AN OUTBREAK IN VENEZUELA.
! Revolutionary Movement said 10
he Now I'm Progress in
Venezuela.

Washington. Sept. AFTER an un-
usually long period of peace, trouble
has again appeared in Venezuela, and
revolutionary movement is now in
progress. The information has come
to the state department, from an un-
official source, but one believed to he
trustworthy. The extent of the move
ment is not known here, but as there
have been for some time past rumors
of serious discomfort. il would not be
surprising if this last manifestation
should prove to be of large proper
TORS.
rs the first duty deyolying upon tho
government in such ease. is TO 10 safe
guard the interests and lives of Amert
can citizens. it is probable that orders
will issue to send a naval vessel 10
Laguayra or an adjacent port. This
detail probably will fall 10 the Nash
Vile. which is about TO go south TO re
live the AIachias of patrol duty in the
Caribbean set.

DEWEY ENJOYING HIMSELF.
The American Admiral Ashore at
GibraItar-HOspitab Officers
of the British Garrison

New York, Sept. IA dispatch to
the World from Gibraltar says: Moth
ing could be in more striking contrast
than Admiral Dewey's surroundings al
the hotel here and that awaits him in
New York. He came ashore at eight
o'clock, his Chinese servants bringing
his small steamer trunk The hotels
here are poorer than those in small
country towns in the United States.
The officers of the garrison either have
houses or live at mess. The hotel
where the admiral is stopping is no
exception. lie and Lieut.. Brumby
have two rooms adjoining, as large as
the hotel affords. such as rent for 81
a week in New York. But the rooms
are quiet, and the admiral has made
himself quite comfortable.
In the morning he visited the gar
rison library, and at the Mediterranean
club he took luncheon with Consul
Sprague.
In the afternoon Maj. Slade, com
manding the artillery forces, and Maj
Gen. Sir Henry Colyille, commanding
the infantry forces garrisoned at Gi.
braltar. as well as other officers, called.
Among these was Col. Dundas, assist
ant adjutant general, who was COM
manding the troops on the British
transport from India, which gave pas
sage to the then Capt. Dewey, who
was just recovering from a surgical
operation. The admiral never forgot
Dundas' kindness, and the colonel has
always remembered the good stories
CAPITA. Dewey told. They met here
for the first time in 13 years. The
hospitality of the club and of the
messes was extended TO the officers
OF the wardroom of the Olympia. Coal
ing began early this morning, and the
Olympia will depart September 10.

Rural Mail Delivery.

Frederic Eden Bach, one of the
three appointees by the Government
to introduce special mail delivery. was
III Smyrna last week, with this end in
view. In company with Postmaster
Megear he took ride over the pro-
posed route, viz: down the State Road
to the Garrison Mill, then down the
Shows Neck road to Ravmond's church
and down White Hall Neck, thence
across Dutch Neck, to lower Sew
erson's Neck, and thence by the school
house and Rothwell's Landing back to
this town-a distance of eighteen
miles.
The object is to have a man start
after the arrival of the morning mails.
say eleven O'Clock or fifteen minutes
before, and deposit the mails at the
gates of residences on the route in
boxes provided to hold letters to mail.
or receive letters or papers in the daily
delivery of the carrier. The parties
above named went over the route the
other day in little over three hours.
The principal thing with the farmers
VIII be to have lock boxes that the
carrier can readily get from and deposit
the mail. 1t is understood that boxes
a, W h'A III RisSDS Ludu6 OI IRON, Dub
the matter of the kind of boxes rests
with the persons that are served. This
arrangement will include about all of
Duck Creek Hundred except those re-
naming in or near the towns of
Smyrna, Clayton and Brenford. Mr..
Bach proposes to get the delivery
started about the middle of January.
The object is to give the matter of
rural mail delivery trial, and it falls
to the lot of this vicinity to be one of
the three first places in the State to
give it test, and if proving satisfac-
tory here, will likely be extended to
Nothet places in the State. Chas. b.
Archer has been designated, we think,
for the carrier. The salary will start
at $500, and when the full Ioute is on,
increased to $780, The carrier will
not drive up to houses, and hence the
importance of having boxes along the
road for the accommodation of one or
more farmers. 1t is expected some
time later, in the spring, to add White
Hall Neck, which will make the route
about 20 miles long.

A PLEASANT RECEPTION.
Twentieth Century Club Affords a Pleasant
Social Event Of the
HOLIDAYS

One of the most pleasant events of
the Christmas Holidays was the re-
ception given bv the ladies
OF the Twentieth Century Club.
i'll their drawing room on Main street
last Thursday evening. The night
was beautiful, the temperature balmy
ana the weather conditions just such
as 10 draw a large attendance. The
drawing room was beautifully decora-
TED for the occasion with holly, mis-
tletoe and other evergreens, and this
against the pink, white and green col
ors of their beautiful drawing room,
made a scene that was comfortable
looking to say the least.
The guests were taken in hand by
the young ladies of the club as soon as
they had entered and introduced to the
Reception Committee, composed of the
Officers Committee and Chairmen of the
Twentieth Century Club of Smyrna.
Upon being received the guests were
allowed to move about the room in
social greeting in whatever way it sat-
isfied their hearts desire. There was
nothing stiff or formal about it. Ev-
erybody was given a cordial greeting
and from eight o'clock to ten, they
were coming and going. Each men,
Der and guest before leaving the draw
ing-room was served to a wholesome
repast of sandwiches and coffee.
The entertainment, in fact the ar
rangement Of the entire reception was
in the hands the Social Committee of
Twentieth Century Club, of which
Mrs. +. Il. Postles is chairman. Had
there been nothing else but the cordial
greeting of guests it would have been a
