Smyrna times., 1912-01-03
RO Err = y. HOFFECEER,
Editor and Business Manager.

1t is with sorrow that we chronicle
the death of Nicholas Watkins, the
first foreman of the Smyrna Times.
He was a good man and led a clean
life and though many of his old
friends in this vicinity had passed
away he maintained up until the last
kindly interest in Smyrna and
its people. 1t was a remarkable
coincidence that after a span of so
years-in July 1904-the three who
had to do with the getting out of the
first Issue of the Times should be
living. Of these three Robert D.
Hoffecker, editor and founder, and
Nichola Watkins, the first foreman,
have gone to their eternal rest.
The only one now remaining of this
tric is the Rev. Thomas L. Poulson,
D. D. He gave up the pen the
year the Times was established,
1854, and entered the ministry and
became very successful.
Smyrna times., 1912-01-03

Let Smyrna strive in the coming
year to make more industrial pro-
gress. Every business man and
progressive citizen who is not a
member should join the Board of
Trade and lend every encouragement
to all movements that will tend to
the growth and development of
S..vrna. With the natural advan-
tages in and about Smyrna, there is
every reason to encourage a "boost"
and the year just setting in is a
good time to resolve to make the
best of the opportunities and advan-
tages we, as town, have at hand.
