Slight frosts visited the higher
lands in this locality Thursday
night.
Miss Ruth Rupert, on Sunday
last had the second toe of her right
foot amputated by DR.. Ely. 1t
is what is called a hammer toe."
On Saturday the Honesdale
High school base ball team defeated
the Bethany team at the latter place
by the score of II to 6.
Still the sweet slumbers of the
six o'clock snoozer succumb to the
shrieks of the soul-startling syren.
Surely, tbs sad.
Sunday was a cool, beautiful
day, and Honesdale had many visi-
tors. One gentleman tells us that
he counted 5S strange automobiles
on Main street

Bank, at its semi-annual meeting,
last week, declared a semi-annual
dividend of II per cent. and placed
$4,000 in the surplus fund.
A report is in circulation that
the Standard Oil Co. is about to
make butter out of the refuse of
crude oil. That would not be nice,
but undoubtedly an Improvement
upon the average oleomargarine.
1t is reported that Albert L..
Fritz, supervisor of the Jefferson
division of the Erie, is to be trans
ferred to Jersey City, and that
Charles Madill, of that place, will
succeed Mr.. Fritz.
The Milford Press says that
the application of "glutein" to the
streets of that borough has proven
great blessing in laying dust.

smooth. We shall have to read up

A travelling salesman for a
prominent New York house, inform
ed us, yesterday, that the price of all
ready-made clothing would, next
spring, be advanced from 10 to 10
per cent. Whew! that hits us
hard.
1t is said that there is dissatis-
faction in some quarters, that the
officers of the 18th Regiment rode
to Mt. Gretna in Pullman coaches
while the privates were crowded
into "dinkey cars" What's the use
of being an officer if you can't have
the best?
The Eries roll of honor for

Mr.. w. w. Wood, Jr., who left

Don't let the Home Coming
.WeeA slip your mind. The princi-

friends, who ever lived here, about
it, and have them come home" and

How to get rid OF ants on a
lawn" read a Church street young
lady to her chum, last evening
Wonder how they do that" 81
know how we did it," was the re-
sponse. 1--WE just didn't invite her
here, this summer. Last year we
girls never could have a gentleman
caller, that she wasn't sticking
around"
We wouldn't really enjoy hav'
ing been any one of the three
prominent Scranton women who
were judges at the Times baby
Fhow at Luna Park last Thursday
There were 1910 smiling (?)
infants on exhibition and there were
but thirty prizes to disburse. Thinl
OF the scathing, indignant anathe

lido such thinRs.
