KINGS DAUGHTERS PICNIC.
Had a Delightful Day at Font tIill," the
Home of Mrs. N. Elizabeth Spru.
ance, Thursday.

One of the most delightful picnics
the Circle of Kings Daughters have
ever held, came off at Font Hill, ;" the
beautiful home of Mrs. NJ. Elizabeth
Spruance near town last Thursday
afternoon and evening. The ladies
could not have picked out better day
The hot oppressive weather of the week
had a tendency to dampen the ardor
for picnics, but the arrangeme ent had
been made, and on Thursday afternoon
they went out in most every way pos
sible, bent on having a good time.
When they had once gotten settled
there, they found that they had one of
the most delightful spots they had
struck during the hot spell. They
were greeted with most cordial hos
pitality by the hostess, Mrs. Spruance,
and the rest OF the day was spent in a
free and easy manner on the verandas
and about the lawn. Tables were
spread at the supper hour and such a
feast that they sat down to was de-
light and pleasure to ALL They had
just gotten through supper when a
storm cloud came up. 1t resulted only
in blow, and was soon over.
In the evening the circle and guest s
gathered about and INDUCED in some
chorus singing, as the twilight deep
ened into night. Toward the close of
the evening a refreshing repast was
served out on the lawn. Caterer
George M. Stevenson furnished the ice
cream and it was served by the ladies
to all present.
As each member of the Circle was
allowed the privilege of inviting a
guest, men were not debarred. The
party numbered over sixty, and SO
thoroughly did they enjoy the Occas-
sion, that a vote of thanks was extended
to Mrs. Spruance for the use of her
lawn, and the cordial hospitality with
which they were received. Indeed
they voiced it one of the most delight
full picnics they have ever given.

Despite the fact that it was one of
the hottest days of this summer hun
dred or more gathered at the Belmont
Driving Park last Thursday afternoon
to witness some interesting heats.
There were horses from Leipsic, Dover,

fine sport. John G. Blizzard was
starter, and the judges were Messrs.
Herbert Price of near town and j. Peck

Ten Berries TO a Quart.

We are indebted to J. Spencer Lap
ham, Goldsboro, Md, for two quarts
of strawberries, sent on Thursday,
when the crop was withering here
under the hot suns of several days,
that were remarkable for their fine
quality. The box containing the larg-
est ones, called the Dewey" we
found on counting, was filled with 10
berries. They were very irregular in
shape, but of fine quality, and pro-
digious in size, as might be inferred,
when we state that the largest hereto
fore received were 20 to the quart.
The other box was of the variety known
as Candy Prize" our latest berry, a
good shipper, and more highly priced
where there is plenty of sugar. In
the line of fine berries, Mr.. Lap
ham stands at the head of the class.

man of the Opera House committee re-
ported that there was misunderstood
ing concerning the nature of the work
to be done, and as the lowest bidder
did not take into consideration that
the sanded paint was to be burned off,
and refused to do the work at the price
quoted and the committee was obliged
to ask for new bids. This was done
and when they were opened it was
found that the lowest bid was appar-
emily higher than the committee were
want to expend, so they brought the
matter before the Council to settle
The bids were read as follows: J. E.
Carter, $147.5O; Mannering & Will
liams, $4,000. Both bids made al
lowance for two coats of paint, and the
burning off of all sanded work &c. 1t
was found that the lowest bidder on
this night was the highest bidder when
the Council took action upon it at the
last meeting. Councilmen Reynolds
and Fowler thought the lowest bid too
high, and seemed to feel that the work
could be done cheaper to the saving OF
the town. To get the matter before
the Councils. J. Reynolds moved that
both bids be rejected and the matter
laid over until the autumn weather,
when it was thought much more adj
visable to have the work done. Coun.
Gilman Fowler seconded and the ques.
tion was carried. Councilman An
thony (who thought that when the
Council asked for bids they should re
ceive them being the only one to dis
sent.
On motion the Council adjourned.

FARMERS BOAT LINE.
Asitators Hold Another Meeting at Boyer
& Co.'S Office Saturday and Decide
TO Form a Company.

Farmers representing most every
district in this vicinity within radius
of twelve miles from Smyrna, held a
a second meeting at the office of Boyer
& Co. last Saturday afternoon to dis
cuss and formulate plans for neV
line. Addresses and reports were
made by j. A. Latta, President; Will
son I. Cavender, B. f. David, John
2. Jones, Puruell Lewis, J. W. Wat
kins, James T. Truax. John W. Ford.
George R. Donovan, Harry Brevoir
and others, ard the feeling seems
earnest for establishing a Farmers
Line" at as early a date as possible.
The enthusiasm was strong when all
the districts were heard from. 1t is:
reported that considerable more money
will be subscribed if one trip week
will be made to Leipsic. This offer
will no doubt be taken up by the new
company.
/ 1t seems probable at this writing
that the Dennev Brothers will bring
the Steamer EudeaVor here as soon as
it is through the busy season between
PennsgrOve and Philadelphia. 1t is
also understood that if the Denney
Brothers can receive the hearty sup
port of the farmers, they will start the
'Str. Endeavor" here and give the
new company the option of buying
her within year if they want her
This boat is one of the finest plying on
! the river.
A committee composed of Messrs.
H. d. Boyer, James Robinson and W
). Hardcastle, were appointing to draw
up a set of contracts concerning tn e
operation of the new line and set of
agreements for the farmers to sign.
In the meantime Mr. J. w. Watkins
is looking after the interests of the new
line, and he will report the condition
of his efforts at another meeting of the
farmers, to be held at the same place
next Saturday afternoon.

interests. Tie change goes into effect
Immediately.
At meeting of the Directors last
Thursday, it vas decided to keep the

painted by J. E. Carter with this end
in view. 1t was also decided to change
