SOME complaint is being made at
the dilatOry way the M. E. Finance
Committee attends to its duties. The
tablet card in the vestibule of the
church which is supposed to show the
monthly financial standing of each con-
tributing member, has not been marked
up it is said since November.
PURSUANT to advertisement, the
subscription books Ofthe Philadelphia
and Smyrna Transportation Company"
were opened at the Office of ]. Z.
Tygert & Co., last Monday. Over 800
shares of the capital stock were sub
scribed. This, therefore, insures the
success of the enterprise which we are
glad to note.
THE two first days of March were
serene and pleasant enough for April,
opening the blossoms of NAPLES, while
the next day we were visited with
snow squalls, on Monday with the
coldest morning of nearly a month
past, the thermometer getting down to
140, yesterday snow and rain again,
and to-day bleak Northwest winds.
Inconstanr March!
