JOHN ", TUGKER DEFEATS
STOCKLY FOR TOWN COUNCIL
WINS OVER FORMER COUNSEL
MAN BY BARE MAJORITY
The Rest of the Old Council Reelected
Without any Opposition. Reynolds
Treasurer, Anthony, Assessor.

The annual town election came off
in Smyrna Monday afternoon between
two and five O'Clock and was practic-
ally without contest with the excep-
tion of the first district in which
John w. Tucker, Smyrna wellknown
clothing merchant, defeated John c.
Stockly for reelection to City Coun-
Gil. The latter was defeated by one
vote. Aside from this the election
was unusually quiet, the total vote
polIed being only thirty-five. The
ticket elected was as follows: Coun-
cilmen-frst district, John w. Tuck
err; second district, Samuel ]. Reyn-
olds; third district, Harry B.
Grieves; fourth district, Joseph H.
Wright: fifth district. John P. Hud
son; sixth district, (from which two
are elected) James H. Roberts and
james, C. Robinson. Joseph M.
Reynolds was reelected treasurer and
Henry S. Anthony, assessor. Unlike
previous years the Election Board did
not have to contend with split
tickets. In the first district Tucker
received a votes and Stockly 8, a
total of z votes for the district ;
second district 9 votes were cast {;
third district 6; fourth district q;
fifth district A and sixth district 6.
Some little excitement, however. was
manifested when the polls closed.
When the officers started to count the
ballots they found that the tickets
voted at the election a year previous
were still in the boxes and had
never been burned. This confusion
was easily regulated by comparing
the number of ballots in the boxes
by the registry sheets and as the
new ballots could be easily dis.
tinguished from the old, the Elec.
tion Board proceeded with the count
ing as if nothing had ever happened
The Election Board was as follows

L. Beckett and George F. Brown

Council may meet before the regula

Complete Surprise Wednesday
Evening at Presbyterian Church
When Mr.. George W. Taylor and
his good wife entered the lecture
room of the Presbyterian church last
Wednesday evening to attend the
weekly prayer service, they were the
most completely surprised and at the
same time embarrassed couple this
quiet community could imagine.
They found the room brilliantly
lighted and festooned with green and
were greeted by the ladies and some
few gentlemen of the congregation
bathed in smiles and satisfied look
upon their bright faces that they
had accomplished their hearts de-
sire. The occasion was the celebra-
tion of Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor's fftieth
wedding anniversary or as some
were want to say their golden we'd
ding, which at the ending turned out
to be a veritable fact having re-
ceived double the allotment in gold
coin. The Rev. J. E. Franklin,
pastor-elect, had been notified and
was on hand and for while had
charge of the ceremony. The meet
ing was opened with a song of
"Jesus and His Love-" Prayer was
offered up to God who giveth life and
breath to all his creatures. Rev.
Franklin made a short address ap-
propriate to the occasion after which
he presented the bride and groom of
fifty years ago with ffty beautiful
flowers in a magnificent cut glass
vase of unique pattern. This most
lovely gift was by the congregation
and highly appreciated by the recipi-
ents. Letters from former pastors
and friends of the couple were read
which were interesting. A fine
collation. had been prepared and was
served by the young ladies of the
Sabbath School. Happy greetings
were exchanged and an all round
handshaking and social and happy
converse continued until about 10. 81
O'Clock when the pastor somehow got
on to the favorite ode of the bride
groom, "Auld Lang Syne." Witt

as in former years but in the country
districts there were a number of
changes. The change among Smyrna's
business places is but few. Den

his son-in-law, Samuel j. Hickey,
moved their residence to the DR..
Moore property on south Main

of groceries to Hickey's butcher shop
where in the future they will conduct
business together. John G. Still,

Sewing machines, moved the business
from the Roe property to the Spru'

Smyrna Town Council of the out

meeting Friday evening and after
hearing the report of the Auditing
Committee and the statement of ac-
counts of the fiscal year ending with
February 10Th, and which is pub
lished in full in another column,
President Reynolds declared the ses-
sion at a close and on motion of Mr..
Wright Council adjourned sine die.
The outgoing Council closed the year
with a remarkable record for i'm
provements and economy. The
Water Department earned 81, $50. &c;
the Light Department 81, 439. SO; the
Opera House 1886. 09 and the Sewer
$237. SO. Out of the receipts of the
town, Council improved the streets
to the amount of $27, O15. 81, redeemed
two bonds $4,000, and opened and ex-
tended Delaware street and Peterson
street at a cost of $4,000. With
all this done the year closed with a
cash balance in the treasury of
1927. .98. The bonded Indebtedness
of the past year was lowered from
$36, 600 to $34, 600 but the latter was
increased S21, 900 on account of the
street improvement, now max ing the
total bonded indebtedness S55, 000.
To show for this, however, Smyrna
has one of the finest and most-up-to-
date vitrified blocked streets of any
town in the State. The financiering
of this job together with the macad-
amizing of Delaware, South and Mt.
Vernon streets, is a credit to oul
