Smyrna times., 1892-05-25
THE following is the timetable of
the Steamer Ella for June:

IF the boys everywhere we're like
some of the boys in Smyrna, there
would soon be no song or insectiver-
Gus birds. We hear of one family
where the eggs of twelve different
varieties have been collected, one of
the last nests robbed being that of an
innocent little wren, that has a hard
time to live for the sparrow. These
boys prowl about the woods like fer
rets, and climb the trees like squirrels,
and some of them are cruel enough to
hit the mother birds with stones from
their sling shots. These boys ought to
be made to feel the force of the law,
and any family from which collec-
ton of eggs is shown as a curiosity,
should be set down as cruel in their
| instincts.
REV. h. w. TODD, editor of the Con-
terance Herald, in speaking of his visit
here Sunday week says: considering
the circumstances, the congregations
were good, and the speaker enioyed
the food he shared with his attentive
hearers. The music and singing was
excellent, and the editor heartily con-
graduates the choir on the advance.
ment it has made since the last session
of Conference in Smyrna. The editor
also visited and briefly addressed both
departments of the Sunday. school, and
attended the evening prayer service of
the young peoples Christian Edeavor
Society, which was led by a devoted
young lady that evening. Our young
sisters in Smyrna regret that there are
so few young men willing to Join them
in these labors of love for Christ and
humanity. Let our dear young friends
weary not in well-doing.' There is
a promise of reaping to those who
faint not. The Smyrna NJ. f. Church
! building is both commOdious and
| slightly, and the acoustic properties of
the audience room are well-nigh per-
feet. 1t must be great pleasure to
a pastor to minister in such place to a
people so intelligent and dappreciative. !"
GEO. F. Brown, who is a good deal
on the road thinks it a very poor trip
that does not furnish one good Joke at
least, and which he is very happy at
relating 10 the Bill TraVers style, had
an incident week or SO ago on a trip
down the Peninsula. 1t so happened
that the place he lodged for the night
was on one of the lateral roads that
| required an early breakfast to make
the train. This was talked over the
night before and the breakfas prom
ised on time, but it was the cooks night
out, and like many other cooks, when
the hour for early breakfast arrived
she had not put in an appearance.
Things looked very much as if Geo. +. T.,
would have to 60 without his break
fast, a thing he doesn't take to very
well, but the waiter cheered him up
with the announcement that if he
would be satisfied with eggs and bread
and butter and coffee, be, 1.-THE cook, J
could prepare the breakfast. This, of
course was satisfactory under the cir
cumstances, and as between pOached,
fried and soft boiled, he chose the lat
ter. The waiter was gone very long
time, seemingly long enough to boil
two or three patches of eggs, when he
returned aud in the OleVerest way sug-
gested to Mr.. Brown that he had bet
ter have his eggs fried, that they were
not fresh and IOOuldnt smell UeU soft
boiled. Brown by this time was in
pretty much of hurry, as time was
growing short, and he replied testify to
the waiter, very well and if you have
any dead cats or rats laying around
just please put them in too,
