HawIey's First Post Office.

The writer was told while making
his Tuesday trip about town that the
first post-office that Hawley had was
located at the corner of what is now
known as River street and Wangum
avenue. That must have been when
the first trains on the gravity rail-
road came gathering into town and
when the canal was a new PROPOSE
ton. If anybody. has an older post
office than that, just speak right out
about it, and we'll see that the state
ment has proper place in these col
umns.

The Writer Admits Error.

Now we know! Now we realize
how that cherry tree story; how that
81 cannot tell a lie, father" state
ment; how that "in the name of the
great Jehovah and the Continental
Congress" saying, may not have been
accurately reported and transcribed.
The writer thought he knew all about
that stone chimney of the Ames
Brothers in Hawley. He remembers
when it was built, although he did
not witness the building of it to any
great extent. He does remember,
however, of riding on the gravity
coal cars from Hoadleys to Hawley,
of seeing John Ames at work away
up in the air along side another
man; and, knowing the reputation OF
the Ameses for doing things, he be-
lieved that Mr.. Ames was about all
there was to it. Now, it transpires
that the "other man" was the real
thing, after all. M. j. Hanlan,
Honesdale's attorney, says that the
chimney was built from foundation
stones to the very cap-stones
by his step-father, Francis H. Dill
lon, and that the fine chimney OF
grey Wayne county stone has been
known ever since as "Dillon's Monu-
ment." And now, in fairness, we
must admit that we could and did
make a mistake; and once more we
are reminded of the saying of a wise
and witty old aunt of ours, who put
it in this way: Never boast that you
have found a ducks nest just be-
cause you see a few feathers on 9
rock"

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED


by local appncaJluns, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caus-
ed by an inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

Oh, merrily rang the music,
As folks marched up and down,
In the good old way
I'm patrick'S day.

In the good old way
On Patrick's day,
In Joyous Hawley town.
C7ONDAY was st. Patrick's day
IM in "sweet Hawley under the
@ hills" just the same as it
ISS4EU was in Honesdale and
everywhere else in the
wide, wide world. Nearly everybody
you met wore a sprig of green, and
those who were not "a-wearin' of the
green" wore a lonesome look just as
if they had missed or forgotten some
thing.
The main event in town was the
evening entertainment held in Odd
Fellows hall by members of st. Phil
omena's choir and the Cadets of tenn
perance. The entertainment was of
a social, musical and oratorical char
acter. All of the selections were
along lines pertinent to the day and
decidedly appropriate. The poetical,
romantic, historical, legendary and
musical sides of the land where
grows the shamrock all had their
proper place on the programme, and
the audience was well pleased with
what they saw and heard.
Time was when March II was the
annual occasion for street parade.
We never saw but one or two, yet we
heard about them in our boyhood
days. We don't like to refer to such
things, but in those days there was
not the understanding between ma
tionalities and religious denomina-
tions that happily exists to-day
That was in the days when there
were two prominent classes in both
Honesdale and Hawley, one known
as "railroaders' and the other as
"canalers." There never was any
love between these classes, and il
didn't take much of a remark, or 6
very large "chip on the shoulder" tc
provoke a fight. Indeed, an limo
cent little remark like this: "St
Patrick is just as good a man al
Fourth of July ever was" has beer
known to start things" Everybod!

things than it is to stop them aftel

The last st. Patrick's day paradO
that Hawley had was held severa
years ago, and it is of such memor
able character that a word or tw'
about it will not be out of place her
and now. Hawley arranged for I
grand parade, and societies from
Honesdale and Port Jervis were Il
take part in the demonstration. Thel
the unusual occurred in the nature o
a whopping big snow storm. e. V
Murray, who died three or four year
ago, was then in his prime, and hitch
ing four strong horses to snoy
plow he proceeded to break road
through the streets. Frank Curral
says he rode on the plow and tha
the snow was nearly two feet deer
Furthermore the ride was a col
one. The parade took place all right
and the people had a good time; bu
the custom of parading is giving wa
to celebrations along literary an
musical lines, and it is much pleas
anter to sing and crate about tn

The First National is
A Worth While" " Bank.

The First National Bank of Haw-
lev is an institution that Hawley
people are justly proud of. 1t is now
in its eleventh year, and its growth
has been constant and along sound
financial lines. 1t is capitalized at
$4,000, and it has surplus OF $5O,-
900. It's undivided profits at the
last statement were $16S6.96, while
it's individual deposits are $5ll,-
594.S9. AS the writer understands
it, the fact of the first National
Banks having a surplus equal to its
capital places it in line to be known
in banking circles as an Honor Bank.
No town can possibly have a
stronger asset than first-class, de-
pendable bank. Back of any bank is
not only the capital of its stock
holders, but the character of It's dl-
rectors. Where could be found
better array of names than those
who conduct the destiny of Hawley' $
First National Bank? Here is list

Fresh from a day of rest, the sen ate Monday started off like house afire and kept up the pace, when ad- journment was taken in order that committees could work on the great mass of bills, which had been referred to them.
 Time was not spent in nonsensical bills. for some of the most important of the session were introduced, and several were passed. The morning session was enlivened with little tilt over the resolution by Miles of Pu- lash which provided by joint advis- ory board of five members from house and senate, to consider bills recom- mended by the retiring governor, and recommendations of the Incoming and bring them properly before the general assembly. The resolution enumerated the corrupt practice act, and election law, and several other measures of like importance. The resolution failed of adoption on ris- ing vote, ten standing on each side. President Oldham then called for 8 roll call to place the senator's on rec ord and the resolution was adopted, 23 to 10.

 Since the election of Gov Robinson another field of political activity has opened up. It is not expected that Mir Robinson will resign before April and it is not thought that a state primary will be called before he resigns, in which case there will be an interim between the resignation of the gov ernor and the election of a new. The office will be filled by q lieutenant governor who will be president of the senate pro tenn. Already many sena- tors are being mentiond for this honor.

 The Hon. stephen Brundidge one of the defeated candidates for U s. sen ator made the following statement af- the senatorship had been settled:
 ITO the people of the state of Ark ansas: During my life long service and connection with the Democratic party of this state, have never made race for office that I did not submit my claims to the Democratic voters. and have always cheerfully abided by their decision. For this reason, 1 most earnestly desired that the legislature now in session should submit to the people the right to say who should go to the senate from this state. When 1 found that I was unable to get pri- mary election on account of the pub lished opposition of the present gov ernor, I then made but one effort and that was to thoroughly find out the sentiment of the people as to whom they preferred for senator and have them make their wishes and desires known to their senators and represen- tatives. l have in my possession in disputable evidence from practically every county in the state, and from the
