particularly busy, Frightening things
up. Many summer residents have al
ready been down, getting their cot
taSes ready for occupancy, and a few
have come down for the season.
The news that Walter L. Burton Will
manage the HeuIopen this season, is
taken TO mean that the hotel will as
sumo something of its old-time hospl-
tallty, for Mr.. Burton managed the

One Of the largest apiaries on the
Peninsula is situated at Willow Grove.

Colby Smith. There are about seventy
hve colonies of the bees, which are ar
ranged in rows and numbered. Mr..
Smith has laid out a good-sized park.

cleared the ground and it is entirely
bare of the grass. Rose bushes of fine
varieties adorn this park, and in the
centre is a small lake from which the
bees get water. As many as six
swarms may be seen daily on this bee
farm of Mr.. Smith, flying in the air.
The bees are fed principally on scarlet
clover, now. Mr.. Smith has lust fin
ished clipping the queen bees wings,
preventing them from flying away.

Mrs. Blossom and her seven children
but with a woman's fortitude and a
woman's hope, she began to see a
silver lining to the dark cloud that
darkened her home. Her children
were all known to possess pecnliar
talents, musical, literary and other
wise, and the thought struck her that
maybe she could take her talented
family on the stage and under the
gulse of ZobO Band, make enough
money to pay off the mortgage which
amounted to some $500. ENCOURAGED
by the sympathy and support Of their
many friends of this community. the
Blossom Family gave their first enter

TOWN COUNCIL ALARMED
OVER SHORTAGE OF COAL
But SEYENTY-FlVE TONS ON HAND ATTHE
LIGHT AND WATER PLANT.
UniiI the Great Coal Strike is Settled
There Win be no Street Lamps After
Twelve o'clock at Night.

Unless the great coal strike is settled
soon, the Smyrna Light and Water
Department is going to suffer verv
materially. So grave is tue situation.
Chairman Anthony of that department,
brought the matter before the session
OF the Council last Friday night and
suggested that the street lights he
turned off at midnight thereafter to
save the consumption of coal as much
as possible. 1t may be that the takers
OF light and water will be asked to
cooperate with the Council in using as
little OF this commodity as possible.
Chairman Anthony stated that there
was only about seventy-five tons of
coal on hand, which would last bur n
comparatively short time. Three cars
were ordered to be here the previous
tuesday, but it is supposed that this
lot was taken up by the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad. With only seventy-fye
tons on hand, and none on the track
and no assurance as to when we VIII
be able to get any, the proposition be.
tore the Light and water Department
IS very serious one. Fortunately
Messrs. Cosgritf q Beck will help t5e
Department out with hundred tons.
and Mr.. 5. J. Reynolds, another coal
dealer, will do what he can. In the
meantime the Light and Water service
will be cut down wherever feasible TO
reduce the coal consumption.
Will Suspend Redemption of Bond.
All the members were present at the
meeting of the Council on FRIDAY
evening with the exception of Presj-
dent Robinson. IN his absence, Mr.
Ii. Is. Grieyes filed the chair. Secre-
taly Anthony stated that this was the
time for giving notice for redeemipg
another bond, and suggested to the
Council the advisability of suspend
ing payment this year, in view of GER
tain repairs which have to be made at
the plant. 1t may be that something
will have to be done to the defective
boilers, and as the Council did not
provide for any emergency b., raising
the tax rate at the proper time. the
thousand dollars which would be used
to redeem the bond in July, could be
applied very well to the plant and in
another year the town may be better
able to reduce the bonded indebted
ness $4,000. This met with the approv-
al of the Board and Councilman
Fowler introduced resolution to this
effect, which was carried unanimous

Agitatlng a Public Street Sprinkler.

Councilman Grieves brought M tbe
subject of a public street sprinkler
which was discussed pro and con for
a considerable while. The project did
not meet with much favor because
they feel to do the thing right it would
mean too big an outlay of money.
Grleves' plan was to have an ordinance
passed prohibiting the use of the pave
wash for sprinkling of streets. and
that the public sprinkler be used uni
tormly on all public thOroughfares.
the water supply to be derived from
the fire plugs. There are many citi-
zens IN this town who would like TO
see public sprinkler and even those
member of the Council who oppose
1t at this time, would like to see sucb
plan inaugurated, other things be-
ing equal. After the coal strike is
settled the matter may come up again
before the Council. The following
bills were read and allowed: Sylvanus
