Smyrna for a day or so, stopping at

Twentyfrst Assembly District of
Brooklyn in the State Legislature of
New York in 1903 and 1904 and at
tanned some prominence. He declined

Smyrna's oldest and most highly es-
teemed citizens is critically ill at his
home on East Comm cree street and his
physician holds out little or no hope
for his recovery. He was taken i'll last

children and grandchildren have all
been notified and are at his bedside.

MIR. Leimberger celebrated his S0th
birthday and all of his children and
grandchildren gave him a surprise

apparently we'll and in good spirits
then and those around the festive
board little dreamed that his break.

await anxiously for some ray of hop,
