BIG SURPRISE At FAIR
Announcement of Largest Drawing
Card to be Made SOon-Big
Premiums Offered on Horses,

The management of the Wayne
Agricultural Society has a great big
surprise in store for the patrons of
the coming fair, which will be held
in Honesdale beginning September
80 and ending Thursday, October g..
We are not at liberty to tell our
readers what it will be at present
but will make the announcement in
our next paper. Other attractions,
such as the ocean wave, one of the
latest and safest amusements, the
ever pleasing merry-go-round and
the Ferris Wheel will be on the
grounds.
Along the line of entertainment
the Honesdale Cornet Band, Jenkins
Boy Band, the Maple City Fife and
Drum Corps and the White Mills
Band will discourse music on the
fair grounds the three days of the
fair This will be appreciated by a
number of music lovers and that it
will be a rare treat to the people of
Wayne county, goes without saying
All will endeavor to make the 5Oth
or golden anniversary of the Wayne
county fair the best ever held and
we predict that it will be the larg-
est ever to have been held in dear
old Wayne.
Secretary E. w. Gammell attend
ed the Greene, n. Y, fair last week
and he says the prospects are very
encouraging for a good line of rae
ing horses. Liberal premiums have
been offered for the winners. j. P.
lMcMahon, of Susquehanna, will
again be the starter.
The management of the fair have
increased their premiums on horses,
expecting large display OF the
equine beauties to be made this fall.
No better horses can be found any
where than in Wayne county and
why should they not be displayed at
the fair? The premium on a fine
| match team of horses has been in
creased from $S to $40 and other
horses in proportion. 1t is right and
proper that the display of farm
! horses be encouraged in this manner.
| Every fathers son and the father,
| too, for that matter, ought to enter
his fine team or choice horse at the
coming fair.
The Agricultural Society has de-
cided to hold an automobile parade
on Thursday, October 3, the last day
OF the fair. Two beautiful silver
loving cups will be given as first
prizes. One will be awarded to the
owner for the best trimmed touring
car and another cup for the best
trimmed runabout. Invitations have
been extended to owners of automo.
biles to join the parade and keep uI
the well earned reputation of Wayne
county for doing things right. Fur.
ther information regarding this par.
ade will be announced later.
In the meantime make all ar.
rangements to attend the golden an.
niversary of the Wayne county fair
The attraction which we will men.
tion in our next issue will bring you
your family and your entire neigh,
borhood.

HARVEY BROWN IN ACCIDENT.

Another automobile driver tried
to take off the top of a concrete cul-
vert on Sunday, by running into it
and demolishing his machine. The
accident occurred on the State road
on the way to Bethany. The driver
was Harvey Brown, of Lebanon. He
and three other young friends were
returning home from a visit to
Honesdale. In some manner the
steering wheel turned abruptly from
the roadbed and ran directly into the
culvert guard, which suddenly stop
ped the machine and threw two of
the occupants out. The other two
jumped, thereby possibly saving their
lives. One of the party received a
slash over the ear, which was cut
by particles of flying glass from the
wind shield. Other than that no
one was injured and no bones were
broken.
One of the front wheels OF the
auto was put out of commission,
while the axle of the car was badly
bent. The machine is now in the
Maple City garage for repairs.

Lewis Seelig was present and COM
planned about the waste paper and
other rubbish being scattered on
ground. Street Commissioner Weld
ner stated that boys throw the stuff
over the fence into other lots. The
council instructed Mr.. Weidner to
clean up and burn the loose mater
ial at least once a week.
The council requested The Citizen
TO mention in its columns that the
dumping of poisons in liquid, bulk
or other forms on the town dump
is strictly prohibited. That al
though it is public dumping
ground the council stated that this
is no reason why the people carting
their waste matter up there should
abuse the privilege granted them by
the town. If poisonous substances
are dumped upon the ground they
may be scattered and do injury to
cattle, and the town might be held
responsible for any damages done.
w. H. Kreitner reported for the
committee on the proposed High
street sewer. The officers of the
Park street sewer were interviewed
and Councilman Kreitner stated that
the owners OF that private sewer
offered to sell half or the whole of
the sewer to the borough but would
not allow the borough to tap their
sewer. The price quoted for the
lower half of the sewer was placed
at $500 or the town could obtain
the whole system for 81 100. The
council instructed c. A. McCarty to
inquire into the matter and ascer-
tain whether a private company or
corporation can charge a town an
enormous price for the sale OF its
business when said company or cor
poration never paid a cent to the
town in the way of franchise or
permits for the privilege of digging
up the streets any time and any
where.
The committee on the location of
new lights reported having placed
two lights on West Park street and
on West street.
The council passed two amend
ments to ordinances Nos. 10 and "a,
which are published elsewhere.
Amendment to Ordinance No. 10
raises the license of public amuse-
ment houses outside of exhibitions
given under the auspices and for the
benefit of any local, charitable, re-
ligious, educational, social or bor-
ough improvement association, from
S24 to $50 per year or from 80 to
IS per month. Amendment to Or
dinance No. "a refers to out-of-town
peddlers. 1t will not affect a manu-
facturer from selling his ware or a
farmer from disposing of his pro-
duce upon the streets. The amend
ments and ordinances will be pub
lished in the local papers 10 days
before they can become a borough
law.
The question of paving Main street
was discussed at length. Burgess
