Engineer A. w. Long of the
state highway department was here
Wednesday and made the supervis-

that the state and the township put
asphalt oil on the Seelyville and

is SEQ a mile, being divided equal
ly. Asphalt oil has solidifying ef-
feet and keeps the macadam from
travelling" in hot, dry weather.

to remain until that 95OO-foot
stretch is completed in October or
November, is firm believer in the
efficacy of asphalt oil, which was
been tried out successfully on many

Between 200 and 800 people,
parishoners of Rev. C. c. Miller,
who on Sunday was installed pastor
of the Lutheran church, Wednesday
evening gathered in the parlors of
the church to shake hands with Mr..
Miller and his wife and boy, whom
they have already learned to es-
TEEN very highly. Miss Roeschlau
played the piano, Miss Annie Rip
pei sang, and Miss Eberhardt, the
church organist, played and sang.
Ice cream and cake were provided
in abundance and it was 10 o'clock
or later when the Millers received
the congratulations of the last bevy
of WellWishers. The committee that
planned the reception had George
Rippel at it's head, but the women
of the church helped the men very
materially, not only with the re-
freshments but also in the work of
arranging the decorations. They
used plenty of ferns and cut flow
ers and the effect was decidedly
pretty. Mr.. Miller admits he likes
Honesdale immensely. Mrs. Miller
and Franklin Miller agree with him
that it is a charming place to live.
