Smyrna times., 1919-05-07

About town the question of train
and mail service is the general talk,
accentuated more particularly of late
by the rumor that still more trains
were to be dropped from Smyrna
Branch. Several months ago the
Railroad Company took off the first
afternoon train connection north, and
the last evening train, south. This
caused much chagrin and disappoint-
ment, especially the latter train, for
the reason it gave business men and
Shoppers to Wilmington and Phila-
delphia a longer day in both cities.
Besides this it cut off a mail service
that meant much to Smyrna in that
letters could be mailed in the evening
at 7.30 o'clock and by going to Dover
and up on the midnight, could be de-
livered in Philadelphia early the next
morning. Prominent citizens and
business men of Smyrna have been
talking of an Indignation meeting and
appointing a committee to visit the
powers that be-" and entering an
emphatic protest, but they are hoping
this will not be necessary; that the
Railroad Company will see to its ad-
vantage of catering to the wishes and
desires of Smyrna. While the Smyr-
ma Branch line may not be a paying
investment in itself, as feeder fo1

And now Smyrna is promised a
three-trip-a-week boat line! Another
mark of progress for the Smyrna
community. The Steamer Smyrna y
a passenger-freight boat, is to make
its maiden voyage to Smyrna Land
ing next week, and the new concern,
which is said to be strongly financed
is asking no funds in the way OF
stock from the community, but only
a share of patronage, In the days
of the Tygerts, and later under
George F. Brady, a Smyrna steam
boat line was a lively and profitable

industry. If it paid then, there is no
reason why it should not be made to
pay now. Smyrna River navigation,
right here at our own door, opens up
into one of the most fertile farming
industries of central Delaware, and
affords a comparatively short trip to
the bay and to the Wilmington and
Philadelphia markets. It behooves
everybody to lend encouragement and
support to this enterprise and make
Smyrna develop and grow.

ignore this fact and the sooner they
reinstate the trains and cater to the
trade of Smyrna, the better the feel
