Among the renewels of subscription
the past week was the name of Theo-
dore T. Haughey, Esq, of indianapolis,
Ind. Such weekly occurrence is in no
sense matter of note, but it becomes
so when the figures are taken into ac-
count. Mr.. Haughey, who grew up
boy in Smyrna and went West to en-
gage in business, where larger field
was offered, was one of the first sub
scribers of the TIMES and the Herald
that proceeded it-nearly fifty years
ago. The half century with its many
changes has not lessened Mr.. Haugheys
interest in his old home, nor has the
regard of the people here changed |
toward him.
The Christian AdUOcate has the fol-
lowing in reference to former citizen |
