AN exchange in discussing the pecul.
iarities of the mouth has the following
to say: "SOme mouths look like peaches
and cream aud some like hole chopped
into brick wall to admit new door
or window. The mouth is hot bed OF
toothaches, the bungh0le of oratory
and a baby's crOwning glory. 1t is
patrlOtIsm's fountain head and the tool
chest for pie. Without it the politician
would be a wanderer on the face of the
earth and the cO.neter would 90 down
to an unhOnOred grave. 1t is the
grocer's friend, the orators pride and
the dentists hope"
THE Smyrna High School played
their first game of football last Friday
against the Noxall A. A an opposing
team OF this town, in a brilliant contest.
The score was to 0 in favor of the
High School, Denney making the
touch down just before the game was
called. The interference of LeFevre
and Denney was noticeable feature OF
the game. Lovers of athletic sports
would be pleased to see the High
School play some visiting teams this
fall, as we understand our team has
been putting up some excellent practice
games. Why not play the Conference
Academy of Dover?

learned the drug business with Ashcraft
q Clifton, of this town, taking after
that time a degree at the MARYLAND
College of Pharmacy, have bought
out the drug store of DIR. Samuel
A. Buchanan, Elkton, MARYLAND.
and left to set in business there Mon

young men grow up in this town and
then when opportunity affords they
leave US to gain livelihood elsewhere.
Messrs. Beck and Startling are enter
prising young men and we have no
doubt but that they will meet with
success in their new field.
CAPT. CALDWELL of the Delaware
Line in the Revolutionary War, who
kept up the humOrs of camp life by the
hghting instincts of his famous "Blue
Hens Chickens" has kept his name
perpetuated where others equally brave
have gone into oblivion, but the breed
OF chickens was thought to have entire
ly gone out. This assumption, how
ever, seems not to be correct, for d. c..
Strough, living on the Daniel Palma
tary" farm, down the Neck, has what
he claims to be the "Blue Hen" breed
and thinks them superior to the Leg.
horn for laying, and when crossed with
the Plymouth Rock, he has a superior
fowl both for eggs and meat. He got
a start with them some three years ago
and has in his brood of this variety
now about forty, five or six of them be-
ing cockerels.
