How to Build Up or Tear Down

moro and Estella Brown, both of
Damascus township, this county,
were married by Rev. Henry M.
Cridenwise, who was pastor of the
Methodist church of Honesdale at
that time. They were both natives
of Damascus township, Wayne coun
ty, Mrs. AVhitmore, being a daughter
of Lemuel and Hannah Jane Brown.
From tho above, by a simple mathe
matical process, it may be ascertain
ed, that Tuesday, August 19, 1913,
was the 40 th anniversary of their
marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Whltmore
have always lived in Wayne county,
excepting a short period when they
resided In Susquehanna county.
Their home and its surroundings
would indicate the amount of labor,
thrift and Industry which It cost
this worthy couple to secure for
themselves and their children, one
of the most desirable residences
in Berlin township. Forty years of
continual labor and Industry, should
and did accomplish good results for
Mr. and Mrs. Whltmore. Some years
ago Uncle Sam needed a location for
a postofflce In that part of the coun
ty, and selected Mr. AVhltmore's
house as the most desirable location
and Mr. AVhitmore was made post
master, tne office being designated
by the name of Inglehart: a name
selected by Mr. Whltmore for the
place.
Some days ago. neat Invita
tions wero issued by Mr. and Mrs.
Whltmore, bidding their friends to
join them in a celebration of the 40th
anniverasry of their married life,
to bo held on Tuesday, the 19th of
August, 1913, at 2 o'clock n. m.
Upon that day and hour, relatives,-
menus anu neignbors from a dis
tance and 'from nearby, gathered to
congratulato tho bridegroom and
bride now grown venerable if not
old, and to partake with them of the
bountiful feast which was provided
by the couple for the occasion. Al
most every Invitation was responded
to, and at the hour named, the house
was filled with guests, offering con
gratulations and well wishes to the
host and hostess of tho occasion.
Two children of this marriane. Wal-
ace W. AVhitmore, now of Rockaway
neuun, ana iuinnueu wmtmore, a
daughter, bless tho declining years
of their parents. At four o'p.l nolr
.the guests were seated at the banquet
tauie, on tne lawn, under a canopy,
beautifully decorated, where the
marriage of the couple was again
renewed, though 40 years had elaps
ed since its actual occurrence. Mr.
J. C. Branning, of Narrowsburg, who
intends shortly, to colebr.itn th nnni
anniversary of the marriage of hlm-
seu anu nis good wife, presided.

SHOEMAKERS ILWE BIG
TIME AT LAKE LODORE.
AVednesday was Shoemakers' Day
at Lake Lodore and it was an ideal
day for an outing. Shoemakers,
their' wives, sweethearts and chil
dren, left Honesdale on two special
trains for the lake to spend the day.
The first special train left tho
Delaware & Hudson station at 9:15
a. m. and carried about 150 people
to Lake Lodore. The other left at
1:15 p. m., and It is estimated that
It carried about 400 people. Tho
Maplo City Band accompanied tho
picnickers on the first train to fur
nish music for the dancing at tho
pavilion and the Drum Corps left
here in the afternoon after nararllnir
along tho Main street.
There was no ball camo on ac
count of the inability of the commit
tee to secure the special train from
Carbondale and this undoubtedlv
kept many people away, but as It
was uiere was a very largo crowd
there from Honesdale and the other
towns along the lino of the D. & H.
The committee in charce of selline
tickets reported that 992 excursion
tickets were sold to the lako during
the day.
The general committee in charue
of the picnic was composed of tho
toiiowing men: Chas. Boyd, Theo
dore Herbert, William Hoeflein, Fred
Cory, Duane Lohman, Pefer Sutton,
Daldv Ayers, John TIerney and S.

this, as good citizens, you should unite nnd pull together for tho common
good, and, doing this, you will prosper as a community uuu us juuiviuuu.d.
NO TOWN CAN STAND STILL. IT MUST EITHER GO FORWARD
OR DECLINE, AND IT IS UP TO YOU TO SAY WHICH IT WILL BE.
Knmn towns hustlo and crow-that is, tho people hustlo and tho town
grows. They get the habit of boosting until every citizen becomes ft booster,
nnd pretty soon Its reputation spreads and It becomes known far and wide as
a good town, while otuers lapse into a state oi innocuous utauuvunc-uu

Tho success of tho retail merchant depends on tho patronago or nis uomo
nonnln. tho homo Jobber is largely dependent on the patronage of his homo
retailer, the banks nro dependent likewise on the success of all, whllo tho suc
cess and happiness of the people depend on the success of tho business men.
Now, one of tho greatest injuries you can uo your uomo town or com
munlty to tho business men who aro dependent on your patronago is to order
your goods from mall order houses or patronize merchants in otiier towns.
Every dimo sent from your community to n mail order house Is removed en
tirely from local circulation. Its principal anu interest are uom gone, v,muuaa
tho money spent with tho homo merchant goes immediately Into circulation
and In duo courso comes back to you.
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ANNUALLY ARE BEING SENT TO MAIL
ORDER HOUSES FROM THIS COMMUNITY, THUS DEPRIVING HOME
MERCHANTS OF THEIR RIGHTFUL PATRONAGE.
And yet, no matter how much tho home merchant Is dependent on the
patronage of his homo people, ho is supposed to glyo and to aid In every work
undertaken for tho material betterment of tbo town, nnd he does, belngoftcn
coerced into giving by tho demands of his customers, fearing to offend them
because of tho fear of loss of their patronage.
UNLIKE YOUR HOME MERCHANT, MAIL ORDER HOUSES PAY NO

SCHOOLS, PUBLIC ROAD8, CHARITIES OR ANYTHING ELSE, AND,
ABOVE ALL, THEY GIVE NO EMPLOYMENT TO ANY ONE IN YOUR

You want your schools kept up, your churches supported, your streets kept
In repair, your town properly policed nnd protected by a good fire fighting
equipment, etc. In other words, you want your town to prosper, bo well run
and tho people to bo happy and contented. YET IF YOU ARE SENDING

had been a friend of the family for
muuy years, juc. Mccarty responded
in one of those spontaneous ad
dresses for which he is characteris
tic, spoke of the Importance of tho
occasion. The example set by this
couple who had for more than a
generation, set an example to mar
ried people by their exemplary lives,
and had absolutely proven, though
quietly, peacefully, though eloquent
ly, "that marriace understood. pIvbs
iu uie tenuer ana tne good, a para
dise below." He emphasized tho
fact that occasions of this kind would
necessarily have a good effect upon
uie community, teaching younger
people that the marriage relations
should become moro and more con
genial as time goes on and the par
ties neeu one nnotner more, year by
year. Many beautiful and useful
presents were received by the counle
as a slight expression of the good
wisnes or tnose present.
The occasion as a whole was cer
tainly ono of tho pleasantest which
could possibly be expected, and wo
venturo to say that other venerable
couples of that vicinity will be in
clined to follow Mr. and Mrs. AVhlt
