Smyrna times., 1893-05-10

A novel game is announced for this
place Thursday, 18th inst. A young
Ladies base ball club styled the "Cin-
cinnati Aeds" is to play scrub nine
of our male players. The place will
be inclOsed with canvas.
IT would be worth your time to visit |
the second floor Tor the youths and J
boys clothing Department. at Edw. G. j
Walls, as it's filled with new and at |
tractive spring goods, and you can de-
pend on the quality being as represen-
ted and a moderate price.
The straw riders were out last night,
the first this season. They were so
numerous last season as to make peO-
pie tired but the party last night dis
pensed with the horns and moved
along to the tintinabulations of the
bells, which made music for them, and
disturbed no one else.
This is show day. The young folks
were disappointed in not fndidg them
here early in the morning, being de-
layed until nearly ten o'clock by three
of the cars being derailed near Ridge
ley. The show grOnnd is over the
pond, thus avoiding the Town license
of $40. --
Alexander Thomas, residing near
Murphy's mill who was arrested by
constable Weldon on Monday, for
beating John Postles with club, both
colored, was fded 1852 by Squire
Cooper, including costs. He was also
held in $50. for his appearance at court
for carrying concealed deadly weapon
"a revolver.
THE Ladies Mite Society held very
pleasant sociable at the M. f. parsOn-
age Friday evening. A basket was
placed in the hallway, the guest being
expected to leave silver Offering for
the benefit of the society. The sum of
/ S26.25 was thus realized. The rain in
the latter part of the evening doubtless
kept a number away who would have
| otherwise been there.
THE remains of Howard w. SiscO
son of Andrew Sisco, who died at his
residence in Philadelphia last week OF
typhoid pneumonia, was brought to the
home of his parents in Smyrna and in
tered in GlenwOOd Cemetery Friday
afternoon. He has been residing in
! Philadelphia the most of the time since
he came to manhood, and had reached
only his 35th year. He leaves a wild
ow and four children.
THE Southern fruit and vegetable
season opened in earnest Monday
when the New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk Railroad Company started its
first special berry train from Norfolk
for Philadelphia. Bringing Southern
produce to Philadelphia and New York
markets constitutes one of the main
features of the road, and, as the supply
increases, the number of trains vii
have to be increased in proportion.
AN advance in the price of whole
sale sugar, which commenced sever
weeks ago has now reached the increas
ed rate of five-eights Of cent on th'
, pound. Raw sugars have reached one
, fourth of a cent more. The upwarl
tendency arose in the European mar
kets and has at length affected tn
} United States. In a general way,
, has of course had a reflex on retail tic
Ires. But retailers have not yet mar
, ked up the price beyond the old figure
of 6 cents. 1t is reported that the raN
crop is % per cent short in Europe an
2 the West Indies, that is to say on tn
, beet and cane crops.
ROBERT H. HILL, who has six acre
of Strawberries on his fathers farm L
r the ALLEY" reports his prospects yer

near this town, named elsewhere, h

confronted right at the beginning {
