POWDER EXPLOSION ACCIDENT
NATHAN FORD MEETS WITH INJURIES
WHILE BLASTING LOGS.
Necessary to Amputate His
Index Finger.

Thanksgiving Day proved to be an
unfortunate day to Mr.. Nathan Ford,
son of Daniel Ford residing
in "SnOw's Neck" four miles east of
the town. He was over to the resi-
idence of G. V. Scout, and the job was
completed with the exception of one.
He thought the fuse in it had gone
out, but such proved to be mistake,
for it exploded when he went to re-
charge the log. He received several
wounds about the face, but the worst
was on his right hand. He came to
DR.. Clifton in the afternoon, who
found it necessary to amputate the
index finger, which was crushed. He
was fortunate in not losing the whole
hand. He is recovering from the in
juries.

SONS OF DELAWARE.
Assignment of TOasts for the Annual Ban
quet on December 7th.

The Sons of Delaware, of Philadel-
phia, will have their annual banquet
on December 7th at the Hotel Walton,
and the members expect it to be the

dred and fifty to two hundred Blue

phia.

awarean," Hon. Jonathan Willis.

Citizenship, Its Duties and Re-
sponsibilities. Hon. Charles F. War
wick, Philadelphia.

The date, December 7th, is the ami.
versary of the ratification of the Con-
stitutiOn of the United States by the
State of Delaware and also the anniver.
sary of the birth of the society.
The Philadelphia Record says: ga
bitter fight for the presidency of the
/ Sons of Delaware is on, and the re-
suit of the election on December the
7th means much for the future of tn,
society. The trouble was precipitateC
by the nomination of r. Lowber Tenn
pie, of Palmyra, N. j., for president
in opposition to William I. Tilden, o
Philadelphia, who represents the mor'
active men in the organization.
"Mr. Temple is a son of ex-Gov
ernor Temple of Delaware, and has, i
is claimed by his friends, enough vote
pledged to insure his election.

COMPLIMENT TO FORMER SMYRNIAN.
The JeweIry Store Owned and Conducted
By S. II. Baynard a Former SmyrHian.

The JeweIry Store Owned and Conducted
By S. II. Baynard a Former SmyrHian.
The Wilmington Sunday Star pays
the following compliment to the bust
ness thrift and enterprises of Mr.. S.
H. Baynard, former Smyrna boy:
Sunday was the sixteenth anniver-
sary of the opening of his new place of
business at Fifth and Market streets,
by S. H. Baynard. This was bold
undertaking at the time, expansiODists
in business way were few in our city
in those days. Mr.. Baynard being one
of the pioneers in the erection of fine
business houses, he had great conf
dence in the growth and Importance of
our city, and he wanted to be in the
procession, it goes without saying that
his faith was we'll founded, and the
people of our city had equal confidence
in his methods of business, and have
given him all that was coming to him.
Mr.. Baynard is not selfish in busi-
ness wav. being satisfied with the por-
ton given him, with no desire to de-
prive his competitors of their share,
resorting to no film fam games, no
| from four dollars and a half, on ac-
count of blizzards or calam1ties. He
has one idea in his method that is to
secure responsible goods from respon-
sible makers and to sell them to re-
sponsible patrons and expects to be
held responsible for them.
The approaching holidays finds him
as usual fully prepared for the demands
of the times, his jewelry department
with all lines complete with the choic-
est works of art, in gold and precious
stones, ornaments for all ages and
conditions, more numerous this
season than ever.
The popularity of silver was never as
great as at present, and the silversmitt
fully realizes his opportunity, and evl
dences of his handiwork is on exhibi
ton at Fifth and Market streets.
Sixteen years in the music business
has also established the fact that l
paws to deal only in goods OF reputable
makers. Mr.. Baynard retaining the
agencies for the same pianos ano
organs that he commenced busines
with, going right along, receiving. sat
isfaction from the maker, and givlnl
satisfaction to the buyer, and havinI
good stock with pedigree all right
He is not compelled to exchange steed
for every seasons races. He present
to our people goods of stability AM
reliability and confidently relies o
the intelligent judgement of buyer
who desire to remember their friend
this Christmas with a gift possessln
merit.
Smyrna times., 1899-12-06

House was pretty we'll crowded, and
before the curtain rose the audience
was treated to some music by Watkins
Orchestra. The entertainment was
distinctly of a home talent character.
The stage settings were a noticeable
feature of the occasion, especially in
the first part, where the drawing room
was made very realistic by the arrange
ment of curtains and other bright
effects.
Part first opened with music by Wat
kins' Orchestra, and tenor solo by
Mr.. Walter o. Hoffecker, after which
a piece of gossip in one act, entitled
''Six Cups of Chocolate" was rendered.
The cast of characters in this short lit
tie play, as we'll as the one which fol-
lowed, were given in former issues of
the TIMES and are unnecessary to re-
produce here.
The second part was entitled 1.-The
Snow Cap Sisters" farce by Ruth
McEnery Stuart. Mrs. Marion Gov
erdale in the role of "Granny Snow, I"
mother of twelve daughters, was the
leading character. She and her family
were dressed in costumes adapted to
the style of the play and all wore
peaked hats. She called her family
one by one to the front of the stage
and introduced them with their pecul-
lar characteristics. In the meantime,
"Gravy," the negro character taken by
Donald Cloak, played the gallant act,
kept the family cool with large palm.
leaf fan, and busted everything he
could put his hands on. The family o.
twelve girls, each took her part in {
captivating way.
In addition to the gossip and the
farce,a children's chorus was rendered
made up of good home talent.
The ladies who hau charge of tn,
entertainment were: Mrs. W. G
Pierce, Miss Bertha Hoffecker Mrs
j. W. Clifton and Miss Annie Middle
ton. The receipts were$55 70; ne
$47.15.
The Mite Society adopted the follow
ing resolution:
The ladies of the Mite Society joir
the committee in sincere thanks to a.
who so kindly helped make the enter
tainment on Thanksgiving night
success.
