The result OF the election in Kent
County has had . most remarkable
effect upon the Smyrna Times. How
ever doubtful the political character OF
ahe paper may have been before for
many years past, there ls no mlStAkinR

The psrsittent bravery Of tho Kent
Republicans 10 certainly TO be admired,
but In spite OF that Il would appear,
from the votes cast for the four last
Btata elections, that the ASSESSORS and
collectors got In some OF their hns work,

Nobody will say anything to dampen
