PHOTOGRAPHERS LAWRENCE took a
picture of the Presbyterian Sunday
school room yesterday. 1t is to be sent
% an architect with view of enlarge
nent, or other changes to give more
'oom.
THE 21st Annual Catalogue of the
Conference Academy is before us. 1t
makes an interesting pamphlet of 36
Dages. and besides the usual course of
studies, pupils in attendance, &C., gives
the whereabouts of the successive
classes.
THE tomato crop which was not
making the proper progress because of
hot dry weather, ought to be doing |
we'll this week, but it is doubtful if the |
vines are as we'll SCI with young fruit |
as they ought to be, to anything like |
equal the yield of the past two years.
WHEAT, corn, rye, oats and potatoes
are selling now at near the the same
price. One of our citizens who has
been farming for fifty years, says he
never saw it this way before. 1t looks
as if there would have to be a recast of
farming, as with other occupations.
The Methodist Sunday school will have
their annual picnic at Woodland Beach
tomorrow They will go
down in teams, and if they empty the
town as usual, Smyrna will be rather
dull for the day. The Presbyterian
Sunday school has also decided to go
to Woodland on the same day.
Do not forget the smyrna Knitting
Mill Excursion to Woodland Beach,
which comes off next Wednesday. The
Steamer Ella will leave the Landing at
7.30 O'Clock. Messrs. Bitter & Luesher
have taken pains to make this pleas
ant trip to all. Round trip ticket for
adults 80 cents; children % cents.
THE shower that fell for an hour or
two on Saturday afternoon, part of the
time with a considerable downpOur,
seemed to be centered over the Smyrna
millpond and the streams running
thereto. The rush of water caused an
early hosting of the gates, which had
to be kept up all night and into the
next day.
THE heated term that has been CON-
paratively unbroken for FIVE or six
weeks, it is hoped came to an end, in
both the high temperature and extreme
dFyness, with the easterly storm that
set in early Sunday morning. We
have but few summers where the
mercury has risen above 900 as often as
it has this.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wm. B. Megear have
the warm sympathy of their friends il
the loss of their only child, Edwin
Hall, which died at an early hour on
Friday morning from that scourge o.
the summer-cholera ipfantum. This
was more than usually manifest by th'
number in attendance at the funera
Saturday evening.
A singular feature of the summe
showers this season has been an ap
parent avoidance of the water course o
! the rivera choice line usually 70
/ thunder storms. Until the easterl
o storm of Sunday, Woodland Beach
Collins Beach and other along-shor
7 places, have been almost without
! drop Of water since May.
