SusnicInns.

j George AIDE Davis relieved one OF
he ticket statesmen in the box office
of the Studebaker and was ap-
preached by a buyer of bush league
appearance.
Mr. Davis went to great lengths
20 satisfy his customer, being keen
in the impression that he was being
viewed through the grating as a slick
acuss full of smooth city talk.
He strongly advised the selection
of two seats in the second row of the
balcony, in the center and with one
seat on the aisle. He laid so much
emphasis on this point of location
that the man outside the window said
abruptly:
What's the matter? Amt you got
no ushers up here?"-Chicago Post.

Smyrna times., 1912-11-27

When an election is once over, and
the results are ascertained, the
American people have happy fashion
of laying aside all feeling of acri-
mony, and of reconciling themselves
cheerfully to the will of the majority.
During the campaign, Governor
Wilson's political opponents naturally
did their best to find debating ground
against his views as expressed from
time to time. But he kept an ad-
mirable ,pOise and temper, talked
generalities in a charming, yet states
man like manner, and found himself
in good terms with everybody at the
end of the campaign. Men who have
shown themselves fitted to serve in
the presidency of an American uni
versity must possess executive talent
of high order and experience of a
very wide range. The business of
being a university president requires
great power of decision and develops
marked personality. If Governor
Wilson could also have served in Con-
gress for term, he would perhaps
have been by lust so much the better
fitted for headship of the national
government. But it is the general
belief that we are fortunae in having
man of his attainments and high
character to be our next President.
and mis- well-wishers are millions
strong. From "The Progress of the
World" F." in the American Review of
Reviews for December.
Smyrna times., 1912-11-27

With the wonderful advancement
of electrical science and its applica-
tion to every day use, it is a pity
that Smyrna has not day electric
current. There is no reason to doubt
but what in time it might be put on
a profitable basis. Besides the many
industries which could use day current.
there are many homes where electric
motors could be installed for washing,
ironing, running sewing machines,
electric fans, &c. &c. Let us hope
our Town Council will consider the
matter carefully and do their utmost
to have Smyrna keep abreast of the
times.
