Smyrna times., 1886-11-10


nectiOn with A. G. Yates & Co, Phila-
delphia, where he will be glad to re-
ceiVe his numerous friends when in
need of clothing. ia
How blank the sky, how sad the dayl
The bright stream wanders ihOurnfully
Past silent hedge and woodland gray,
And fields that cold and empty be.
The mists uprise-the sun drops down
And naked all the plain appears:
And Autumn in her fields of brown
Mark how she steals away in tears"
SUNDAY and Monday gave us de-
cided touch of Winter, the thermome-
ter sinking to 28o on the latter morn
ing, making ice freely and crusting the
ground. 1t was preceded on Saturday
evening by quite a thunder shower and
heavy fall of rain, but the telegraph re-
ported fall of snow throughout the
North and West.
We have just received a sample
copy of a new Piano piece called
Gentle BillOws," by A. 7. Crammer.
This is without doubt the best piece
lately issued. No one who has piano
should be without it. The price is 40
cents, but it will be sent to anyone now
for % cents. Address, J. c. Greene &
Co., Music Publishers, "a & 40 Arcade,
Cincinnati. O.
The usual signs of cold weather and
a hard Winter such as thick corn
husks, the migration South of wild
geese, &c, are as abundant in the
newspapers this year as former seasons.
Coupled with that Of the thick corn
husks is almost invariably the heavy
mast of nuts, but this year this sign is
wanting, as the nut crop is unusually
short. The prophecies of an early and
severe Winter have no substantial
foundation.
THE canneries and evaporators of
Milford and that neighborhood con-
sumo 100000 baskets of peaches per
annum, thus making that the best
home market for peaches in the United
States. So it pays to grow peaches
there either for shipment or for home
consumption. Davis & Co., real estate
brokers, offer for sale 100 farms near
Milford. Send for their catalogue.
Farms Of all sizes, from 10 to 600 acres.
Best railroad and navigation facilities.
Land $40 to $500 per acre. II
ELMER z. TAYLOR, the second son
of the senior member of the firm, has
been admitted as a partner of the firm
of Geo. w. & S. Taylor. Mr.. Taylor
has grown up with the establishment.
and by his superior tact in mechanism
has made himself indispensable to the
business. The main, or central build
ing of their establishment is being
raised, thus giving them an additional
room Of 30 by los feet. They have
made great Improvement in their
Little Diamond cultivatOr and an

RoBT. H. DARRAH, who bought the
" Gootee" farm, three miles west of
Clayton, on the Middle Alley road.
some five years ago and who has been
IN luck on a peach crop every year
since, is arranging to appropriate some
of this "gOOd luck in ornamenting
the neighborhoOd and adding to his
home comforts, by the erection of a
large dwelling-on the same general
plan as that just finished by David
Reese, on the same road. Mr.. Darrab
IS getting the material together. but as

fruit grower and nurseryman, with a |

we shall be surprised if Mr.. Boggs does |
not make it readable and useful com-
pendulum of agricultural information.
The price will be 81 per year. The
paper will be Is pages, three columns
