DOings.
Geo. V. Massey, Esq, of Philadel-
phia, was in Smyrna Saturday morn
ing, the first time in some four years.
1t seemed quite natural to see him on
our streets, because when a resident of
Dover, in the practice of law and at
torney for one of our banks, he was in
Smyrna almost every week, and was
hailed so often for business or personal
friendship as to require q longer time
to make the cars than was required by |
most men. His duties as solicitor for
| the PENNSYLVANIA railroad are very eX-
acting, but he broke away on Saturday
| to visit Smyrna and Dover, his prin
| cipal business here being to visit his
| old friend, Captain John Mustard, |
| whose span of life has been heightened |
out much beyond the usual allotment, |
being SO years old his next birthday, |
July Goth. He spent two hours with |
| Captain Mustard, and found his men, |
Ory and perceptions as bright, he says, |
as in the days of yore, and he will |
ever remember the visit as a most
pleasant occasion They talked over
the incidents when they were in the
board of Bank Directors together, and
the two winters the Captain spent in
Dover as State Senator, when Mr..
Massey as a young attorney was i'm
pressed deeply by Mr.. Mustard's
strength of character. A mutual en-
joyment was the result of the meeting
on Saturday. Mr.. Massey left for
Dover on the noon train.

/ was in Smyrna Saturday afternoon.
John H. Hoffecker and Walter o.
5 Hoffecker went to Wilmington on Sat

e Presbyterian Church for many years,
{ as also President of the Board of Edu-
n cation of Wilmington, he had won the

It neral was a large one, of those
