NEW STEAMBOAT FOR SMYRNA.
Farmers and Merchants Line Will Have
the Steamer Hildegarde.

The new steamboat, which has been
purchased by the Farmers and Mer-
chants Steamboat Company, as an
nOunced in last weeks issue, arrived
in these waters from Westerly, r. 1.
last Saturday, and has since been
viewed by many of our town folks.
The Steamer "Hildegarde" is neat
looking excursion boat. Manager J.
W. Watkins and Secretary and Treas
urer Clarence B. Raymond of the COM
pany, superintended her cruise from
Westerly, r. L., through the canal to
New York, and thence to Smyrna. The
new craft is purely an excursion boat,
being built for this purpose, to ply be-
tween Westerly and a summer resort
known as Watch Hill, twelve miles
distant in Rhode Island State. The
length of her keel is 80 feet, over all,
100 feet. She has an 1S-foot beam, and
the depth of her hold is feet. She is
propelled by triple expansion engine,
9Bx14x24, and has a Roberts Water
Tube Boiler, with 40 square feet of
CRATE. The stroke of the engine is IA
inches. The wheel is of iron, feet 3
inches in diameter, s feet pitch, and
her speed is rated at IA miles an hour
She draws about feet of water.
Among the improvements on the
''Hildegarde' is an electric light sys-
/ TEN, of which there are some 30 incan-
descent lights, properly placed. In
addition to this, she possesses a 1000
candle power search light, which will
! doubtless be of much use in coming in
and going out the creek, as well as
for the entertainment of the passen-
gers.
There is already a small ladies'
cabin on the boat, but the manage.
ment, we understand, propose to re-
construct the interior of this excursion
boat by placing on her improved sa-
looms, staterooms &c, to adapt her to
passenger and freight boat combined
1t is the intention of the company to
have her in readiness to start on theil
scheduled route Monday, the End o.
October.
For the present, Manager J. w
Watkins, who holds necessary papers
will captain the boat, and the office il
Smyrna will be temporarily in charge
of Mr.. S. J. Reynolds.
Smyrna times., 1899-09-27
CANNING FACTORIES CLOSING.
YIELD STILL ABUNDANT, BUT SUPPY OF
CANS EXHAUSTED.
COunselman Company Pack About 100000
Cans, and John H. HOffecker
About 100000.

The superabundant tomato yield is
still on, though the can makers sup
ply has been largely exhausted for
week.
The Counselman Bros. with pack
of about 5000 cans, against about
$50, 900 cans last year, ran out of cans
and stopped the middle of last week,
with number of tons of fruit still in
the hands of contractors. John H.
Hoffecker exceeded some time ago his
usual quantity, but he has managed to
keep in a supply of cans. The rush
was on him last week and has been
so far this, some 5000 baskets a day,
but it is not expected there will be
many after this week. His pack will
possibly reach 900, 900 cans. The above
packers ship mainly on the Brady, the
latter carrying up 800 cases Monday.
The same difficulty of getting cans has
been the complaint of scores of packers
on the Peninsula.
The colony of Bohemians who have
been employed at Counselman's Fac
tory, began to take their departure
yesterday.

METHODIST CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS.
The Heating Apparatus Being Put In Place
By Contractor II. O. Miller.

The boiler for the steam heating of
the M. E. Church came Friday, and
on Monday afternoon, Harry A. Mil
Ter, of Wilmington, the contractor,
came with workmen, and ten of the
nineteen radiators. The work of get
ing the boiler, which weighs three tons
and is eleven feet two inches in length,
into the cellar, was easily accomplish
ed and in comparatively short time.
The workmen commenced yesterday
to put it in place, and this done, will
commence laying the pipes to the upper
rooms. 1t will take two or more weeks
to do this. The main auditorium will
have six radiators with two in the
organ loft-eight in all. There will
also be two in the vestibule, four in
the lecture room, one in each of the
four rooms fronting the latter, and one
in the library room at its rear. The
painting of the windows, doors, &C.,
will be done next month.

SAILED FOR LONDON.
w. G. Anthony and John P. LeFevre We're

W. G. Anthony and John P. LeFevre We're
Assigned to the Steamship GeOrgianna.
Messrs. W. G. Anthony and John
p. LeFevre left last Thursday morn
ing for New York, to be in readiness
and make final arrangements for their
sail to London. They were assigned
to the Steamship "Georgianna" of the
Transatlantic Line. The boat is 450
feet long, and fortunately carried
abroad nothing but horses. The boys
entered upon their duties at O'Clock
Friday afternoon, and at eight O'Clock
Saturday morning, the "Georgianna"
set sail for her port in London.
The trip across will necessitate more
or less work for the Smyrna contin-
gent, but not so irksome as many
think. They are favored in having a
"pull'' with the Captain, and this will
give them more privileges than ordi-
narily is the case They have letters of
introduction IN London, and hope to
map out an interesting five-days's S
sightseeing in that great metropolis.
On their return trip they will have no
work to do.

FOUR PROGRESSIVE FARMERS.
A Fertile District Beyond Duck Greek That
Has Been Successfully Developed.


