"A bill introduced by Representative
Fuerth, to increase the pay ofconstables
while in attendance at court from So to
$3.50 day, passed the House Tuesday.
Rev. J. B. Cody, of Bethany, writes
us that the most important poultry meet
ing ever held in Wayne county, will take
place on Wednesday, April 14th, in the
Court House. ]. H. Wolsifer, one of the
most expert poultrymen of New Jersey
will, be present. In the afternoon he
will give an address on incubation
and Brooding." In the evening he will
speak on "Winter Eggs and How to Get
Them" No person interested in the
raising of poultry that can possibly be
present, should miss being there. Mr..
Wolsifer is breeder of high class poul-
try, and does no growing, but sticks to
his text, and proves that "Biddy is one
of the most important business propo-
sitions in the United States. The poul-
try women of the county are especially
urged to be present. Do not forget the
date, April 18th first address at 2;30 P.
M, second at 8 P. M.
Deputy Sheriff N. B. Spencer, as
sisted by Constable Denk, of Waymart,
took Herbert Vail, of Farview, in custo-
dy on Wednesday, charged with the
robbery of the Varcoe store at Way
mart, on Sunday night last. Vail made
confession of his own guilt and inn
plicated others, who were soon after
ward arrested by Mr.. Spencer, and
brought to Honesdale on the four O'Clock
train. Further particulars will be given
in next Wednesdays issue of THE CITI.
ZEN.
We call your attention to the ad. o.
the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Co. in this issue of The CITIZEN. Il
shows very clearly that this old reliable
company is making great headway ir
the insurance world and that it will pay
all intending insurers to investigate tht
merits of this large company before
placing their insurance. w. c. Knapp
of Hawley, Pa, will be glad to call OF
you and explain the merits of the new
policy the company is now selling.
On Wednesday evening last, S. p
Quicks' sawmills, in Mt. Pleasant town
ship, one mile east of Pleasant Mt. vii
lage were destroyed by fire. Nothin!
could be done to check the flames ant
the entire plant was consumed. involving
loss of S. 200 with no insurance. Ow
ing to the high wind which prevailed a
the time of the fire other property in tn,
vicinity was endangered, but fortunately
the loss was confined to the mills.
The Easter displays in our shol
windows are unusually attractive thi
season. The large establishments lik,
Menner & Co.'s and Katz Brothers, ar
making most artistic and tempting dis
plays, while the millinery stores have ,
genuine Partisan appearance. A fin
show of blooming potted plants ant
flowers is made at Helferich's, and Mis-
Carrie Smiths daintily decorated store
windows opposite the Lyric are attract
ing much attention. The confectionery
and other stores dealing in Easter toys
candies and cards are exhibiting a be
wildering variety of goods in that line.
The very high winds that prevaile,
throughout the country on Wednesday al
ternoon and night, causing many death
and wide destruction of property, di,
considerable damage in this county, tn
details of which have not reached us W
to the hour of going to press. ANON
other losses we hear of the blowing dow
of Megivern barn at Whites Valley
and the twisting out of shape of a wind
mill on the store building of Judsol
Faatz in Bethany.
