WAYMART WOMAN
SHOOTS RABBITS.

Even Though Her Husband Did Not
Get a Deer or Bear While Hunt
ing in Pike county, She Got Bum
nies.
Some time ago it was reported
in a Scranton newspaper that a
Lackawanna county woman was the
only woman hunter in the North
eastern tier of counties. We
thought so at that time but since
then proof has been obtained that
skaters the truth of the newspa-
per story. Wayne county has
woman hunter, perhaps more, but at
least one real hunter who brings
back not only the gun but rabbits
and birds.
That woman is Mrs. ]. B. Dymond
of Waymart, and a better shot will
| be hard to find in that vicinity.
| Last week Mr.. and Mrs. Dymond,
/ accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. L. A.
| Dymond, of Wilkes-Barre; Mr.. and
Mrs. James Davis of Wilkes-Barre,
and Mrs. Edward Husband of Ed
wardsville, went to Greeley Lake,
Pike county, and made their head
quarters at Greeley Lake Inn.
They spent the week in hunting in
the woods and while the men were
tracking deer the women went af-
ter the smaller game and were sue
cessful in bagging ten bunnies and
| other small game. The men did not
get any deer but had the pleasure
of seeing a deer and a 400-pound
bear brought in to the hotel while
they were there. The successful
hunter was fellow guest at the
Inn. Mr.. Dymond said that resi-
dents there estimated that at least
two hundred hunters were in the
woods last week, but that he did
not hear more than two or three
shots during the weeks hunting
trip through the dense woods. The
party returned home Saturday.
Diphtheria Epidemic Threatens.
The borough of Waymart is threat
ened with an epidemic of diphtheria
and the schools have been closed for
the week. There were no church
services in any of the churches on
Sunday while a thorough fumi gati
of all public places is being institut-
ed.
Anti-toxin is being used in all the
cases.
AS a result of the disease, which
has griped the borough, one child,
Lucretia Davis, the seven-year-old'
daughter of Calvin Davis, is dead
The burial took place last Friday,
two others in the borough are i'll
and two just outside in Clinton
| township are down with the dis
ease. Mildred Stephenson, daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. O.. H. stephen
son, is seriously i'll with what is
called black diphtheria, and she is
being attended by DR.. McCafferty.
Fred Davis, aged IA, a brother of
Lucretia Davis, is i'll and is being
attended by DR.. Bangs of South Ca.
naan. II is reported that one or
two others who were exposed are
being watched carefully by the ply
sicians. Two children of Grant
White in Clinton are also reported
as having the disease. DR.. L. B.
Nielsen, county medical inspector of
Honesdale, went out on Monday and
instituted a strict quarantine.
r. S. Bates, head OF the borough
health board, has had all places
quarantined and is doing all he can
| to prevent the spread of the dis
ease. 1t is thought that the diph-
iberia came originally from South
Sduddu' n young DOy Cdn0 IrOm
there to attend school and was TAX
en- sick while in the Waymart
school. That was about a month
ago and he has recovered. 1t is
thought that many of the school
children were exposed at that time.
Waymart's Big business Boom.
The slump in business that is be-
ing felt in many parts of the country
is not bothering people and mer-
chants of Waymart. One merchant
remarked to representative of
The Citizen this week that business
had never been better than at the
present time. The Waymart Knit
ting Mill is running full time with
orders to last several months and
the glass factory is also working to
capacity. The borough is just now
experiencing a building boom, there
being at least a half dozen new
| houses under construction and al
most completed and several more
/ just getting under way. A new
house is being erected by H. B.
Stanton above the cutting shop and
the foundation has been laid for a
new house by F. r. Varcoe.
