POCONO DISTILLING COMPANY
IN BANKRUPTCY.

Three creditors of the Pocono Dis
tilling company, with headquarters in
Scranton, the first of the week filed a
petition in the United States court
asking that the company be declared
bankrupt. The petitioners are Lach-
man & Jacobs and the American Dis
tilling company, of New York, and
Fred c. White, of Hawley. They al
lege that they are owed over $4,000
and that several acts of bankruptcy
have been committed by the allegeu
insolvent company. j. S. Brown of
this place holds eighteen shares of
this stock.
The first named creditors set
forth that they have provable claims
,of $272 against the Pocono Distilling
company, the next named alleged
they are owed $2,702, while the
third names $272 as the amount OF
his debt. In the statement filed it is
said that the company committed
acts of bankruptcy in paying some
creditors in full and allowing judg-
ment to be entered against them in
the Lackawanna county court in ia
vor of E. G. Lyons. A hearing will
be held December 80. A. V. Bower
represents the petitioners.

LOOK OUT FOR HER.

1t has been learned that woman
has been going about the boroughs
and selling subscriptions for the Nc
Call Magazine with a free pattern
for 80 cents and then telling those
who paid her the money that the
magazine and the pattern could be
had by calling at the Wallace De-
partment store.
There has been no arrangement of
this kind made with the Wallace
store and of course those who have
contributed their 35 cents must
look elsewhere for the magazine and
pattern. 1t looks as though some
one was being hooked" and it would
be well to be a bit careful before
giving subscriptions for magazines.
There are plenty of local accredited
agents for about all the magazines
that are published and there will be
no chance of being caught.-Monroe

EAST HONESDALE RESIDENT
NEARLY RUN DOWN BY AUTO
DIM LIGHTS AND LOSS OF CON-
TROL HAS BEEN GIVEN AS
THE REASON.

Accident Occurred on Old Glass
Factory Site Bridge Tuesday Eve
ning-Car Grazed G.. NJ. Coulter
Who Came Near Being Killed.
C. M. Coulter, a resident of East
Honesdale, narrowly escaped injur-
les last Tuesday evening about 7
o'clock by being nearly run down by
a southbound automobile. The ac-
cident occurred near the old glass
factory bridge at the outlet of Car
ley Brook. Mr.. Coulter was coming
to Honesdale and was walking along
the side of the road. A short dis
tance ahead of him he saw a dimly
lighted automobile. 1t was coming
directly toward him. He stepped
close to the fence along the road,
thinking that the car would turn out
and pass him safely. The car crowd
ed the fence and then Mr.. Coulter
called to the operator. The man
driving the car evidently did not
hear Mr.. Coulter's outcry as he con-
tinued on the same side of the road
as was Mr.. Coulter. In passing him
the mud guards struck the pedes-
trian, and the car struck the bridge,
causing the machine to stop. The
force turned the car across the road.
An effort was made upon the part of
the driver who was from Narrows-
burg way, to continue his journey,
but he was unable to owing to a
broken axle.
Had the automobile been six in
ches nearer Mr.. Coulter it might have
killed him instantly or disabled him
for life. 1t is estimated that the car
was running 25 miles per hour.

There will be a convention and
Fruit exhibit held under the auspices
. bf the Wayne County Horticultural
Society in January, the date and
Speakers being undecided at this
lime Arrangements for gathering
bf farmers were made at a meeting
pf the executive committee held
"Wednesday afternoon in the grand
Jury room of the court house. Those
present were Dan w. Hull, of
Waymart, president of the Horticul-
tural Society; ]. P. Warwick, Mar
fowsburg, vice-president; w. E. Per-
Nam, Niagara, vice-president; T. B.
CLARK, Honesdale, vice-president;
GILES Earl Schenck, Honesdale, sec
Fetary.
1t is the plan and purpose of the
Horticultural Society to make Wayne
county the banner fruit raising CEN
ter of the group of counties in North
eastern Pennsylvania. This can be
8done without much difficulty, owing
to the fact that the soil is especially
adapted to raising apples, pears,
peaches and other fruits By prun-
hing, spraying and fertilization the
present crops of Wayne county or
chards could be increased many fold.
The farmers and orchardists of
Wayne county are awakening to the
fact that there is considerable mon
ley lying undeveloped on the hills of
dear old Wayne. The Wayne Horti-
cultural Society has number of
live, wideawake farmers and sue
cessful, progressive and prosperous
orchardists who are deeply interest
led in the future welfare of Wayne
county. There has been several
hundred new trees set out during the
past year, that in course of a few
years will be bearing luscious fruit.
Peach and apple trees are the fav-
ored fruit and consequently more of
these trees have been planted.
w. J. Lewis. of Pittston, who is
considered to be one of the best ap-
ple growers and authority on fruit
growing, is deeply interested in the
future development of Wayne county.

secure good jobs for all those engag-

against intemperance declared that

were worse than the thief that stole
his watch while he was on a recent
visit to New York.
The bartenders on resolution
voted that the offer was not worthy
of their consideration. A number
had previously expressed an inten-
