The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-03-07
Some Citizens We Greet |

Charles T. Bellamy, of Scranton,
was in Honesdale on Tuesday calling
on old-time friends and acquaint-
ances. Mr.. Bellamy was a Prompton
boy in the years of yesterday. He
went over into the Lackawanna val
ley and began to do things. He
turned his attention to invention and
| patented shovel that so appealed to
the mandatory of shovels at Wyo-
ming that the heads of that institu-
ton, Payne Petebone, bought out his
rights and put Charley on Easy
street. For many years Mr.. Bellamy
has been connected with the Inter-
national Salt Company, and he has
rare faculty of convincing people that
salt is good" especially the Inter-
national kind. He takes great pleas
ure in making occasional visits to his
native county, and his many friends
always welcome his coming.
Hon. VIM. B. Guinnip, of Atco,
was in Honesdale on Inauguration
day. He said he attended one inau-
guration, that of Grover Cleveland,
and he regretted he was not in Wash
ington to see President Wilson take
the oath of office. Say, it is a pretty
good tonic to run across Will GUM
nip as he comes into town, fresh and
breezy from his home up where the
Delaware so softly flows. He always
has a CHEEKY word and a pleasant
smile for his friends, and he seems
to know almost everybody.
Judson E. Tiffany, of Pleasant
Mount, was greeting his hosts of
friends in Honesdale on Tuesday.
When informed that Tuesday seemed
to be a sort of rallying day in Homes
dale for the boys who used to at
tend the Prompton Normal school,
he said: " So Charley Bellamy is in
town, is he? And Will Guinnip is
here, too, is he? Good! You see,
we had to do something to-day. Af
ter being shut up for sixteen years,
it was high time we showed our app
probation of a change by coming to
Honesdale, or doing something des-
perate!" Then he told us of his new
auto and said he was going to take
us out to Pleasant Mount some day,
and we just promised that we'd go.
w. G. Norton, of Harrisburg, was
Beachlake, where he transacted busi-
ness. Mr.. Norton is a great admirer
of Governor John X. Tener,-and
why shouldn't he be? Speaking of
Governor Tener he told a representa-
tive of The Citizen that he wasNthe
best governor that Pennsylvania has
had for % years. Mr.. Norton says
the governor is strong for the agri-
cultural and horticultural develop
ment of the keystone state and will
do more through the present legisla-
ture than any governor we have ever
had. Mr.. Norton is inspector for all
live cattle that is shipped into Penn
sylvania.
George Wahl, of Scranton, was in
Honesdale on Wednesday, looking af
ter his Wayne county line of insur-
ance. 1t is about forty yer 70
that we first met Mr. Wahl
med the hair and waXed
taches of all the famous d
men of Scranton-that is
of them. Our old shaving
George got us to pay
dollar for is still in existe s.
it's handle. George got tiT 81
ing and cutting, and trie id
at newspaper work, pu a
German paper for the Sc e of
Scranton. Then he wen lnsur-
ance, and there he is. would
use a little of the good stuff he
used to put on ambit rs young
mems upper lips, he would look as
young as he did forty years ago. He
has lot of friends in Honesdale,
and they. always welcome his coming
to the Maple City.
Talking about forty years reminds
us of the pleasant meeting we had
