Taylor.
WE see it stated in some of our ex-
changes that our sister town of Smyrna
is to have q new local paper. 1t will
have to get up early to beat the TIMES.

The statement about a new local
other irresponsible things that get
atloat. in the scribblings Of youthful
newspaper correspondent. Smyrna,
standing as it does, on the upper edge
OF the country, away from the large
demands on the printer that law and
public offices make, presents u limited
field and will until there is q much
greater development in manufacturing
and house building. Two or more
attempts have been made to establish
a second paper. but they were like a
" root in dry ground" and succumbed
after a sickly existence. That the
TIMES has taken strong and healthy
root, is attested by the complimentary
reference to it by our cOtemporary
above. Two papers would mean II
double cost to the man who advertises,
if he wants to reach the people, and the
cost of two subscriptions for the same
local news. Not few, in such an
event would find it we think, 6" too
much pork for a shilling"

MINOR MENTIoN.-The country
cousins" are now reversing the order
of things. There were never perhaps
so many of them returning the visits of
their city friends at one time as this
Bi-Centennial week. But the city
visitors have the advantage after all
for Summer comes every year and the
Centennial only once in hundred.
Our residents of English origin
ought to be delighted with this October
the damp, fOggy, rainy weather of the
past four weeks ought to have been
sufficient to give them very home
like feeling. Philadelphia, in get
ting up her big show this week, had an
eye ON the Delaware peach money

ports.--Is it to hear eloquence, tho
