Smyrna Town Council is receiv-
ing the appreciation of the people
of Smyrna generally for their action
in the matter of good streets. The
Street Committee, warmed up to
public opinion, forced the issue
through council Friday night
when it was unanimously decided
to provide way for a continuation
of the maCadamized work by or
dering the negotiating of two bonds
Of $1,000 each to pay the balance
on the new boiler and other i'm
prOvements at the: Electric Light
and Water Plant. By doing this
Council will be enabled to macada-
mize all of Commerce street and
Main street. 1t is to be hoped
that the Street Committee which
has the matter of street improve
ment in charge will not allow their
enthusiasm to die but keep con-
tinually at the work until both of
our business thorOughfares are in
good condition. There has been
no more important subject before
Council and certainly none that the
public generally can enjoy, than
good pike roadbeds. Smyrna has
already delayed this matter too
long. The reputation we have
had for rough and miserable streets
had almost become a by-word
The improvement now contem-
plated will set Smyrna up consid-
erably and should be a lasting
improvement to the town. As we
have said before, there is nothing
that gives a town better impression
to strangers coming in our midst
than good, we'll graded streets. L
not only makes travelling more
comfortable, but it helps to adver
tise town and give it a gooC
impression to investors and thos,
who trade here. Besides this i
increases the valuation Of property
Let the good work go on. TIL
$4,000 spent on street improvement
will be money we'll invested. w,
are glad to see this progressiv
spirit invading or Council. Its
good healthy sign. 1t is such tow
pride and progressive spiritednes
that makes town grow and Smyl
ma will be all the better when tn
improvement shall have been con
pleted. Council should not stop III
til they have all the streets ofSmyrn
macadamized.

Will Smyrna allow the Bitter
Hosiery Mill, one of its oldest
industries to be taken away from
Smyrna? This is the question
wt.-h VIII confront our busines
ia. and capitalists from now
until September the 9TH, the date
on which Receiver Hope will sell
the property. The Smyrna Board
Of Trade is meeting with scant
encouragement tosave industry
for Smyrna. Will our citizens
allow it to go? Smyrna needs all
of its industries and more too.
Factories give employment to
home labor. Home labor puts
money into circulation; helps the
merchant and every retail business;
helps to increase commercial thrift
and energy and makes the town
grow. Don't forget this. A
thousand dollars viii save the in
dustry for Smyrna. Who will dc
it. Think it over.

begins. There is one thing certain
and that is Council will enforce more
stringent laws with regard to opening
streets than ever before. The Street
Committee will plow, regrade and roll
all the less important streets of Smyrna.
Engines at Light Plant Ordered Repaired.
On motion of Chairman Grieves of
the Light & Water Committee, Coun-
Gil authorized the expenditure of 5000
for overhauling and repairing the en-
glnes Ot the Power Station. The con-
tract was given to the Ames Engine
Works who sent representative here
to estimate the cost. The improve
ment will mean a saving of nearly so
percent. in fuel. The new boiler is
now in place and is bricked up ready
for use. The bricklayers are now en-
closing the building which had to be
torn out to admit the boiler. The new
boiler together with the new feed
water supply will be put in service as
soon as possible. Much trouble is be.
ing had with the leaking of fire-plugs
caused by their constant use of the
town sprinkler. The town was shut of
from water supply a short time Friday
night, to allow of one of the leaks or
South being repaired. Council ad
iourned after allowing claims to the
amount of $64O.5O.

the WOOlNe OF
MRS. MCKINLEY,

Her Father Turned Down an
IdIer for Hard Working At.
t0rney.
Cleveland-A hitherto unpub-
lished romance in the life of Mrs.
Ida Mckinley has been recalled
BY John d. Lang Of the Boston
& Montana Mining company.
For more than ten years Lang
was in the employ OF Mrs. Nc
Kinley's father.
AS the daughter of the towns
| richest banker. Miss Ida was the
| recipient of attentions OF the
young men, but in general she
held herself aloof from those who
sought her hand in expectation
OF obtaining a fortune with it.
About this time there appear
ed a young blood by the name OF
Charles Letter. 1t was noticed
that he was paying special at
tention to the bankers daugh-
ter, and naturally the gossips
banded the story about until it
reached the ears OF the hard
headed firancier.
LIE ter was the son OF q con.
gresham. He appeared to have
no serious purposes in life, and
as far as known. had no voca-
ton, and young and handsome,
it seemed as if his suit would
prove successful, when the father
decided that It was time to in
terfere. From that moment
Letter never had Il chance to
take the daughter buggy riding,
as was customary in chose days,
qua whenever he called at the
house Miss Sssxton was constant
ly under chaperonage.
Whenever party vas an
nounced at the home OF a distant
neighbor, young Lang. the bank
employe, was called upon to as
sumo his duty Of accompanying
the girl.
While Mr.. Saxton never open
~ oppo ed his daughter in any
thing, it was soon noted that
his influence was producing the
desired effect. The young
wooer, Mr.. Saxton said, had no
regular occupation, and this to
his mind was an objectionable
crime. The good people were
still discussing the probable fu-
lures of these two young people
when William Mckinley appear
ed on the scene. His legal tai.
ents were beginning to attract
the favorable notice ofhis towns
people, and it was not long be-
fore he became acquainted with
the rich mans daughter.
From that moment all
thoughts of her former admirer
vanished from the girls mind,
and the rising young lawyer be.
came her ideal. Old Mr.. Saxton
was also pleased at this turn OF
affairs, and always supported
the attorney in his battle for the
girls hand. When Mckinley
was suggested for prosecuting
attorney the banker promptly
offered all the financial assist
ance required. In the days that
followed Miss Saxton gave evil
dence OF supreme happiness. Har
entire life became wrapped up in
the young attorney who was
making his way III the world.

THE EDIFYING SOLDIER.
Sketch Of One Of the Great German
Toy Warehouses.

The Troedel market is on little is
land in the heart of the old town OF
Nuremberg. Along the north branch
Of the river is an odd, low eaved house
with a little darkling doorway. When
you have got so far you are met by
little old mana rusty little man who
looks as though he were made of metal
who leads you into the great mysteri-
GUS warehouse of toys.
Round all the walls they are ranged
guns. cannons, motors. steamships,
trumpets, sabers, and everywhere the
soldiers. How many millions of metal
soldiers have marched away from the
TroedeI market not even the rusty old
man could tell you-mighty articles of
pewter and tin.
Hundreds OF regiments, of battalions.
Of divisions, are drawn up on the
shelves. waiting for the day when they
shall be sent out into battle. And
with kind Of pride the rusty old man
says, They are edifying soldiers"
That Is the German way Of putting

illustrates a battle or a campaign

Alexander, the exploits OF Occur de

siege Of Orleans. the victories of Ma
