Especial TO me Citizen. |

HAWLEY, Pa, April 25.-A
mothers meeting was organized in
the Auditorium of the High school
building Friday afternoon and the
following officers chosen: President,
Mrs. II. j. Atkinson; vice-president,
Mrs Rudolf Lucas; secretary and
treasurer, Mrs. G. T. Rodman. The
work of each grade was arranged
on a blackboard and elected much
praise from the visitors. A short
program had been arranged. The
principal speakers were Mrs. A. X.
Killam and DR.. Russell Wall. The
former spoke from seven years ex-
perience as teacher in seminary and
graded school work. Her we'll
written paper contained many valu-
able points of interest to teachers
and parents, urging upon the latter
the necessity of visiting the schools
more frequently and coming in closer
touch with the teacher of their chill
dren. DR.. Wall, fresh from his
European studies, talked on that
important subject, Tuberculosis"
and what his profession is doing to
stamp it out of existence and how
much parents and people in gen.
eral can do to bring this about. He
stated that 95 per cent. of the chill
dren in Vienna and large cities in
this country are affected with this
disease which is highly contagious
but not hereditary, and not as prevail
ent among children living in the
country. Fresh air the chief cure.
Professor Greasy closed the session
with a brief talk, making many hui
morous remarks as well as giving
wholesome advice to an attentive
audience of so people. The speak
ing was interspersed with a vocal
solo by Miss Freed and piano solo
by Miss Westbrook. The faculty and
pupils served dainty refreshments
then. Noting the enchanting view
from the windows and the attrac-
tive room decorations with such
environments study must be con-
sidered very pleasant pastime.
Mrs. X. Branning, White Mills, is
spending the week with her son, ID.
j. Branning, and family on Spring
street.
Mrs. d. Bingham was in the Elec-
trio City over Sunday.
Mrs. S. c. Bortree and grand
daughter, Allen Bortree, Ariel, were
mid-week visitors of friends in town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Posten r. Cross,
Shohola, spent Sunday here with
their sons.
George Dunn and son, Thomas,
went over to Beach Lake during the
week to angle for trout, but streams
were too high. Instead of the
speckled beauties they brought home
a fine mess of cells.
NJ. G.. Noble, Calkins, was doing

F. A. Jenkins, Honesdale, has
opened music store in the John
Ames store building. This room was
formerly occupied by the late C. H.
Woodward for grocery store.
Florence Shook has moved from

About thirty Italian laborers were
brought last week from the valley to
work at Wilsonvlle. They are at
present employed digging and level
ing for the railroad which will ex-
tend from the Eddy to the lumber
camp at Wilsonville. A misunder-
standing among themselves or with
their foreman, who is one of their
own people, caused a number to
quit work and return to Scranton.
But the work is going on as more
came over to take their places.
The remaining solid foundations
and the well-laid cellar-walls with
the many large cellar bottoms flag
ged with solid stone indicate that
what used to be Nolantown on the
hill, a short distance from Hawley,
must have been busy little place.
Mr.. Nolan several years ago erected
buildings and started knitting mills
at this place and was sparing no ex-
pense to make a we'll laid out village
by laying sidewalks, planting trees,
etc. He run a~store, a butcher shop,
a saloon and had a postoffice estab-
lished at the place, for convenience
Six years ago Mr.. Nolan's buildings
and all contents were destroyed by
lire, he being a heavy loser and dis
heartened he went to California.
This spring he has returned and is
starting up anew at the same place.
He has erected a temporary building
IN which he is now running fourteen
knitting frames. And so enterprises
are bound to come Hawleyward.
Edward Goldback, who conducts
a shoe store on Main avenue, has
taken into partnership John C. PEN
nell, who has been a faithful en-
ployee for some time. The business
will now be conducted under the
firm name of Goldback & Pennell.
