Smyrna times., 1880-08-11

If those parents who absent themselves
from church on Sunday evenings do it to
see after their boys, it is, at least with
some of them, for useless purpose. The
boys have foot races on tho street all the
same.

NEED SEEING AFTER.-The Middletown
Transcript in giving an account of the ex-
cursion from that town to Woodland
Beach" three weeks ago complained Of a
gang of roughs of this town that tried to
kick up disturbance with one of their
party; and they joined the second excur
sion from there last Thursday with mis-
chief in their heads. The spirit actuating
them was specially manifested by the use
of their own chosen name, "head smash
ers." Their conduct with this company
might be parsed as an accidental provoca
ton, but writer in the Hent Nc,os, Chester
town, has the following paragraphs
ain theinterest Of good order, must write
of certain young men. They were six il
number, and came from Smyrna, nethC
rejecting credit upon Smyrna nor contrib
uting to the pleasure Of the eXcursionist
from that or any other place. The choru
of one Of their songs was Bound to b.
around" We learned that the chorus wa
literally true so far as excursions were con
} cerned; they were bound to be arounC
every time one left Smyrna, to the uttc
regret of its people and to the discomfor
and digust of people of every other place
Just before reaching Smyrna they sang tn
old familiar song:
Home again. home again,
From foreign sho'c;
I Oh how il fills our souls with Joy.
TO meet my friends no more
There were scores of pleasure-loving peopl
who were filled with joy that the abov
a mentioned memorable ones were HON
again, and unless they behave better wi
contribute to the comfort Of an excursio
: best by staying at home. Abating then
8 Smyrna may well feel proud Of the rest {
t her citizens who went to the Cape. w
= would love to see their like again"
We never heard of the "head smashers
before last week, but there is too muc
o concurrent testimony to doubt their e
c istence, and can only present the gray
a fact for the consideration Of our author
u ties. They are young, and may be save
from disgrace and the town from a T
9 proach, if seen after in timo.
