PAvEMENTs MUST BE PUT IN CONDITION
So Declares the Smyrna Town Couucll In
Regular Session Last Friday Evening.

The regular session of the Smyrna
Town Council was held Friday even
ing with all present except Council
man Thornley,. There was very little
business transacted. 1t was arranged
that the Street Committee should go
over the streets between now and
another meeting and report the names
of all whose pavements need atten-
ton. 1t was the opinion of Council
that pavements and cutters should be
repaired without delay and no doubt
this department of the town will be
given early and prompt attention. On
motion of Councilman Stoekley, it was
ordered that Council pay half the ex-
pense for repairing the rooms on the
third floor of the Town Hall occupied
by the Masons. Owing to leaky gut
ter, the paper was destroyed and the
Masons were put to the expense of
over $46in repairs. Council adjourned
after allowing claims to the amount of
1886. 66.

BOMBAY HOOK RAILWAY SITE
MAY BECOME A A"SPEEDWAY'
MOVEMENT TO MAKE 1T A POPULAR BOUL-
EVARD IN NORTHERN PART OF SMYRNA.
Permission Will be Asked to Convert R, z.
Site IutO Level ROadbed Which Will be
Nearly Mile Long, Sixty Feet Wide

Since the abandonment of the Bel
mont Driving Park near town, our
local horsemen are without place to
test the speed of their horses. During
the past week a movement has been
started with the idea of converting the
site of the old Bombay Hook Railroad
and public road leading from Main
Street Smyrna toward the intersection
of the Smyrna-Clayton road at "Hud
sons Gate" This road, it is estimated
can be put i'll condition with the help
of those who will volunteer services,
at cost of about 5000. By the time it
is ploughed up, graded and rolled, the
speedway would have nearly mile
level stretch, fully go feet wide, twenty
feet wider than the regulation race
track. This, it is contended, would
give a full half mile race track, with
over an eighth Of a mile at each end
for starting and stopping. Leading
citizens of the town are interested in
the movement and it is probable that
a committee will visit the Town Coun
Gil and Kent County Levy Court to gel
the privilege. The railway site along the
public road, it is understood, has by Law
reverted back to the town and county
In the event of gaining the privilege
it has been suggested that it be made
a pretty avenue by planting rows o
trees on each side, building a boarC
walk on one side for pedestrians ant
spectators and keeping the place fo
the purpose intended, speedwa.
open to all. The road could be sprink
led in summer, and in the winter whel
there is a good racing snow, it coul,
be used as a speedway instead of Mai
, Street. DIR. Frank Gardner, DIR.
: H. Clifton and Howard r. Jones, th
leaders of the movement are wOrkin
: up a favorable sentiment toward NAL
ing the project success. The road
: one that is very little used and L
y place in town offers more ideal adval
: tages for a speedway. As soon as til
consent is granted, the work of putin
the road in shape will be started an
within a month it is hoped the spec,
way will be in operation. 1t is col
tended that speedway will be of col
siderable benefit to property in thi
) part of the town and might eventual.

SUNDAY TRAIN SERVICE INAUGURATED
Two Trains North and Two Trains South Made
Their Initial Trips Sunday-AlI Roads
Connect Except Smyrna Branch.

