Smyrna times., 1883-07-25

WHILE Mrs. DIR. w. T. Collins aud
mother were at Cape May, a Night
Blooming Cereus which they had been
watching with some solicitude bloomed
out, but was "born to blush unseen"
for the male members of the family
were the only ones home, and they
neither detected the unfolding petals
nor caught its delicate fragrance. They
usually have but one, but this had
three blooms.
MARROW-BONE PHosPHATE.-T
brand of phosphate, manufactured near
this town by Alexander G. Cummins,
is actively in the market, rs will be
seen by our advertising columns, COM
peting for the wheat crops. It's merits
are set forth in strong and vigorous
language in the advertisement which
it is not necessary for us to repeat,
only to say that it is a brand that has
some strong friends. The works at the
"Brick Store" Landing on the creek
(which we have several times describ-
ed) are now actively employed in get
ting out full stock for the Autumn's
| demands. In addition to home sales,
Mr.. c. sends considerable quantities of
the Marrow-BOne to Queen Anne's,
Kent and Cecil Counties, Md.
MAKE Room FOR THEM.-There is
scarcely an unOccupied house in
Smyrna, if any the hotels are full, and
there are many strangers and visitors
as we'll as those who come to remain
find it almost impossible to get places
to board. A gentleman having busi-
ness here for few days found it very
| difficult to find accommodations, haV-
ing applied at two boarding houses,
both of which had as many as could be
provided for Would it not be we'll if
there are hOuse-keepers having more
room than they require and who might
think it desirable to take one or more
boarders TO make it known by the sim
| pie announcement in the the TIMES.
Our population is increasing and we
should try and make provisions for it..
INTERESTING TO FARMERS AND SHIP
PIERS OF FRUIT.-The Philadelphia and
Smyrna Transportation Company are
making arrangements to put on daily
line of boats to convey peaches and
passengers to Philadelphia. The time
for starting will be deferred as late in
the day as the tide will admit Fruit
will be received up to leaving time,
after the advertised time for leaving
the doors will be closed and no more
fruit will be received until after the
boat leaves. The boat starting on
time the fruit will be in Philadelphia
for the early market. The fruit will
be handled with care, and landed in
Philadelphia in good order. The rates
are exceedingly low, and the line de-
serves liberal patronage. Ample ar.
rangements will be made to carry all
peaches that may be delivered to the
boat before leaving time. p
DEATH OF Mrs. JEsTER.-Mrs. Sarah
Jester, wife of John NJ. Jester, of thi.
town, died yesterday in the SOth yeal
of her age. She was the sister of Jas
TruaX and had been married to Mr.
Jester forty-four years, having been
