Smryrna's Death Rate.

The death rate in Smyrna for the
past five years has been alarmingly
high, particularly among our aged and
most prominent people. 1t is said by
a well-known citizen of Smyrna, that
we yet have thirty seven citizens who
are over seventy-two years of age,
while number of them have reached
the eightieth milestone. This town
has population of 2, 700 people. Since
the undertaking establishment of
FAIRIES & Bro, was established in 1881,
the firm has buried 1900 bodies, truly
a remarkable record, when it is con-
sidered the number of coIpses handled
in the last sixty-nine years is nearly
five times the amount of population.

TREES FAST DISAPPEARING.
A Warning to the People to Provide for the
Future By Planting.

A few days ago twenty-one wagons,
loaded with walnut timber, entered
town in Wabash county, Indiana, and
it was said to have been the last of the
merchantable walnut in that county.
To day there is not walnut tree in the
county big enough to work up into a
chair.
This ought to be warning to the
people of to-day and especially to those
who have concern for the future and
their owe children. If every school
child should plant one walnut tree
year for twenty-five years it would only
take a generation to produce supply
of walnut wood. The trees are of slow
growth, but the children of to-day can
prepare for their children by planting g
trees. The same plan, if followed in
every county in the United States,
would do much to build up new forests
for future use.
Not only is the question of scarcity
of wood to be considered, but the effect
of the removal of forests is to create
heavier and more frequent floods.

The Milford Chronicle has the fol-
lowing in its last issue: "Those DEM
ocrats who are prosecuting Union Re-
publicans in Duck Greek hundred, are
animated by most sinister and bitter
notions; and are terrified at the pros
pect of Republican victory next No
vember. Their great hue and cry
about bribery is but a transparent
mantle, which they hope may cover
their open abuse of the Constitution
with their corruption fund swelled
by their National Committee; but the
Republicans of Delaware will watch
each move of these man-hunters for
political effect, and the sinners shall
indeed be brought to judgement.

GEN. CHAFEEE OFF FOR CHINA.
Reports of Troubles in the ''FlOwery King.
dom" Probably Exaggerated.

General Chaffee has faced toward
Pekin, and will go thither as fast as
steam pressure can carry him; but,
Judging of the present tumult in China
by tumults that have gone before, it is
not probable that General Chaffee will
find much to do when he shall arrive at
his destination. The bloodshed and the
danger of bloodshed at Tientsin and
Pekin have no doubt been vastly ex-
aggerated. The Chinese are so many
and the foreigners among them are so
comparatively few that apprehension
naturally takes the form of a panic.
1t is well to remember, however, that
of all the nations the Chinese are prob
ably the least warlike; and our fears
should be tempered by this reflection.

necessity of being compelled to 60 often
