GOVERNOR TENER's
THANKSGIVING CALL.

Governor John X. Tener's official
Thanksgiving day proclamation was
issued Wednesday. In keeping with
the presidents proclamation on the
subject he fixes Thursday, November
rs, as the day. He says: THE peo-
pie of our state and nation have
many things for which to be thank
full. Living in an age of invention,
surrounded with unusual resources,
with no problem of the unemployed
to solve, the people have enjoyed
greater safety and comfort, and
higher social and intellectual privi-
leges, than have fallen to a lot of
men in any previous age of the
world
There are number of things in
which Pennsylvania in particular
has been fortunate. Sheltered by
hundred hills and watered by numer-
Gus lakes and rivers, our state is fill
ed with the picturesque and beauti-
full; yet this diversity has resulted in
other advantages. Frost, fire and
flood seldom affect Jus adversely.
Even financial depressions lose their
force with us because of the variety
of our interests and when the ma
tion has passed through such afflic-
tions, we have been quick to recov-
er.
During the year just passed,
Pennsylvania has had no great ca
lamities and no industrial disturb
ances; her philanthropic and finan-
cial institutions have flourished; her
rural and urban communities have
been unusually free from the scourge
of disease, and her overflowing har-
vests presage a period of unrivaled
prosperity.
1T is natural and proper for all
right minded people to be filled with
a spirit of thankfulness. 1t has been
customary to set aside one day of the
year for the purpose of giving ex-
preston to this feeling"

HAWLEY MAN SHOOTS FIVE
PRONGED DEER,

Edward Brehn, Sr., one of Haw-
ley's electricians, is the proud pos
SCISSOR of a fine five-pronged buck.
The deer weighs 200 pounds and is
one of the finest killed this season.
Mr.. Brehn was on the Curtis
place and before he had been there
any length of time a fine, majestic
fieet-footed deer put in appearance.
Mr.. Breha always was. a good marks
man and II ever he needed his nerve
it was now. My, what a fine fellow
he was. Crack went the rifle. The
buck fell in his tracks. 1t required
but one shot. Mr.. Brehn, his
friends, and the editor did you say?
are whetting their appetites for fine
steaks of venison.

HONESDALE'S FREE LIBRARY
OPENS TUESDAY
Hours Are From 3 to and = TO .
+. M.-Open Also on Friday
Public Urged to support it
Ry Presence

The Honesdale Free Library!
What is it! Why is it?
The townsman, if he ever thinks
of it at all remembers vaguely that
there is such a thing but that 1t
holds itself aloof, wrapped in awful
mystery. 1t is not a concrete reality,
hence these words of explanation.
There is a free library in Homes
dale-found on the first floor of the
High school building. Its main OBJ
ject is to inspire every one with an
incentive for real reading. BY that
is meant not the kind that we do un-
der pressure, our thoughts resisting
to concentrate nor yet the superb
cial variety known, best to us per-
maps through certain magazines
which hold our attention for the mo-
ment and leave us with a rueful con-
seriousness of absolutely wasted time
but the sort of reading we truly
like, a keen enjoyment while it
lasts and pleasant memory after
wards.
There is to be found in your IL
brary books on all subjects-so you
are sure of satisfaction. There are
some 60 volumes of bound maga-
zines, 20 covering subjects of philo-
sophy, ethics, religion, etc, 20 on
the live subject of economics and
sociology, about so scientific works
covering all the sciences, 220 on the
Arts including Music, Poetry, Liter
ature, Drama, Art, etc. In biogra-
phies about 17S volumes may be
found, in histories some 225, books
of travel about 95 and in fiction
about $50 volumes, and 500 Govern
ment Reports, making a total of
about 1880 books.
Everyone is asked and urged to
show their loyalty to their own town
by helping support this growing in
stitution-support it by your pres
ence and active interest. The Lii
brary is open every Tuesday and
Friday from 3 to and to p. m.

HAVENS co. PUSHING ELEVATOR
PLANT
Pattern Building First to Receive
Koof-BriCklayers are Hustling-
building All Above Ground.