The short road between the State
Road at Duck Greek and the road
that merges into New Castle county
from Smyrna Landing is one that
shows progressive and industrious
farming. The first is that of Walter T.
Massey. In purchasing the ''Stephen
son farm" Mr.. Massey got a good
dwelling, but little else. AS tract it
is not so large as other farms of the
vicinity, but in fruit culture Mr.. Mas
sey is genius. In plums, grapes and
and pears he has made it in a few years
one of the best paying farms in the
vicinity of Smyrna.
The second place is the "WoOds
farm" of which Daniel Thompson be-
came the terre-tenant last spring. 1t
only takes a glance to show that Mr..
Thompson knows how to take care of a
farm. The corn shocks 40 rows wide,
shows a better crop than has been
grown on this land for years, and not a
weed in the broad expanse. 1t looked
like business a day or two ago to see
Mr.. Thompson seated on disc harrow
with four heavy draft horses abreast
preparing the ground for the wheat
drill
Next to this comes the farm of
Theodore W. Cavender. The field for
wheat is just like that of Mr.. Thomp-
son for neatness and cleanliness, only
with larger punches of corn, for Mr..
G. has been here for number of
years. He has for a long while en-
joyed the distinction of being a good
farmer.
The fourth and last is that of Millard
F. Reed, on the "Crow Farm" He
has only been the owner some two
years, but marked change has taken
place in that time. Commencing next
to the farm of Mr.. Cavender he needed
no better pattern than his in getting
his hedge in good shape. Then has
followed neat and attractive fence
around the lawn, a graded roadway
leading to the house, and in another
year or two this place that had very
much of run down" appearance
will doubtless bloom out again in it
former attractiveness.
Smyrna times., 1899-09-27
WILL LOCATE AT WESTCHESTER.
Slmuel NJ. HOffecker, This Town, and Will
liam Lockwood, Philadelphia, Start in
the Shirt Manufacturing Business.

We stated in late issue that Mr..
Samuel NJ. Hoffecker, formerly of this
town, and Mr.. William Lockwood,
both of whom have been with Wana-
maker & Brown, Philadelphia, for the
past several years, were going into the
shirt manufacturing business.
In settling on place, they have re-
ceived fiattering inducements to locate
at West Chester, Pa, and have decided
to open up their factory there. The
Daily Local NetOS of that town in its
issue of Friday said
The stocking factory building, be-
longing to Plummer f. Jetferis and
standing on a court off of Barnard
street, has been secured. The men
who are to take up the business are
young men and mean to go energeti-
cally to work to make it paw. The
building will not need much alteration
or improvement at present. They will
not start with less than twenty-five
sewing machines, and it will take that
number of operators, who, if not al
ready trained, will have to learn the
business.
The new industry will likely give
employment to considerable number
of young people. The building rented
is a three-story one, with ample floor
! space, and if suitable help can be Sc
cured 100 persons may be employed be
fore many months go by.
West Chester claims 10000 pOpula
ton, and is situated in the midst of
beautiful country, twenty miles from
Philadelphia. Messrs. Lockwood
Hoffecker have been received yer,
warmly by the people, and feel of tn
several places they had under advise
ment, that West Chester offered tn
greatest advantages. West Cheste
will celebrate its centennial two week
hence, taking three days for it-OC
tOber II, ~ and 18th.

CHRISTIAN HOLINESS ASSOCIATION.
Society Disbanded and Rev. Walter Lord
Left for Reading, Pa.

Rev. Walter Lord, who came here a
year ago and conducted through the
winter the meetings of the Christian
Holiness Association, left last eek for
a small town near Reading, Pa, where
his parents reside. He had the mis-
fortune to have his leg broken by the
kick of a horse at the farm of his
father-in-law, Mr.. Chas. H. Mattiford
near town, in the early summer, and
has since been a great sufferer. The
Association, which had been growing
weaker for some months, disbanded,
simultaneous with his unfortunate ac-
cident.

MISS ELIZABETH TURNER WEOS.
Has Become the Wife OF Capt. Robert W.
GOsIee, of Camden. N. J.


GOsIee, of Camden, n. J.
Miss r. Elizabeth Turner, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Enoch Turner
of this town, was quietly married
to Captain Robert w. Goslee, of Cam
den, n. J., Thursday evening last, at
eight o'clock. The ceremony took
place at the parsonage of the First
Church of Camden, and was performed
by the Rev. John Handy, d. ID.
The groom was formerly of George
town, and is now employed as captain
of the Str. Vesper, of the Clyde Line,
plying between Philadelphia and
New York.
On Thursday evening following the
wedding, a number of relatives and
friends of Capt. and Mrs. Robert Cos
lee, gave them quite surpsise, by ser
enading them in true calthum-
plan style, with all kinds of horns,
bells and non-musical instrument,
after which they entertained the newly
married couple right royalty, at Mrs.
Robert Gilmore's delightful home.
The bride and groom received cOmpli-
ments and best wishes for their fu-
ture happiness.

DOGS KILL FIFTY-FIVE TURKEYS.
NJ. F. Reed Sustains Considerable Loss From
the Ravages of CANNES.

Mrs. NJ. F. Reed, on the "Crow
farm, just over the creek from this
town, had loss again on Sunday from
an attack of dogs, presumably from this
town. These losses have been sus-
tanned several times during the sum
mer, the CANNES invariably getting
away before they can be caught up
with. The flock of turkeys that started
with So has thus been reduced to 10.
For the same reason Mr.. Reed has had
to dispense with his flock of sheep,
which otherwise would have been
very profitable.

SMYRNA FOOTBALL TEAM.
In Training For Some Interesting Contests
During the Fall.

The young men of Smyrna recently
organized a football eleven and are
now in training with the view of hav-
ing a number of contests during the
fall. They use the old baseball grounds
at the southern terminus of Delaware
street for their "gridiron," and are
being coached and captained by Mr..
Frank Tunis, of Clayton, with the
assistance of Prof. G. H. LeFevre.
Geo. d. Taylor has been elected man
ager of the team.
