"A circular has been issued to

Commonwealth Robert McAfee call

The fun in Charley Grapewin S
"Sweethearts and Wives" which will
be one of the early attractions at the
Lyric, is created by an almost end
less series of Misunderstanding. A
commercial traveller arrives home
during house-cleaning time and is
met by his wife whose jealousy has
been aroused by gossipy neighbors.
To make matters worse, he brings
home suit case belonging to an
other traveller with the same initials.

One of the finest trophies of the
big Michigan woods-the head of a
genuine bull moose-was received by
Benjamin Loris one day last week
and is now on display in his place of
business on South Main street. This
giant relative of the deer family was
shot by Joseph Kramer, a former
Wayne county boy, last winter near
Duluth, Michigan. The animal
weighed 1000 pounds and it measur-
ed fully five feet from the tip of one
antler to the other. Joe Kramer
having purchased the Kramer home
stead near Bethany expects to re-
turn to- Wayne county in the near
future.
The people of North Scranton
may well congratulate themselves
upon the great success of their Old
Home Week celebration held last
week. From the very start of the
preparations of the affair it has been
managed without hitch of any con-
sequence. From the initial meeting
there has been intense interest COM
bined with harmony. Great good
judgment was shown in the selection
of managers and officers. There may
have been some heart burnings, but
in such cases it is impossible to
please everybody. The decorations
and the hearty response of the peo-
pie to every demand of them must
have been very pleasing to all the
officers from President Fox down and
the reunion of the old Razorvillians
were occasions of many an interesting
story of the old days.
Many inquiries relative to the
various features of the act relating
to the election of supervisors at the
fall election have been received
from all parts of the county that The
Citizen thinks it wise to explain the
situation. Two supervisors will be
chosen for each township this fall.
Fhe officers who were elected in
1909 to 1910 will go out of office in
1913, according to the act, and these
are the vacancies that must be filled.
The two supervisors chosen this fall
will take office in January, 1914,
and will serve until 1918 and 1920.
The supervisors who were elected in
1911 will hold over until 1915 and
when elected in the fall of that year
they will take office in 1916. Every
two years thereafter a supervisor
will be elected to serve for two
years. This fall one supervisor will
be elected for years and one for 6
years. The petitions of supervisors
for nomination should indicate
whether the candidate wants the
four or six year term.
Mr.. Frank P. Woodward came
into The Times office yesterday like
fresh breeze from the hills and left
upon my desk the last number of the
Wayne Countean, containing his
swan song. Mr.. Woodward is one
of the patriarchs of the journalistic
tribes in these parts. He was on the
Scranton Sunday Free Press when I
first met him so many years ago that
| hate to number them and he was no
spring chicken in the profession at
that time. He started the Wayne
Countean about year ago. 1t did
not have so warm a greeting as he
expected and so he has concluded to
stop it. He does not seem to be the
least bit discouraged. In fact Mr..
Woodward is possessed of a sunny
temperament, his kindly face is al
ways beaming and he refuses to be
