an
event in the town, the various com
mittees will make every effort this

From
Woodward's
"Wayne Countean'
Say "potato bugs" to a farmer and
Watch the expression on his face. If
you could turn a cinematograph on it
and catch the expression in its vary
ing shades of impatience and disgust
you would surely make the hit of the
age, and in all human probability add
a good-sized .lump to your bank ac
count. But the expressions on the farmers'
faces are changing nil over Wayne
county since the Murray Company in
troduced Pyrox, the one insecticide
that kills ALL th'o potato bug tribe
yes, the old striped shell-backs na
well as the shiny slags. The writer
of this knows, for he has seen it dono
on his own little farm the past two
seasons. He doesn't have to take
sombeody else's word for it.
But that isn't all : As Pyrox is a
compound of arsenate of lead, Bor
deaux and copper salts, tho mixture
helps the plants and prevents blight.
Pat it right on when the sun shines
hot. It will cling like paint. You
will find traces of it when you dig
yoar "spuds" in the fall.
Neither is that all about Pyrox: If
yon mix a pint of Pyrox with six gal
lons of water and spray your fruit
trees, currant and gooseberry busheB
with it it will not only kill the tent
caterpillars and currant worms, but it
will prevent all fangus disease on the
fruit.
Nor is even that all that Pyrox
will do: If you dip your seed corn in
the mixture, the crows will not touch
it. If they don't know any better
than to eat it, why, it will be mighty
bad for the crows. That's what it will.
Pyrox costs 25 cents for a single
pound; 5 pounds in stone crock, $1;
10 pounds in crock $1,75, and so on up
to a 500 pound cask for $60, if you
want to buy it that way.
If you want arsenate of lead, the
Murray Company sell it at 25 cents a
pound; and, if you actually haven't
got away from Paris green tbey will
sell that to you for 30 cents a pound.
Say, use a GOOD sprayer. The
Murray Company will sell cheap de
vices for from 40 to 50 cents; bat why
don't you go a little higher and get a
Knapsack Sprayer? It will hold 2 gal
lons of spray compound end does its
own work. All you have to do is
walk right along with it and hold the
nozzle where it will do the most good.
It will only cost you $4.50, and with
it you can also spray your fruit trees,
and by simply changing the nozzle
you can wash up that $71.25 buggy
you recently bought of the Murray Co.
tored to White Mills on Friday'last.
They called on Chas. H. Dorfllnger I
and Dr. Gavltte.
Mrs. Edward Dlmmick and her
guest, Mrs. Fowler, spent last Sun
