HAWLEY, Pa, March 14.-F. j.
Denison returned home Thursday
from Hancock, N. Y, where he at
tended the funeral of his friend,
Thomas Keery Mr. Keery died in
New York where he was preparing
for trip with his family to Ber-
muda. He was president of the First
National Bank of Hancock and also
engaged in the manufacturing of
wood acid Mr.. Denison moved from
Hancock to Hawley recently. He
owns a saw-mill and planning mill at
Hancock. He says that he is max
ing an effort to dispose of these prop
critics but if not sold in a short time
he will move them to Hawley.
The worthy scribe of the Independ-
ent on his pedestrial trip through
Hawley and describing some of the
older business establishment of the
town evidently turned and wended
his way down Keystone street. Had
he proceeded North on Main avenue
he would have found many young
businesses lately started by some of
our energetic and enterprising young
men. On the left corner he could
have seen in the old store building
where the late Charles Taft kept a
general store for many years and lat
er occupied by Lot Atkinson, also de-
ceased, for a hardware store. This
three-year-old business is conducted
by George S. Thompson who carries
fine stock of groceries and whose
delivery wagon is seen leaving the
store twice day.
On the opposite corner in the
Ames store building, lately fitted up
with complete glass front, is young
Joseph Skier who not many years ago
travelled from house to house with a
pack on his back. His business is
seven years old. He handles cloth
ing. A little farther on is the jew
elry store of Harry Ludwig and Ray
Baislen two young men who launch
ed into the business only three weeks
ago. They purchased the stock of
Carl Obesle who did business there
several years. They have renovated
the room and goods in such fine or
der that the place is hardly recog-
nized and are now ready to serve
the customer. Next corner Ed.
TreuX, a young man formerly from
Peckville, who purchased the barber
shop of c. S. Schardt and took pos
session on March 1. He expects to
do good business; also Peter Unger
who has been an efficient clerk for
Thomas Mangan for several years,
but recently purchased the business
of Harry J. Lobb. He will resign his
present position on April l and de-
vote his entire time to that business.
His sister, Barbara, now has charge.
And he also could have seen on
this avenue the Hawley Bank, a two
months old institution with it's flag
lifted to the breeze ond it's doors
open for business from 8 a. m. to 3
p. m.
We were delighted in reading Mr..
Woodward's glowing description of
Sweet Hawley," also his prophecy
that the hillsides would be dotted
with cottages, ETC., and of its produc-
tion of priests and III widows, it's
beautiful hills and all of these things.
To read thus of Hawley one feels like
wishing-that when l die if l can't
get to heaven that l may at least get
as far as Hawley.
The Town Council met last Monday
evening and organized for the year

H. Kearney president; E. j. Richard

Conkling, and Louis Geisler; ordi-
nance, A. ]. Kerber and G. P. Well.
Sunday evening, in the Methodist
church, Rev. B. P. Ripley delivered
a sermon to the Odd Fellows Frater-
nifty and Order of the Rebekahs, on
Friendship and True Brotherliness."
The Orders were we'll represented.
The pastors discourse was intensely
interesting and commanded the clos
est attention throughout. He spoke
of the great need of the principles
of Odd Fellowship being lived up to
in our daily intercourse with one an
other, and that true friendship and
| love is spiritual. One could not
imagine a church without these vir-
/ tues which tend to bring one into
fellowship with Christ who said
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self" The music for the evening was
fine. Miss Mae Killam sang a SOLO
which was greatly appreciated.
Peter Cron has moved from Tafton
into one of OConner's houses at the
Eddy.
On March 80 the Ladies' Aid of
the German Lutheran church will
hold "Koffee Klotsch" in the base
ment of the church. All are invited
to attend.
