Thursday next, (lo-morrow) at .
O'Clock p. NJ, to give the members an
opportunity for making a pastoral call.
THE new books for the Smyrna Ii
brary. l25 volumes, have been received
by J. b. Cooper and will be placed on
the shelves in a few days. The Book
committee made the purchase through
Mr.. Cooper, finding they could get
them on better terms than dealing di-
rect with the publishers.
THE officers of the FrMt Growers
Bank have, sold the shoDadioining the
bank which has for several years been
in the occupancy of isaac M. Wilson.
to VIM. w. Tschudy, with a view to
It's removal. ThjS was determined on
because it added nothing to the an
pearance of things, and because it was
IN certain sense, from its inhammable
material, 2h element of danger. The
bank wiz have nothing hereafter next

distance away.
THE Kent Countian, is the title of a
pew paper received on Friday. or
YTather union of two papers previous
~ published-the Harrington Enter
prise and FELTON, Progress. This union
OF the two was a wise move towns
the size of Harrington and FELTON, can
not give paper the proper support.
and the publishers will be fortunate if
the Two can, with no state and little or
no county patronage. ENTERPRISE is
commendable, but there are getting to
be too many weekly papers in our
State for anything like an adequate
support.
HEN LEE had moving on Saturday
from the johnson building to the house
lately occupied by G. A. Wick. 1t
was bit of frOlic for the boys that fre.
quent his place. In return he treated
them to cigarettes and a drink that
had stick" in it. From this if
would appear that Lee does not know
anything about the Band of Hone
Good Templars, &c.-an opportunity
for these societies to do some mission
airy work. He does, however. com
plain about the way three large bovs
who won't belong to anything trear
him, and he would like to devise some
way to get rid of their tormentine
presence.
The festival at the Opera House on
Thursday and Friday evenings for the
benefit of the Presbyterian organ fund
resulted in gross receipts of over $40
and was a pleasant occasion to the mar
ticipants. Those who heard the sine

Thursday evening were very much
pleased and Mrs. Newton was cred
