and counties and to relieve the people
OF present oppressive taxation. But
few days ago a young man in Middle
town asserted in one of the hotels that
ne had never paid a cent of tax in his
life but had receipt given him and he
voted the Democratic ticket. There
are hundred of such cases.
"But it is bribery to pay taxes of
party followers! And it is robbery to
deprive men of their votes by means of
party machinery, and robbery is worse
than bribery. When "Zeke Cooper"
took Tax Collector Powell to Philadel
phia and hid him in hotel that pro
lessor in the Conference Academy and
other Republicans might be deprived
OF their votes, to prevent their paying
tax to the county, he was guilty of a
crime, if not a legal crime, a moral
crime, for the equal of which better
citizens have suffered years of impris-
Onment."

Skating Carnival on Lake Como.

Lake Como, Familiarity called Smyr-
ma mill pond, has been the scene of an
enjoyable skating carnival this week.
The ice, over four inches thick,
smooth and brittle, has been very
tempting 10 deyotees of skating, and as
consequence most every one, who
could make any pretentions at this art
ut all, we're found down to this beautiful
little lake in the afternoons. Society
turned out in force and the ladies
formed an important acquisition to the
numerous skating parties. 1t has been
a round Of pleasure for the school
bhildren. No better skating has been
INDUCED in about this vicinity for two
years past
While all this pleasure is going on
our ice men are not forgetting to lay
in their summer supply, and all day
long wagons have been rolling up and
down our thoroughfares, making
plenty Of dust and noise. But il is
likely the opportunity of winter and
most everybody who owns an ice house
is taking advantage Of it.
Those who have had their ice houses
filed are: w. H. Carr, Geo. M.
Stevenson, Jecob Leinberger, Willard
g. Pierce, 9. H. Register, w. A.
FAIRIES, Mrs, Maria Smith, The Smyrna
House, The Delaware House, Mrs.
Eva X Bohmler, Robert Denpey, w.
d. Hudson, l.. M. Price, the Smyrna
and others. A number Of these houses
have been filed by A Lee Cummins,
who owned the ice privilege at the
lower end of the lake. Others have
filed their supply from Denney'a
Duck Creek pond.

The spirit of boyish recklessness is
always in evidence, but especially so
in this community the past year, not
only the small boys, but also those of
larger growth, as has been a matter of
complaint both by day and night A
passion among the little youngsters
has been the breaking out of window
glass-they make such nice mark for
a stone by hand or sling. The public
school building has been an especial
sufferer on days when not used. On
Monday a boy was caught in the act of
firing at window panes in this building:
he was arrested, taken before a Justice
of the Peace, the result being the pay
ment of clever fine by his parents for
the offence.

The two weeks of mild weather that
embraced the holidays was changed to
decidedly winter weather the latter
part Of last week. It was almost as
cold during the day ais at night the
mercury being below 20 degrees
through the day. on Sunday morning
the thermometer registered 8 degrees
(some several degrees below this }
Monday 10 degrees, Tuesday 20 degrees
and this morning 10 degrees. The rat
tie of numerous wagons going to and
from the ice field, quick stepping
skaters, male OF female, on their way
to the millpond for an hour or two's
sport, and the quick impulse given to
all outside movements, has made the
week clever annex to the departing
holidays. To this is added the further
striking feature that the roads are al
most as dusty as in the summer season.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SMYRNA Times:
The I. Q. K, of FELTON,, wishes to
say to the readers of the SMYRNA TINES
that the organization of that club was
effected without thought of the B. NJ.
S. X. of Smyrna, for the principal
feature of the former society is literary
work; mental improvement being the
object, while the social idea is second
ary. Its members congratulate the
B. b. S. X. on it's social achievements,
and wish for its continued success, but
they claim credit from Onlookers for
originality rather than ambitiOnless
imitation. The I. Q. X.
