property this week. See advertisement.
NEW BUSINESS EsTABLIsuAfENTs.-- /
large wareroom of G. W. & S. Taylor is
going through the finishing process of the
workmer and when completed will add
largely to their business convenience.
The new carriage shop built by Geo. w.
Cummins for Messrs. Beckett & Mackey is
likewise nearly ready for occupancy. 1t
surpasses anything of the kind we have
ever had in this town, and there is per-
haps not more commodious and better
arranged carriage shop on the Peninsula
below Wilmington.
-REvIvALs.--A spirit of Revival is mani
fest in some of the M. Z. Churches. The
meeting at Friendship" Thoroughfare
Neck, which commenced about four weeks
ago, still continues with increasing inter
est, the penitents at the altar on Monday
night numbering some twenty persons.
The meeting at Kenton, which cOmmen-
ced two week ago last Sunday night, con-
tinues also with increased interest, nearly
a dozen having prsfessed religion and on
Monday night fourteen were at the altar,
nearly all of whom were young men. The
meeting in this town now on its third week
is well attended but thus far there has
been no stir.
SPoRTING.-A great many gunners have
come into the State during the past two
weeks, but we have not observed so many
of them in this section as usual. The dry
Summer was favorable in the fullest degree
to the production of partridges and rabbits
and there would have been an unusual
quantity but for the destruction of the
parent stock in the prolonged SHOWS of
last Winter We have some veritable
lovers of the gun and dog in our town who
have had some sport, but cunning is
attended with more difficulty than usual
| The birds are wild and take to the thickets
where, they say, they cannot wink their
eyes without scratching them with the
briars.
AT the NJ. E. Church, Sunday next there
will be Lovefeast at 8 A. M, preaching by
Rev. T. f. Martindale, p. E.. at 103 O'Clock.
Mrs. Woodbridge, of Ohio, will arrive on
Saturday evening, and will hold meetings
as follows:
At P NJ, a meeting of the children and
so that the children of all the Sunday
Schools can attend without interfering
with their Sunday School duties. At G
P. NJ, she will hold a women's meeting in
the lecture room and at o'clock will
address a public meeting in the auditorium
A cordial invitation is extended to the
people of Smyrna and vicinity to hear this
elect lady.
"MAY AND DECEMBER" Joined hands in
our town on Thanksgiving day, in the
persons of two candidates for matrimonS
from the Delaney's Chapel district, the
man answering to the age of 10, while the
fair one, looked to be 65 or 20. They
called at the NJ. E. parsonage, but from
conscientious motives they were sent away
twain. They next applied to the Presby
terian minister with no better success
nothing dauHted, they proceeded to iopl
for some one who would sympathize will
their loves young DREAM" which the,
, did at last in the person of one not in tn
, regular work. There is something repel
liant in such incongruous alliances, ant
9 one cannot help looking to the time wheI
! such things will be considered mora
f wrong.

IS the Neal Case (which comes up evel
b, court, but Is all the time held back f
IN others to take the preeedenGe) have bee
he almost daily in attendance upon its Sc
d. siOns the past two weeks. From the fir
In to the last, weeks have been wasted
us the whims of q lawyer, on man Prov
guilty of a heinous offence and that aho
-- every body thought ought to suffer Il
penalty of his crime. These witness
find at the close of each day after payil
rd expenses, mot including cigars, SC, y tn
er have two dimes left for the support
their families. 70 men of business, pI
fessional and otherwise, this waste
at time drags heavily in dull town ii
ay Wilmington. A dexterous women will
ball of yarn and a bone could get throu
half dozen hours in such place co
We We fortably perhaps, but the men are desel
Vi ing of pity-a quality that does not en-
a lawyers soul; Mr, Higgins would ha
ba done these men favor if he had inform

knitting or some other pastime In VIII
they could possess their souls in patienc
