DIR. WATT TAKES TRIP ON BRADY
Spends Delightful Voyage on His First
Trip up Delaware Bay and River.

Editor Smyrna Times, My Dear
Mr.. Hoffeckers-Ever since | have
resided in Smryna it has been my
purpose to take trip to Philadelphia
via the good Steamer Brady, but for
years nothing came of that desire.
Wednesday, June the 23d we made
our initial trip. The day was de-
lightful and the company most con-
genial. The trip up the river to the
city was charming, the points of in
terest almost endless in number and
variety. One would nave had to have
vivid imagination to have dreamed
variety, for the cool and bracing
breezes made electric fans seem like
useless toys. The home trip was no
less delightful than the up trip. One
would not have known that it was
hot till the boat entered TIE river that
winds in and out so sinuously that
one wonders how the original stream
could have ben so freakish in it's
course, like some folks, a law unto
itself. l wondered if the good people
of Smyrna knew what opportunity for
pleasure lay right at their doors.
This is the ageof rush and hurry, in so
much so that we want to arrive at
our destination before we start.
Would it not lengthen our day and
compose our spirit if once in a while
we took it leisurely What could
be more restful on a warm day than
to watch the winding river, to hear
the wash of its waves against the
boat, to close the eyes and dream Of
other skies more fair? The little
trip of which this note speaks is
among the most delightful and en-
joyable the writer ever took. L
was restful, healthful and soothing
And it ought to be said that mor'
courteous and thoughtful officers ant
crew it would be difficult to find.
desire to bear personal testimony t
their thoughtful, courteous treatmen
accorded to my family during Ou
initial trip on the good ship Brady

ting, it will not be our last. .-Rober

various channel improvem ents, aids
to navigation, quarantine and re-
porting stations were inspected. The
vessel remained over Friday night at
the Breakwater. There were several
Congressman in the party. Those who
had never been on the river before
expressed surprise at it's length and
breadth. 1T was a revelation to
me" said Congressman Kennedy of
Ohio, land hereafter l shall have
more friendly feeling for all i'm
provements for the Delaware. " "The
trip said E. R. Sherwood, secre-
tary of the Maritime Exchange.
"was entirely unffiocial ad informal.
It's primary object was to show the
Congressman and other members of
the party from Washington just what
was needed to improve the river,
and to show them what we proposed
doing with the money we have asked
Congress to appropriate to this port.

good results will come from the trip

GOT EVEN WITH HIGHWAYMAN
Borrowed Shot Gun and Caught up and
Wounded Man Who Robbed Him.


Wounded Man Who Robbed Him.
Townsend, Del, June 29.-Held
up by two negroes at the point OF
pistol and robbed of forty cents, all
he money he had in his possession,
James H. Bartlett, colored insur-
ance agent of Clayton, Wednesday
afternoon, proceeded to turn the
tables on the highwaymen. Going to
the home of a man whom he knew,
Bartlett borrowed a shot gun and
started in pursuit of the two. He
acccsted them near Blackbird station,
and putting the gun to his shoulder,
fired. The first shot struck Neal
Buckley in the hip, and he fell
moaning with pain. Bartlett theT
fired the other barrel at the CON-
panien of Buckley who goes by the
name of "Henry,' but this time his
aim was bad and the man escaped
The hold-up occurred about one-hali
a mile south of Greenspring, In
Blackbird hundred, shortly before
o'clock. Bartlett gave himself VI
to Constable N. w. Vanhorn and was
brought to this town. Buckley, the
injured nergo, was carried to the
Delaware railroad station at Black
bird and sent to the Delaware Hos
pital Wilmington, on the early morn
ing train. Middletown Transcript.

The sentiment in favor of paving
Main avenue is growing stronger every
day that the mud continues, and the
city council will no doubt be petition
cd to order such paving laid and the
cost of the same charged to the abut-
ting property owners. The business
men upon whom the expense OF such
Improvement falls the heaviest, are
MI heartily in favor and with their
usual hustle wish to have the matter
taken up and paving put in before the
dust gets too thick. While the taxa
ton would fall on only few OF the
business men, and all citizens get
the benefit, yet as long as these pub
he spirited business men do not kick
the rest should not.

The Commercial club was given its
choice Monday night of two forms of
telephone systems from two independ-
ent sources In one case, that of the
Utah Independent company, the only
promise made was of good service,
with no reduction Of the present rates.
If that is the final decision of the said
Independent company then it is folly
to make any change, for the Bell COM
pany promises better service. From
its own proposition the Utah Iade-
pendent Telephone company is out of
the running as far as asking for a
franchise is concerned On the other
hand the Montana system through its
representative, promised lower rate
and instantaneous automatic service in
return for a franchise. 1t would seem
that the latter proposition is the one
toward which the citizens Of this city
should look for relief. The investiga-
ton of its service and financial stand
ing Is at the same time necessary and
the committee should see to it that
thorough report is made Of its investi-
CATION in order that no mistake may be
made in the future.
