Smyrna and he Deldioare r. R.-Smyrua
is penitent When the Delaware railroad
was constructed, her people by claiming e.
normous land damages, made the railroad
company construct its line q long distance
from town. This only annoyed the company
they found it cheaper TO leaveI Smyrna out
in the cold than to payS20, 900 TO this man,
and $40 900 to that, and SO on, for the priv,
ilege of improving the town, and they had
manhood sufficient about them to Iofuse to
conccde TO such unjust demands, and thcre-
fore located their road on the line of the
present village of Clayton. But, as we have
SAID before. Smyrna is penitent, and wants
to be forgiven. She admits her sins and
says to the Delaware Railroad Company,
Gentlemen, please curve your road into
our town, abandon the branch line, and Ilei
US enjoy the benefits OF real railroad"
And 1t is said to be fact that the Rail
Road Company, like good Christians, are to
forgive Smyrna and run their road into the
town at large cost and much trouble This
work, 1t is said, will be done some time next
year.-News.
