Smyrna times., 1892-08-24

AT this time of the year if the weeds
are allowed they certainly are only
going to seed to have an extra crop
next year to bother with. On some of
the highways the carrots, Canada this
tie, mullen and other nOxiOus weeds
are still growing. The owner of proper
ty on which these pests are allowed to
grow should keep them clear of the
nuisances.
The following is the time table of
the Steamer Ella for September:
Smyrna Landing, Philadelphia.

THE announcement has just been
made of the marriage of Samuel Il.
Warren, of Middletown, and Clara E.
Hickey, of near Smyrna. The cere-
mOny was performed by Rev. Alfred
Smith, at his home in Smyrna, on the
evening of July 18th, but the news did
not leak out until this week. The
bride has been staying at her home
near Smyrna and the groom with his
parents at Middletown, but they will
shortly go to housekeeping.
GEO. F. FROWN, as agent for the
II Eira Co 70 ~ 4
to Delmar last week in the interest of
that manufacture and when the
safes were open, some eight or nine,
found they had all kept their contents
in a good state of preservation. The
result was, he made the sale of five
other safes before ne left. He states
on the authority of VIM. L. Sirman,
that the houses destroyed number y ;
the loss on which was 100000, with
insurance amounting to only about
$4,000.
A FEW baskets of tomatoes, grown
for the canneries were delivered yes
terday. Sugar corn came in yesterday
to the Messrs. Osborne, up TO their
capacity for processing, though the
supply is expected to drop off in few
days. They expected, from the pre-
vailing drought to find the ears short
and poorly filled, but say they never
| saw better corn.
GEORGE ROBINSON, a we'll known
cOlOred man of this vicinity, died yes
terday in the Gath year of his age.
His life was spent mainly down the
| Neck near Shorts Landing, where he
| owned a house and some twenty or
thirty acres of land. He has been
lately staying with his son in thi,
town, and only a week or so ago tC
visit his daughter, wife of one of the
'5arner's near KentOn, where he died
He was, perhaps, the oldest man in the
community.
LAST May, Geo. Il. LoGand, living
on Mr.. HIPS big Oak" farm thought
there were indications in his large
orchard for full quarter of a crop
Last week he went into his orchard
one day and after diligent searcl
gathered together eleven baskets
These were sold at the depot for $24
He doubtless thought, AS any Othe
man would, what nice thing it woult
have been had all these peaches stucl
and done their duty as was promised
in May.
, THE horse which II. B. Grieves hire,
out on Tuesday of last week for tht
| day, but which was not returned. wa
: obtained by him on Saturday at Lin
= wood, Pa. The man gave the name o
} | Charles Johnson, claiming to resid
5 near Clayton, and paid in advance 70
} the team, to 20 a mile below Dovel
, He, instead, went up the road an
5 tried to sell the horse, and finally LEI
q it at the abOve-named place, the an
} NAL being driven until it was exhaust
: ed. VIM. NJ. Lewis learned from a
/ acquaintance who had come on tn
b Clyde to Woodland Beach, that such
team had been left there, which NJ
Grieves very fortunately found VIZ
his.
REV. Mr.. WILSON, at the close of til
service on Sunday at the NJ. f. Churc
called attention to the great loss I
fire in Delmar, in a number of familie
clothing, food and everything gon
and said as no action had been takG
by the town, he would like that col
]
, for their relief. The basket was simp
passed around for the loose change
% it were, and some $50 contribute
This, considering the congregation W
somewhat scattered, others detaint
a by the warm weather and some
/ them not prepared for such announc
ment, was quite good, the families f
IN whom it was given being personal
n unknown to the givers.
