Smyrna times., 1878-09-11

Philadelphia, call attention to their large
stock of clothing as the place for city
visitors to get good and cheap outfit.
w. E. ARMINGToN, of Chicago, ILL.,, who
bought the Reese" farm near this town
some months since, has, with his wife,
taken permanent board at the Delaware
House.
THE commercial traveller is constantly
surprising us with new articles of trade but
the latest is bird fancier with lot of
canaries, and his success was much better
than many who come.
THE most plentiful thing in market the
past week or two has been water melons
and the quantity consumed has been large.
A large number have come from other Sec
tions. Our immediate country would
hardly supply the demand.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-Yester after
noon, near Green Spring station, a son of
Benjamin Truax, bearing the same name, q
young man 10 years of age, while fixing his
gun to 60 squirreling, accidently discharged
it, the whole load lodging under the chin,
killing him instantly.
HUBBARDs PHospHATE.-By advertisement
Of Messrs. Hubbard q Bro. it will be seen
that John H. Bewley is agent for its sale in
this section and those wanting this brand
will know who to apply to. They report
their sales continually extending and are
receiving larger orders now than at any
former period.
THE crossing at the intersection of Com.
merce and Church streets, from the ine-
quality of the two streets, is made exceed
ingly dangerous, three vehicles having
been broken in the simple act of crossing
last week. The probability is that if not
remeded, bill of damages will yet be re-
covered from the town.
r. NJ. JOHNSON, of this town, brought to
our Office bunch of grapes found in a
branch on the farm of Mrs. Atherley, near
Blaclzbird while looking for Fox grapes,
about the size Of the Clinton but having the
quality Of the Isabella. He thinks it a
hybrid or grown from the seed Of the cult
waited grape. 1t certainly is not like the
usual grapes found growing wild.
LAST week, in noticing the purchase OF
the Gerker farm, 536 acres, near Kenton,
belonging to Mrs. Sarah Bailey, by Peter
| Loose of Mich, we made an error it seems
in stating that it was made through the
agency of J. F. Mancha. All the prelmi-
naries to the sale were effected through the
agency of A. Price Griffith, who had the
case in hand, and who claims to have made
the sale.
EXCURsIoNs.-The excursions the past
week have not been SO we'll patronized as
were the previous ones. The one to Cape
May yesterday was materially interserred
with by the rain in the morning. The one
tomorrow to Ocean City will be the closing
one of the season. A like season for ex
cursions has never been known. The
people got the pleasure and the railroads
and steamboats, the money.

IS good specimen of five different article

e there is any machine that makes prettie
q fruit than these specimens of the Boswe

v The cheapness of these machines in col

1f which they do their work, should max
d them desirable to every farmer who has a
