The citizens of Honesdale, al
well as the members of Company E
Thirteenth Regiment, deserve tn,
congratulations of the entire Guard
upon the near completion of thei
substantial new Armory. While built
ings for the State troops have beel
erected in comparatively large mum
bers throughout Pennsylvania dur
ing recent years, thanks chiefly t.
the energy and general progressive
ness of the State Armory Board, ye
seldom has there been a case il
which soldiers and civilians workel
hand and glove for a common puT
pose as did the men of Company
and Honesdale residents to secur
the new structure. This splendi
spirit is worthy of the highest com
mendation, for without public SUP
port and sympathy in the cause o
the National Guard, the State SCI
vice would meet with an earl
death. The Guard lives to-day, an
is the great potent factor it is, large
ly because the great mass of Penn
sylvanians believe in this institutio
and cherish it, The co-operatio
so we'll demonstrated at Honesdal
is a splendid example of patriotic dc
votion to the commonwealth, worth
of the highest praise.-Our STATE
Army and Navy.
