Smyrna times., 1883-08-08

lOFCo buey ueSiTe. luty are pushing
the ''Star Bone" along with decided
energy.
THE Kent County Railroad expects
to run an excursion of colored people |
to Millington, Nd, on next Saturday |
night of / 200 persons. They will come
from Philadelphia to Woodland Beach |
by boat and pass our town by rail |
about midnight.
The Transportation Company put
on the daily line of boats on Monday. |
They are being largely patronized for
several reasons, first, the rates are ex-
ceedingly low, they start promptly on
time and they are sure to get in Phila-
delphia in time for the earliest market. |
If you want your fruit shipped to
Philadelphia in good order, use the
transportation line, be sure and have it |
on the wharf before the time of leaving.
If you want your fruit in Philadelphia
in time for the early market, you must |
have it to the boat before her time of
leaving.
On Tuesday of last week "Bill"
Farrell was arrested out at Dulaney's,
and sent to New Castle Jail, for cutting
man named Saul with a razor at
Buffers store. The alteration arose
from Saul accusing Farrell of stealing
his whiskey when the latter said he
had paid for it.
THE bricklayers on the new school
house have the walls up to the second
story and some idea of its massiveness
is becoming apparent. The artistic
setting of black and buff brick in the
walls of red. is already giving evidence
of a handsome finish to the whole
when completed.
ONE of our needs, as a town, is more
houses. We hear of gentleman i'll
the country who wants to move into
town for the purpose of the school ad
vantages it affords, but is prevented
because he cannot find a house to move
into. There are plenty of lots to build
ON and our capitalists will doubtless
find house building good Investment.
THE masons at work on the Presby-
terian Church have finished the side
walls and chapel, and have only the
gables and tower yet to do which will
require perhaps three weeks. A der
ters are placing the main rafters in
pOsition-very heavy timbers, in their
bOlted and framed condition, weighing
about ton and q half.
IT is rare thing to hear a complaint
in the month of August of the weather
being too cool, but such has been the
case during the past week. 1t is warm
enough in the middle of the day when
exposed to the SUMS rays, but at night
the thermometer has fallen to co., Civ
ing the temperature biliOusY, October
feeling. But otherwise it is grandly
restful and refreshing to the fatigued.
The Sunday excursion to Cape May
going by the steamer Mary Morgan
| from Woodland Beach Saturday even
ing and returning OIL Sunday evening
was not well patroAized by our citizens,
only three persons we are told ventur-
ing to spend the Sabbath in that way.
The Kent County train came down
with 200 people from Maryland to go
oyer to the Cape.
The excursion train to Woodland
Beach will leave here on Wednesday
evenings at o'clock in addition to the
o'clock train. Some persons were de-
ceived on Wednesday last in regard to
the Philadelphia arrangement. We'd
nesday is excepted, as is stated in the
advertisement in the TINES, because
the Clyde goes to Cape May on that
day, but the arrangement holds good
for the other days
THE lamp posts, In contrast with
other improvements going on, painting
and repairing, present rather rusty
appearance. If they were painted a
light shade of color it would not only
add to their appearance but might as
sist persons as guide walking the
streets at night when the lights are ex
tingpisbed, This is a suggestion
worthy the attention and consideration
of our Town Commissioners.
OUR policeman Messrs. Slyhoff an(
Grant have devised novel cOntrivancC
for eKtilgqishing the street lamps with
out climbing Up and opening them. L
: is done by wire and hook. They ar,
thus saved not only good deal of un
= necessary labor, but the annoyance o
flies and bugs that before had been at
tracted by the light aud rushed in a
soon as the door was opened. The,
are trying to devise a similar methOl
