Chamberlain BUYS BOOKSTORE
of the Room for His JeweIry
Business.

A deal was conSummated Tuesday
afternoon whereby Mr.. e. c. Chamber
lin becomes the owner of the stock
and lease of the ocrner bookstore, for.
merly owned and operated by Geo. B.
Smith.
The corner bookstore has been in
the hands of the court for the past few
months and for some time the credit
ors have been endeavoring to find a
purchaser for the goods, but on &C
count of the poor condition of the
stock they were unable to dispose OF
it, but in order to do SO at better ad
vantage the lease on the store room
was included in the purchase.
Mr.. Chamberlins only purpose in
procuring this stock was to get pos
session of the location, which is con
sidered to be one Of the best in the
city. He has already started to get
the stock in shape and informs US
that as soon as it can be arranged he
will close out the entire stock and at
ter that is done move his jewelry
store from the present location to the
new quarters.
Mr.. Chamberlin's intentions are tC
fit this room up into one OF the mos,
up-to-date jewelry stores in this par,
of the state. He has already started
TO make plans for many improvements
and no doubt will spend several hun
dred dollars in fitting up the new 10
cation.

republican campaigns in the county
and of the good work the republicans
had done in the past in spite OF all
discouragements.
A large number of republicans testi-
fed to their faith and the convention
became veritable experience meet
ing" The report of the committee to
select delegates is given below, it in
cludes lists of delegates to the two
conventions and instructions for Taft.
A brief but ringing resolution favor
able to the president was introduced
by Mr.. Kuehnle and was passed with
out dissent. The report of the COM
mittee was adopted by a rising vote,
but none rose in opposition.
Taken all in all the convention car
ried out the will of the republicans OF
the county. Had the progressives won
there would have been no Taft men
en- the delegation and the same treat
ment was accorded them which they
would have accorded the Taft men had
they been victorious. At the same
time there was no attempt to muzzle
the expression OF opinion nor to make
republicans of any shade feel that they
were not at home. We feel that
Crawford county republicans have
come through this ordeal, for it is an
ordeal which is apt to try the tempers
and souls of men, with less feeling and
with more of the spirit of cooperation
than in many of the other political
units of the United States.
The convention was we'll attended,
nearly all the precincts were repre-
scented, and a genuine feeling of good
and stalwart republicanism prevailed.
There were among the delegates quite
a few who had Roosevelt in mind as
their first choice, but the Cummins
candidacy was practically unrepresent-
ed, while the Taft men were largely
in the majority, the towns of Denison,
Manila, Charter Oak, Vail, Dow City,
Klron and Schleswig being almost
unanimously for the administration.

Smyrna times., 1912-11-13

From the number of stray dogs
running the streets of Smyrna with
out an apparent owner, Smyrna
must be dumping ground for dogs.
Doubtless some country people who
want to get rid of their CANNES
think, since Smyrna has an impound-
ing law, that all they have to do is
to bring their worthless dogs here and
Smyrna "will do the rest. " Town
Council is not into this business for
the profit or pleasure there is in it.
The law is for the protection of its
citizens. 1t now looks as though an
other law will have to be passed and
enforced fixing fine or penalty for
using the streets of Smyrna as a
dumping ground for worthless
country dogs.

Smyrna, as well as other towns is
feeling the effects of coal shortage.
Dealers are unable to fill full orders
but are obliged to splice out so as to
keep all supplied. From almost every
important city in the country there
comes alarm talk conc erning a possi-
BILE if not already developed coal
shortage. In some cities retailers
have advanced the price over the
schedules arranged earlier in the
year, and in other cities there is talk
of an advance. The retailers almost
everywhere are placing the blame
either upon the railroads or the coal
operators, claiming that they have
not been able to obtain consignments
ordered weeks ago. New York is one
of the cities where an anthracite
shortage seems to have developed
right on the verge of winter. The
retail dealers there claim that mid
dlemen or spectators have somehow
been placed in position where they
can force an advance on coal deliver
ed in New York of from 81 to 50 per
ton. One retail dealer declared that
he could get any size of anthracite
coal he wanted delivered promptly
by paying the advance price. A
committee representing anthracite
operators has issued a statement to
New York consumers in which it is
said "the larger mining companies
are holding absolutely to their cir
eular prices. They have not advanc-
ed the price to dealers to whom they
sell and have no intention of doing
So" The statement further gives
the assurance that there will be no
shortage if coiise ners do not generally
attempt to buy in arge quantities for
storage. 1t is intimateI that WHAT
ever shortage may exist is an artifi
cial one, and has been caused by
larger percentage of consumers pur
chasing entire winter supplies in ad
vance.

The Bulgars, elated by their vic
tories over the Turks, are now de-
manding equal rights from the big
powers. Now they have conducted a
successful war, they don't want to be
patronized any longer. This seems to
have set the big powers to thinking,
for they never have cared particularly
to learn that little powers can take
care of themselves.

Now that the Democrats have a
majority on joint ballot Of the Della
ware Legislature, we voice the wish
of many Smyrna citizens that our
fellOw-townsman Hon. L. Irving
Handy be elected United States
Senator to succeed Senator Richardson.
Mr.. Handy is ably fitted to represent
our state in that high body and if
elected would measure up to the re-
sponsibilities placed upon him. No
other Democrat could represent the
state better. We should be glad to
have the honor come to Smyrna.

1t was predicted sometime ago that
the delay Of the Street Committee
might cause the loss of street exten-
sion work. Such seems to be the
case. AS winter weather comes on
it seems urgent to give some atten-
tion to west Commerce street from
the standpipe to Jerman Chapel to
say nothing of the west end of Mt.
Vernon street. A few weeks ago
when the contractors with their
steam roller and equipment were
here building the Smyrna Clayton
stone road, Council tried to urge
upon the street committee to make
deal with the contractors for the use
or their steam roller in exchange for
Smyrna's water sprinkler. etc. Moth
ing was ever done and now in order
to make repairs or extension work,
the street committee is obliged to
go to more expense in hiring Dover s
steam roller in order to carry on the
work which seems necessary before
cold weather sets in. Delays are
often costly and Smyrna seems to be
no execution to the rule.

Nevada must be waking up to the
fact that it is gaining an unsavory re-
putation as the divorce state of the
nation, for its present legislature has
made the conditions less easy. This
is another instance of the wholesome
effect of public opinion upon law
makers, even when money interests
are concerned.
