SMYRNA AND VICINITY.
Dogdays end next Tuesday.
SunhOwers are in full bloom.
Watermelons whet the appetite.
A good hiding place--a tannery.
And the weather man still lives.
The taxidermist is out for the stuff.
The song of the shirt-''I'm all done |
up"
The oysters vacation is drawing to
a close.
Bargains in pantaloons of all kinds,
at Edw. G. Walls,
It's a smart man that can put on airs
this kind of weather.
Trunks, valises, telescopes-al kinds
at Edw. G. Walls. 4

Building, Smyrna Del.
There's some consolation in the fact
that the days are getting shorter.
A new lot of umbrellas, very cheap,
quality good, at Edw. G. Walls. T
1t seems to be never too hot to play
base ball or to take a spin on a bicycle
Women dress to please men, it is
said, and yet not one man in twenty
can tell what the dear creatures wear.
Most human beings, while revelling
in pleasure. still wish for more. This
is particularly applicable to the Sum
mer season.
Women lead in many advances. No
dude has yet been bold enough to wear
his necktie on the back of his neck
while sober.
The places of public resort are not so
well patrOnized as usual in the Sum
mer season. The reason must be the
unsettled condition of general bust
ness.
Why not take advantage of these
summer days and have your photo
graph taken by J. r. Cummings? He
is here every Wednesday and his work
speaks for itself. T
NOTICE-NOtice is hereby given that
