THE big blizzard that bothered seve-
raj of the Western states so Sunday
and Monday-the worst in some places
for several years-did not reach us as
was indicated by probabilities. We
had plenty of rain enough for month,
and the clear-up of yesterday had all
the marks of a March day. The mer-
curry dropped to only 26' last night,
with rising temperature to-day.
Mr.. G. G. TYNDAL, of FELTON,, an ap-
plicant for the Office of superintendent
of Public Schools which will be vacant
| in April by the withdrawal of Superin-
tendent Cooper, was in Smyrna Satur-
day on his canvass. Mr.. Tyndal is
armed with as good and strong certif-
Gates as any man can lay before
the Governor; and if they are the cri-
teriOn of fitness, he would seem to
stand good chance for the appoint
ment. --

chant. Of his industry and Obliging
nature we can speak unqualifedly
after an association of over four years

his stand to the wants of his customer

without quibbling. The confidence re
posed in Mr.. HOffecker by this com
munity is guarantee to all who may
place their assurances in his care tha

thorough business integrity are all de
sirable considerations to one wish
ing insurance. We are glad to see hir
branching out and wish him the sue