Sunday trains on the Delaware Rail-
road were fairly we'll patronized last
Sunday, score or mora from Smvrnv
and Clayton purchasing tickets for
points north and south. The Smyrna
Branch was the only railway that did
not connect with the new system, a
feature that is very disappointing to
many in this town and vicinity. Those
who tried Sunday trains on their ini-
tial trip Sunday were obliged to drive
to Clayton to meet the trains. China
Potts hack made connections at all
trains. An effort will doubtless be
made In the future to have the Rail-
road Company put the Smyrna Branch
In service to connect with the Sunday
trains, the same that other branch
roads are doing. The novelty of the
Sunday passenger trains on the Della
ware railroad and the convenience,
had the effect of causing a large num-
Der of people to avail themselves of the
service, which was established Sun
day, all of the trains were well patron
lied, especially the first one out oi
Wilmington, which left at 7.35 in the
morning, and the last one to arrive in
the evening, which reached there
at 6.52. The early northbound train
and late southbound train were alsC
well filed with people, each carrying
about $50 people. Many Wilmington
people took advantage of the oppor
tunity to visit relatives in the love-
part of the State and many peopl,
down the State visited relatives il
Wilmington. The trains on the brancl
roads also carried many people. Thi
is the first regular Sunday train ser
vice on the Delaware road. Years ag
special Sunday trains were run for tn
accommodation of colored people de
string to attend the Big Quarterl
meeting in Wilmington, but becaus
of trouble on some of these trains the
were discontinued Sunday train
were also run to Middletown while th
First Delaware Regiment was Ell
camped there in 1893.

PRESBYTERIAN "CHIL LDREN'S FEAST" ."
Celebrated Sunday Morning With an Interest
Ing PrOgram-CharIes Howell LeFeyre
Makes the Address OF the Occasion.

Sunday was observed as "Children's
Day. by the Presbyterian Sabbath
School and one of the best programs
rendered in long while was delivered
before a well filled church. The dec
orations were in keeping with the
event and large clusters of flowers
adorned the pulpit recess and the front
of the church. An augmented orches-
ira contributed to the excellent musi-
cal program. Charles Howell LeFevre,
Esq, our local attorney, made the ad.
dress of the occasion. He took for his
subject the "Children's Feast" the
topic of the Children's Day program
and i'll very interesting manner told
of the 'Feast Days" and their signifi-
canoe, showing a close analogy be-
tween the festal events of biblical his
tory and the joyful and gladstone
Children's Day of later times. The
address has been spoken of in most
complimentary terms. The Presbyter-
ians rendered their Children's Feast
program as follows: Organ Voluntary,
Mrs. F. F. Evans; singing, meath
the Banner of Gods Love-" prayer
and scripture reading by Superintend
ent George W. Taylor; exercise by

Esley NJ. Rust vino recently sold out
the Smyrna Creamery and went to
West Chester, Pa, and has since dis

cided TO go back again into the cream
cry business. He has Just purchased
from Robert Hatcherson the Chester

Rust is one of best creamery men on
the Peninsula. His success in Smyrna
was remarkable when it is considered
he took ahold of the Smyrna plant
when it was very much run down and
built it up from $1,000 pounds of milk
a month to 10000 pounds when he re-
ceived hattering offer to sell out. He
started here with 10 patrons and when
he closed he had over 65 patrons, in
cluded in which were the best dairy
men in this vicinity. Chestertown is
fortunate indeed in getting Mr.. Rust
to take charge of the creamery and
there Is every reason to believe he will

HEAVY RAINS BREAK LONG DROUGHT.
Farmers 10 the This Vicinity Much Relieved
By the Heavy Showers Of Sunday and Monday

The rain of Sunday and Monday re-
lieved great suspense in agricultural
districts over the possibility of serious
loss from one of the longest droughts
on record. The break came Sunday
with frequent showers followed Mon
day by steady, soaking rain which
continued nearly all day. Yesterday
morning the clouds had cleared away
and the sunshine was getting in its
beneficial work. Farmers and fruit
growers were becoming ,nxious over
the long drought. Its effect has al
ready been more especially shown
hay and corn. These staple forage
crops are shortened. Glover and tim
othy are dried at the surface and very
short. The effect on corn is to make
it sprout badly. A farmer near the
Mary yland-Delaware line, who under
took to water his whole corn field,
found that it would require so many
cubic feet of water that it would be
worth practically his entire crop of
corn to haul and spray the water upon
the cracked and crusty earth. While
the heavy rains will help late straw
berries, the crop, nevertheless, will be
short. Frosts killed the early bios
SONS and the drought seems to have
played havoc with nearly all the rest.
James Butler of near Townsend, says
his apple crop has been nearly de
stroyed by the early frost and weather
conditions.
