CHRISTMAS TREAT TO SABBATH SCHOOLS
Asbury N. E. Church ard the PRESBYTERIAN
Church Both Hold SpeSisl Services.

The annual Christmas treaN> to the
Sunday School children took pla9s-lsas..
evening, coincident being that this
service was held almost simultaneously
in all the churches. At Asbury Sun
day School there was large Christmas
tree lighted with red and white electric
lamps and Charles Turner impersonated
"Old Kriss." An interesting program
was rendered after which the distribu-
tion of presents was made by Old Kriss
each scholar receiving box of candy.
In turn the officers of the Sunday
school were remembered with some
appropriate gifts, Rev. DIR. Watt max
ing the presentation gifts. Superin-
tendent l.. NJ. Price, Chorister, Walter
o. Hoffecker, Secretary George ny
Stevenson, Mrs. Temple, Miss Lizzie
Mcdowell, Miss Bertha Smithers and
Frank McCawley were remembered.
There was a large turnout. At the
Presbyterian Sunday School entertain
ment there was a beautiful decorated
Christmas tree and a gift for each
scholar. A program consisting of
music, recitations and addresses was
given. One of the features was a
chorus "Let the Lower Lights Be
Burning" in which everybody was
given a lighted candle. The church
lights were turned low and the chorus
which was sung with much spirit was
very effective. A large crowd was in
attendance and pleasant time was
had.

AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 27, 1905.
CHRISTMAS DAY AND HOW OBSERVED
Family Reunions Take up Most of the Day
and Fine Entertainment Given Under
Auspices of Twentieth Century Club.

Christmas Day dawned bright and
beautiful with as ideal weather as one
could wish. The day was ushered in
with the usual salute from those who
arose early and between six and seven
o'clock, the early services at Asbury
nj. E. Church and st. Peters Episco-
pal Church called out a goodly num-
Der. The day was spent primarily in
family reunions and was consequently
quiet day save for those who sought
diversions in cunning and other
pAstimes. The order comparatively
speaking was good although much
drunkenness was seen through the day
and eight or ten arrests were made.
In the evening the one attraction was
the rendition of "The Rivals" given at
the Smyrna Opera House under the
auspices of the Twentieth Century
Club. The hall was well filled and
those who witnessed the performance
Of our amateurs went away delighted
and pleased. Indeed the people were
as a whole agreeabIy surprised that
the cast could take up such a play as
that which made the great actor Joe
Jefferson famous, and in less than two
weeks time work it up to such splen'
did success. Two much praise cannot
be given the committee and cast for
the work accomplished and critics arr
warm in their praise in pronOuncing
it the best amateur production
ever given in Smyrna. Everyone in
the cast seemed especially we'll fitted
for their part and it would be difficult t.
select names for special mention wEer,
all were so good. The costumes whicl
were procured from Van Horn L Son
Philadelphia. carried out the effect o
the play most admirably and altogethe
was as cleverly rendered as could hav
been possible, in the time it was frs
taken up by the Club Committee. Be
tween acts Watkins Orchestra ren

PRETTY WEDDING NEAR CLAYTON.
Miss Daisy Mills aud Mr.. Ernest Davis Mar.
rled in BlackistOn NJ. E. Church Last
Wednesday Before a Large Company

Blackiston's Church was the scene
of very pretty wedding Wednesday
evening, December Goth, the contract
ing parties being Miss Daisy Mills,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. David Mills.
a prominent young lady of Blackis-
toms, and Mr.. Ernest Davis, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Davis, a pros
porous young farmer near Kenton.
The church was beautifully decorated
with evergreens and white ribbon.
Precisely at 30 o'clock the bridal
party entere e church to the str rains
of Lohengrin's wedding march, rem

Rev. ID. T. M3Faul who performed the
ceremony. Miss Gertrude Mabrey a
| cousin of the bridesmaid, aud Mr..

Dudley Crossley, Medford Davis and
Arthur Reihm were ushers The

broidered chiffon trimmings, and car
ried a beautiful bouquet of brides
roses. The bridesmaid wore Paris
muslin over pink and carried pink car
nations. The groom and best man
wore the conventional black. In spite
of the inclement weather the church
was filled to its seating capacity, most
of whom followed the bridal party to
the former home of the bride, where a
reception was held. The bride was
the renipient of many beautiful, use
full and costly gifts. At late hour
the happy couple left with the best
J wishes of all present, amid a shower
of rice and a downpour of rain for
their future home near Keuton. On

MERCHANTS PLEASED WITH CHRISTMAS.
Reports II one Of the Best Seasons They Have

Reports II one Of the Best Seasons They Have
Had In Several Years--Big Business
Despite the inclement weather which
threatened to cause slump in Christ
mas traffic, the season closed with
somewhat of a record breaker for our
Smyrna merchants. The latter as
usual laid in large stock of goods in
preparation for the holidays and there
was more or less anxious concern when
the snow, rain and sleet broke in upon
the fine shopping weather. Then again
the muddy condition of the roads made
it very annoying for the country people
and altogether the prospect was not
encouraging. AS Christmas ap-
preached however the trade began to
pick up and Saturday, the day before
Christmas Eve, was a record breaker
to many of our merchants. Despite
the fact that the day opened with a
drizzling rain, the country people
poured to town and unmindful of the
elements crowded our stores. A num-
Der of our merchants pronounce it the
best Christmas trade they have had
since they were in business.

EDWARD BEASTON DIES FROM HORRIBLE
RAILROAD ACCIDENT NEAR mIDDLETOWN
Young Man Who Was WeII-Known in This
Section Was to Have Married Miss May
Roe of Massey, Nd, on January 4th.

One of the most shocking accidents

bound express train and fatally in
Jured. At the time of the accident Mr..
Beaston was driving to his home near
Armstrong; Corner to get list of

the woods on the west side of the track
at that place made it impossible for
him to see the approaching train until
it was within a few feet of the crossing.
The carriage was wrecked, portion of
1t being carried about a quarter of a
mile along the track by the locomo'
tive, aud the horse was so badly in
jured that it had to be shot. The un-
fortunate man wes hurled several yards
by the train, and his right leg was so
badly crushed and mangled that it had
to be amputated at the hospital He
was also manned about the body. The
train was stopped and later when the
south bound passenger train arrived,
Beaston was placed on it and taken to
Clayton where he was given medical
attention, after which he was taken to
Wilmington. Everything possible was
done for him at the hospital, but be
continued to sink and died Wednesday
afternoon at five o'clock. Deceased
