THE time for seeding wheat is here,
but the drilling is not near so general
as it ought to be. The majority of the
crops will be put in late, and should
the Winter set in early as predicted,
the prospect for next years crop will
not be near so good. A few fields,
early sown, are putting on green
coat.
f. II. BECK, real estate agent, has
sold the farm of Chas. B. Daley,
between Smyrna and Clayton, contain
ing 20 acres, to Geo. b. Tullidge, of

lidge, who is a medical student, will
be accompanied by his father, who is q

THE Comet is still an object of in
terest to early risers of clear mornings.
Every body wants to see it, but not
few have failed because of the difficulty
of breaking their slumbers. The as
tronomers accuse it of taking itself
apart every few days and then putting
itself together again. The last accusa-
ton is that of wearing on its front, a
crescent shaped envelope. It's known
as Cruls Comet.
SURPLUS CAPITAL.-The amount of
money in our two banks subject to
check is $411, 1892. If the call of the
Comptroller had been made two weeks
sooner, the showing would have been
larger than this. These figures are
large enough however to show that
there is in the community q very large
surplus of unemployed capital that
might properly be employed in the
development of some local enterprise.
COMPLAINT is made this morning
and justly, at the Liberty COrnet Band
playing through our streets at two OF
three o'clock this morning on it's re.
turn from the Republican meeting in
Dover last night. Music is in order
the first part of the night, but never
after midnight. There is not one
person in a hundred that likes the
mixing of the clatter of brass banC
with their slumbers in the latter par
of the night.

tive Committee of Kent County Teach
ers' Association have decided to hole

Institute has not yet been selected
but the choice seems to lie between
Harrington and Dover Is it no
almost Smyrna's turn to welcome tn
Il teachers again?