The new Gurney Electric Elevator
works at this place is beginning to
take on the aspect of a large manu-
facturing plant. Bricklayers are
working on walls which are all above
ground. With the increased force
1t is expected to have the walls ready
for the structural steel work in a
short time. Seventeen carloads of
brick is expected from Mechanice-
burg this week.
The failure to receive the steel
columns has set that part of the
work back. The steel sash how
ever, has been set in the main shop
building. The pattern vault will be
the first part of the series of build
ings on the site that will receive its
roof. Preparations are being made
to place concrete roof thereon
within a few days. The false struc-
ture is now being framed.
The Warren Ehret company, Of
Philadelphia, has the contract to
roof the buildings, which will con-
slst OF tar paper, covered with Stag.
The eastern part of the main shop
will have three bays Of saw-teeth
glass roof, each bay measuring 20
feet wide and extending the entire
length of the shop.
A switch is being built from the
main track of the Delaware and
Hudson yard into the factory prop
er. The work of cutting down the
old tow path and getting down to a
grade is now being done. The dirt
is drawn to the extreme southern
end of the site where it is used for
filling in.

HANLAN NOT THE
AUTHOR OF LETTER.
To the Editor OF The Citizen:
Dear Sir.

To the Editor OF The Citizen:
Dear Sir
A letter of which the following is
a copy is being circulated in Wayne
county:
NJ. j. Hanlan, Supreme Auditor of
the American Fraternal Association,
at the time of the auditing of the
accounts of that association, saw
fit to write of Mr.. Wasman's ac-
counts and work, as follows:
Have made a thorough and
careful examination of the books,
records, vouchers and receipts of
the monies received by the associa-
tion, and the monies paid out, and
have carefully compared all the en-
tries on the records of the associa-
tion, and have verified same by the
receipts and vouchers held by the
Supreme Secretary, and find that the
funds of the association are collect
ed and distributed in accordance
with the laws governing the same,
as expressed in the Constitution and
Bylaws and feel that it is due to
the Supreme Secretary to say, that
the records of the Association are
kept in a thorough manner. That
the system in use by him in keep
ing the records, accounts, receipts
and vouchers of the association
meets with our approval"
NJ. j. HANLAN,
Supreme Secretary.
| do not wish to have it under
stood that l am the author of the
above letter or have been instru-
mental in circulating it, When the
American Fraternal Association was
organized E. A. De Laney, Esq, of
Carbondale, and myself were told
that we had been appointed Supreme
Auditors of that organization. We
audited the books of the association
in January, 1908, and again in jan
uary, 1903, and found the accounts
correct. We signed a form which
had been prepared and of which l
presume the above is a copy. We
were not called upon to audit the
books since that time. The
transfer is said to have been made
in the fall of 1909 and l had no
knowledge of it until it had been
consummated.
Yours truly,
NJ. j. HANLAN.

BUCK KILLIAM DIDN'T KILL EN-

Buck Killiam, one of Hawley's
crack shots, went cunning a few
days ago. After being in the woods
a short time he heard his trusty dog
barking Justify. Going in the direc-
tion from whence came the repeated
barks Mr.. Killam was encountered
by large catamount. The ferocious
wild cat jumped for the dog, but the
latter being good dodger managed
to keep his distance. Seeing the
green eyes of the catamount, as they
were cast upon him, Mr.. Killiam shot
wild, but hit the cat. The cat re-
treated and took to the woods, dis
appearing in a ledge. This is an
instance when Buck Killiam didn't
kill 'em.

ter claimed that women were entitled
to vote under the state constitution
OF l776 and that this right had been
Improperly taken away by the con-

The Scranton Times beat the
Truth OF that city at their own
game. The Truth management an
nounced on Saturday last how f. O..
Weeks would distribute over the
city and mid-valley by aeroplane its
Monday edition. The day proved to
be unsatisfactory to make a flight
and it was therefore indefinitely
postponed. The Scranton Times,
alert to the situation, made arrange
ments with Aviator Weeks to dis
tribute copies OF that paper over the
city and adjoining places, thereby
claiming the honor OF delivering the
first papers by aeroplane in the hi1-
tory OF the city. Around each copy
OF The Times was a printed wrapper
explaining to the recipient that 81
awaited him upon presentation of
the paper at the Times office. This
is what we term enterprise in jour
nalism. Who can tell how soon be-
fore Honesdale may receive papers
