Smyrna times., 1882-06-21


DIR. KITCHENS, of Philadelphia, spent
the most of last week at his beautiful
farm at Flemings Landing, on Smyrna
Creek. The doctor takes great inter-
est in the developement of his farm
which is already in high state OF cul-
tiyation and his tenant Mr. Biles, has the
the best fields of wheat and oats III
Thoroughfare Neck. He has put new |
board fence, commencing at the steam
boat landing, around the East and
North fronts of his farm A clover
| field of some 18 acres, remarkably
heavy, is now being harvested. He
contemplates during the season put
! ting a stone wall on the creek front OF
his yard, which runs down to the
| stream.
RALPH BINGHAM, the boy orator,
from Richmond, Va, was greeted with
full house at the Town Hall last
evening who listened with the apparent
utmost delight at his various renditions
for an hour and half. Master Ralph
is certainly a prodigy, in his several
roles of elocution, oratory, vocalist,
humorist and character taken. The
tendency however to over acting,
meaningless grimaces and attitudes)
in obedience to popular applause
was very apparent i'll the model

a song of genuine wit and sentiment
could have well been substituted for

PUBLIC RoADs.--PersOns who used
to have business calling them to the
Landing, can we'll remember the horri-
BILE condition of the roads. For several
wears past, and especially since the
starting of the steamer John E. 1yget,
this complaint has been entirely done

2 washes. The Messrs. j. Z. Tygert q
Y Co. took the matter in their own hands
) and the people who travel over it,
r especially those from the Neck" have
e reioiced in the change. The first thing
=: was to ridge it up in the middle, and

V has been kept so since. The people
down the "Necks'', where the roads
were uniformly bad, have adopted the
|, same methods and they have been
e astonished themselves at the great i'm
s provement in their public highways
e There has been a general spirit of i'm
e provement throughout the country
o but we hear complaints from some les
er freuuented roads in this and Kentol
,e hundreds, that the Overseers use tht
