LOCAL MENTION.

New York potatoes are selling in five
bushel lots in Port Jervis for 80 cents q
bushel.
George A. Smith, former Prothon-
Otary of Wayne county, is now engaged
In business in Archibald, that of crushing
and quarrying sandstone for road and
building purposes. He still maintains
his residence in Hawley, where he votes.
The Hawley Glass Co. have put in
operation their No. 2 factory, which will
give employment to large number of
men and boys, who receive good wages.
This will put goodly sum of money in
circulation in our neighboring borough.
Adam Mehaloski, hotel keeper of
dickson City, Lack. county, while hunt
ing in the woods, near Hollisterville,
Nov. 9th, received a stroke of paralysis.
A physician was called who did what he
could for the suffering man, and he was
taken to his home, where he died soon
after his arrival. He leaves widow.
Samuel Katz, who recently retired
from the firm of Katz Brothers, with
which he had been associated for thirty
years, has leased the second story of the
Liberty Hall building, corner of Main
and Ninth streets, and will start new
plant for the manufacture of white goods,
as soon as the necessary machinery can
be installed. AS industries of this kind
give employment to our surplus labor,
and bring large sums of money to the
town from outside sources where the
product finds a market, they are deserv-
ing of warm welcome. Watch Homes

The Texas, No. 1, Fire Company's
reception and entertainment on Monday
evening of last week proved to be most
profitable as well as enjoyable affair, the
net proceeds aggregating nearly $3.50.
No. is one of the best equipped and
thoroughly efficient fire organizations
ever established here. The members
are all of fine physique their ap-
pearance on parade is as attractive as
their services when engaged in fire fight
ing is effective; their apparatus thor
oughly up-to-date. and their new build
ing, commodious two story and base
ment structure, creditable alike to the
skill of architect Weaver and the enter
prise and good judgment of the COM
pany.
Patrons of the Theatorium and Nickel
ette need have no fears that they will be
shown moving pictures which they have
already seen, at those popular places of
entertainment. Although entirely diff
ferent programs are given every other
night at both places, there is no danger
of the supply of novelties being exhaust
ed. Manager Freeman has list of all
the moving pictures shown in Honesdale
since the shows were opened here. This
list is made in duplicate, and one copy
forwarded to the manufacturers, thus
keeping them posted on what has been
duplication of the pictures. This is one
reason why the exhibitions at the Thea
torium and Nickelette are always up-to-
date. And they will be just as good to-
night and tomorrow night, and next
week, as they have been at any time in
the past.
1t is not too late for THE CITIZEN to
commend the general good behavior of
our young people on Halloween. The
good advice given the boys and girls by
the town papers previous to that festi-
val was evidently well received, for the
night passed off in very genteel-like
manner, and our young folks are to be
credited with conducting themselves in
every way like ladies and gentlemen. OF
course there was the usual ringing of
door bells, and throwing of corn and
cabbage, and similar harmless pranks,
but not single instance of destruction
OF property, or unwarrantable depreda-
ton of any kind, has come to the knowl-
edge of the writer. Innocent and harm
less amusements on Halloween should
not be curtailed in any way, and young
people are naturally expected to enjoy
themselves to the utmost. 1t is only
whenfun degenerates into rowdyism that
older and more staid people protest.
