A WORTHY STAND.

Rev, Wendell, pastor of the Homes

cided stand against the divorce evil.
He has announced his decision to re-
fuse to remarry any divorced per-
sons. 1t will make no difference
whether or not the persons wishing
to marry enjoy the acquaintance of
the minister. 1t will make no diff
ference if it be a man or woman, or
on what grounds the divorce was OBJ

The decision of the Baptist minis

WERE MARRIED
SATURDAY EVENING

Miss Grace NJ. Wilmarth, of Alden
vile, sister of Mrs. F. II. Crago,
of this place, was united in marriage
to Mr.. William B. Gray, of Homes
dale, at the parsonage of the Metho-
dist church at eight o'clock Saturday
evening.
Rev. Will H. Hitler performed the
ceremony in the presence of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. H. Crago and afterwards a
reception was held for the newly
married couple at the Crago home on
West street.
Mr. Gray is well and favorably
known here, having been a son of
Virgil Gray, late of Beachlake. He
is employed as a glass cutter here.
Miss Wilmarth is one of Aldenville's
most popular young ladies. They
will make their home in Honesdale.

already attracted the attention of
well-known people throughout the
country.
The marriage of divorced persons
in California has already been plac-
ed under the ban by most of the
ministers, and those who persist in
uniting the offending parties of those
separated by the courts have been
subject to verbal chastisement at the
sessions of Supreme court.

HERE is ANOTHER OPPORTUN-
ITY

This is the age when people are
advancing along many lines. The
word generally used is progress"
The word and what it stands for are
fraught with much meaning. In or
der to be truly progressive, people
have to be awake to Opportunity's
presence when Opportunity is knock
ing at their doors and calling for
them to come forth and show them
selves.
We learn from reliable sources
that ground will be broken this week
for the monument to be erected in
Gravity park at the intersection of
North Church and Canaan streets,
Carbondale The monument will be
a memorial to the old Gravity rail-
road and will be located on the site
of the first plane leaving that city.
1t will be twenty feet in height above
the ground and white stone and ce-
ment will be the material used. The
design is similar to the monument in
Memorial park and a tablet with a
suitable inscription, it is said, will be
donated by one of the officials of the
Delaware and Hudson company. The
idea of erecting monument was
first suggested by A. L. Sahm, who is
taking care of the several beauty
spots in that city, and the property
owners in that section of the city are
particularly anxious to have the
plan carried out
CarbondaIe may not be ahead of
Honesdale in the matter of base ball
and few other things, but the Pio-
neer City certainly leads when it
comes to marking historic spots for
the purpose of preserving them to
the generations to come.
Carbondale is right. Had more ef-
fort been made along such lines his
torians, both local and national,
would not be cropping in the dark
and see-sawing about many matters
that are now in dispute.
The Penn'a Coal Company, when
it abandoned it's gravity road, very
unwisely removed every vestige of
that unique enterprise. The last
visible sign was a beautiful smoke
stack made of brick that stood on an
eminence at No. 49," now Gravity.
1t should have been preserved; but,
wanted the bricks of which it was
composed. While in that smoke
stack those bricks amounted to
something; but they were scattered,
and with their scattering vanished a
ready-made monument that only re-
quired coat of paint and a tablet
to have stood out as bold as Caesar
at the Rubicon.
"Imperious Caesar, dead and turn'd
to clay,
Might stop a hole to keep the wind
away;
o, that that earth, which kept the
world in awe,
Should patch wall to eXpel the win
ter's flaw"
The Citizen now suggests that
steps be at once taken to preserve
the old brick smoke stack in Homes
dale that marked plane No. 10.
Paint it white; insert in it's surface
a suitable tablet; build fence about
it so that it may be protected from
vandals; invite the old gravity men
to hold their next annual gathering
beneath its shadow; and thus will
be marked a suitable memorial of
the D. & H. gravity railroad and the
head of that other wonderful enter
prise the Delaware & Hudson Canal.

WHO'S BEEN SAYING ANYTHING?

What's the matter with our genial
neighbor across the way? Now, what
impulse has hold of it's reins and
is directing it's utterances? Who has
been stoning it's house? Who has
been making unkind remarks about
the Independent? Certainly The
Citizen had nothing whatever to do
with inspiring the following surpris-
ing little item that was tucked away
in it's local columns last Friday:
The Independent does not boom any
body or anything for pay. 1t advocates
movement that it believes will be helpful
and uplifting to the community, town,
county, state and nation. great success
can be made of any movement or enter,
prise backed by honest men and sound
principles properly adhered to. Neither
does The Independent accept any kind OF
business or advertisements conditioned
upon influencing the expression of its edi-
torial opinions.
We are certainly surprised at the
first sentence. We supposed our
neighbor charged for its publicity
columns and that its rates were bas-
ed on it's circulation.
AS to the second assertion, we are
also surprised, for, according to its
own admission Immediately preced-
ing the late municipal election, it
did not advocate" "assist" or "ad-
vance" the public movement" that
had for it's object the paving of Main
and Park streets. The reason prob
ably was because paving Main street
was not deemed helpful and uplift-
ing to the community" Seven-year
old editorials are not to be counted
We heartily agree with our neigh
Dor in the assertion that "a great
success can be made of any move
ment or enterprise backed by honest
men and sound principles properly
would humbly suggest that honesty
is a quality that is not the exclusive
property of any individual or set Of
individuals. People have learned to
distrust anybody and everybody who
with uplifted hands declare, | am
holier than thou!"
We are really surprised at the
last statement of our neighbor which
declares that neither does the Inde-
pendent accept any kind of business
or advertisements conditioned upon
influencing the expression of its edi-
torial opinions"
Now who has been so wicked and
mean as to make such a suggestion?
When we come to think the matter
all over, we can't imagine any of our
contemporaries who would act diff
ferently than the course limited at
by the Independent. We have con-
sidered our contemporaries carefully.
We called them off something like
this, putting the question to each
one of them: Hawley Times, Trib-
metropolitan, Carbondale Leader,
Scranton Times, Archibald Citizen,
Olyphant Gazette, Peckville Journal,
Dunmorean, and right on through
list as long as our arm, and after
trying to peer between the armor
joints of each of them to find vul-
nerable spot, we were forced to de-
clare in each case, mot guilty!"
Surely our neighbor is not troub-
led with that awful trouble-maker,
an "evil conscience" which it is said,
needs no accuser." We have lots OF

Lands 2S-Inch Pickerel.
How would you feel if you had a
strike and was successful in landing
a pickerel that weighed five pounds
and eleven ounces and measured %
inches? This was the experience of
Charles Robinson, of Scranton, at
Lake Ariel last Thursday. The
former sheriff of Lackawanna coun-
ty was trolling on the lake and was
only few yards from shore, near the
Lake House, when jerk went the line.
Sheriff Robinson was waiting for a
nice big fish for his breakfast, but
did not expect to land one nearly
six pounds in weight, but he did.
The cut at the head of this depart
ment represents Sheriff Robinson
pulling in his big catch.
Edward Spettigue and son George
recently caught SO fine specimen of
catfish from Bunnell's S pond.
Horace Moules, of Seelyville,
claims that he never landed finer
pickerel than were caught few days
ago in Bunnelrs pond. The string
consisted of seven large pickerel.
Former County Treasurer Charles
NJ. Betz and friend, Edward Bigart,
of Carbondale, spent last Wednesday
at Lower Woods Pond where they
were successful in mesmerizing cat
fish that weighed nearly 40 pounds.
Many tipped the scales at a pound
and a half each and it also took
many to make a pound.
