-Brer Rabbit, of Texas township.
strayed into Honesdale a few DAYS
ago to make his acquaintance with
the townspeople. At some if the
places he was treated very courte-
ously, was fed and cared for. At
other places he was given a chase
and poor Prer Rabbit was forced to
Jump here and there through the
streets if Honesdale to keep out of
dangers path. On Sunday he was
on his way tiward church when he
was run down-not by the under
ground trolley road-but a burly
dog, who chased Brer Rabbit until
his little heart went pitty-pat. This
dog, however, lost his scent and gave
up the chase, which was soon taken
up by another dog and Brer Rabbit,
who was now too tired to run, was
caught and after the dog gave him
few shakes Brer Rabbit was dead
L. N. Goodnough, Rileyville,
was pleasant caller at the Citizen
once on Friday last. Mr.. Good
nough mas been a steady reader of
this paper for 45 years, received the
nrst copy of the paper when it chang
ed from the Democrat to The Citi-
zen. Mr.. Goodnough in subscribing
tor ms daughter in California, said
the Citizen would be like a letter
from nome. He is the father of
eight children, all of whom are liv-
ing. Mr.. and Mrs. Goodnough were
married in March, 1866, and are
still enjoying lifes blessings. They
are proud of their children and have
reasons for thinking so. The daugh-
ters, four of whom are married, and
two single, are college girls, having
worked their way to the top of the
ladder and then beyond. One of the
latter is teacher in the East
Stroudsburg Normal. A son of this
venerable couple is located in Cali
tornia and is in the employ of the
Standard Oil Co. Mr.. Goodnough is
good farmer. His apple crop this
year, he claims, is fine and gives his
reason to care and proper cultiva-
ton.
