Smyrna and Vicinity

pecIeu 10 De unusually large.
THE cool weather of the past week is
suggestive of the chesSnuting season.
He who from a right motive gives
to those in need, is sure to be reward
ed.
OUR coal dealers are putting their
black diamonds into many an empty
bin.
The Chautauqua Scientific and Lit
erary Circle will hold a special meeting
this evening.
MIsFoRTUNEs are bad indeed, but
those that never occur are the worst
imaginary ones.
JOHN H. HoFFECKER shipped a car
load of canned tomatoes to Syracuse.
n. Y. yesterday.
WE have reached the frost season.
with little or none of the autumn cry
about chills and fevers.
TOMATOES are rotting so badly that
packers will not be able to secure a full
pack even if frost should hold off.
THE manure heap is a good savings
bank for the farmer, although it's fra
GRANGE may not be as pleasant as altar
Of-rOses.
The branch track from Smyrna to
Clayton has been undergoing repairs
and now has bed of almost entirely
new ties.
THE ladies of the M. E. Church of
KentOn, will hold festival on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday evenings
of next week.
B. V. WELDON will sell at public
sale at the Smyrna House at 4 o'clock
on Saturday afternoon next, an ircn-
axeled wagon, dearborn and horse cart.
OUR people who rode down to the
Fair were rather pleased with the new
road over the Dover mill pond into
State street, which shOrtens the dis
tance mile or more.
THE cool, fresh air, whence health
and vigor spring, has come. The
lands are lit with all the autumn blaze
OF golden-rod, which will soon be varied
by the scarlet of the maple and the
gum.
The cool northwest winds of Sunday
brought out not only the winter cloth
ing, but in many cases the overcoats
also. The last day ofSeptember claimed
the privilege to remind us that autumn
had really arrived.
THE members of HARMONY Lodpe
No. 10, A. F. and A. NJ, are requested
to be present to-morrow--Thursd
evening, October 4th. Business of
Importance.
By order of w. M.
The Society of Christian Endeavor.
at business meeting last night, ap-
pointed several committees to add to
the effectiveness of the association. A
number OF new members were added
to the society the past week.
THERE will be special meeting of
the Smyrna Athletic Association, held
on Tuesday evening, Oct. 9th, at rooms
of the Citizens Hose Co. A full at
tendance is particularly requested.
By order of the
PRESIDENT.
b. G. WALLS announces his fall
opening of clothing. The important
feature to be noticed is that he not
only promises, but guarantees to sell
his goods as low as they can be pur-
chased for in Philadelphia. He has
opened the largest stock he has ever
had.
IF THE street committee persistently
disregard their own observations in
regard to the inequalities in the streets
and the importance of having it reme-
died before freezing weather sets in,
and still resist the appeals of the Record
to put a road scraper at work, what
else can make an impression on them
short of a chunk?
A GAME of base ball will be plaved
tomorrow afternoon between the
Smyrna club and "Spruance City"
nine, and Carter and Grawley battery
for Smyrna, and Hodson and Magee
for the latter. 1t is intended as a bene-
fit for the first named battery who
have played here for some weeks, and
will, it is presumed, end the season.
THE time of service at the Methodist
church on Sunday morning was occu-
pied by the administration of the rite
of adult baptism and the admission
into full membership of a class of pro.
bationers, eleven in number, several
being absent who were on the list.
Rev. Mr.. Robinson made it more than
usually interesting for an occasion of
the kind.
The boys gave Mr.. and Mrs. E. G.
Walls a calithumpian racket on Mon
day night that seemed to afford them
enjoyment, as making a noise always
does, but Mr.. Walls had made I'D his
mind not to come out, and even the
hoarse voice of the hOrse-fddle was
seemingly not heard. The bows kept
up the din until they got tired, gave it
up, and went home to bed.
A GREAT deal of the evaporated fruit
is being hurried forward to the cities.
and it is being auctioned off at the
Producers Exchange, the members of
which are mostly commission men, at
from to 8 cents for the unpeeled and
from IL to Is cents for the best peeled
fruit. These prices will hardly paw
for the green peaches, and those who
can had better wait for the market to
get cleared.
DURING the prevalence of the high
south wind on Monday evening, from a
telephone message received it was soon
circulated that Camden was on fire.
and created general interest and in
quiry because the imminent danger to
a town under such circumstances was
readily taken in. Fortunately it was
only one house, situated so as not TO
endanger the town. The reflection on
the clouds of the burning of the glass
works at Dover, four hours later, at
late bed time, was seen by a number
of our people.
A. i. HUDSON, JR., in succeeding his
father, has farm in which any farmer.
young or old, can spread himself. He
grew this year 10000 baskets of fpeaches.
1000 of which he ran through his
evapOrators, which is now being pack
ed away in 80 pound boxes. An in
vestment of 81 900 in grapes has been
like that of many others, no good this
year. The ground intended for the
corn crop next year has been given a
good coat of manure. Like the other
large products of the place, he has a
hog that promises at killing time to
dress nearly 800 pounds.
SATURDAY afternoon gave US some
