of the important speakers are adyer-
tised to be at two or three places on
the same day. In Kent commencing
with the rally, oyster roast and parade
in Dover Monday, the Wolcott faction
intends to make as lively a campaign
as possible in Kent. The Salisbury

a single meeting in the county.
Quite a number of Smyrnians went

"unpleasantness" in Kent county.

Hand Injured.

Harry, son of Geo. w. Tilghman.
some sixteen years old, met with an
accident to his right hand on Monday
evening that will ruin it for life. He
with his father was working in the
shop after supper to finish some work
that had come in so he could get off
the next day to go chestnutting. While
running a palmer, by some means his
hand was caught in it, crushing the
index and two next fingers so they had
to be amputated, leaving only the
numb and little finger. Drs. Ashcraft
ana Clifton who did the surgery, re-
moved the fingers at the third or hand
JOint-a painful operation. Harry has
been a good boy and a great help to his
father, who feels very keenlV aside
from the suffering which has had to be
endured, the permanet injury he has
sustained.

IT must be provoking to the young
men for the married men to Just keen
one ahead Of them, but we presume
they can't help it, or they would. The
game of base ball between them on
Thursday stood 1S to IL while that of
week before last was % to %. The
young men we believe have concluded
to give it up.
CLEMENT V. SCOUT, who has been
Keeping bachelors hall" three miles
from town on the road to Dover for
the past two or three years, concluded
to end his lonely life by taking to him
self wife, which he did on the even

bride being Miss Fannie Thompson.
Rev. w. s. Robinson tied the knot in
the presence of the guests who accom-

JOHN CosGRIFF has bought the house
OF the heirs of the late Mrs. FAIRIES on
Mount Vernon street between the
residences of John p. Hudson and E.
M. Fowler. The sum of $4,000 was
paid for it. Mr.. Cosgriff intends NOV
ing the present house to the rear for a
OacK building, and erecting a new and
modern front. We presume the line of
the front will be made to conform to
the fine row of new houses on the same
street.
The weather has been cold for the
season since the first of September. It
would be natural that the remainder of
the autumn should be comparatively
moderate after so many weeks of the
opposite. We give little credence to
the prophets, but some do, and we
publish the following for their benefit:
" A Rockland county, N. Y, weather
prophet, whose predictions never fall
says that November will De mild and
dry, with two light SHOWS which will
not IN either case remain on the ground
more than twelve hours. A cold snap

Whatthe Smyrna Public Schools Need.


We are glad to see that a move has
been made to supply our Public Schools
with some much-needed appliances for
teaching. 1t is matter of regret that
our schools are so poorly supplied with
apparatus. There are no maps of
modern date, the charts are old-fash-
ioned and worn out, appliances abso-
lutely necessary to the clear explana-
ton of Physics, Physiology, etc, would
be surprise to the scholars, and vet
we expect our schools to keep abreast
of the times.
Chas. S. Williams has been engaged
TO deliver his unique lecture on "Ver-
tebrate Men" in the Opera House, on
the 18th of November, and the proceeds
are to be used for the purpose indicated
above.
1t is intended to keep expenses so
low that at least so per cent. of the gross
receipts will 60 directly to the schools.
Mr.. Williams is widely known as q
public speaker and is very popular.
His lecture, although bearing a title
with scientific sound, is not of scien-
tific nature, but is one that will delight
all with its originality and humOr.
1t may be well to remark that Mr..
Williams has consented to speak here,
asking as remuneration his expenses
only. This he does in view of the
fact that the proceeds are to be used
for the Public Schools. If a stranger
Is generous to do so much for our
schools, we surely must not allow him
to speak to a small audience.

THE editor of the esteemed SMYRNA
Record pretends not TO understand the
position of the TIMES on the temper
ance question. The editor of the
Record is a well meaning young man
but he has much to learn in the wav
OF a steady opinion, as the many posi-
tions of the paper in relation to this
subject will testify. While the editors
knowledge box may be full, he will
confess he has forgotten something if
he Will carefully read the communica-
ton Oft B. COursey in another column.
The editor of the TIMES stands now
just where he stood two years ago. If
the editor of the Record is not figuring
IN the role of DIR. Jeckyll and Mr..
Hyde, what else can he be but Third
Party man, if the following from his
last issue expresses his honest convic-
tions:
Who believes in Republican SINGER
lty on the liquor question, or on the
same question who for that matter be-
heves in Democratic sincerity? Ifnow
and we speak advisedly, anybody holds
temperance legislation to be of nara
mount Importance his place is with the
third party. And we say this to the
Democratic party: If you do not take
heed of this question as it deserves.
you will wake up some gloomy day
after election to find party in power

The Price of Bread.
WHEAT MUST COME DOWN.

A representative of the Baltimore
american has had an interview with
several Of the leading bakers of Balti-
more city about the price of bread, &c.
The owner of one of the largest baker
les is reported as saying.
" The reduction of one ounce per
loaf gives US about fifty cents a barrel
advance. The majority of bakers are
now selling at a loss, except a few who
have had a large stock Of -four on
hand. We do not feel sure about the
price of wheat, and do not wish to put
ourselves in a position of raising the
price of bread now and having to re-
duce 1t again after a short while. Balti-
more has now the cheapest bread and
Hour market in the Union. New York
bakers have always charged one cent
per loaf more than we, and yet even
now, on account of the reduction of an
ounce per loaf, there is a noticeable de-
crease in our sales. Many poor people
buy cornmeal, mix it with a little
wheat flour, use this compound instead
OF our bread. If the price of wheat
Keeps up, the price of bread must rise.
We must compete with Russia in fur
nishing to other European countries
the wheat shortage. The price of
wheat now is so high we cannot even
export it, and before long the Western
men who are now holding back will
have so much on hand as to be COM
PEELED to ship and force the price
down."
The manager of another concern
said: " The large bakers are willing
enough to raise the price of bread and
sell full pOund-loaf for six cents retail
for we cannot continue to do business
at IA loss, as we do now. To raise the
price we wOul1 not need concerted
action of all the bakers in the city. and
many of them are opposed to it. We
can get two hundred and sixty pound
loaves out of barrel of -four. With a
raise of S2.75 per barrel, by increasing
the price of our bread one cent per loaf
we shall still be fifteen cents behind. Il
have as yet heard nothing about anv
intention on the part of the bakers to
raise the price. But unless wheat falls at
least to one dollar per bushel-and that
Is not likely to happen-before Decem-
Der. the retail price of bread must 90

amounts to prohibition of this accursed
traffic"
The Rev. DR.. Charles Townsend, of
Lansingburg, N. Y, says:
" Although I believe in prohibition
yet l do not believe, just now. that to
jeopardize the election of Mr. Miller
for the sake of any third party mea-
sures or ambition is justifable in con-
science. [ want my vote to tell now
as well as fifty year from now; it shall
be cast for a temperance advocate who

temperance advancement now.
Il cannot, without violation of con-
science, regard High License as either
permissive of evil or a compromise
with evil; it tsurely is a restriction of
evil, and until the day of entire prohi-
bition is the best substitute for it."

writer of this were apDointed to To-,
this matter before the conventions ~

the conVentlons and one ofthem at least
was held with closed doors. and each of

There may be no ground of hone for

have in both parties, considerably
warmed up in New Castle and Sussex.
This is especially so in the latter coun-

Republicans twenty. Some of the
Salisbury speakers who will take no
