IHE statement attributed to Philip Phil.
lps that Smyrna is the only place on two
continents in which be was refused the use
OF church, We are assured is not correct
as he sang in public halls in Dover, Fred
erica and ether places in the State. Mr..
P.'s remarks may have been perverted, but
whether 80 or not, the Trustees consider
that the public hall ia the place for all
purposes not strictly in the interest of the
church.
ENLARGING OPERATIoNs.-Ths business en-.
terprises of the MesSrs. j. E. Tygert & Co.
seem In a state of actual and constant
growth. In their original purchase of
ground of Geo. w. Cummins at Rethwelrs
Landing they purchased what then seemed
ample for future needs for their phosphate
manufacture, acres. They now find since
the addition of their steamboat line. coal
| yards, &c, that they hadn't the elbow room
needed and have, We hear, purchased of Mr..
| Cummlns nine or ten acres more at SlO0
per acre. They purpose putting up addi
tlonal buildings for manufacturing purposes
and wharf usage, and also intend to erect
stables to keep their draft horses there in
stead OF the tewR as heretofore. We
chronicle this enlargement with pleasure
because RothwslPs Landing has become
smphatically the 'east end" of Smyrna.
