farm to give it his entire attention.
WALTER D. JEFFERSON. who was
responsible for and reproduced the

made an engagement with the Hose
Company of that town to produce the
same drama there with the aid of local
talent, at a near date. MiddletOwn
doubtless has the material and has the
opportunity under the direction of Mr..
Jefferson to bring out a most pOpu-
lar entertainment
To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. -
Kindly permit me in behalf of the as
sociated Orchestras of Smyrna to ex-
press nv sincere acknowledgment both
TO those who so ably contributed to
make the presentation of Joshua
WhitcOmb," success and also to the
pnblic who encouraged the effort with
such generous patronage. The net
financial result to the Orchestra
nearly O.-will be used to uuify and
develop the orchestral talent of our
town for the production ola light opera
at an early date.
Yours truly,
G b. TAYLOR.
